Add a couple of disco light effects above the pilot who ranks after a match and has earned one big achievement (ie. 1000 kills, 300 hours playing the game, Etc.).

Just kidding.. well.. or maybe not.

Since you guys have to delay the co-op bot training, please add some giant bosses (even if its just an existing mech scaled up 10 fold, hell I think that would be hilarious).

That would be the bee's knees.

anybody else notice small parts of the patch are already being implemented_ for instance playing in my lvl 25 bruiser last night & I STILL earned an extra optimisation point_ is this the overflow they talked about_

My guess would be that you never allocated the point you got for getting to level 25.

Let us players write a entire entry of a possible map demand. Then you decide in a forum competition who's the winner and comes on 2/3th place.

Make polls threads and ask players what they want the most within three possible features. The highest rating shouldn't conquer everything, but the best argument and constructive thought makes the best option.

The more you are eager to corporate with us players, the more fun it is to stay and read the forums.

So let's see... updates... updates...

Thursday and Friday of last week I was in San Francisco doing a very small press tour to discuss what's going on with this upcoming patch. The response was quite positive and we were also able to show off a lot of the Oculus Rift functionality in person too. Some of that time speaking with the press extended to include yesterday and today and coverage from the last few days should start popping up tomorrow sometime so keep your eyes open!

Monday we locked up our next RC and we intend to be patching HAB with it later this week. As of right now it's the build we're hoping to go live to the world but that's why it's called a RC (release candidate); we aren't 100% sure it's going live yet but we're still confident with a release before the end of the month.

A big focus this week is getting a significant number of eyes on our account migration plan which is what the patch to HAB will help with. In order to move players over to some of the new systems we have to make sure that when players sign in with the latest version of the game after patching, all their stuff, stats and XP makes it over to the other side as intended. In addition to migration testing, we're still working on bug fixing and polish for the client with a UI / Presentation pass in progress for the update after this August one. Co-Op work also continues on for the release after this one...

Overall we're looking good and the team is feeling really great about the amount of work accomplished and the volume of bugs closed out over the last couple of weeks. We're just working on crossing Is and dotting Ts at the moment. More progress updates to come soon!

Thanks.

The one locked on Monday was technically the third scheduled RC for this next update.

Yes. It's called "Open Beta".
Keep in mind, HAB is just a larger-scale QA test for a beta patch. So even when the patch goes live, it's still a beta and it's still a test.

If any mech should be nerfed it should be the Sharpshooter, leave the Techs out of it
On another note I would love to see a mech with the ability to Selfdestruct. It could be used as a last resort after taking critical damage, or I could just boost face first into a swarm of enemy mechs, comitting suicide whilst taking two or three enemy mechs kicking and screaming to hell with me

So with this new Mech Progression and level up rewards system...is it retroactive_  I've got my prized lvl 30 Berserker sitting my garage and I'd love what awesome gear I'd get to outift it with without starting over.
