Is it too late?

Yes. Been closed for a long while now.

Much, I'm sad to say.

Although rumor is spreading that when the clan mechs are about to release, a second "Launch / Founder's" package of sorts will feature clan mechs. But, remember, rumor. No proof and the devs aren't answering questions on it other than the one "Maybe" from Bryan. I do guarantee though if it features the Timber Wolf, it'll sell big.

There IS good news. The fancy stuff that the Founders mechs have, may become purchasable. For example the Catapult's nose cone? Atlas heads? It's a backburner idea but one likely to appear. "Custom Atlas heads." "Catapult nose cones." "Rounded Raven beaks." Just a few of the guaranteed things.

"Clan Founders package" would be kinda dirty and would get those pay-to-win guys up in arms, were talking planet of the apes up in arms with manchimps jumping up and down and hollorring as they beat things with rocks, sticks and the occasional pile of excrement.

I do however expect we will see hero mech before standard issue mech releases more like we saw with the Heavy Metal/Highlander however, and more hero mechs are always good (but frankly badass paint jobs are more important, especially faction specific ones.)

Why?? Let`s say "legendary" contains an Adder, a Nova, a Timber Wolf and a Dire Wolf, with a 30% c-bill bonus, same as the IS founders mechs. What`s "dirty" about it?

Because the Founders mechs are so obviously OP vs their (identical) C-bill variants?

Or because they`re already acting like monkeys on a daily basis?

I don`t see the second as a valid reason to change anything.

*Facepalm* Okay slight miscommunication here, I was saying if Clan mechs were 'only' available to people who forked up a clan founders package fee or got them well ahead of everyone else. Brain farts aside, if people were able to pay to get clan mechs even a week ahead of other players (or those who would pay hero mech prices, but not founder prices) it would still be pretty nasty. Imagine dropping in with your premade and the other team has a premade too, half of which is comprised of Dire Wolf battlemechs.

[Redshift2k5]

Nobody is saying they want Clan mechs only available from a bundle/package, and just because they may offer a bundle doesn't mean it would be available before non-cash shop purchases. You're inventing problems that don't exist.

[New Breed]

You can pretty much expect a clan founders pack


and yes I'd buy it.. probably the legendary level one this time.

Inventing problems that don't exist for a theoretical package, jeebus!

You can be pretty sure that won`t happen, the P2W chimpanzees would actually have a valid argument them, and PGI is not that stupid.

This assumes that there is even a possibility of dropping in mixed matches with IS +clan on one side for more than a week or so.

That will almost certainly never happen on live servers. You`re either fighting for the IS, or you`re fighting for the Clans. Choosing a side is pointless if everyone can have everything on a whim....

I asked specifically about this in ATD 36 or so, whether it will still be possible to play with friends despite conflicting factions, and was explicitly answered with "that would be a private match"

Private matches are a different story, btu they also will not (presumably) have any influence on CW.

I understand your concerns, but do not view them as valid at this point in time because we still know zilch about the clans and their implementation im MWO. All we know for a "fact" is that they were OP in tabletop and that they ARE coming. Everything else is pure speculation and /or wishful thinking

Psst. Fixed.

Founders mechs get a 25% bonus. Heroes get a 30% bonus. Champions get a 5 or 10% XP/GXP bonus.

It would be nice if I can get some of those C1-cone *cough* nose *cough* accessory so that my CPTL-C1 can look even more deadly and more pointier :3

Hello.

[Skoaljaw]

Had I known about MWO back then I would have gotten in on the founder's thing... It would be awesome to have this opportunity again.

That is correct, and was a brainfart on my part, thanks bro
