(This applies for those who've successfully pre-loaded the closed beta. To do this successfully, uninstall your alpha client with the alpha installer, and go to the homepage's top-left corner and click "ENTER BETA". Signing into the pre-loaded closed beta client gives you access to your garage.)

The current mech garage only provides a limited number of six mechs (at least to me). Aside from the new "Berserker" class, there aren't any new mechs and a lot of the alpha2 mechs have been removed (The Bruiser is missing!?! WHYYYY!?!).

Does anyone (and I'm speaking to the devs and mods specifically) know if there's any intent to bring back the removed classes, or expand the mech list eventually? I'd, at the very least, like to see my bruiser again.

My guess is these are the ones they need tested. Maybe more will roll out during the next phase of testing. Or they want us to earn more currency so we can test purchasing/upgrading Mechs.

Just hang tight!
Looks like there may be more incoming, we just don't have the full list yet.

Ah. Well, this isn't so much a bug report as I'm curious what the devs have in mind, but if they intend to perform a phased roll-out, that could work, too.

Alphas and Betas are not full games nor should they be used as demos. They're ways for us to have reality checks and make sure we're not off in the weeds (C'mon guys, I told you a chihuahua mech would be popular!) as well as make sure our servers are stable and balancing correctly.

What you have available to you in one build doesn't mean it'll be available in another.

In all seriousness, this is good to know. I suppose I shouldn't get too attached to any specific mech before open beta goes live. Thanks for the feedback.

Additionally, there will (in all likelihood) be another patch before Closed Beta begins.

DO NOT BELIEVE HER LIES! A chihuahua mech would be a minor success next to the adorable stomping glory of a kitten mech.

Anyone else still have their purchases in tact? I've got all my paints, parts and internal upgrades available on mechs I had purchased previously.

Actually, it WOULD be popular. So long as you included a 'drop kick' weapon/ability, everyone would be on the lookout for them. Maybe only while dashing to PUNT the chihuahua (mech) into a wall, or off a rooftop?

I'm still waiting for the Bunny Mech I was promised. Fuzziness optional.

Nope, but granted-- I uninstalled the alpha. Maybe some of your files overlapped if you just saved the beta right over your alpha.

Wow. I want a chihuahua mech now! Oh, and a Chinchilla mech too. Seeing fluffy 20 foot tall mechs battle it out would be so cute. UT3 engine can do fluffy, right?
