I'm getting this on the password screen and in game but its not stopping me from logging in.

Same here. Can't make it go away but I can still play. ]

Same here. It stays on all the way to the mechbay page.

[SulliMike23]

I'm getting the same thing. I even sent an email with a pic attached to prove it.

Fafnir

• All Variants
  
  • Added 20 RL and LL Armor <<--- in a useless area... noone gets thier legs shot out its usually the torsos... so nothing really changed this is effectively a useless buff
    
  • would rather it be on the side torsos instead of the legs..

I managed to log in and saw that dialog in the upper left hand corner. I made it go away by pressing F10, which I discovered by trial and error considering F9 shows FPS. I'd like to know if the patch it's asking me to install now is a hotfix since I was booted from the middle of a game at about 7:12 PM EST. Official confirmation would be nice.

Oh yeah, old polar highlands was HELL. I am glad it changed when it did. I remember bringing champion trial mechs to fight there

I actually loved old polar; when there weren't any LRMs. But man, once the LRM enthusisasts - and just plain griefers - figured out that there wasn't really any cover from spotted LRMs... Hellish is a mild word.

A lot of optimized builds will strip leg armor, and a Light that's trying to tackle a Fafnir can absolutely go for a leg - overall, it's not a huge buff, but I don't think my 100-point repeatable-alpha 6U really needs a huge buff, so I'm fine with it. If they increased my side torsos by that amount, the 'mech would be insane.

[Darkhangel]

Hum, getting a server not available when trying to patch even when the server status show onmline... :-(

i get my side torsos and back blown out frequetly even though i torso twist legs were fine prepatch that armor needs to just go to the side torsos instead i main a faffy and just because people strip leg armor and then the legs armor gets a buff is reduntant.. it just makes the fafnier more useless than it already is.. like all innershere mechs post cauldron but what do i know?.. if the armor is getting buffed... its because of the wepons systems are too cold and people whine about it being paper thin.... fix the heat problem and people will complain less about the armor and stop abuseing the override systems on builds that dont even run with out it

The Fafnir has great armor quirks for the side torsos to begin with - but none whatsoever for the legs. That's a big deal, for an Inner Sphere assault 'mech with many close combat builds; a good Light or Medium attacker will absolutely go for your legs if you're fresh.

On the other hand, it already has more ST armor than an Atlas, so if you're losing torsos while trying to twist, you might be over-exposing, or taking fire from a flank.

[Trotil]

As a result of an unannounced quickfix being rolled out (and me thinking scheduled patch hadn't run its full course), I came to realize that MWO Repair Tool treats -mechloadouts\ directory, created at its default location inside game install folder, as "not needed by the game". Technically it's true, however I doubt ppl would be happy to lose it due to lack of attention.
Think before you click to fix the purported issues, ladies and gents.

Oh, for the love of... take your pick, could you please put in the effort of giving this thing symmetrical arms? Doesn't matter to me if it's guns akimbo or underslung PPCs on both sides, but this uneven config has annoyed me ever since the Hellslinger. You managed to do it for the Sparky and Ares Griffins too.

I know I'm just a small fish in a big pond, but cosmetic annoyances like that keep me from spending money on variants that I love.

...I would love it if mechs in general could stretch-out their arms forward.

Sometimes the sale begins right after the patch; sometimes it begins in one, two or three days or so.

Just be patient.

Hey I thought consumables were now supposed to be available in 100 packs with this patch?

I'm still only seeing one-at-a-time-clickety-click and 10 max...am I doing something wrong?
