Happy New Year MechWarriors!

We hope you had a great Holiday, and have been enjoying all of the Sales, Events, and the new Quick Play map Hellebore Outpost! Keep and eye out for more Sales and Events coming soon, and don't forget about the January Free 'Mech Event where you can still get a HunchBack IIC HBK-IIC-A for FREE!

This patch includes the release of the new Predator Booster Pack (screenshots below). You have 30 days after release to still qualify for the Early Adopter Bonuses, which include the Bolt-ons shown below. In case you missed it, Mark Nicholson has a great forum thread highlighting the development process of the Predator 'Mechs and assets. Speaking of Nicholson-designed 'Mechs, we also had a successful release of the Rivals Pack last month, proving to be a popular pack that features new Hero variants of the Roughneck and Sun Spider 'mechs.

The Sixth Quirk Pass is here and includes 'mechs like the Nova, Linebacker, and Battlemaster, and there are adjustments to previous quirk passes, map fixes, bug fixes and more!

Hellebore Outpost has been very well received, and Francois is already hard at work on the next new Quick Play map, which will be based off of the Faction Play map Emerald Taiga and will be another new biome for Quick Play. Expect to hear and see more about that, as well as our other MWO plans for 2022 very soon!

As with everything, these updates are subject to further balance changes in the future, especially as more variables are brought into the equation with future updates and changes.

So get out there and do the science, and get us your feedback for future iterations!

And now, we hope you enjoy the patch.

-The MechWarrior Online Team

    Patch Files (Direct Download)

    To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.

    Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.

    This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.

    Patch File(s): - http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_396.zip

    • Download the above file(s)
    • For sake of ease, we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
    • You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
    • Launch the MWO Portal
    • Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
    • Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
    • In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
    • For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
    • Click the blue Patch button
    • The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
    • Once the patch is complete, launch the game

    Why did you add missile cooldown to the BAS-Prime's SO8 in the first place? No one uses that single missile hardpoint for anything other than a mixed pod LRM boat. Increasing it to 25% is just silly, especially when the mech is designed around Gauss Rifles.

    Some weirdos run a single NARC in there along with their Gauss Laser main build. Pretty funny actually.

    It's short for "set of eight", which refers to an omni mech that uses its stock omnipod configuration instead of mix and matching pods from different variants.

    Clan Small Pulse Laser: Heat increased to 2.2 (from 2.05)

    Good bye laser incubus. It was already really hot and had an alpha of like 32, and that's with replacing one SPL with a ER Small to make the SPL build even work at all. Now it's going to be unplayable. Sad. I kinda liked my SPL incubus. It wasn't great, but it was pretty decent.

    But, I mean, you know, it's cool a Parana can take down a Kodiak. I mean, that's balanced.

    Regardless of if people like/dislike certain aspects of this patch, it is good to see that there is still support going on. Considering the potential news for MW5.

    Funny.

    In case of a serious question: Set-of-8 bonus is applied to a mech when all 8 omnipods belong to the same variant.

    What impulse does? I thought it is somewhat related to screenshake, but apparently it is something different?


    You're correct: "impulse" refers to the amount of screen shake caused. Reducing it means that you won't get knocked around as much while you're getting shot, and can better line up a return shot.

    To my own question: why the sudden addition of Radar Dep to literally everything? I make it a personal point to AVOID that overpowered pos whenever possible, only caving to the need to pick up the ECM nodes. LRMs can't trade in a direct-fire capacity without locks because of their incredibly slow projectile speed, and with the amount of ECM on the field, today, and MASC, and overall maneuverability, cover, and general Call-of-Duty peek-and-poke playstyle in MWO, the ability to hold a target for a second or two after it drops into cover to complete the target lock and fire indirect (also enabling the upward arc which will clear the cover they just ducked behind) is the ONLY way an LRM weapon system can cause any damage in a match. Given that Radar Dep takes precedence over Target Retention, as well, and the increase in 100% radar dep running around the battlefield is absolutely eradicating an entire weapon system from the game.

    BAS-B arms get 3 more armor for an entire missile hardpoint (+10 vs. +7 on the new arms)? Weak!

    Clan Small Pulse Laser: Heat increased to 2.2 (from 2.05)

    Good bye laser incubus. It was already really hot and had an alpha of like 32, and that's with replacing one SPL with a ER Small to make the SPL build even work at all. Now it's going to be unplayable. Sad. I kinda liked my SPL incubus. It wasn't great, but it was pretty decent.

    But, I mean, you know, it's cool a Parana can take down a Kodiak. I mean, that's balanced.



    The heat increase has been intentionally chosen small to not affect mechs that rely only on SPLs. And even then the cSPLs right now are still at the highest performance level they've even been since 2014 (including the period they had 6 damage and 3 heat).

    The mech you are referring to, assuming it is an INC-4 can run 6xSPL + 1xER Micro with 14 DHS and a fast engine.

    Currently that mech is able to alpha 15 times at a sustained DPS of 8.38 after being fully skilled. Each alpha is 18.4% on the heat bar and takes your heat sinks 3.11 to dissipate the resulting heat fully, and they manage to bring down your heat to around 5-6% when your next alpha is ready.

    With this change you'll be able to still alpha 12 times before overheating at 7.86 sustained DPS. An alpha will be 19.9% on your heat bar, which will take your heatsinks 3.37 seconds to fully dissipate, and they manage to bring down your heat to around 7% when your next alpha is ready.

    Pretty powerful still. Not sure how you concluded that it is going to be unplayable. Were 6xcSPL Arctic cheetahs unplayable when cSPL had 3 heat?

    Also regarding the Piranha. That mech mainly relies on massed machine guns and micro class lasers mixed with a few cSPLs to deliver its DPS up close and is unrelated to this change.


    TLDR: less than 2% heat bar on every alpha hardy makes anything unplayable, especially at the current performance level of cSPLs.

    Adding unique quirks into CT of Clan OmniMechs is the way to go!

    It can rejuvenate the sales for the Clan Wave 1/2/3 packs!

    https://mwomercs.com/clans
    https://mwomercs.com/wavetwo
    https://mwomercs.com/wavethree
    ie:
    NVA-Prime(I) CT: additional -5% Energy Heat Gen
    TBR-Prime(I) CT: Built-in Light-BAP function in CT
    WHK-Prime(I) CT: Built-in Targeting Computer MK1 function in CT
    DWF-Prime(I) CT: -25% Radar Deprivation
    etc.

    After all, if I already have the Hero mech that does not care about SO8 set bonus (eg: Timber Wolf Warrant),
    why would I want to buy TBR-Prime(I)?

    Above proposal is the answer: unique quirks into CT of Clan OmniMechs!
