I have been involving myself more and more with the releases, blogs, etc. finding the identity of MWO more and moreintriguing as it goes along. The mechlab is one the things "I think" I care about most. Thanks!

Not to sound crass, but wasn't March's "surprise" that even PGI didn't know just the announcement of the next confirmed Mech like they were doing every month anyways? Not that confirmed Mechs aren't goodness in and of itself. :lol:

I am so stoked! Every time they give us something it just gets better and better.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make this a reality! And that includes the fans.

Maybe 25th April is the date of Beta Phase II, which will surprise even some of the devs because they won't know how we'll play? =P

Lately the 1st Wednesday of the month has been my favorite, closely followed by the 4th Wednesday for the surprise. Actually this months surprise Wednesday should be interesting, if we see 'mech #9 then that would go a long way to clarifying all the speculation about having 12 'mechs at launch.

I hope they include a video explaining the mech lab and how it works exactly on the 4th aswell as the blog. THIS is the most important aspect to me at the moment.

Mechlab is always a touchy subject. While having cutomization options is a big plus, I fear it will turn certain mechs into one hit wonders. It got so bad in Mech4 I resorted to only playing stock matches. It turned out to be more fun.
