OPEN BETA PATCH NOTES: 12/14/12

Overview

We've rolled out another quick update to correct a malfunctioning internal, rename the rookie mech, clean up in-game messaging, and fix a number of bugs.

GAMEPLAY

Mechs
  • The Recruit Assault mech has been renamed "CR-T Recruit" so it isn't confused with the Assault mech.
Boosts
  • You can now purchase additional XP or HC Boosts while one is already active.
Items and Internals
  • The Brand-New Regulator rookie internal will now grant the correct amount of bonus XP.
  • Alternate primary weapons can no longer be selected before they are unlocked.
Tutorial
  • Fixed "SUBHEADER" text showing in the Garage at the beginning of the Training Mission.
  • The Training Mission now mentions giving pilots a starter mech (CR-T Recruit) and equipment.
MISCELLANEOUS
  • Cleaned up the legal screen a bit. It was dirty.
  • The Credits tab has been removed from the Game Options menu.
  • The "Mech Sync Failure" message now has friendlier messaging in all languages.
  • The Key Bindings menu has been pruned of unnecessary bindings.
  • The "test language" option has been removed from the French language build.
BUGS FIXED
  • The team select screen now scales to fit the number of players. The list will no longer stretch out of view.
  • Fixed the Friends List not immediately showing if friend is in a match (green dot).
  • Spelling corrections in the game credits.
Please run your launcher to update to the latest build, then get back into the fight! If you're experiencing a bug, please read the Known Issues before posting it.

Great patch! One suggestion though: I think you forgot to include "Switch Team" button in that new shiny UI. CBT3 featured the option, and it was possible to switch your team mid-game if opposing one had lower player count. It was extremely useful to manually balance out matches where one side was getting stomped due to ragequits, and I loved helping the underdogs. Now that option is gone and no one is having fun in these games. Please look into that.

We're looking into this, thanks for the heads-up.

And what if they dont wana switch... can we have the AI automate this and do the switching itself to even out the team balance or disable weapons until the teams balance out whichever seems more logical and acceptable in terms of product quality and fair gameplay..

Its human nature if you wining , why would i wanna switch to a loosing team... keep this is mind when you guys at Meteor Entertainment look into this as i think this needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Thanks for the great Game !!!

I see DeaD HawkeN PilotS and they all are  NooBS !

Finally. Thank you for the acknowledgement; I'm sure a lot of players would be really grateful if the feature can be implemented.

You can click their name in the friends list and join their game, other than that you will have to wait for the server browser and clan support update to come out.

I know you guys are busy trying to get the game stable right now, but poking your head into the suggestions forum could bring to your attention some issue that are really easy to fix and have high value to your players. Clearing internals and items, autobalance, and ability to switch teams have been in there.
