Ok, I'm not that new, but I missed out on founders and phoenix so this is my first chance to take part in an IS pre-order. However, i have some specific questions that don't seem to be answered in the FAQ. Can anyone help?

1. If I buy the $20 Fire pack (by Nov 4th), do i qualify for all the monthly rewards and free Atlas AS7-S?
2. If I buy an A la Carte pack, do i qualify for all the monthly rewards and/or free Atlas AS7-S?

1. Yes to all the monthly rewards. No to the free Atlas. It's too late for that now.
2. No rewards (i think) and no Atlas.

Yes! They even extended the deadline to Nov 4th to better accommodate players buying the new packs, and any order before the specified cut-off date(s) receives the monthly awards

[TheCaptainJZ]

Oops. I guess I missed that?

So even A La Cartes? I saw your other link, but couldn't work out if collections referred to anything in Resistance pack or only the tiered Fire, Fury, Wrath bundles etc. I'm keen on Zeus, but not sure I can stretch to $80 at mo. If not, then the Panther pack at least is a no brainer; Free atlas and nearly 2 months premium time for $20, Wow!

Pretty sure the A La Carte packs count for the monthly rewards - they did in the Clan Invasion packs, and I'm pretty sure they do in the Clan Wave 2 pack, too.

You can qualify with either according to what I read on the FAQ.

If you do go A la Carte or through the packages... if you 'upgrade' to the Wrath package, you'll get a King Crab too if done before December the 16th.

or you could get the Panther now, then upgrade to the Zeus later, with the first Clan pack I do not think a la carte purchases counted for the rewards, however if any a la carte Clan purchasers correct me then assume I am wrong

Truth be told when the Founders package came, I threw in for the Veteran package (to get a C1 with a nose cone; YEAH!) and went up to Legendary when I could afford it.

When Phoenix came a year and a half later, I threw in 20 for the Locust, and later came into the rest and upgraded.

I bought the $20 pack today for 54 days of PT and swag. Guess I get Panthers too.

May upgrade, may not. But this is a great approach to buying since you get the goodies locked in and can outlay cash on your schedule.

[Redshift2k5]

Buying a low pack early, to get the best monthly rewards, and upgrading over time (the packs are on sale for months!) has always been a good approach

[5LeafClover]

Just to make double sure, I asked support. They replied ala carte qualifies for both atlas and monthly goodies. :-)

Awesome!

The AS7-S is an absolute beast, BTW.

[Koniving]

I'm still trying to find a niche for the Atlas S. Then again, it's still going 48 kph as I'm working on eliting it.

Though I gotta say it makes a funny LRM boat.

54 days? How? I see only 30 days for 20$ ???

Or You will buy 4 x 20$ pack?

30+14+7+3 for the early buy-in (you get all early buy-in awards if you buy in at the beginning)

You don't even need to upgrade each month. It's "if you buy by X date." If you buy now, you've bought by all of those dates. (You only get the KC if you get all the way to the top package, unless you've previously qualified)

Where is my wallet? Honey dear.... !!!!!!!!!

[IronRaginCajun]

I can upgrade to Masakari for $70. Was wondering about doing this and buying the IS Resistance pack. Just wondering if I would get a mad dog if I bought these 2 maxxed out sets.
Nothing on the mad dog page about it, just still talks about how if you upgrade to Masakari and buy Clan Wave II you get it.

Anyone know?
