How long does it take to be able to play online? I can't afford the packs. I'm 100% complete on my profile.

Just over 4 hours, assuming you get a minimum wage job.

There is no time limit for pending, there is no 'wait time' or 'approval time'; there are people who have been pending for months.

There were doing random invite for a few months and some people got in. SOME. Everyone else has to wait or buy a pack.

[Elsydeon]

I have been pending since May 3rd.

It's all about getting you to buy the pack, no other reason.

This is the only let down of this free 2 play system, those that can't afford for some specific reasons (For example for me it's cause I'm on disability) so those that can afford it are always one step ahead. Eitherway I'm curious towards this game and hope that this game isn't gonna be like the PWE games where they need you to get so much money to make a difference.

Are you saying that you are afraid that those who pay can do better than those who do not pay?

You dont need to use real money to stay competitive here.
You can do just as well with just using ingame money as you can if you use real money.
Only difference is that you get it a little faster if you use real money.

There are no Tiers of mechs, all mechs and weapons are available to everyone from the start.
There are absolutely NO premium content.
Everything you can get with a premium account, you can get with a non premium account.
There are NO premium mechs and there are NO Ammo/weapons that are better than what anyone else can get.

I'm not sure if this answers your concerns here.
If it dont then please clarify, then I can at least try to explain things properly.

Theres gonna be a wipe when the servers go open, so the people playing now wont even have a cbill advantage. All they will really habe on you is a bit of experience, in a very limited scope of the game. And one could argue that if you play around in any of the previous incarnations of the series youd get comparable piloting experience.

As for going open, im predicting the 9th. Or whenever it is the founders stops being sold. They wont leave a window in where people are stuck not allowed to get in even if willing to pay.

Yeah, coming from someone who joined a month ago.

Why do you people who just signed up and have no thoughts on contributing to this hard-working company feel that you are owed a beta invite?

The package is nothing more than a collectors item, even stated as that by the Dev's. It's for the true fans of the franchise to give back to a company who is bringing an unseen game back from a 10 year grave.

Everything you get in-game is just a bonus and quite frankly a very nice bonus. This pretty little tag under my name wont be attainable after the 6th, and in about 2-3 years I can wave it in peoples faces who regret not getting one or just didnt get the chance. Gonna make my e-peen feel soooo big!

If you truly cant afford it, then go mow 2 lawns for $15 a piece, you'll be good to go!
