I really want something to spend my cash on, and I really want to play dressup with my giant metal men.

[Roughneck45]

Don't think so.

But oh boy, that would be a nice suprise!

[SkkyHigh]

I'd settle for just the LRM buff myself and phase 2!

Being able to paint my Founders CAT skkyblue would be awesome, but it might make me stand out when I'm trying to hide my 65t mech behind some trees.

[Vassago Rain]

We don't know.

You wont be able to reskin your founders mechs further than changing the colour of the "pin stripe".

I thought, tomorrow was going to have skins included in the patch. Who knows? It would really be nice to have patch notes the day before the actual patch. If they are worried about noting something that might not make it in, just mention the definite stuff.

Better servers/internet on their end would be nice. Atlas's rubberbanding even when you are below 100 ping, 60+ fps = unplayable.

Pinstriping only!!!! How much MC for a whole new paint job then?
Patch notes before the patch turns them into promises and not a preview.
Even my wife has gotten feed up with me waiting for each patch, "guess what's in the new patch dear," now gets an eye roll and "finshed them chores yet?! Cause you aint playing in that damn trial by fire tournament unless there ALL done!"

I get the feeling if we were getting any content other than the Cataphract they would've said so. I could use some modules that aren't crap though.

The following items are new content being worked on in addition to bug fixing and performance improvements.

ECM

We've had several internal playtests. Overall I'm excited to see this hit the battlefield, as it adds a very interesting tactical component. However, in its current state is very overpowered and makes certain mech builds even more useful (Gausspults). There was some general usability feedback from the team. Some found it hard to visualize, others wanted more indication that a friendly unit had an ECM equipped.

We're keeping it in test until some HUD/BattleGrid changes help smooth out communication, along with making sure the ECM is not OP. For those wanting to hide from LRMs, this will be your must have item.

New Camo Spec

Exciting stuff! Players can customize their mechs skin and pattern for MC. The system is very easy to use, select a skin, select up to 3 colors and hit the save button. Like a paint shop, changes are permanent and erase any previous pain schemes. There will be some free skins, CB only content, but mostly camo spec will require MC to make changes.

Cockpit Items

Some of you have already redeemed your PC Gamer and NVIDIA codes, which gives you access to a skins and bobbleheads. Later this month we`ll be rolling out more items to beautify your in-game experience.

Modules

Two new modules in test. Details Forthcoming.

******* Betty

Currently in the game, available by .cfg command only. Will be turned on in November with new dialogue, which sounds freaking awesome. Anyone seen or heard our new trailer. Hint Hint. Answer: Yes.

Conquest Mode

We've been play testing this for a few weeks now, things are coming along nicely! It's fun and requires lots of team coordination. We're fixing up some balance issues, resource/base locations, and general HUD/BattleGrid messaging to smooth out what's going on. We're taking a look at CB/EXP rewards, focusing on rewarding teamplay above all else. This means a reduction in kill/assist/damage done rewarding, and an increase in holding resources points. With a new mode, comes a new way to launch into matches. A new button will allow players to select/set their default mode to: Quick Play (random), Assault, or Conquest.

The above from the Lab Post by Bryan. Obviously I think its a little too much to expect it all.

That said I would of thought skins would be a priority for PGI. I can see them generating a lot of revenue. Apart from that, perhaps we will see Betty finally (Its just a case of implementing some voice samples and the bare bones were already there weeks ago).

Hopefully some of the weapon balances will also make it in.

i got the wav files from i think MW: mercenaries for the computer voice.
Think theres a way to put them in instead of that new female voice from that Open Beta trailer?

[Joe3142]

It would be nice! I really want to get a bright yellow atlas

Probably will let you kick prolonged back in the frozen plains though, in a snowstorm you might be quite invisible with sky blue.

Hadn't thought of that!!!

You'd still be able to find me, just have to look for the red glow of my giant "J" in the back.

I'm against battle banners.
Because if some people found out how to get the "Reichskriegsflagge" on their Mechs, I would become a TK. seriously.
I don't want any politics in a game.

i highly doubt that premade battle banners can contain any politic context. what i meant is cannon banners of house kurita.

Then that was a misunderstanding, sorry. I thought you were talking about WW2 japanese flags.

[Timelordwho]

I would pay to put a Takeda flag on a Dragon.
