LAST UPDATE: November 20th, 2012

FAQ

• Some features are considered high risk, these tend to slip the most.
  
• Since going to OB, we have slowed the rate of new features. Why? To make sure we get them as polished and balanced as possible before pushing them to production.
  
• Yes we miss dates. It's a fact of life when dealing when a live environment. We have less tolerance for shipping incomplete features.
  
• All the dates below are targets. Unless it says 100%, then there's a chance it could be delayed at the last minute.
  
• Testing at scale: some issues will only occur when they go to production. We are working to address this by setting up a new set of test servers.
  
• Bug fixing is always ongoing and not included here.

Excellent information. Do you have any information on Mech deployments?, Hero Mech deployments, community warefare? Clan Roll out? New Maps?, Other new game Modes?

Would like to see the long term product backlog in the raw if you could lol.

[KuruptU4Fun]

All that information is a quote, not a discussion. That information is subject to change...

[Xeven]

Never mind I see you posted Features after I posted this!

Great information bryan! Keep us updated and you get less ****storm here. At least the community have information to argue with.

Please try to provide the stuff missing: Alternative Maps, Weapon Balancing, "Knock Back" State, detailed information how 8vs8 will be restricted to prevent the situation only few mechs are valueable to use.

I like the new format. More info and a status update.
Exactly what the doctor ordered!!!

[Skylen]

honestly about time.
they should know what being kept in the dark does to hardcore fanatics.

Completely useless because its incomplete. What about new maps?`Vanity items? New Mechs? A third gamemode (the dropship one) and community warfare? What about Netcode fixes?

Please complete the upcoming features posts. Or arent they working on those right now?
