Did Somebody Say “Mechs” or “PAU” ?  And What’s the Difference?

With D16 we will be releasing finalized Mechs and PAUs.  The difference is simple.  Mechs will be entered from a mech pad in a captured Control Point similar to what is found on D15 Earth and Edmund Range maps.  PAUs, however, will be formed around the player when called upon by a usable.  PAUs can be used only by the highest level of Receptive and certain skill requirements must be met.

A fix has been applied onto the live servers in order to address the issue affecting the Clan Lockboxes. We thank you for your understanding and patience with this matter!

D15 is now live! Here are the Highlights of this deployment:
