Greetings MechWarriors
Top 10 Awesome things in this patch. #inmyopinion
Number 10. Visual bug Fixes – Bye Bye Flickering terrain! #thatisbetter
Number 9. Performance Improvements! We’ve been hard at work optimizing the code so 12 v 12 won’t hurt your frames as much. #cantwaitfor12vs12
Number 8. The Victor is available for C-bills now! Those with mech bays and fat C-bill accounts are recommended to purchase this ‘Mech immediately. #greatmech
Number 7. Victor Customization – Now that you own a Victor, it’s time to customize your mech. I recommend Buccaneer! #lookinggood

Number 4. Testing Ground Map Selection - Finally you can pick which map you're testing your mech in! #choices

Gameplay
Heat Scale Addition
Heat scale has been added to certain weapon systems. This is a heat penalty applied to weapons that are fired in an Alpha Strike manner. The following chart shows the MAXIMUM number of that weapon type that you can fire at the same time with no heat penalty.
Weapon System Max No-Heat Penalty Alpha Scale Multiplier
PPC 2 7.0
ERPPC 2 4.5
ML 6 1.0
LL 2 2.8
AC/20 1 24.0
SSRM 4 1.0
SRM2 4 1.0
SRM4 4 1.0
SRM6 3 1.0
LRM15 2 2.8
Maximum Heat Threshold You will now take internal damage at 100+% heat. Reduced from 120% SRM Damage Buff SRM damage increased from 1.5 to 2.0 (Note: This is for SRMs only, not SSRMs) Streak Missile Changes Streak missiles will now target limbs more directly instead of near the joints. There are now 7 distinct locations a streak can target, the locations have been placed in the arms, legs, and left/right/center torso. The current weighting for a mech with all it's components is as follows:
Component %
Left Arm 15
Right Arm 15
Left Leg 15
Right Leg 15
Left Torso 12
Right Torso 12
Center Torso 16
TOTAL 100
As arms become destroyed, the weighting will be rebalanced proportionally. For example, if the right arm and or left arm of a target has been destroyed, the new weighting will be as follows:
Component % Component
%
Left Arm 18 {Left Arm} 0
{Right Arm} 0 {Right Arm} 0
Left Leg 18 Left Leg 24
Right Leg 18 Right Leg 24
Left Torso 13.8 Left Torso 15.6
Right Torso 13.8 Right Torso 15.6
Center Torso 18.4 Center Torso 20.8
TOTAL 100 TOTAL 100
Some other notes on the new streaks:
- Legs that are destroyed will still be targeted by streaks.
- If an arm is initially targeted but is destroyed before the streak connects, it will auto target the neighbouring torso piece instead.
Bug Fixes
- Improved terrain flickering on all maps.
- Fixed an issue where users who used a Saitek x52 joystick experienced dead zones.
- Fixed an issue when chain firing AC 5 where the fourth shot would be delayed even though users should have been able to fire.
- Artillery Strike and Airstrike will cause the camera to shake when 'Mech takes damage.
- If a user is zooming, in thermal vision or night vision while power down in testing grounds, the camera will reset to default.
- More optimization to bandwidth.
- Fixed an issue were Streaks rockets would appear to 'orbit' on client machines.
General
- Now clicking on "Testing Grounds" in the mode select menu will bring up a dialog that allows users to select what level they wish to play.
- Reduced cross-hair shake frequency while jump-jetting
- Certain cockpit items will now animate when you power down/power up your 'Mech.
- Catapult Founder has a new pattern, with this pattern comes the ability to color it as well.
We thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
