The MechWarrior Online team gave us another round of answers to the ‘ask a dev’ thread yesterday..
Sounds like today’s patch is going to be a big one:
Q: When can we expect to see additional mech variants to fill the Jenner (Commando, Awesome, etc.) required 3 to advance to Elite skill? [Tastian]
A: Very, VERY soon™. As in tomorrow. [Garth]
This one hints at more involved environmental effects coming our way (at some point):
Q: Have you considered adding cracks to the windshield and/or sparks in the cockpit when you receive damage to the head? What about bad weather effecting windshield, such as rain or snow? [Maverick01]
A:Â Yes, we have plans similar to this already in the works. :)[Garth]
The only drawback to that, would be if I can’t see out the windshield, I can’t see the great artwork/models that are in the game.. but, I would like for the ‘nightvision’ mode to actually be useful.. Â I’m either using Thermal vision or ‘normal’ mode.
Head on over and read the rest of the answers..
