Hope you are having a great day!
Coming at ya with the current "leaks" from the Cauldron Discord for Feb 2025 patch slated to be released on Feb 18th.
Remember, things can change. This is also not all of the patch notes. Just what was released on the discord. I am posting this to the forums to help keep you (the community) informed for those who don't want to mess with discord. (understandable)
If you DO however want to be kept up to date on whats going on with MWO or would like to join in the discussion you can find the Cauldron Feedback Discord here ---------> https://discord.gg/nvycBY7ngG
Note: I decided to post the loadout images of the Firemoth despite the loadouts being posted on the pre-order page. I felt it would help people see what the default loadouts are a little easier than a list of text.
Of course I will be posting a link to the discussion thread at the end of this post and I will be asking for this thread to be pinned and locked
Do enjoy and thanks for checkin it out!
Fire Moth Hitboxes Front and back
YES you ARE reading the following correctly
I am including this snipit because it IS discussion about this and was posted in the leaks section, and I think it helps to give a slight insight into the thought process behind balancing.
Again. Thanks for checking this all out. I will continue to do this as long as I am able and there is interest.
The discussion thread can be found here --------> https://mwomercs.com...aks-discussion/
PLEASE direct ALL discussions about this post to that discussion thread as this post will be pinned and locked shortly.
May your Jump Jets always be full, and your Lasers cool. Cheers
Later Edit: I noticed a little talk about MASC and its changes in relation to the Fire Moth. It WAS talked about and addressed in December when it was announced we would get the Fire Moth. I will copy and paste verbatum what was stated in the Cauldron discord Leaks channel. This will explain both why MASC is changed for the Fire Moth and any questions concerning "but I thought we couldnt get the Fire Moth cause it would break things."

Since this question will be asked a million times.
"In the past you said the Fire Moth would break MWO, why are you releasing it now PGIMan?"
You might remember the week of super speed event queues we did around 4 months back. This was operating as a test to see exactly where things started to break down. One thing we learned was that the real offender against hitreg was more acceleration and deceleration rather than just top speed. The Fire Moth will move 209 kph with full skills + MASC engaged, but it won't have the full mobility you would expect of a 20 tonner(more akin to a Mist Lynx rather than a Locust or Flea). The Fire Moth will also gain a reduced acceleration/deceleration bonus from its MASC. This doesn't mean the mech has no maneuverability, just slightly less than your average 20 tonner. Instead, it will make up for it with its massive top speed.
Sorry about forgetting that bit of info.
