Launch surprises

Of only we could get a Phoenix Hawk.

 

I doubt we will se more then a new map unfortunately. :unsure:

But I'll be on NGNG TS3 and in our discussion room tonight, gaming and waiting to see what they will do.

 

There will apparently be a new challenge today, called Operation 24. It starts at 5 PM UTC.

 

Nice find.

This means we are due a server maintenance somewhere 3-5pm utc. I bet they intend all of that to coincide with the launch party. 24 hours of launch - premium time for all?

 

Some guys on the dutch forum found in the game files that Operation 24 could be a reward for playing a 24 guys match...

Nearly impossible at the moment as I always have 1 or 2 disconnected guys per match

 

ok I'm confused, we Launch today? but the Launch event is next month? waa? have I missed something?

Would PGI even be able to to the required administration to provide an evening of beverage supping in an establishment dedicated to the creation of said beverages?

 

SURPRISE! We launch.

That's about all the surprise I'm expecting.

Once upon a time, just under a year ago, patches were exciting, because they were actually fixing things. Nowdays, it's a nerf-fest and release of a new, hotter-than-the-devil's-rectum map. The only way they are going to be able to make a hotter map is to put it in the core of a planet, or as close as they could put the map to the corona of a star without it melting everything. Firing a small laser on a 100% heat-efficient mech will overheat and core it.

But, I'd be pleasantly surprised to see something interesting like some of the Phoenix mechs released. I'm just not going to get my hopes up.

No matter what though, it is patch day, which means I'll unquestionably be playing.

 

Patch notes out, nothing earthshaking.

 

True words....

 

BEST LAUNCH SURPRISE I COULD ASK FOR!!!

Nice to see the AC/2 heat penalty scaled back some, though.

 

servers down now... in the middle of a good match session! DAAAAMN!

 

The challenge was nothing special. Play any 24 games, win or loose, get cockpit item. To celebrate 24 mechs being in the game it seems.

 

Surprise! We gave you the thing you love most in the world! Nothing!

A few minor bug fixes, new trials and neutering an overpowered weapon (UAC) to it's Standard counterpart.

Typical update. Nothing to complain about there. Calling it a "Game Launch?" Ehhhh. I'll just stick with their statement, "It's ceremonial."

You read my mind.

 

I think i made my own Launch Surprise! ----------> I got GTA V now!!! YEAAAAYYYY!!!

Best Surprise for me from me.. and it has soooo overwhelming Critics 95+ %!!! Damn, this Joy is soo overwhelming, that i forget all the sadness about MWO. Just take my time to explore that damn new Gangsta-World and coming back to MWO, when i need to destroy some Mechs again. Don't worry, be happy!!!
