Man this patch feels really insignificant. Anymore information releasing old mwo maps back into rotation pgi?

[ImperialKnight]

Well done PGI, so much for limiting high alpha builds. 80 point alpha to your face with little to no heat build up every 3.6 seconds.

[SmokeGuar]

It is not 80 point alpha, its 2 * 40. Close range only, works only against stationary targets. Massive scatter on anything that moves. You can already test this on Hunch IIC.
And most players don't have Boiler, MC wall. Nightstar on cbills, but not that common either.

KGC with AC/20 HSL+1 when?

It's the stock build! hueh

[Joe Decker]

I am wondering if we will ever get a new map. I cannot even remember when we got the last new map.

Solaris City, sometime in 2018.

+HMG ammo is nice.

• Scouting mode's Intel Collected displayed on the in-game HUD no longer resets to 0 when a player quits and re-joins the match.

As long as this is only for players who pressed esc and clicked quit match or exit MWO then sure.
If its a server-side communications dc then no, this will be just one more nail in the coffin of CW/FW/FP.

Probably about as soon as you volunteer to optimize those maps for them....

Solaris City....

[Dee Eight]

Solaris City was the last new map, and it arrived last summer same as when they introduced the Solaris mode to the game.

[BrunoSSace]

Was hoping for more buffs, guess maybe next month?

[admiralbenbow123]

That's a nice patch, but where are all the promised FP updates?

[Dran Dragore]

oh. Wow. So much content. ....Not. Its sad to see that we got Feb. 2019 and still nothing gamechanging to FP. Looks like all is running to MW5; not the MWO Players. But hey! Do you want to buy a new Mech or more MCs? Bonus Content added! More Bonus Content added! Even more Bonus Content added,.... Oh, and havent you seen the new glowing eyes? Just a few MCs ... sad -.-

[Cyrilis]

YES PLEASE ! ! !

It could even be made customizable so we can shift the information in a Monitor we want to show it

(Also: I recently "resaw" the old post about how our great monitor system finally got placeholders and how in the upcoming months they'd be working on real functionality....from 3 years ago. Any news on that?)
(I know I sound bleh. There are good things here, some long awaited and others showing that the art team is hard at work and its appreciated. We've even seen a hip fix, so I'm sure we may see some other tweaks in the near future as well. But sometimes little reminders help to find out if things are still on a backburner or if they're completely forgotten.
The old heatsink monitor

that PGI removed would be absolutely crucial to helping players understand why they suddenly shut down in losing a side torso even with a standard engine, due to losing the 6 to 10 heatsinks they shoved into that side and the arm accompanying it so we'd stop hearing all these damn salty tears about how the game is bugged.... or how the LFE/Clan XL is too punishing [when its actually that + losing the heatsinks they boated in the side they lost that really screws them over].)
Also missed is the old ammo monitor, which made it clear what body parts were expendable and which needed to be protected for ammo-dependent units.

Eheeey awesome buffs to Thanatos-4P and Nightstar-9S. I always liked the way Nighstar looked and the 4P Thanatos is my favorite among the Thanatos loadouts!
Great news for me.

• UAC/20 HSL +1 quirk added

Really? Come on, no love for the Fafnir variants that actually come with two UAC/20's as well?

Also Victor could use its full agility buff from the PTS.

[Pelmeshek]

TLDR:
-no new maps;
-zero changes for CW/FP;
-mg ammo buff after 2 year of release new tech;
-uac20 quirks for hero supernova(lol) and nighstar(loool). Plus lowlander with 4 erppc(yay);
-"Bolt-On and Weapon Door shadows have been removed due to these shadows not animating along with the 'Mech." well no comments;
-but hey guys now u can buy glowing eyes for mech

[W31rdWarrior]

No Bushwacker Civil War weapons retrofit?

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

I thought the reduced patching was aimed towards providing more featured updates. From what I've researched it seems to be based around MC grabs (retrofit). I get why this is important but ...

Where on Earth is the 2019 roadmap???
