Is there really a reason to have 2 MAD-3R's? I understand double the price, double the mechs but I have very few that I run two different builds on and one of these comes with +30% c-bill bonus so the other is basically to vendor for a free mechbay?

Better than the $30 that most other heavy heros are.

I bought everything. $75 (cdn) up up and awaaaaaaay! lol

The included premium time helps.

I'm actually disappointed that the BH has an engine cap of 275... I guess it was kind of expected due to its low initial engine size, but at least a 300 would have been nice.

Like moon said, better than current heroes prices.

I'd buy it if I were you, standard pack and then hero, you'll be happy to spend $35 USD on a mech pack than other a la carte packs that have less and are not as good as the Maruader.

Not to risk slowing down the hype train, because my wallet is dangerously close to the keyboard here, but what exactly is the refund policy if certain curmudgeons issue a cease and desist letter, thus delaying (or god forbid, stopping) the release?

Seems like we won't be getting special geometry on pack mechs anymore. (there wern't any in the last 2 mech packs they announced)

Which is too bad because the cost is the same, even though we are now getting less out of it; just a unique camo and 30% Cbill boost now.

They would have had a great opportunity to add a more enclosed cockpit as the unique geometry.

I prefer the original PGI design, especially for the large cockpit. Not only do I think it looks better, but if they used your design, the head hitbox would be the little glass window right in the middle of the front of the mech. It would make it really easy to headshot a Marauder that looks like that. I'd rather have a large cockpit with players having to guess where the head hitbox is when it first comes out. Also the visibility out of your little cockpit would be terrible and very limited.

There are other things you should think about besides just external aesthetics if you are going to suggest PGI redesign a mech to your specifications.

*edit* PGI can't just use that design for custom geometry without also redesigning the inside of the cockpit to reflect the limited visibility that small cockpit window would have.

I think the reason we are seeing this now is because Harmony Gold recently lost some court battles regarding these designs... Thats why there is new BT material out there with the Marauder, Warhammer, and several other classically "unseen" mechs prominently displayed on the front cover, almost like they are giving HG the finger...

Very cool that they're doing this but I can't justify this purchase.

Will gladly put money down when they do this for the Warhammer which is probably my earliest Battletech memory and therefore ultra special.

I would seriously love to buy this, being a hardcore Marauder fan (I use a stock MAD-3R in TT all the time).

But, I can't play the game, due to all the random disconnections that I keep getting for NO reason, so no money from me.

If PGI, or someone from the community, can help me figure out why the hell the game doesn't like me, then I shall instantly throw money at this mech.

But until I can resolve this issue, I can no longer continue spending on this game.

Just to make sure,

One of these packs, if bought before Oct 6th at 10am PDT, would qualify you for the customer appreciation WVR-7D.?

Also you should have released the 5R as the 4th variant, probably wouldhave sold alot more packs that way (and ultimately who would care, since the variant would be available for c-nill purchase eventually)

Or, you know, a player might want to go a little crazy and keep the non-special variant stock. :D

P.S.: That's how I keep my R63... :lol:


To each their own but I don't think everyone wants to spend real money to have a nostalgia mech build that would only see play for the lulz unless stock matches became a thing.
