Matt Newman also mentions a few other upgrades coming in future patches, including a specific event queue that might arrive alongside the revamped skill tree. This might even encourage new players to stick around for more than a few quick play matches. Consumable slot upgrades are also locked behind several other nodes so perhaps MechWarrior Online will become less Airstrike Warrior Online in the near future.īest of all is that no refunds will be necessary when the new skill tree rolls out and unlocking new skills will be a lot cheaper than before. Seismic is still locked behind at least four targeting nodes, and a fully-powered ECM is locked behind eight sensor nodes. Everything will have its own itty bitty tree so you’ll finally be able to customize your ‘Mech the way you want it. Getting armor nodes won’t require getting skeletal density nodes, and getting the laser durations nodes won’t require getting every single other node in the firepower tree. What’s so amazing about this change is that you’ll finally be able to get the skills you want without being forced to pick skills you don’t want. The skill tree will become far easier to understand by breaking up trees into related groups, while the number of clicks will be reduced by letting the player just click once to unlock all skills in a node. Developer PGI’s recent development vlog has revealed significant changes coming to MWO’s skill tree. Taking an unskilled ‘Mech into a tier-one match feels like taking a recently-be-shat baby into a sumo wrestling match. In my experience, what sucks the most about the skill tree is while it can offer substantial buffs to your ‘Mech’s performance, it becomes mandatory to take a fully-skilled ‘Mech onto the field the further up the MechWarrior Online skill rankings you are. Requiring 92 clicks to complete and so confusing that you needed a degree in brain rocket surgery to understand, the skill tree was roundly criticized by the community at the time, and it hasn’t changed much since then. Some time ago, MechWarrior Online introduced its worst feature, the skill tree. MechWarrior Online Dev Blog Reveals Revamped Skill Tree We’ll hopefully get that launch date in the coming weeks. Wolves is a fan game, so these folks all have day jobs to attend to first. The only bad news here is that there’s no concrete launch date for Wave 3. Best of all, that multiplayer mode will arrive with Wave 3’s launch. Waves 3 will contain four ‘Mechs, one for each weight class, with the Puma being the light ‘Mech and the Timber Wolf as its heavy. Doggo confirmed a few of the features coming to Wolves, including a planned multiplayer mode that will let players browse and join servers hosted by other players. New Day Fiction’s Pajama Boy joined texture artist Knightly Doggo to showcase the Puma in a seven-minute video posted to the MechAssaultReborn YouTube channel. One of those ‘Mechs just happens to be the Puma (or Adder, if you’re nasty). We’ve seen the folks over at New Day Fiction make significant progress on their passion project over the years, and now they’re gearing up for the release of a new wave of ‘Mechs to be added to Wolves’ roster. Wolves, the MechAssault fan game that’s promising to bring MechAssault kicking and screaming into the future, is gearing up for its Wave 3 update.

You can pick up the PDF for three bucks over on Catalyst’s website. Think power-ups, boss fights, and even a Tetris mode, which is both confusing and concerning.
