**** you {LT-MOB-25} knocking ******, "leaked"

You're insulting your own intelligence if you think that they think that you think it was actually leaked. Seriously, take a pill or go see a doctor or something, cause the way you're acting ain't healthy.

How can you buy it ? The "Buy now" Buttons on the Project Pheonix page have no effect/link they are just pictures.

It was leaked in the sense in that the OP was posted when it was just a teaser item, and then the next few days they added silhouettes for the mechs, and then the package details / FAQ, and then images of each mech 1 day at a time to fill out each silhouette.

Edit: Although, I can see the perspective of it no longer being "leaked" if you came across it in its current form.

Actually, they are not.
Have you been logged in? Did you block certain content (via adblock, scripblock etc.)? Maybe that's the fault.
I could klick on them and get me the fricking godlike-awesome-fumblemyba**s-superpackage and I am soooo excited to try it out^^

Assault (the problem with assaults is that there are still tons to choose from)
Banshee (likely to fill the 95 tonnage bracket).
And then either of these
King Crab/Cyclops/Zeus/Annihilator/Shogun/Katana/Imp/Charger/Thug/Hatatmoto-chi
And that doesn't even count all the reseen that are now an option.

I think the Hatatmoto-chi would be a great balancing mech for our inventories

Dude, it's "leaked" in the RP sense. It wasn't really leaked. This is an advertisement. PGI is playing around with new ways to encourage people to spend money on MW:O. Relax.

they would encourage a lot of us to spend more money by not lying to us, giving use real content and bug fixes instead of cash items for my mechs dashboard, and instead of wasting time and money on a game breaking feature that the community overwhelmingly does NOT want, they could be working more on CW and clan mechs.

Limited Edition Geometry = ???

What does this mean exactly? The Phoenix mechs have custom models that look different than what the regular variants will have? will the hitboxes be different? The graphics we can see of the Phoenix mechs right now, are those the Limited Edition ones or the standard ones?

Yes, it means they have a unique look. Will the hitboxes differ? Unlikely, since it would cost extra production time to make this different.
If then people want to whine about how you can't tell what you're aiming for, then I think you're imagining these geometrical differences as being far more extreme than a couple jaggy shoulders or a different lasermuzzle and need to stop worrying so much about a videogame.

Me. They're kind of bland and boring. The only one remotely interesting is the Locust.

For me it's the other way around. I find the Locust rather boring in this version. I know it's never going to happen but I would have loved to have a Wasp instead of the Locust. Wonder what PGI's take on the Wasp would look like.

After I saw Project Phoenix I came back to MWO from my break sooner that I initially wanted (liked the game, the lack of maps was my main gripe).
Having still great fun with this game and it's improving slowly but surely, but now I have a problem. I invested into Project Phoenix as many of the Unseen designs are my favorites and bar a few exeptions i never liked the other designs that much.
So I really would love to be able to play my Unseen now and not so keen to steer my Hunchback right now.

It's the same difference in geometry as the Founder's 'Mechs have to their standard counterparts. IE, like the Founder's Catapult has a pointed nose instead of a blunt nose, or the Founder's Atlas has a slightly different head than the standard Atlas. It's not likely to be anything major.

Also, I am under the impression that the images we've seen so far are the standard versions, since the first concept art of the first 'mechs (which ended up being the same chassis as the Founder's 'Mechs) were images of the standard variants.

EDIT: Here's a better example. Below are images of the "Standard" and "Founder" Catapults showing the differences in Geometry:

Standard Catapult:


Founder's Catapult:

Nice of you to screw over your Founders by offering an even better deal to new comers. Such shameless business practices behind this game. You already sold a Founders. Now you're basically selling another one; I guess the last one wasn't enough. You're calling it a "prepurchase", which is exactly what the last one was, right before the game released that October. Now you're basically selling another prepurchase package, better than the last one, and re-releasing the game. If you were going to knife your Founders like this; you shouldn't have had that original deal, or you should have just run it now instead of this one. You ripped off your own Founders.

As someone who has a Founders Tag to one who doesn't: In the future speak for yourself, not us, you don't represent us so don't try. Especially if all you're going to do is be completrely and utterly WRONG.

You did not even try to think this through for a second, did you? The most important part about being a founder was to make it possible that there is a MWO! That is the most important thing they (and thanks to them, everyone else) got. All the rest of the stuff - MC, Founder Mechs, closed beta access - are thank-you-gifts added on top of getting a game. The founder program was a fundraiser with added benefits to make a game, not some package to buy a bunch of stuff for a certain price.
