2013 February Developer Update

February is upon us and we have a full slate of new content, features, bug fixes, and performance improvements ready to go live! First off, MechWarrior Online will be moving to a semi-monthly patch schedule. Now that we have achieved a minimum quality level in both performance and balance, our goal moving forward is to maintain the current integrity of the product and not regress. In order to facilitate success, PGI and IGP felt it best to reduce the frequency of patches, but not the amount of content. Instead of smaller weekly patches, players will enjoy the same amount of content presented in two major patches.

Now onto the good stuff.

Mech of the Month – Trebuchet
Hero Mech of the Month – Pretty Baby
New patterns, including the Tiger Pattern for all BattleMechs.
New cockpit items, including some limited time Year of the Snake (Monkey) content.

Alpine Peaks

Players will be able to employ a variety of new strategies due to the large scale. Scouts and fast mechs will have an advantage, being able to cross terrain quickly. Long range builds will also enjoy the ability to hang back and launch barrages from a safe distance. Teamwork will take on a new meaning, with balanced lances dominating the field of battle. This massive map will take advantage of the upcoming 12 v 12 player support, expected to arrive sometime in April.
In-Game Screen Overhaul

Pre-Round Screen, Scoreboard, Death Screen, and The End of Round Summary have all been completely overhauled. Each screen now contains more information about your team, the state of the game, why you died, and match statistics.

Matchmaking Phase 3

Phase 3 goes live behind the scenes on February 5th. Players will not see any difference in matchmaking immediately during this first deployment. We are running a series of final tests, along with pre-seeding player’s ELO scores. If everything goes well, and no technical issues are uncovered, we plan to switch the current matchmaking system over on February 19th. Once online, the new matchmaker will undergo several tuning passes as we collect data.
Changes to MechLab UI

The most notable change coming in the February 19th patch – merging of the Upgrades Tab into Loadout. Players will now be able to see the full impact of swapping in Double Heat Sink, Artemis, and Ferro Fiberous Armor upgrades before committing to a purchase. Along with the merger, we have added item details (finally!).
Camo Spec Phase 2

On February 5th, players will have the ability to permanently unlock patterns for MC, and permanently unlock colours for C-Bills or MC! This planned update offers more value and additional options for players, especially those collectors out there. We will be processing a refund of all MC purchased on Colours and Patterns since Camo Spec came online in November! Enjoy! All player BattleMechs will also be reset to the default pattern and basic green colour.
Performance

With the February 5th patch, many players will see a significant increase in performance, especially on the lower end of system specs.

Tuning

Lots of tuning is going into both February patches, here are some of the more notable items:

Heat adjustments have been made to ER/Large Pulse Lasers and PPCs.
BattleMechs will start to receive quirks, starting with the Awesome. These quirks come in the form small adjustments to rotation, movement, and other mech stats. Each variant will now feel a little different.
Jump jets received a slight overhaul to improve trajectories.

March is set to be a great month for new users. That's it for now. Until next month!

Change Log

UPDATE

Greetings MechWarriors.

I am going to keep this intro short and sweet because you should really be playing the game. If you are currently at work, I would start acting sick, because you should really be at home downloading this patch with BIG FPS IMPROVEMENTS! Now repeat after me “I don’t feel so good… Cough, Cough”.

Pretty Baby is Awesome, Literally. This lore based Hero Mech strikes fear with a paint job that screams ”I’m going to destroy you”. Read on in the patch notes for the hard points and start dreaming of OP builds to make your enemy QQ.

Visual Customization, was revamped, reset and refunded. We have updated the camo/paint job purchase system so you can now choose to permanently unlock skins. We also have over 100 unlockable colors. To celebrate we're having a sale so get the colors while they are hot. See this post here for more details. http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/95728-camo-spec-phase-2/

All New In Game Screens! More information, More Chat, More Screens! I have never been more excited to die and see the super informative death screen. You now have time to chat at the end of a game and say GG!

Are you still reading? I was trying to keep this short so I am just going to rush through the rest of this list.

Tiger Camo Pattern! Year of the Snake Cockpit items! Weapon Tuning! Jump Jet tuning! Awesome Variant Tweaks!

NOTE: For the Camo Spec Revamp, all your Camo's have been reset to the default pattern and default colors and all users have been given back any MC or CBills they have spent buying patters and colors.

See you on the Battlefield.

Matt Newman

"Override Engaged" Visual + Audio + Gameplay Tuning

- When engaging override shutdown, a visual will flash on the screen “OVERRIDE ENGAGED”
- Betty will also alert you when override has been engaged
- If you manually power down while over 100% heat, you will remain powered down until you manually power up
- While in the middle of a power up/down sequence, you can press P to queue up the command to perform the opposite sequence
- It's also worth reviewing how the override and automatic shutdown system works, including the most recent changes:
- At any time you can press P to power your Mech on/off
- Each time you press P, there is a 0.75 sec cooldown before any additional presses of P are recognized; this is to help prevent people who constantly spam the P key from continually powering up and down
- If you press P while in the process of powering on or off, you will queue up a command to perform the opposite sequence once the current sequence is complete
- If your heat level reaches 100%, your Mech will automatically power down; it will automatically power back up again when your heat level drops below 100%
- Your Mech can be manually powered up again after an automatic shutdown by pressing P
- If you press O, you will command your Mech to override the automatic shutdown
- When O is pressed, Betty will alert you that override has been activated, an override warning will flash on your HUD, and it starts a 5 second timer during which, if your heat reaches 100%, the automatic shutdown is ignored. (Note: Even after the 5 seconds have passed, your Mech will not automatically shutdown if you are over 100% heat.)
- Each time you press O, you reset the 5 second timer
- You can manually power down after overriding the automatic shutdown by pressing P, however you will not automatically power back up when your heat drops below 100% (though you will know this has happened when your screen stops flashing red)
- If you remain powered up while over 100% heat, you will take damage to your internal structure

- Set ECM health to 3

End of Round Screen

- Chat enabled
- Tabbed screens showing players information and players results ( kills, cbills + exp )
- Match score will be displayed for all players:
- Match Score is an early ranking system for the End of Round screen only. This number will be later worked into or made part of Combat Score which will be your global ranking. For now it's just a handy way to rank players in a match. It is subject to tuning in the near future.

Camo Spec Phase 2

- Patterns can now be unlocked permanently or applied once.
- Each pattern unlock is valid of only one mech type.
- Example: You can unlock the Dazzle pattern for the Atlas and all it's variants.
- Once a pattern is unlocked, you can no longer purchase/apply a single use version of that pattern, for the mech type you bought it for..
- Colors are now unlocked permanently when purchased.
- Special patterns such as Phranken will automatically apply appropriate colors and add the cost to your purchase price. You can chose not to buy the colors by going to the color tab and resetting the colors to a default green, or unlocked color.

Performance:

- Optimization to Mech Animations.
- Optimization to the HUD.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed issues with mech power system ( Powering up/down a mech during overheating ) .
- Fixed assessment of multi-rank pilot efficiencies
- Various Front-end related aesthetics issues
- TAG/NARC CBills and XP bonus will no longer be incorrectly given with friendly fire
- Laser( Traceweapons ) impact decals now correctly align to terrain

- Camera shake will now correctly occur when taking damage from laser and ballistic weapons at the same time
- Advanced zoom will automatically turn off on death

How big is big?


Most specific comment we've seen from the devs is that both the Alpine and Desert maps will be "2+ times as big as Caustic Valley"



Larger maps are coming. Alpine and Desert are both 2+x the size of caustic. So fret not.

Over 2x the entire map size of caustic I'd wager. Let's just say A1's have a pretty rough first drop ;)

http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/95880-l...ost__p__1844340

Ich erkläre das mit dem Netcode noch mal gerne. Aber zuerst sollte erwähnt werden, dass der vorletzte Patch schon ordentlich geholfen hat, um Lights zu zerstören, wenn man jetzt nicht gerade einen Stalker hat.

Für den Netcode möchte man einen Senior Programmer einstellen. der den dann verbessert. Dieser wurde immer noch nicht gefunden, was man daran feststellen kann, dass man sich bei Piranha immer noch als Senior Programmer Network Communincations bewerben kann. Selbst wenn Piranha jetzt, heute, endlich einen gefunden hätte, würde dieser 2 bis 3 Monate brauchen um sich einzuarbeiten und den Netcode etwas zu bereinigen. Ergo, der Netcode wird in 3 Monaten gefixt, wenn man jetzt einen Programmierer hätte. Hat man aber nicht. Also 3 Monate + X

Und X kann ein groooooßer Zeitraum sein. Wie ich schonmal erklärte, gibt es in der Montreal Region ungefähr soviele freie Programmierer, wie Wasser aufm Mond.

Habt ihr auch son harten FPS Boost bekommen ?

Habe gestern mal 'ne Stunde gespielt.
Fühlte sich ganz gut an.
Auf die FPS habe ich nicht geachtet, mache ich nächstes Mal.

Hatte die Ankündigung für den Februar nicht richtig gelesen (mein Gehirn hat mich das anders verstehen lassen, als es geschrieben steht).
Und natürlich schon Phase 3 und Alpine erwartet -.-

Aber ansonsten war es ganz ok.
