Greetings MechWarriors,

A Hot-Fix is scheduled to occur tomorrow, October 30th at 2PM PDT (9PM UTC), to address the following fixes:

- Fixed a typo where the Hero level rewards now display as GSP as intended instead of GXP.

- Fixed a bug where Faction Play Leaderboards are not sorting correctly.

- The building health in Faction Play Incursion mode has been slightly increased.

[BROARL]

hooray thankyou!
wait... the turrets too? please say yes.
in any case thanks for stuff, it's nice when invasion gets attention.

'The building health in Faction Play Incursion mode has been slightly increased.'

I hope you mean tripled as anything less will be meaningless mindless PvsE in this most hated of modes

5x current base health would be better

[Khalcruth]

Yes, it would be really good to know how big an increase it is.

The rewards you get on the way to hero..seee Steel Viper. are overjumped and not given when you had enough LPs before the patch. See Ghostbear screenshoot. Thats not correct and should bee fixed in the Hot Fix.

It's actually a bug with the bar, at 212k LP needed the bar should be at 0%.

Will we be compensated for the lost time during the Event?

The hour over what 13 days so 0.3% of the time?

Indeed.

I'm hoping they will extend the event, actually.

Since match scores have been reduced in FP it's hard to play enough games to get the 150 loot bags.

EDIT: I just realised Phase is about damage, so it's much more doable than I had believed.

EDIT EDIT: But Phase 2 is capped at only 50 Loot Bags, so it's going to be hard to get there unless we Potato Tornado Quick Play *shudder*.

CW Leaderboard is now sorted by LP. But normally it is sorted by KMDD.

Looks like something went wrong.
Better Luck next time.

My point is that it is very bad timing/bad buisness to run a hotfix/patch DURING an event....

Regardless of how long the servers are down.

[Aidan Crenshaw]

I wonder why they didn't touch the conquest win condition. Would have been a good opportunity.

Other than that, the hotfix took less than 15 minutes or so, no reason to complain here.

Your 212k Hero ranking loop starts at 0k for everyone, no matter how much above 1060k your total loyalty points was before the patch (read this sentence a few times until it digs in).

And upon completing the loop your total amount of LP is not reset back to 1060k, it just continues raising as usual : Only the separate counter for the 212k Hero ranking loop itself, is reset back from 212k to 0k.

That separate Hero ranking loop is displayed in the form of it's own exclusive yellow horizontal progression bar, that unlocks one reward every 53k LP, for up to 4/4 rewards if you go all the way up to 212/212k LP.

And since that's exactly how it's meant to work, don't expect a bug fix of it, even less any rewards for the full POST-PATCH 212k LP ranking that you weren't allowed to start until after the patch was released.

Please don't discourage PGI from patching/fixing their game.

It's a rare enough treat as it is.

Yeah, seems strange. Maybe they missed the 35 threads where we've asked for this?

Maybe 50 threads will breach the awareness threshold.

Sorting by LP is such a strange way to show a leaderboard--its a tenure recognition system, not a performance one. I prefer average KMDD per match but total KMDD (like it used to be) is still better than this.

Yeah. But best would be to make the Cw-Leaderboards SORTABLE for each COLUMN like the Quickplay-Leaderboards.

So for one person Total number of matches is the most important, For another the W/L - Ration, For another person the total Number of wins, etc.

I liked the DAMAGE MADE, in the Unit Leaderboards, BUT they removed it. And would like to see a comeback of this, for the Player Leaderboard too.

Hey and what about Merc-Player Leaderboard? Why was this removed? Mercs are people of second class or what?

Edited by tee5, 30 October 2019 - 06:07 PM.

[Extra Guac]

On the leaderboards, LP is the all-time tally but all the other stats are for this season only? Why?

On the Merc Units leaderboard, one of the columns is labelled "Total RP With Unit" instead of "LP".

Freelancer pilots are sorted by W/L ratio? That's ridiculous. A player could go 5-0 and retire at #1.

I thought about mentioning this but didn't want to add as little burden on the devs as possible and still make this thing worth looking at. I agree column sort options would be very nice.

[John Bronco]

Would just be nice to see all time stats by player and unit.
