I am sad....

Sad because after the W3 and R2 packs, most of the mechs I like will be in game (nothing left to look forward to). There are some outliers (Champion) and some that won't be put in mechanic-wise (Hatchetman) and of course the Unseens (Archer, Rifleman, Warhammer, Marauder).....

Do all I have left to look forward to is maps/modes and the endless flip-flop of quirk balancing?

Sure, my bank account is looking forward to the future... This isn't a "leaving mwo" post either. I plan to be here till the end. But what's left for me to spend my money on (no consumables!)?

Also... Bump!
Who knows what the future will hold.

I'm in pretty much the same boat.

Even pushing it to 3055, outside of the Bushwhacker, nothing I particularly want.
Maybe Mongoose, Scarabus (needs melee), Venom, Assassin,Talos, Nightstar, Lupus, Blood Kite (Clan Battlemech), Turkina.

Plus some outliers, that are either out-of-timeline, or never going to happen (The Tarantula, a few 3100+ mechs)

Maybe the occasional hero.
But we're pretty much at my limit.

The worst thing in the Champion it's the name, which is used for the.. well, champion mechs. Fancy a champion Champion?

Besides, it is still too similar to the Dragon in everything, except looks (yes, it looks amazing).


Wait for resistance 3, so I can buy those 2 mechs. mmm, daddy like

Just as long as we get mixed tech with it.

I am hopeful that we will eventually see Aerospace, Armor and Infantry... I know, a pipedream, but I can wish...

Bump!

We need something other than "Whaaa! nerf" threads on the first page lol.

I would like to see how the Champion would turn out in the game. It's loadout may be a bit underwhelming, but I am hoping that speed and torso twist will be it's selling point. Plus the Champion should have well placed weapon hard points by the look of the artwork on Sarna.

Just like a Cicada is really a more heavily armored light, a Champion is like a more heavily armored medium. A 110kph Champion would be pretty nice if possible (depending on where the engine cap lands).

IMHO, PGI missed a HUGE opportunity with their Transverse debacle instead of looking into and developing the rest of the Battletech themes. I'd have bought into aero/space in a heartbeat. IMO that other game will become the WoW of space genre, but the Battletech IP is still unique enough to not compete on the same level.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm happy with a perpetual cycle between 3025-3050(ish).

Actually, if MWO stops at 3060, it would be great for me.
We would get the coolest Clan and IS mechs without the need to open that Pandora's box of all new techs and weapons.

Nova Cat? -yes
Blood Adder? -yes
Bushwacker? -yes
Devastator? -yes

Unfortunately, that would leave the MW4 mechs out... OK, maybe up to 3064... :ph34r:

It went so fast, it burst through the fabric of space and is now in the Flash's timeline of 2015, helping against the Weather Wizard.
