Well, I suppose this review could have gone out a week ago, but I wanted a moment to stew in the big sale that went on. A lot of hero mech's were 50% off this week, and I scored an Ilya Muromets in addition to the Pretty Baby you see above. However, there weren't a lot of other highlights from the week, especially in the Patch Notes. We'll make this one short and sweet, and then regular posting will resume.
First, new Phoenix variants. Neat, but these don't really tickle my fancy and honestly, no one has been raving about it in-game. Is one of the new 'mechs your favorite? If so, leave us some comments below and let us know why it stands out to you.
A lot of sales went up this week, and now you can buy C-Bill packages for MC. These also don't tickle me very much, because they seem vastly overpriced. It doesn't take much time to make a million C-Bills.
In weapon balancing news, AC/2, AC/5 and UAC/5 (as well as SRM4) have been nerfed. It's not much, and it's not really noticable. SRM2's get a small rate of fire increase as well. Again, very minor.
Numerous peformance fixes and bug fixes seem to have dominated the dev team's time this month. However, numerous known issues arise to replace them, though I will say it's nice to see that fewer are growing back. My own experience in-game tells a different story.
The team is doing great, and we love the game. Don't take my critique in the past few Patch Reviews spoil it for you - the game is doing great and we're having a lot of fun with it. Just don't expect us not to voice our opinion. MWO gets 99% of my online gaming time, and I'm happy to give it. You guys in the Gatekeepers are to coolest bunch of mech-jockeys this side of Tikonov, that's for sure. Keep it up, and we'll see you in-game!
