Alright sassy cat.


If you don't mind I'd like to clarify really quickly that birds are the gimmick selected for this game; we're using cats as our tentative gimmick for Star Citizen. Thanks for your time!

He can do the head thing better than a cat. And in 360 degrees!

Happy owner of a free flame pattern for 6 different Mech chassis that I didn't have to pay directly for considering I bought the Phoenix package before any of the stretch goals were introduced. As well as colors for all of my mechs and the medallions.

I feel like some folks here want to argue or complain for the sake of arguing and complaining at times and to get others riled up in the process. Then again, maybe my tinfoil hat is a bit too tight and I don't know what's going on. Either way, I'll continue having fun with the game.

Something on topic.
I'm very excited to get this flame-pattern for some of my new mechs for free, but I'm also very pleased about the rest of the (still playing) community that they'll have the possibility to get this damn good looking pattern, too!
I think it's just fair.

I love how we get no official response, but the admins have now joined our conversation because there's nothing else exciting going on in the mwo forums.

Actually could we get a screen cap with the Flame pattern on a Battlemaster using Black-Red-Yellow/Orange colors?

I don't have any special access or anything, but someone did post this. I imagine it came from twitter or something like that.

This argument is lame.

Is the flame pattern going to count for the sabre reinforcements?

Confirmed on Bryan Ekman's twitter account, yes it is.

So that's a 1250MC unlock for each of 6 chassis, 7500MC worth of freebies. Awesome.

Holy Useless Swirly Poopstorm, Batman! The dev's have officially responded, on twitter, in a fashion that leads me to suggest they had no clue that the poorly chosen wording on the stretch goal page would cause such outrage. There is no grand conspiracy here. (Well... PGI May or may not have conspired to shut down he US government, but I can't prove that, since they refuse to negotiate...)

It's clear by Brian Eckman's tweet (would have been nice for *some* kind of "Nice work, Phoenix backers, you've unlocked the stretch goals!" somewhere on the mwo site. Just sayin'...), that the intent of the stretch goal was:

"We're introducing a new pattern on the 15th. If we hit our sales goal, all Phoenix buyers get that pattern for their standard variant Phoenix chassis for free."

Someone at PGI chose a very poor use of the word "exclusive", because it was never intended to apply to the flame pattern. "Free" was intended to apply, and does. This is an added bonus of vanity content that backers don't have to purchase for the (non-Phoenix variant) Phoenix chassis that they bought. That's it. No bait and switch, no mind change, noing more that a horribly bad word choice and a heaping helping of "blown out of proportion."

On a side note, I can't decide if I'm excited for the 2x XP weekend now, to top off my current mechs before Phoenix drops next week, or if I really wished they would have saved the event for after they dropped. Either way, I'm looking forward to a stable full of new mechs to mess with and show off my fantastically poor piloting skills in. Cheers!

RE: exclusive
I'm cool with flame being available to all, those poor artist/modelers assets should reach the widest audience possible and continue to generate revenue, adapting it to each mech and variation can't be easy fast or fun, it was free bonus t phoenix purchasers andwas never a sure thing (till a few days ago) the pettiness of some post, dang it I like reading the forum but not those posts I must reply... :blink: :facepalm: :doublefacepalm: :footmouth:

PS. Where's the mech merch? Coffee mugs, statues/models, body pillow case? 8D
