What we've been working on:

 

1. Completed a big project that should fix a ton of old accounts that may have had problems

  - repaired 997,107 accounts

  - took 18+ hours to run

  - took 4 weeks to identify the problems and how to go about fixing them

  - took 3 weeks to build the tool

  - most problems were with very old rental mechs that had expired

  - refunded HC or MC in cases where items were purchased for rental mechs that had subsequently expired

  - restored 6.7 million missing items

  - 17 million+ actual fixes

  - this has been a pretty big stressor, but I think we've solved the vast majority of long-standing issues

2. Launched the half-off-everything pricing event this weekend

  - HC and MC prices were cut in half :)

3. Interviewed a number of new dev candidates

 

 

What's cooking:

 

1. We're going to schedule out some more aggressive balance tweaks

2. Deeper dives on the perceived performance issues some users are reporting

3. Watch for "what happens" with the account repair results, pricing changes.

As of right now all the mechs (at least the ones I haven't brought) are 6408 HC to purchase.

[kloeri] And we're done for now with all the rebooting.. except for a single server that will be rebooted when it's done pretending it's a tree.

There's something wrong with the mech prices. Every mech costs 6408 HC, where as the 12816 mechs are the only ones that should cost that much. the 7689 mechs should only cost 3844, and the 3844 mechs should cost 1922 HC.

you did it wrong apparently, upping certain mech prices and lowering others doesnt count (really doesnt)

you missed emblems completely (these things are awesome), then lets not go into internals items and  mech cosmetics

Yeah, so the mech pricing was a failed attempt to start making the pricing reflect the fact that all mechs are competitive.  Bad bad time to try that.  Sorry everyone.  I've updated the prices to simply be half off; it's just confusing to pack it all together.  It's egg on my face trick again.  huzzah

 

The emblems were supposed to be half off, but I forgot to commit the changes.  Pretty lame execution on my part.

Nuuuuuuuu!  Why?!?  It was a good idea!  It was a real good first step!  To show that all the mechs are competitive and that there really isn't any p2w is a good thing! :c  All you needed to do was communicate the change in the notes or something by an edit or another small update on steam so people's heads don't blow up out of confusion.

Just remember, some mechs are not unbalanced, players are just really good at using them and some players are not. 

 

Dont punish people for doing well just because lesser players complain when they see others succeed.
