Thank you for starting to add quirks to mechs. Mech differentiation is vital to MW and the AWS certainly needs it - the Centurion could probably use something too hint hint

I wonder if some teams might actually stop sync-dropping after tomorrow's patch as it would set their Elo rating far higher than their skills could support in a fair fight. They would get placed against teams they had no chance of defeating when the matchmaker update starts using those Elo ratings.

I suspect lots of these sync-dropping teams will choose to farm which will provide some very easy targets for those who actually managed to get a high rating based on skill rather than exploits.

Sounds great! If only you would properly balance ECM then everything would be perfect.

Very nice update. These kind of posts always please me even tough the post just announces stuff.

[Slater01]

Great stuff. but . . . you know . . that stuff everyone is talking about? ecm balance, match making options?

Wonder how much MC I'm getting back due to the paint jobs, and how much more I'll spend to unlock it all.

Loving all the updates, bigger map is very welcome.

I've noticed that you all have a lot of information out there but it has been hard to find. Myself, and Clan Diamond Shark, appreciate the move in sharing more information here.I hope this moves to keep the griping and complaining and negativity down to a minimum.

Probably not. Maybe? We'll know in a day or so.

Any chance we can some teaser photo of Alphine Peaks or some teaser video clip showing us height or something.

I looking forward to those changes coming in.

I may be reading too much into some of the replies, but I want to make sure you all understand, EVERYTHING on that list is NOT in the next patch. A lot of it is, a some of it isn't. It's a road map for February and dates are included where possible.

[Tenam]

Lovin the updates all very exciting! ... Just added MC to buy some Paints and Patterns.

Praise be! I so disagree with sync dropping. Give the 8 mans a chance. If you get stomped, use it as an opportunity to grow. Be a better pilot. I get the desire to fight against one another but we know that's not the goal.

I remember when they took away the 8 mans and people were so hungry for them to return... and now that they have... but that's now showing the difference between what a Pre-Made actually is (units working together) verses the universal PUGs (coms or no coms).

As long as necessary.

The game is a beta and a work in progress and I,for one, am so tired of hearing about ECM balance. It, like everything else, is evolving. Grow with it or die.

Most of what is actually listed to be included in the upcoming patch can be seen in my What To Expect thread: http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__1839155

Many key items have been announced for later in the month

[Dale]

Really liking this new format, especially over the previous Upcoming Features and Upcoming Content posts. It's extremely nice of you all to provide us with this and is really nice to get this level of detail. Thanks PGI!

[Coolant]

hmm, so nothing that significantly changes gameplay tommorrow...been a long time since any signicant content except mechs and camo's. Hopefully there will be some surprises in the patch notes tommorrow. Even the new Alpine map this month just means we'll still have to play the same maps 8 out of 9 times on average. PGI, there needs to be things to work for! Make XP and Cbills worth something cause combat is the same over and over...
