Been a while since I wrote one of these. Hope you all enjoyed the Double XP Weekend as much as I did! not much has been confirmed for this week's patch, but if more is announced today I'll keep this updated.

Some things to please bear in mind:

Patch delayed until Wednesday Jan 23 http://mwomercs.com/...-moved-to-23rd/

Server downtime should begin around Wednesday 10 am PST (1pm EST, 6 pm GMT)

Server downtime typically lasts about 2-3 hours. Forums will be down/unstable during this downtime. You may not be able to login.

Patch deployment comes after the downtime (approx 1pm PST, 4 pm EST, 9pm GMT)

Patch notes are typically not delivered until the patch deployment phase.

Patch Notes will be available here when they are ready:

stick it up please

[Bguk]

Aha, it was you! I forgot who did this. Thank you sir.

Also may want to include matchmaker phase 3 for the unconfirmed. Only information on this has been the features roadmap which still states mid January.

Honestly I find it so unlikely that MM Phase 3 is ready I intentionally skipped it. Hence my previous topic over the weekend requesting new dates for the Feature/Content Roadmap! No command chair update, no dev comments hidden away in the forum, nada.

With no update to indicate it's "almost ready", I'd prefer people to be surprised rather than dissapointed.

[Apoc1138]

I'm not expecting anything big this patch
I'm hoping for MM phase 3 along with the new end of round page, but other than that we know it's going to be at least Feb before we get a new map or anything like that

[Congzilla]

The lack of updates to the content / feature road maps and a lack of any new dev blogs has been very disappointing.

[Navid A1]

honestly, i dont expect anything but the death's knell
there will be no fix guys... nothing.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

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

[Taizan]

Redshift - was already missing that "What to expect" topic - the few items and questionable slots listed imo show a serious lack of information & clear communication. With many little tidbits floating around in the forums, Reddit and the newsletter, no recent updates to the command chair and the focus of the devs on major underlying issues in the foundation of the game, it seems many are lost on how the game is going to progress.

Its not directly related to the patch, but shouldn't Monday also be the day where the 5 hand-picked "Ask the devs" questions shall be answered?

[RainbowToh]

I applaud you for your efforts But I kinda get the feeling you just cant wait for the patch to come and therefore need not to speculate anything?

Keep up the good work though

[Butane9000]

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

[Corvus Antaka]

Something cool.

[Phalanx100bc]

I'm a really big fan of this game and have up to date bought about $90-100 in MC's to help support the cause.

The lack of clear and accurate communication on patches and other minutiae seems only to lead to speculation, cynicism and the letdowns from wishful thinking.

My purpose is not to speculate but to educate. There is a great deal more I could speculate on but I'm refraining.

Some players don't know when to expect a patch during the day (seeing this less and less, but we also have new players coming all the time!) and in some previous weeks there were lots and lots of items to talk about spread out over lots and lots of dev posts, so putting it all in one spot was a servicemany forum users enjoyed. This week, not so much.

More Trials would be nice.

He answered better than I did.

Thank you I know I'll be back and look forward to updates! I'm certain we'll get a grand slam here or there

You know? If I could just rename units, and maybe get the UI updated, I could get through the month …
