Gameplay

15% of critical damage dealt to an exposed 'Mech component will now be directly applied to the internal structure of that component.

This is only applied to the critical damage done. Base weapon damage is not taken into account.
Critical damage is not applied through armor.
Armor must be reduced to 0% before any crit damage is applied to internals.
Large Pulse Laser duration reduced to 0.6 (down from 0.75)
Medium Pulse Laser duration reduced to 0.6 (down from 0.75)
ER Large Laser base heat reduced to 8.5 (down from 9.5)
PPC base heat increased to 9.0 (up from 8.0)
ERPPC base heat increased to 12.0 (up from 11.0)
SRM6 and 4 have a shared Max Alpha of 3. (SRM4s used to have a 4 threshold)

12v12 gameplay is now in.

The 8-man queue is now replaced by a 12-man queue.
Players can launch in groups of 1,2,3,4,12. Numbers between 4-12 will be addressed when we get tonnage limits into the game.
CB rewards have been adjusted to compensate for the additional 4 players on the battlefield.
Assault mode base captures now take longer.
Conquest point captures now take longer.
Players should be aware that capping in Conquest mode takes longer now, and that it is often wise to pre-plan your routes to account for that.

Performance

Created low and medium spec optimized versions of weapon effects.
Removed ground level vegetation and debris in Forest Colony and Forest Colony Snow for low spec.

Bug Fixes

Added missing LOD's to Quickdraw Battlemech.
Added missing LOD's to Highlander Battlemech.

General

First Victory of the Day

The first time of each day you win a match for each 'Mech variant (owned or trial), you will earn double the XP rewards at the end of the match
If one of your Mechs is eligible for the first victory bonus, it will be marked with an "XP x2" icon in its Mech Bay
Once you earn a first victory bonus with a 'Mech, you can't earn the bonus again for that 'Mech until the eligibility resets at 12:00 AM UTC

We thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

12vs12 ist aufjeden Fall mal eine Anstrengung für meine Graka. Hab nur noch 20- max 29 Fps von vorher 30 - 40. Mal schauen ob ich da irgendwie nochwas an Leistung raushole.

Ich rüste jetzt garnix auf. In nem Jahr für SC, und auch erst dann. Wenn die MWO in der Zwischenzeit für mich unspielbar patchen, dann sollnse das tun. (Momentan bin ich im durchschnitt auf 18-27 fps je nach Karte)

tja... ich weiss noch nciht mal ob ich für SC aufrüsten muss ^^ :-D

habe kein unterschied bemerkt bei 12v12 zu 8v8 - nur zuviele ziele, zuwenig munition .... naja macht jedenfall spass ^^

@askat: achso, ok LoL spiel ich ned - hab da kein schimmer von
