If PGI sticks to their release pattern from the Phoenix Pack of one mech per month, it means this:


Predicted Release Dates:
17.06.2014 - Kit Fox/Uller
15.07.2014 - Nova/Black Hawk
19.08.2014 - Summoner/Thor
16.09.2014 - Dire Wolf/Daishi
21.10.2014 - Adder/Puma
18.11.2014 - Stormcrow/Ryoken
16.12.2014 - Timber Wolf/Mad Cat
20.01.2015 - Warhawk/Masakari

PLEASE PLEASE PGI, CHANGE YOUR RELEASE PATTERN TO TWO MECHS A MONTH FOR THAT TIMEFRAME

Prefered Release Dates:
17.06.2014 - Kit Fox/Uller + Nova/Black Hawk
15.07.2014 - Summoner/Thor + Dire Wolf/Daishi
19.08.2014 - Adder/Puma + Stormcrow/Ryoken

Obviously something has to change. Can't have a whole month where every C-bill Clan player can only play a Kit Fox.

Having a full suite of 4 mechs ready on day one, then one additional mech per month, would be much more balanced.

If they do it will most assuredly be the bottom four. I agree though 4 to start with is sound. I haven't seen anything suggesting that this isn't the case. It would be silly to do anything else.

Yea, I know. The Timberwolf/Madcat is my favorite mech of all time. It will sadden me to have to wait till about this time next year to play it LOL.

There is one solution, but it isn't for me.

Rage? What Rage? I am only concerned that the non-paying players will have to wait for an extremely long time to get that content. The suggestions from Redshift and Belorion sound reasonably though. This would mean a release shedule like this:

17.06.2014 - Kit Fox/Uller + Nova/Black Hawk + Summoner/Thor + Dire Wolf/Daishi
15.07.2014 - Adder/Puma
19.08.2014 - Stormcrow/Ryoken
16.09.2014 - Timber Wolf/Mad Cat
21.10.2014 - Warhawk/Masakari

That would be acceptable i think. Let's see what way PGI will go.

Anyone who bought the "Puma Collection" would likely be very upset at PGI if they did that.

What kind of C-Bills are you thinking they should make those Clan Mechs worth btw?

To clarify, this thread is about the dates when the Mechs are available for C-Bills.
Everyone who bought a Package will get the included content on 17.06.2014.

Prizes according to sarna.net:
Kit Fox: 5,368,837 C-Bills
Adder: 7,021,688 C-Bills
Stormcrow: 14,771,112 C-Bills
Nova: 11,586,250 C-Bills
Thor: 21,320,834 C-Bills
Timberwolf: 24,233,124 C-Bills
Dire Wolf: 29,350,000 C-Bills
Masakari: 26,425,323 C-Bills

Eight months to get everything out seems like far too long. Surely they will have ideas for new mechs at least in-between the release or go with your proposed theory of 2 clan mechs a month. I like the Kit Fox but I doubt that can keep me entertained until the Timber Wolf release...

I assumed your initial listed dates were for C-Bill availability - (17.06.2014 - Kit Fox/Uller + Nova/Black Hawk + Summoner/Thor + Dire Wolf/Daishi)

Nobody gets Clan until 17.06.2014 as you noted.

Where is the lag between Pack arrival and C-bill availability? Or do you wish the "Puma Package" become available for C-Bills the same day as the advance bought Clan Packs arrive?

All Packs will arrive on the 17.06.2014. So i don't understand your point, why the "Puma Pack" customers would be upset, if PGI would release the 4 above mentioned mechs for C-Bills on the same day.

[Quaamik]

They are not going to release mechs for C-bills the same month people get them that pre ordered. They would never be able to sell another pre order.

I'm betting that if June is the pre order delivery, then July or Aug will be the earliest we will see them for MC and Aug / Sept the earliest for C-bills. Assuming I'm right, I doubt you will see a "one a month" rollout. Either that, or tge remason for the high price is they won't finish rolling these out (for C-bills) till well into 2015.

[Darth Futuza]

I can see why you wouldn't want me getting hands on clan mechs for c-bills, after all...this is free to play.

[Shadelen]

Just saying but if they dont make these mechs available for C-bills very soon after release hopefully the first batch of four at this point they will lose people. They have been playing the wait game with clan way to long.Many just want to see the game progress on and move on like it was suppose to many moons ago. If you bought a mech package then cool you dont have to pay C bills so why does it matter to you that everyone else get it available as C-bills?
All of you who ordered them will play them as soon as they come out.

[Znail]

What would work would be something like this:

06.2014 - Clan Packs arrive
(possibly only 2 weeks in between)
07.2014 - Kit Fox/Uller + Nova/Black Hawk + Summoner/Thor + Dire Wolf/Daishi
08.2014 - Adder/Puma
09.2014 - Stormcrow/Ryoken
10.2014 - Timber Wolf/Mad Cat
11.2014 - Warhawk/Masakari

[Belorion]

I have no doubt that the release will get changed to 2 mechs, but it will be one clan and one IS not two clan.

They may however start with 4 mech right when the clans hit.

[Sandpit]

My suggestion would be release the prime variant of one mech from each weight class on day one. That gives free players a nod, lets them stay in the flow with paid players and gives them a small taste. After that go back to normal release dates they've always followed

Oh, that's a month after the pre-orders get theirs to play with. That only makes sense to me as those that pre-order get that perk of playing with the new toys first.

And those cbill prices is why buying clan mechs with $$$ might be a good idea.

Because if PGI continues with the 3 variant requirement it'll cost just about 80,000,00 cbills just to buy 3 Marasakris. And people think grinding 10-20mil for an Atlas takes a long time!

[Sabazial]

Never gonna happen, it's much easier for pgi to release one clan mech per month as they did with the phoenix package. Why? because they can push out one clan mech per month for cbills and make a huge song and dance about it while adding little other content to the game during those months.. calling it now.
