Last Call for Legions Taunts

This Wednesday, October 1st, is the deadline for the Legions Taunt Contest.  If you've got something make sure you leave a video response to Crash's taunt.  I'm sure there are a lot of ideas out there, so quit being self conscious and post videos!

Here's a submissions from br16guy.

 

Racer Community Content

Just saw these screenshots in the forums that have been posted by people like you and the letter A.  Thought it would be fun to share them.  This game is definitely looking good as you can see in the screens below.

Keep 'em coming and I'll get them up here on the blog so everyone can see.  There was also a video posted which you can check out in this thread here: Screenshots.

Legions Pre-Order

Thanks for all of your feedback and suggestions on this.  As a follow up to our Legions pre-order announcement, we have decided to hold off on any type of preorder for now.  We will continue to work on the content for Legions (we have new classes and 6 new maps in the works), more dedicated servers integrated, and other features before Legions is completed.  We'll be letting the ads work for us now, as they are integrated into the game, and they will continue to be non-intrusive to gameplay.  The community will be notified prior to us launching Legions as a purchase and will have adequate time to give feedback before anything goes live.

Discuss on the forums here.

IA Podcast #17: TadPod

This podcat is a tadpod.  That means it's a short podcast that will grow into a full grown tadcast eventually.  I don't really know what any of that means, but we ran short due to the fact that we had a live chat with Jay Arrera today.  You can watch that here. 

We still cover the usual topics.  Just quickly.  Listen to it today!

East Coast Say What?

That's right, we're getting new east coast dedicated servers.  Keep your eyes out for 8 new Shazbot servers that say New York, USA when looking for Legions games to join.  That means 7 additional 16-player games and 1 additional 32-player game that should have better ping times for you east coasters and Europeans.

Please discuss this in the "In The Works" section of the forums.  More information to come shortly.

Lore Wallpapers and More!

That rhymed!  Anyway, wanted to share these wallpapers that the guys over at Max Gaming sent my way.  The first one is some MAVs just sitting around in a hangar ready for action.  The second one has some MAVs with nukes going on all around them.  You know, just like mech combat should have.

In addition I'd like to share a video that walks you through the MAV Lab.  This is the area where you'll customize your mech (MAV).  Take a look at the many customization options.

Don't forget to get your name into the private beta list here: Official Beta Application

Lore: Aftermath

Forum goers may have noticed a new section in the forums.  Lore: Aftermath now has a forum section.  The first post is a thread to get into the private beta.  All you need to do is post something in that thread and we'll get you in just as soon as we begin collecting names.  You can find the discussion board here.  And that oh so coveted beta sign up list is here.  There are some screenshots here as well.

Enjoy this video until you can play it.  :)
