Yes, I know there are those who are "we have enough robots already".

Obviously, this is not meant for them. Though I'm sure that most will neglect to read past the title to grasp that.

That said, timejump or not, it's definitely past the point of diminishing returns for me.

Maybe a double handful of IS or Clan mechs left that I would consider buying, even if I want burned out on the game itself.

Assassin
Vulcan
Crusader
Hellspawn

Piranha
Vapour Eagle
Nova Cat
Mad Cat mkII
really seem to be about it, for me.

How about you?

Blood Asp
Fafnir
Flea
Firemoth
Bane
Imp

...I'd pretty much buy anything that promises to bring a unique twist to the game, and isn't just another laser boat with bland loadouts/shape/movement/etc.

Crusader and Stinger, apart from those I'm not sure I'd pay for anything.

Maybe Wasp and Chameleon.

None. Its time we moved beyond "do you want to buy a mechpack" and into developing a proper game.

Also, most of the engine/hardpoint permutations and combinations has already been used. There's very few theoretical builds that cannot be fitted on any of the existing mechs.

Maybe a stone rhino if it looks good, but even then, I highly doubt it.

Osiris, Madcat mkii, Avatar, Blood Asp, Stone Rhino.

But, Alex does some amazing things with chassis that I previously had zero interest in.

What do you expect from millenials that have been through so much torture over two whole years? Posted Image

Wasp
Stinger
Dasher


Although, I am not sure if I am a big fan of the $20/$40/$15 pricing for lights.

Although I would legitimately be interested in the Fafnir and that IS omnimech based off of the Madcat that's actually just a Marauder with ears..

..I ain't giving PGI one damn dime. They stole my friendly doritos so I stole all of my future purchases. They won't give me what I want, so I won't give them what they want.. (unless they're BDSM types.. then I'd gladly give it to them.)

I would spend money on the Dervish.
The phoenix hawk was tempting, and I may still pull the trigger.
Beyond that I would very seriously consider the Whitworth and possibly a Javelin.
Although it all depends on the art/model, I didn't think anything would prevent me from buying the Rifleman, but here we are.

I think about the only thing left that I'd be reasonably sure to jump on would be the Grendel.

Beyond that? Think it's time Piranha started investigating a time jump. Especially since the Clans are just about out of 'Mechs that aren't useless antiques at this stage.

Pouncer would be tempting. Fire Moth, if the price was right. Nova Cat is a sure bet, though.

For me I still want for the IS:

Champion (friend showed my Bishop Steiner's art with the Cicada style shield arms and oh I fell in love with it).
Hammerhands (favorite from tabletop).
Argus.
Assassin.
Owens.
Osiris.
Strider.
Bushwacker.
Wasp + Stinger.
Hellspawn.
Dervish.
Hatchetman.
Thunder Wolf.
and the Fafnir.

For the clans:
Couger
Nova Cat
Bane
Blood Kite
Balius

And that is it really in the current grasp of MWO (which sounds like we will get into the FedCom civil war). I would still someday love to see the Raptor 2 no matter how terrible of a mech it would be in an FPS.

oh feel free to add what you want from any time frame. The hope ifs that is PGI sees 100 lists and sees a few names in most of them...it might entice them to release mechs we IDK...actualyl want?
