Gameplay

- 15% of critical damage dealt to an exposed 'Mech component will now be directly applied to the internal structure of that component.
- This is only applied to the critical damage done. Base weapon damage is not taken into account.
- Critical damage is not applied through armor.
- Armor must be reduced to 0% before any crit damage is applied to internals.
- Large Pulse Laser duration reduced to 0.6 (down from 0.75)
- Medium Pulse Laser duration reduced to 0.6 (down from 0.75)
- ER Large Laser base heat reduced to 8.5 (down from 9.5)
- PPC base heat increased to 9.0 (up from 8.0)
- ERPPC base heat increased to 12.0 (up from 11.0)
- SRM6 and 4 have a shared Max Alpha of 3. (SRM4s used to have a 4 threshold)

- 12v12 gameplay is now in.
- The 8-man queue is now replaced by a 12-man queue.
- Players can launch in groups of 1,2,3,4,12. Numbers between 4-12 will be addressed when we get tonnage limits into the game.
- CB rewards have been adjusted to compensate for the additional 4 players on the battlefield.

- Assault mode base captures now take longer.
- Conquest point captures now take longer.
- Players should be aware that capping in Conquest mode takes longer now, and that it is often wise to pre-plan your routes to account for that.

Performance

- Created low and medium spec optimized versions of weapon effects.
- Removed ground level vegetation and debris in Forest Colony and Forest Colony Snow for low spec.

Bug Fixes

- Added missing LOD's to Quickdraw Battlemech.
- Added missing LOD's to Highlander Battlemech.

General

First Victory of the Day

- The first time of each day you win a match for each 'Mech variant (owned or trial), you will earn double the XP rewards at the end of the match
- If one of your Mechs is eligible for the first victory bonus, it will be marked with an "XP x2" icon in its Mech Bay
- Once you earn a first victory bonus with a 'Mech, you can't earn the bonus again for that 'Mech until the eligibility resets at 12:00 AM UTC

We thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
