Cats outta the bag. It is correct, only 8 mechs for now. [Editor note: ...will get their Agility updated]

Unfortunately there have been some challenges to work through.

I believe a DevLog will cover it and explain a little more so just have to wait for that.

Any bets which 8 mechs will get their agility updated? My bet is:

• Firestarter
  
• Centurion
  
• Hunchback
  
• Hunchback IIC
  
• Timberwolf
  
• Night Gyr
  
• Atlas
  
• Kodiak 3

So in essence all the worst offender in terms of agility.

Only 8?

As in their entire agility pass, PGI is only doing 8?

Sisisi, as ASH said cat is out of the bag.
Super disappointing if you ask me.
Was looking forward so much for this, even more than weapon changes.

Ash's message of "issues to work through" implies to me that more should come later. I'm curious as to what those "issues" were though because PGI was able to do a crapton of weapon changes all at once so IDK how agility would be different from that.

Lights already push the limits of the games engine to keep up with them and all the other classes tend to have more than enough mobility. Assaults are the ones that got reamed the worst during the last mobility pass and it stands to reason they take baby steps and buff up the worst offenders first instead of a global change.

[Wid1046]

This might also mean that both more total mechs might be being changed and that mechs that are already agile like some lights, the Zeus and the Gargoyle may no longer be being ignored. While waiting longer for changes to other mechs will be a bit disappointing, I'd rather they do things right than do things fast.

After going through all the discussion here, strictly based on merits, I have requested for the Cauldron to do a second look at light mech mobility values.

Dario and I have drafted a potential revision, and are waiting for others to give their opinion.

[justcallme A S H]

I am kinda loving seeing this rumour mill at full spin.

Some is true, some isn't.



Perhaps Cauldron doesn't say anything and all you thirsty gamers can just wait and see

[Jman5]

If all they do is just give the Firestarter decent pitch, I will be amazed. Little known fact, but it is so bad that a piranha and locust can get under your sight line. And trying to knock down UAVs is a nightmare. You have to blind-shoot them using the range-finder.

8 mechs...

How many variants of Annihilators are there? Oh and throw in the KDK-3... oh and maybe Anni 1X again for good measure... I am not good with math so... if any are left over... it might be the Atlas D-DC

(Ps, I have never won the lotto so I might have guessed wrong on a couple of these...)

[LordNothing]

over 800 mechs in the game, maybe 50 are viable. but 8 mechs get buffs, lol.

if its 8 chassis, that would be different.

I hope it doesn't turn out like march patch but for agility.

Strong bet on Timber Wolf, since it is the free mech this month.

Daeron confirmed that the Timber Wolf will be one of the mechs to get an agility buff this month.

Unrelated to mech agility, but he also said that the clan booster pack will be going live next week.

We're working on it. To that point, the Timber Wolf will be receiving Mobility and Agility buffs in this month's patch!


Concept art is being created as we speak, and the pack will go live next week.

[PocketYoda]

Poor nightstars will stay crap i guess.. And those Hellfires.

Also those 8 above agility wont really help them with out serious quirks to keep them alive due to the crazy power creep and TTK boosts

the agility on the night gyr is terrible. just bought the hero on sale not too long ago. but its incredibly sluggish. there are clan assaults that handle better than it, like the dire wolf.

I don't mind them the hero is a good laser Gauss platform.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Mechs are said to be:

Firestarter
Centurion
Hunchback
Hunchback IIC
Night Gyr
Timber Wolf
Atlas
Kodiak

[x Deathstrike x]

Well then I guess right.

[Wildstreak]

They need to do the Locust.
