Greetings MechWarriors!

Before we begin this week's patch, we would just like to take a moment once more to thank everyone who helped us out throughout the data center migration process.

Whether you were testing out the new features in Public Test, informing fellow-players of the event, monitoring the website, or are involved in providing feedback for our continuing efforts to improve connectivity in various regions of the world, or whether you were simply leaving us well-wishes throughout the process, we grateful for you.

This week's patch will be a bit softer than usual as a result of both that maintenance and the Labour day weekend: We are making all Camo Specs available for both the Clan Mechs as well as the Vindicator and introducing a few Clan weapon balance changes. We are especially eager to hear about whether our bug fixes have resolved memory allocation errors for players encountering the 3-GB Barrier issue on 32-bit systems, an issue triggered by our continuing efforts to improve the visual appeal of our newest maps.

We are also excited for the first ever Lance Challenge, which we hope will combine the best aspects of previous challenges with the added benefit of focusing on the Group queue.
This challenge will be available once the patch has completed. We hope to see you on the battlefield for this event!

So within a few patches all the weapons will be the same? lol

Michael · Sep 5, 2014

Well now that more and more clan mechs are coming available for Cbills they are nerfing them because now anyone buying them can do so without a real dollar cost. Transparent cash grab is transparent.
