New round of trial mechs? We've been on the current crop for 3 to 4 weeks now?

Yeah I agree.

Usually when a new mech comes out one variant of them shows up as a trial mech.

IF we get a rotation, I am betting a Spider shows up. Would be nice, BUT, because the Commando Hero is coming out (hopefully) we MIGHT get a Commando as a Trial. Interesting either way. I dont even have a guess as to the other classes.

The whole POINT of switching to bimonthly, long answer format is so they can address tough questions in a meaningful way.

I thought i read somewhere they were buffing the MG's tomorrow.

Macine gun buffs are planned. http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__1736825

however, nothing indicates they will be implemented this week, and all new items will have to pass through multiple testing stages before it gets released. MG buff will probable be another few patches away.

Thanks for your effort, i like to be up to Date, even if there isnt as much Information this week. Pls keep on,

[Sprouticus]

I too would LOVE to see an update to the dates in the feature and content roapmap. We have not had a REAL update since the holiday break.

Even if it is just an update to the dates, it would shut people up about PGI missing dates (even tentative dates).

[MaddMaxx]

Keep after it Redshift2k5. Sometimes the lack of info can also mean that the "whole" crew is working on the Game. If so, then that is better than reading about a bunch of maybe's and perhaps, while wondering why said person is spending/wasting that valuable time typing stuff up, should be doing in game stuff instead. LOL

A month without a Patch and no word, then perhaps raised eyebrows may be in order, but...

P.S. I totally forgot about the "I am entitled to..." crowd. My bad.

Can we expect the Death Knell for release on the 22nd? Will it be around the 5000mc mark to buy?

[Eiki]

I wonder if we will get other AC ammo next year.

Someone mentioned Garth said in the NGNG that the patch would be delayed by 1 day

Yes, Garth mentioned this during the twitch event. It may be prudent to warn users in the OP that the possibility that the patch this week is on Wednesday, not Tuesday.

I guess there is the first ecm hotfix (phase 1).

Because most of the player base (including me) are completely confused by the current name Guardian ECM Suite it will be renamed to experimental ECM Suite 4-N-0085.

I think this is a very good first step and then we should be fully satisfied to wait for the next phase 2 in 3 month.

Alright alright alright I gotta log out for a little while now, 5 hours these days seems like 10 hours ECM time

But I got to thinking.. You don't suppose PGI // IGP is starving us for content so we go buy MW:Tactics while we wait do ya?

/sigh, the woes of a hermit.

[BLUPRNT]

No doubt I have missed these the last few times. Thanks for jumping back in on this. Always look forward to your post.

Death's Knell looks like a shoe-in for this week's patch. I estimate the cost at somewhere around 1500-2000.

The other Hero mechs seem to be calculated on a 75-MC-per-ton basis which leaves the DK at 1875 (but the 75 mc per ton seems inaccurate for the Ilya's cost)

[Pr8Dator]

Why does this "patch" feel like no patch at all... Devs were pretty impressive before the new year but has been nothing but disappointment after new year... what, most of you still on holiday????

Ilya comes with XL280 engine so I would guess the MC price is somehow converted from the C-bill cost of the variant and the equipment, plus something for the C-bill boost feature.

Speaking of that I think the DK came with DHS, which might make it's price close to the 2k mark.

A patch on my birthday? It is just what I wanted! =D

[PR1VATEER]

What about this stuff that was in our latest email:
