"We are happy to announce that you have been approved for Closed Beta!"

No NARC or TAG by the looks of things, but item repair and crits!

I will spend millions repairing my XL300 and it will be glorious.

NARC and TAG will be coming, that one is certain. All tech prior to clan invasions will be included by the time the game releases. Basically this means almost everything except clan lasers, clan missiles, double heatsinks, etc.

They still need to put in more stuff for scoutier mechs or command mechs, so those are coming too. Radar, signal jammers, etc. So there is quite a bit to look forward to.

p.s: This game is redonkulously good when you have a computer than can run it at max hahaha. Also you kinda roflstomp everyone since you are the only person not lagging.

[Charmander]

Yeah, I know, I know. That was more the fact that it was tentatively scheduled for today's patch which didn't happen.

At the moment, you are effectively paying 75% of the value to repair a destroyed component - so say goodbye to 3.6 million c-bills for an XL300. I switched to a standard 280 instead - the repair costs are much more manageable.

I'm getting a firefall-esque beta wait time... It's not a problem, though.

This message is to inform you that we will be temporarily bringing down all MechWarrior® Online™ related services for an extended maintenance period.  This includes the game servers, the web server, PlaySpan operations (Founder’s Packages) and our backend database servers

And everything! Is being wiped apart from founders mechs.

Wow this latest update must have done a number to their servers but they did predict this due to the server having to track individual items and their health along with a few other things on mass scale

Apologies for my lack of knowledge about MW universe, but what's NARC and TAG?

[scout890]

NARC beacons guide targetless missles to it and TAG spots for artillery strikes.

[umiman]

They also didn't wipe the mechs you bought and the damage they sustained beforehand... so it was slightly annoying for me to have an entire lineup of broken mechs...

Then I played one match with my Founder's catapult...

Then I did a spit take when I saw how much money they gave me for a win.

Yeaaaah... pretty sure they'll change that amount when the game comes out. xD

I apparently cannot say if I was accepted into the beta a couple days ago, due to the NDA which also prohibits me from revealing anything related to the beta test in any way ... like, let's say... how quickly I stopped playing after realizing that I could only play one match with each mech. So I'm not saying that. But... I played something totally un-fun recently! Something whose acronym looks like it could mean "Modern Warfare Online" but actually means something completely different!

Naturally, before I agreed to the NDA, I was fully able to say that I was accepted into the beta, was not bound by the NDA, and was also able to read their beta forums. Seems like a bit of a giant loophole if you ask me.

[umiman]

You can say you're in the beta in case you haven't noticed.

[Shadowlord]

Are you sure?

Quoting past me who was not violating the NDA at the time by pasting a line from it, instead of quoting from the NDA now which would be a violation if it is connected to the Beta Test (this is probably still a violation, I have no idea. Hell, I don't know what they actually mean by "in connection therewith" and if it means "connected with" then that would be remarkably broad as you could connect all manner of things to the Beta Test... like all information on your hard drive, connected by being on the same hard drive. They clearly mean all screenshots, videos, comments about, discussion, feedback, bug reports, copies of the game itself, etc):

<SL> 'The Beta Test, together with all information, material and content in connection therewith (whether or not owned or developed by IGP), is the exclusive property of IGP (collectively, the “Confidential Information”);'

[RedKing]

I've never been in a beta where just saying "I'm in the beta" was considered to break NDA. Now saying anything *beyond* that (like "only playing one match with each mech"...which I have no idea if it's true or not) could be argued to break NDA.

I need to remind myself to sign the NDA and download the client.

@realmechdaddy The only fact you can state is that you are in the beta. Everything else is still under NDA

Straight from their twitter.

We are happy to announce that you have been approved for Closed Beta!

YEAH!
