PATCH #29
Upcoming Patch - Tuesday, September 9th @ 10AM @ 1PM PDT
Patch Number: 1.3.323
Change Log
Greetings MechWarriors,
Today, we are introducing a major change to our UI. Moving forward, the ALL chat channel in game will be filtered by default and only available once opted-in.
Lance and Team chat remain on by default, though the option to filter these under settings has also been included.
AMS and ECM are being provided with a toggle, a frequent request by members of our community. Also, Weapon Modules have been broken down into categories for more organization.
Weapon visual customization has been retro-fitted onto Raven variants, meaning that they will now be as adaptive as many others when changing their loadout.
We also have some new Mech content for players: Sparky, the Hero Griffin Mech, has arrived to the battlefield; along with the Champion Quickdraw QKD-4G(C).
You can find out more about these and the rest of the changes coming today in the notes below.
See you on the battlefield!
