Attention, mech pilots! For a limited time, you can test drive the Scout, Raider and Grenadier mechs for free. Try before you buy! All 3 mechs are come fully equipped with items and internals.



Head to your garage to test drive these mechs right now until June 24!

Grenadier agian_! Ahoy!

[Silverfire]

Fix the turret mode info about the Gren, somebody!

Also, no patch notes yet_ Boo!

[TwentyFirstPilot]

I've been waiting to test out the Raider.

[comic_sans]

Argghggh stop giving the scout the miniflak for test drives!  That's a fool's choice!

[EliteShooter]

Regardless of what mechs will be offered for test drives, people won't like it, especially people who mastered one or multiple mechs that will be available for test drives.

And btw, ZC, could you please discuss with the guys if they could do a Q&A in the near future_ Please_ And if it will happen, the questions must be first approved, so people have to send them to you for example via PMs, and then you guys chose the important questions and respond; just a simple way to avoid useless posts or repeated questions. I hope you guys consider doing this in the next weekend or some time later in the next week.

And now, for something completely different...
How about including prototype mechs, G2 mod proposals, etc_
Put one development test mech in per week, various different loadouts, whatever.
Sort of a real Try It before you Bork It. This could defer disasters like G2 Raider, and the initial G2 Assault.
It'll also drive the mech development Conspiracy nuts crazy with "What's the next {____} mech_"

Dang, now I wish I'd waited just a few more days to test-drive the Raider...

[Zdragow]

For the players I talked to in-game about the Grenadier, link's here in my sig.

[Zaxik]

Any patches in the near future, please_

Every day I pray for less lags on servers. It used to be fine, lately it's just a one big lagfest.

Also this bug, which is (at least for me) very common:

We'll take a look.

Still outdated images, GRENADEER TURRET MODE IS GONE FOR LONG NOW!

Sorry Team HWK, but you are not going to do it if you start failing at THESE things.

This is most likely related to database migration work but I'll ping the platform team.

Can this be a thing_ Pretty please_ I realize that creating a new mech every week would be impossible, but if you do have a prototype on deck, and wanna give a field test, this sounds like a great way to do it.

Usually test drive mechs are changed on tuesdays. Usually the devs create a thread (like this one) about the new available test drive mechs after they changed the mechs. So, you should have been able to use these mechs since last tuesday.

Last week's test drive mechs are still active due to a bug. The devs are looking into it.

[[HWK]HUGHES]

Sorry everyone, there's a bit of a cat and mouse thing taking place with test drives in that when platform changes are rolled out, it's reverting the rotation database changes being made. We'll monitor and hopefully this next rotation will go more smoothly. Thanks.

[Ade_the_Rare]

Thanks for the communication HUGHES. Hopefully it'll stop the *devs abandoned us* doomsayers for at least a day
