Hi All

I hadn't played this game for a while as I was waiting for the faction warfare before coming back, but I was bored, and seen as there are no more xp resets I thought I would give it another shot and have been enjoying myself since, especially as there is now better balance around LRMs.

Couple of questions:

Are there any euro servers? Have I missed the boat with transferring over or something? I'm pinging over 100 which carries a bit of a disadvantage during gameplay.

Liking the new mechs that have been added, but are the maps still just Caustic/Forest/Ice/River City?

If I buy the decorative urbanmech, does it apply to all mechs or just 1?


Some bits of feedback for what its worth:

Seems really easy to damage legs for no reason other than bumping into something.

Why no Solaris deathmatch/team deathmatch mode? It would actually be suitable for the game at the moment considering that both assault and c&h are effectively playing out as team deathmatch as it is.

I would like to be able to store loadouts, and be able to switch mech loadout during a warmup phase in the map, based on what that map is, its somewhat boring to be punted into caustic valley as a laser boat for example.

How about some maps that mess slightly with gravity? Say a lunar map or something.

Quickresponse round go!

No Euro servers.

4 basic maps, but there's a version of Frozen City at night that ISNT all blizzardy (PURDY SKY FX TOO), a Forest Colony with snow, and a Night version of River City. Some tweaks and additions to the basic maps as well. Supposedly a much bigger desert map in the works but not sure how far off that is.

Buying cockpit items are a single item like a piece of regular mech kit, you have to unequip it to put it in another cockpit.

TDM needs to be added sooner than later, because the TDM dudes are jonesing hardcore and freaking out all over the place. They need this badly.

Edit: DO NOT BUY THE PAINT IF YOU ARE INDECISIVE. Painting your mech works like actual paint, if you pick a new scheme, the old one is painted over, not saved.

No other servers besides the terrible ones in Toronto.

Forest Colony Alternate (Snow), Frozen City Alternate (Night), River City Alternate (Night)

You can move bobbleheads, etc. from mech to mech in the mechlab.

Yep. Especially on lighter mechs.

PGI isn't very good at developing or balancing different game modes at this point of the "BETA" phase.

These options may or may not be available to players many months from now. PGI is not very good at developing options for the front end UI. I wouldn't hold your breath.

I doubt that the map makers at PGI know how to do this with Cryengine yet.

Also, game balance is thrown out the window every 2 weeks or so.

I would suggest not buying that high priced decorative urbie, because it sets a standard of what people are willing o buy.

If you must have it, by all means, but MC costs for a variety of things are totally out of whack.
