But first, I found that old creepy clown banshee jack in the box we talked about in the vlog.

An interesting object... and very distinctly different from the Javelin-in-the-Box too. Maybe it happens that I'm crazy, or perhaps I wonder who all would want this in their cockpits... but I think you and the others should make a final version of this Clown-Banshee-in-the-Box item for release. If nothing else, it would make a great reward for an Event Challenge whenever the ol' April Fools' Day stuff comes around. Can you imagine someone pairing it with the Fools' WarHorn in their own personal cockpit setups?
Also, please pass along to Francois (
or as Matt told me to call him, Frank) that I think he may have an absolute hit in adding all that extra water zoning to the Canyon Network terrain for increased interesting gameplay. I will very much look forward to this upcoming change to the map, and the overall visual effect which it may have upon battles.
This does come with one question worth asking, which someone else decided to mention to me. With all that added water on the terrain, is there also the ability to get increased cooling from standing in it? Or are those Mechs which equip Single Heat Sinks (
or for the Clans, their version of the Double Heat Sink systems) in the legs completely out of luck on getting extra cooling on the lower terrain? Or was that whole "cooling bonus for legs with Heat Sinks in water" thing never a part of MWO during all these years?
And not to forget, between seeing this preview of the Warden Pack items, the Quirks (
Likely defined as Set-Of-Eight in nature, right?) that are being shown as possible for release, those special cockpit items (
in particular, that WarHorn which looks like Night Vision Goggles being hard-mounted), and the Clan Elemental Bolt-Ons, those Mechs are going to be something to enjoy too. I will also look forward to seeing all of it emerge on the battlefields. Hey, even this emoji fits right now...

Are the C-Bill variants of the TBR and DWF going to get quirks similar to these? Because right now those quirks are better than the existing quirks on the chassis, even though the hardpoints are already decent on their own merits. This isn't like the Stryker pack where they had inferior hardpoints so they needed extra quirkage to be viable.
Hello there... I would personally like to ask you to not overreact so much as of yet about those Quirks which have been listed for the Warden Pack's Mechs which are incoming. Why? Because it's more than likely that most (
as in, all the ones between "Chassis
[C-Bills] Bonus" and "Base Armor" Bonuses in particular) of those Quirks have a deadlock of requiring the Set-Of-Eight being completely undisrupted. Otherwise, if those aren't so "Set-Of-Eight deadlocked" as I happen to think they are, you might have something going on there... at which point, then please start panicking unless The Cauldron is swinging through with some kind of Crazy Quirk Pass that I am unaware of.
