So when do I get these colors? I guess once this rolls out we'll see a lot of orange mechs running around.

[WM Fochs]

Now I just checked the Project Phoenix area and it says unlocked. The colors are NOT showing in the color mode area of the mech lab.http://mwomercs.com/phoenix

I would assume the colors unlock in the game at the same time the mechs do, what with them being an extra Project Phoenix reward. In other words October 15th.

The colors will be released Oct 15 when everything else from the Project Phoenix package arrives.

Well if it ain't the "loyalty" extras then what is this "now online" thing supposed to mean on the project phoenix front page image?

Also I think I saw some mention of the loyalty program in the patch notes, is all this supposed to be about project phoenix page that was updated yesterday? I'm confused.

buhu,

I am amused that in the patch notes thread, you and your unit are flipping out now. You posted this a scant few hours beforehand.

I would buy this but as someone who solely uses assault class mechs (A typical Davion scout mechwarrior!) its a bit of a dissapointment that I have to buy the most expensive package to get the special assault mech variant.

I like the game, I like what your doing with it, but I'd have preferred this was set up like the founders mechs that you could pick what mechs you got. I'll just have to wait till January and make do with the vanilla variants.

[Nekki Basara]

Well I guess you guys all gotta decide just how loyal you are now.

[WM Fochs]

Well im a pretty easy going type of guy. That being said, if you offer to do something, do it. If you cant don't make a huge thing about doing it when it doesn't happen. I still bought into the package. Im waiting nicely until Oct 15... but I would suggest taking down the huge ad running about the loyalty colors until you CAN do it. just my 2 cents.

"Now Online" means that the additional item has been unlocked with Project Phoenix packages. It's just like Steam unlocks for preorder games. Just because there have been enough preorders for Lost Planet 3 on Steam to unlock the Freedom Fighter Pack doesn't mean you get it right then and there, you have to wait for the package to be released.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, wasn't PGI trying to make some agreement with Steam a while back?

I agree. It would heave been better if PGI allowed the buyer to chose what mech they get. More people would have bought into the program over all if they could chose the mech. The Battlemaster may be the most popular out of the set, but eighty dollars to get one is very steep. It's easier to spend the first or second tier costs. PGI might also get more sales in the long run.

I'm curious if they will update the graphic showing the bar shrinking with all the people asking for a refund after this patch debacle.

assuming all the whiners actualy do AND they give them a refund at all.

Also I'm guessing they aren't posting the actual numbers so that they can ensure the phase 3 is unlocked. This way everyone is happy that paid into the package and PGI gets to say they met their sales goals (whatever those might be). We aren't entitled to know how many packages they have sold or need to sell.

My first thought was.. ..well we want to give this away, but want to sell mechs.. ..so if its not likely to be reached by october maybe we can miff the numbers a little to unlock it for everyone

I was looking at that too, they claim to have released the colors already but I'm not seeing them.

I'm figuring since they didn't put totals they can just reduce the totals they were looking for so it will look like the bar is moving up even if they don't sell anymore. Kind of like how they made the player counter disappear once it started to show a decline. And people say they can't manage a community.

This is really not that hard, people. The exclusive colors for the Phoenix packages come with the exclusive Phoenix 'mechs. The 'mechs don't show up until Oct. 15, therefore the colors don't show up until Oct. 15. If you got a Phoenix package, you get everything Oct. 15.

EDIT: Here's an image, hopefully it's clear enough:

Oct. 15 when all the rest of the Phoenix 'mechs are available for the package purchasers

Err... so what's the point of that whole "Phase 1,2,3 unlocked/locked" countdown on the website?

At first glance this looks like they already *are* unlocked right now, since it says, well, "unlocked" on the site.
