We've added the #MWO Boar's Head + Patch Notes to the site

[size=14pt]PATCH NOTES

We have also added the BOAR'S HEAD to the Mech Build section and allowed voting on it so as soon as Smurfy has it installed you will be able to post your Boar's Head builds!

 

Yay! In a few months I am going to get a new atlas I hope (waiting for the discount)

And yay for new map!!!!!

Yay for UAC5, seems to be balancing out the nerf.
AND FINALLY, THE OLD MECH MODEL UPDATE!!! (thouth ther shorted out on the founders yet again.)

 

UAC/5 ammunition per ton now matches the AC/5 at 30 rounds per ton.

 

interesting Patch!

im excited to test the new map. At least we have a positive surprise on this. I hope it is better than the Mordor.Map.

Looks like the devs listen to the community about the trial mechs. We can expect to see several trial Champions in the next few patches.

Hmmpf, so who decides to play the Commander?? About the Ready Button, nice to boost up Launch, but it can be ugly, if this slows down the Launch-time!

Thrust on take off seems to be viable, but not being able to change the trajectory in the air - that's not so fine. :whacko:
UAC5.Ammo Rounds matching to the AC5 was predictable and somehow unavoidable. What's next? Adding a Jam-Chance to the AC5 to match both weapons completely???

Hmmmpf, though i like some Energy-Weapons in the Torso, i think with some build experiments, this new Atlas Hero may be viable at fast aggressive Brawls with some Laserweapons before losing the Arms respectively most of the Firepower. Let's see what we can get out of this.

In the meantime, i play some rounds LoL - today was Patchday as well with a major Visual/Animation Update of my main Bruiser.Champion!

 

Can we expect some better Hero.Mechs in the next Patch?

 

The jetpack thrust can make things like jenner and spider go REALLY REALLY fast. And it is reasonable to not be able to change direction mid flight, or I can forsee lots of flying jump fights.

 

New Trial 'Mechs.

Sorta wish they would remove the Atlas as a trial mech. I only PUG because I am so unloved and I cringe when I get in a match with a trial atlas. You just never know what you are going to get. Is the guy a veteran who will do well in any mech or is this his very first game and will stand around trying to figure out why his legs arent going the direction hes pointing.

 

Impossible because novice players start the game in 3rd person mode and... oh... wait... what?

 

It comes with Endo and a XL400 so loadouts will have to be tight on critical slots. After both of those, you only have 27 left. Any and all DHS outside the engine will be at a premium. Still, a 400 can carry six of them internally tho. Interesting, I think we will see people dumping Endo on quite a few builds. Or dropping the XL which is a liability. Who can say no to a 71 kph Atlas tho...eesh.. hear:

 

I'm wondering what you think about the devs now by loading an XL Engine in an Atlas with Hexa.MPLas for close range combat. A Bunch of idlots?

 

I don't know Blagg, XL in the Vic works pretty good but in a Atlas? I'm having some doubts. Maybe the XL400 turns out to be the magic number? Time will tell.

 

Okay...what was the point behind the ready button or was it just a way for trolls to hold up the match...which they have done in 2 of 3 drops

 

Errrrm... update took a half hour and now i get an Error every time i try to launch a match?



Am I the only one or does anybody else have the same problem?????

Im really pissed now that i can't test the new stuff :angry:

 

Second Maintenance, Blagg. Servers were up for about an hour, now down to maintenance again.

Hopefully people will catch on eventually. It's a new feature, I'm sure plenty of people just do not understand yet.

 

WTF???

GREAT

Finally could play a Round and.... it was FANTASTIC! 7 of them were Assaults! 7!? Great Matchmaking System..



Don't know if the Ready Button is viable enough. I hope it doesnt take much longer to launch a match. But hey, the Board's Head is great! One Alpha on his Sidetorso and he is gone!



Second Round with Michael and Cpt. and Verbosity.. Thx for the Quick Round. Was too easy but great new map.

Hope to play with you soon enough again.

That Ready Button.. don't know.. It did slow down the Launch, maybe some dudes still need to find out the new Button to press. But did we have a Team Commander??

I did some drops last night. Nothing spectacular. I haven't seen any UACs for several days now. I suspect they have nerfed them into uselessness again. Honestly, it seems like it's just wasted tonnage now.

Boar's Head doesn't seem to be any more spectacular than the regular Atlases. They die just as easily.
