All the noted additions and changes look great. Looking forward to playing it, and in particular being able to buy colors/schemes as permanent unlocks for a mech. I run my catapults enough that I'll actually buy some as permanent unlocks.

Still waiting on the ECM changes, PUG matches are still suffering hard hits to enjoyability, both from (ab)using it and fighting against it w/o your own.

Great big patch = issues!

Just keep that in mind when things go wrong!

I'm looking forward to 12 v 12 and all the goodies!

BattleMechs will start to receive quirks, starting with the Awesome. These quirks come in the form of small adjustments to rotation, movement, and other mech stats. Each variant will now feel a little different.

So does that mean i have to Re-Roll my Mech if i get these Quirks?
Toughness= -10
LockTime= -6
Range= +5
Heat= +9

I'm working an 18 hour today on the hopes that I can get home and play some of this tomorrow.

As for the quirks, knowing my luck, my mech will end up with the 1 point quirk "Attracts Squirrels"

I love the fact that all the naysayers are getting the door slammed in their face by the more patient playerbase. +1 PGI for having the serenity not to reply to those who are quick to point out the flaws and none of the strengths. Keep em coming!

Hey, now, we're not slamming doors in anyone's faces... all we're doing is slowly peeling back the layers of the Armageddon Onion.

I'm still waiting for the Official Dev Update that refutes people's claim that Community Warfare is just a myth created in order to sponge money off people ...

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...

well sure id like more maps,, dropship mutator<4 mech respawn> more mechs, more command.. persistent map gains through community warfare....
but..
Its all about the combat anyways..
Your team, my team.. Fight..
Thats all i need.. ever..

Hell i could drop 1000 times with my spider and never be bored... Ever..

Outstanding Post and i am vary happy to see the change to 30 day updates No more roller coaster ones a week and getting hit with disappointment when the update gets push back a week or tow.

Cant what for the 12 on 12 setup that's going to be a blast playing full Mech company of 3 lance a team.

Will looks like my Raging days are coming to a end now and I must say I will be vary grateful for that.

[Thirdstar]

Interesting update and I'm looking forward to the 19th patch with great enthusiasm.

Alpine Peaks

Players will be able to employ a variety of new strategies due to the large scale. Scouts and fast mechs will have an advantage, being able to cross terrain quickly. Long range builds will also enjoy the ability to hang back and launch barrages from a safe distance. Teamwork will take on a new meaning, with balanced lances dominating the field of battle. This massive map will take advantage of the upcoming 12 v 12 player support, expected to arrive sometime in April.

I was wondering about this bit though, does this mean that Alpine is due soon or in April or that 12 vs 12 is due in April, or that both are to be released together.

[Butane9000]

Now if only you'd announce mechs on schedule.

[Eddrick]

I think this one has something for everyone.

My personal favorite is the "Tuning" changes.

Keep up the good work!

[DragonsFire24SS]

I hope 4fps is fixed lol.... other than that, I can't wait to play alpine peak tomorrow after work!!!

[Dr Killinger]

[Adrienne Vorton]
