Update #208 - Shocking Discovery: Tesla Tower!

We have an exciting new unit for this patch: the Tesla Tower! A great defensive structure it does electrical arc damage as well as applying a stasis effect to all the units it hits. Lots of fun to watch it in action--share your best screenshots in the forums! Cinco de Mayo content is live, so be sure to unlock Zara and pick up any of the limited time pets like the Pinata or Sombrero. Don't forget about the Maracas item if you want to get those infantry moving a bit faster! Enjoy the holiday everyone! In other news, AirMech Arena (the console version of AirMech) is in beta today for PS4 and Xbox One! PS4 players with PSN+ are able to get the game right now, and Xbox One players can use a key for access. Ask around if you need one, and DVIPs can check the forums for instructions on where to get theirs if they want it. Full release should be next week! We've also been looking into lag/disconnect reports and decided to retire some of our less reliable hosting providers. These areas were already well covered by other server locations, so this should not affect server availability for most players--we expect this will lead to better games for everyone.
