Однако, 29 апреля похоже будут приватные матчи. Ура, товарищи

[Acid Megatron]

Скорее всего, следующим героиком может стать либо Quickdraw либо Blackjack
Сообществу предлагается поучавствовать.

PGI is wanting to utilize community feedback on future Hero Designs. They have allowed me to ask around, directly to YOU the community members! To begin this process your task will be to design a 'Hero Quickdraw' battlemech. I will be collecting the builds and presenting them to PGI directly, as they want to tap into the huge resource that is the active community.

So this is your task at hand, to design a 'Hero Quickdraw' that you would like to see PGI come out with. Please provide an explanation of why you picked said loadout. You can also provide extra information, such as torso twist speed, acceleration etc...

Знает кто-нибудь, существуют ли эти "уникальные" машины по бэку?

Пара из Блэкджек и Куикдро?
Вспомнился рассказ с бэттлкорпса.

Кстати,

This Friday April 4th at 10am PDT we will be having a short server downtime expected to last less than 2 hours.

The MechWarrior Online game client will not be available for this period, and our forums will be read-only for the duration of the maintenance.

Downtime this week has contributed to a more robust backend and will further increase our ability to support more users and game content moving forward.

Сегодня в 21-00 по МСК (если я не перепутал) отключат сервер на обслуживание. Примерно на 2 часа.

REGARDING THE LAUNCH MODULE AND TEAM SIZES.

With the upcoming Launch Module, there are still questions on whether or not we will be dealing with group sizes that are over 4 and under 12. As already mentioned in the previous design update for the Launch Module, those group sizes created a rift in how teams are balanced and having to try to determine an arbitrary number of players we would consider over powered in the public queue.

We have stated that 5-11 man teams will not be supported for the Launch Module and we are not changing that. However, it does not mean that the 5-11 man conundrum was dumped off the plate and into the trash. It meant that we do not have the resources at this moment to get the Launch Module out on time and include a special rule set for odd number 5-11 man groups. As the numbers indicated in the previous post showed, group launches, no matter what size, were always going to be a smaller subset of the overall game population.

Our design goal then became to ensure a much more even team build for the public matches and to add the private match lobby system for the competitive crowd. Even with that distinction, we added additional functionality in the private match lobby to somewhat address the needs for smaller group launches as well. It does not directly fix the issue of 5-11 man groups, but it does let them have SOME kind of option to play the way they want to play.

We have in our backburner an idea for the Group Only queue. This system will allow groups of any size match against each other. It would probably replace the current 12-man public queue. The problem areas come around the groups that are 11 in size. There will not be single player groups to fill that 12th slot so the Lobby is now soft locked and players will not be able to launch. Some of you may suggest that allowing solo players the ability to drop into the group queue would be the solution. A solo player would have MUCH greater success at winning in the regular public match than up against teams.

This leaves us with yet more restrictions: the Grouping interface cannot allow teams of 11 players, the Match Maker cannot create groups of 11 players (5+6, 4+7, 3+8, 9+2, 5+2+4, etc). An additional problem that arises is the exact tonnage matching that happens in the public queue. We will not know what Mechs players are bringing to the lobby. The 3/3/3/3 rule still works but we cannot ask the Match Maker to match exact tonnage per weight class when players are already in a lobby.

Now that you know some of the edge cases, let’s look at what we can do, but you need to keep in mind these problem areas.

Public/Single Player Queue
Solo players
2-4 man groups. 1 group per team as it is now.
Group Queue
Allows 2-10 man groups.
Groups can only play against other groups.
No solo players.
Match Maker will not make a team of 11 players
Probability of longer wait times for teams to be built.
Cannot incorporate exact tonnage matching like the other queues.
Private Matches
2-24 players by invite only.
Can set game options/restrictions.
Used for competitive X vs Y players
Now that you see what is planned and the edge cases surrounding implementation of a group only queue, we’re still deciding when this important feature would fit into our development schedule.

As per usual..

Еще было бы указано время по Москве, и цены бы не было переводу!!!

[Mr Nikson]

No Opt-in required - как я понимаю, регистрация не требуется. В отличие, например от эвента с обязательной регистрацией, типа этого

Про перевод четвертого блока (про паттерны и цвета для фениксов), по моему понятней так:

И не забудьте что, до Субботы 19 апреля Fractal, Buccaneer and Hotrod схемы для мехов проекта Феникс на 30% дешевле их обычной цены, а цвета Buccaneer and Hotrod продаются со скидкой 50%!

[Loiso_Pondohva]

DeJaVu
готово!
Mr Nikson
Логично. Поправил.

[flekrad]

Предлагаю MechBay переводить как "Место в ангаре", а не МехСлот.

[Acid Megatron]

@russ_bullock Had a couple public matches tonight close to 3/3/3/3. Lots of fun. Looking forward to 4/29.

Это нам говорит, что балансер 3/3/3/3 будет запущен 29 апреля, вместе с приватными матчами.

[DeJaVu]

RT @russ_bullock: So on SRM and hit detection - Yes we saw a decent improvement with the 15th patch. Yes we have another improvement coming for the 29th.
