I think the bug that caused the delay of the patch has to do with collision, thats why they turned it off, but only some speculation of myself

[LordKnightFandragon]

They are adding Endo steel, DHS and Ferro armor? And we still cannot change trial mechs? Wow, make the grind up those **** stock mechs as painful asyou can please nad thank you...ugh...just let us customize the damn things..

I'm guessing it's a temporary fix to stop those that are abusing the mechanic. They're likely still working on the physics of collisions.

Abusing the mechanic? So when the netcode still hasn't been fixed and they get protected by a lag-shield we just have to live with no way to make them stay still so we can actually hit them? Maybe I should just pilot a Light Mech now, since no one can hit me other than by luck.

I just need to talk about this one more time, the knockdown. Love it when a jenner/comando just runs right through you and melts your rear armor away(happened to me a couple times last night ARGHHHH). Please fix this. I think as do others that a little mech should get knocked over by a big mech. It is just physics . Will that be fixed on Monday???

hmm why does the Yen-Lo-Wang paint job remember me of the japanese "rising sun"?
Yen-Lo-Wang is the god of the underworld in chinese mythology, it was never ever used by/for kurita.... i have seen some paint jobs that look similar on mech figures for table top, so it seems to be acurate to the lore, but still it feels utterly wrong.

is that paint job another big fail of the early battletech year`s designers? (such as copying designs from an anime, which led to the "unseens")
or did that paintjob come up later?

lmfao, i wasn't the only one that noticed the Japanese paint job http://www.google.co...iw=1600&bih=799, if this is based in the 3000's don't you think the paint should be unique? Why not have Artwork Competitions from users where people can submit their ideas to be voted on by the rest of the users? its a win win for the players?!?!?!

It's from the novels. It's canon. It's also worth noting that there is A LOT of cultural crossover in BT, so even though it is a bit screwy it does (sort-of) fit.

[Melcyna]

funny i thought there was a clear distinction between the chinese and the japanese in BT, since liao and draconis combine represent each respectively...

the name of the mech, the pilot, the pilot's nationality etc made it difficult to comprehend... why they use it.

but perhaps the stickler point is that... some of the chinese are not exactly keen being associated with the paintwork of what's essentially one of the worst invader in their last 100 year since the flag was prominently used by the imperial japanese military.

[Cypher10110]

I'll miss the collisions, but I understand they were not working 100% as intended, I have faith that when they are re-introduced they will be more fun than ever

Great patch guys, looking forward to the influx of newbies to pwn once the open beta/full reset hits.
My Jenner is hungry!

i dont know if its just me but i have 1/7 updates to do and the client keeps crashing when it starts to patch the first one thats 55.8 mbs this happening to anyone else?

[Alienized]

just deinstalled the game. gets worse with every patch to play for low end machines.
+ theres always coming stuff into the game as if the devs would think *oh lets do something totally stupid and mess up the gameplay*
(incredible amount of rep costs like i dont even get c-bill even if i win + survive + get bonuses from killing/ destroying components on my catapult, no knocking down of mechs totally makes it impossible to kill jenners now with all that **** rubberbanding and lagging to hell).

[Candun]

i dont know if anyone has mentioned it but,patch notes said engine prices have lowered? looks like they are more costly now to me?

[PiWright42]

Is it me or are we not getting as much EXP? even when I am lucky enough to be in a group that wins and I survive I seem to only get about 800 EXP. I always wind up in a lopsided match now as well. I noticed that payout dropped so I went back to a vanilla loadout on my jenner and still pay is very low.

Given that frame rate is a requirement for good aim, especially on the move which light mechs have to do to survive, I am not happy with how slow the game now runs on my PC. My PC is pretty low end now, (I'm about two months away froma major update), so I went into windows turned off stuff like Areo and anything alse I could find to turn off that was not anti-virus and streamlined the startup and set the games graphics to low. Before the new patch I was getting a frame rate of about 30fps now, after the latest patch, it's back down to around 15fps again. Thinking about turning off even my anti-virus and anti -malware programs now. Hard to justify that when I consider the scant resources those are supposed to use and the loss of protection that entails.

Sorry all. As enthusiastic as I am for this title this last patch leaves me feeling cold. Which reminds me. Why is the frozen city map popping up so much now?

if your just playing MWO or any PC game thats not browser based you should always shut off antivirus and other such security devices, i have windows defender disabled, along with all my anti virus and firewalls, DWM is off during game along with gadgets. it really can help, especially on lower end machines

[PiWright42]

Still have not had one win today. Scores are pretty consistent for the last six matches. My team gets 0 kills thiers get 7. At the rate of 150exp per match it will be about two years before I get to work on the master efficiency. Good thing I had all the basics out of the way before the patch.

[RadioKies]

I bought an Atlas from the money I've gotten with the patch, and it sucks so hard a supermassive black hole wouldn't have any effect on me. Jenners, Jenners everywhere, running around and into you shooting lasers and (S)SMR's everywhere without you beïng able to do anything. Pre-patch the Atlas was pretty easy to deal with, after the patch without tripping an Atlas is worthless. A big waste of money. All the Catapults are way more efficient and scary than an Atlas.

Also the speed nerf on my beloved Raven makes me a sad panda. Why would anyone buy a Raven instead of the Jenner now? Good looks doesn't win a battle.

Ummm, my raven does 130kph.
Seems to be working just fine.
