Hey everyone,

There is a bug with choosing a game mode, where if you choose 'ANY', you will not be awarded with conquest resource rewards.

We will be hotfixing this as soon as we have it nailed down. We will update you as soon as we have a fix ready.

Until then, if you choose Conquest or Assault specifically, you will be rewarded correctly.

Thanks everyone, and we'll see you on the battlefield!

Cheers,
The MechWarrior Online Team

EDIT: We have a fix for this, but will need to have the servers down for one extra hour to upload it. This means patching will complete at 2PM PST.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

well, at least they are forcing us to make up our mind on something already.

Fix this before releasing the patch if somehow possible! A delayed start is way better than a bad start. This is true for all products in commercial environments or sth like that. Was gaming during that lesson

I know, right?

Good thing this is still a Beta release. Its also good thateveryone understands that bugs and broken stuff is part of the deal for being able to play (regardless of money you paid).


*edit*
PGI, thanks for the new game mode!

While agree with you, the forums will explode if they delay the patch. Of course they will explode if the patch has a bug in it as well. And then they will explode AGAIN when the game goes down to fix it. And will most likely explode yet again when another bug comes up.

I feel sorry for the Devs. They can't win for losing.

OH NOES I HAVE TO PICK THE MODE I WILL MOST LIKELY SPAM TO GET AWAY FROM MONTHS OF ASSAULT RATHER THAN CHOOSE RANDOM.

I'm happy we have a new game mode, who cares if i can't pick random yet...

A bad start would be delaying an entire new game mode over this one minor hiccup...they don't even have the problem figured out yet, they would have to delay the game for a day at least...a hotfix for this is fine with me...I'll be clicking on Conquest all night anyway...

U can just remove "any" button until you find what is wrong.

DELAY IS NO OPTION ;D

I love it when you guys are fast and open with us. Kuddos.

[Tempests Wrath]

That was a precognitive catch of a bug.. I am actively impressed.

As far as I can imagine the game mode Assault strongly favors assault mechs with heavy ECM cover (at least in 8 vs 8). Conquest may favor faster more versatile mechs than assault mechs. What comes to my mind is a potential bias in matchmaking if one chooses “any”. In this case one cannot tailor the group to either mode. However if another group is tailored to a specific mission type and choses to fight in exactly this mission type, this group most probably has a distinct advantage over a group than choses “any” mission type. I hope matchmaking makes sure that only groups play against each other that both chose “any”.

Eh this isn't bad, an option doesn't work but the work around is easy... as long as people not on the forums all the time see it (or they fix it fast enough). Thinking this type of stuff should get a news channel in client.

Honestly can't think of many games where I even pick "random". It's a nice casual option but I never miss having it.

Just check or yourself with this handy Tool [FLASH WARNING]

[Elizander]

Can you at least edit the text from ANY to "BUGGED" or "DISABLED" before going up?

Edit:

A lot of people don't read forums, announcements, or anything.
