I cannot even play a game now on any server. Logged out/ in 4x and nada. Your game is BADLY broken. If disappearing mechs, crashes, and mechs locked "in game" weren't bad enough...

@ Matt Newman:

How were you able to reduce the ID's by so much?
But maybe you will explain this, when the patch comes out.

Thank you again for the update. Really appreciate that even though we are impatient and want our mech fix that we know you are all working on ifixing it.

Thank you for the updates. It's nice to have a deeper dive into the mechanics of the issue and the potential fix.

Out of curiosity, will there be any compensation for those of us with active premium time or does that get wrapped up in the planned event?

Keep on fighting the good fight!

Because if the design of the system it had unique IDs for each mech for each flag for each location.

ID 1 Atlas Davion Flag Left
ID 2 Atlas Davion Flag Back
ID 3 Atlas Davion Flag Right

So the # IDS for IS Flag bolt-ons would be (# IS Chassis) 68 x (# of IS Factions) 7 x 3 (Back,Left,Right) = 1478 IDs
Now the math is IS Flag bolt ons = (# of IS Factions) 7 x 3 (Back,Left,Right) = 21 IDs

Same Maths for Clan Flags, MechCon Flags, ETC
(and don't get me started on the the Horns with color variations.)

I like Bolt-ons in general but I prefer bespoke chassis bolt-ons like the Zeus Fins or the stuff we are doing for legends.
Thankfully after freeing up 10,000 Item IDs and considering we add about 1000 Items a year for the Database we should be able to go 10 more years before we have this problem again :)

Thumbs up!
Now we just need a free new 'bleeding heart' bolt on given to all of that played through this period of instability.

It's same as 3 days ago - I queue for a match, I get to map selection screen, map+mode is selected and then I'm kicked back to hangar with my mech locked.

Ok, I'll fess up. I bought my first bolt-on during the lightening sale last week... so I guess I broke the system Posted Image.

Seriously, I was going to comment on the prestigious number of similar items (I bought tusks for my BSW) that seemed to be overkill.... and as it turns out.... Posted Image

Thanks for the explanation!

Welp. Good luck with the DB update guys. All I can say is, I'm glad it's not my problem :D (but seriously I am sure it will be fine).

The fact that this caused the game to not make matches for the servers burned away so much of my premium time. I would hope that at a minimum a premium time compensation for players once this is fixed would be done. This really screwed that time for me.

PGI has a reputation of being very generous when it comes to compensation. We can complain afterwards if need be.

2ND UPDATE DEC 1ST:

CURRENT EVENTS:

We have both the Free Mech Event and The Longbow Challenge event running right now. Both events will receive an extension once the patch is live. I am currently thinking of adding a 10-day extension to both.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

The compensation event and all the Holiday events will not be posted or started until the patch is live, and we can confirm on the live environment that everything is back to normal.


I guess we can unlock premium time several times if it comes in little installments at very low requirements.

The upside is- the game has been running long enough for an overflow to occur.

Never really liked bolt ons- given so much of gittin gud seems to involve hill humping and corner peaking- extra stuff flapping in the breeze giving away your mechs position doesn't seem handy. Especially since it doesn't fall off once shot anymore.

Think a lot of the bolt-ons were from the MWO Solaris 7 era, which is mostly...defunct...

Now it's MWO Legends era!

Now, if only MWO would put AMS hardpoint on each and every Legendary Mech...

The December 13 patch should solve the problem.
