I always appreciate getting more... but this sounds almost to me like... you aren't getting enough sales, or people are asking for refunds and you need to stop the bleeding with some sort of incentive....

Im thinking the exact same thing. The satate of tye game right now and the fact they keep messing stuf up (cbill nerf most recent) has made me not want to spend another penny on this game. And I had been waiting for a dbl xp conversion weekend too. Oh well I have other stuff to spend my money on.

That is probably what's happening.

The colours and patterns look really good . I just hope the Thunderbolt isn't as "thick" as it looks in the picture. Keep up the good work guys .

[BR0WN_H0RN3T]

Wow, Grey, Black and Red colours. That's cool. Just what every PC Gamer needs.

EDIT: Hey PGI, how about showing the community some loyalty and fix the bugs, K?

And the best part is that they haven’t even finished them yet. I have 4 Founders Mechs that don't match. Been that way for months now. I can't help but think this is to divert attention away from the horrible C-bill nerf. I still remember PGI... I will always remember.

Try reading...there is no C-Bill nerf. They're introducing new rewards that will make up for the lost C-Bill, and as for now they're leaving it as is, because they're doing metrics on how we are earning C-Bill in the current setup. All perfectly acceptable, you know considering we're still in BETA...

I'm amazed with the P@@S poor attitude some people are showing for these new bonuses. Sure they're not HUGE, but PGI had zero obligation to do anything more, but did so anyway. Grow-up.

Also, for those complaining about the similarity to the PC Gamer colours, stop being so selfish and remember not everyone has the PC Gamer colours. There will be plenty of people who don't have a Red, Black or Grey/White at all and this will be new to them. Even then it's nice to have the same colours but in different hues or different levels of saturation or brightness.

they are. I don't know what is more sad, them re-hashing them here, or the fact that they screwed over all the PC gamer color owners by changing the actual black camo into the PC Gamer black, leaving a lot of people with duplicates of the exact same black.

The blacks are slightly different.

Is it just me, or are these the PC Gamer skin colors?

The Grey looks more yellow than the PC Gamer one. The Red is more tomato looking than the PC Gamer one. Can't tell on the black.

The folks responsible for bug fixes != to the folks responsible for putting these mechs into place. And as has been stated by a few already, there were a number of people who didn't get the PC Gamer colors, so why begrudge those that didn't get that chance the opportunity for more colors?

I haven't unlocked any colors....so I appreciate this. I think a better idea might be to let people choose three colors they like though. Some people would've bought colors very similar to them and then you have the pc gamer colors that are similar.

That (almost) Skull Leader paint job.
If these mechs are Reseen from Macross, it would have been a very ballsy move.

Damnit! I knew I should have bought some yellow while it was on sale.

I hope it doesn't actually imply different hitboxes... because those are the things that would get people upset.

Hopefully it's just the minor details like the nose cone on the Catapults and stuff (normal vs. founders).

Good one, thanks.
It's always appreciated when we get surprise freebies

I've not seen a C-bill nerf. I have seen my c-bills go up in matches where I got in and did my best though. If I just sat back and took potshots, I get next to nothing.

Perhaps that's what's going on. Incentives to getting in and doing some dirty work.

[Capt Jester]

I searched the FAQ but did not find anything on exactly when we get these colors. Does anyone have any intel on this?

[Drake67]

On the second tier why not just a phoenix medallion it would unique. The paint jobs are awesome. One thing that bothers me is the load outs, the locusts loadout will regulate it to mothballs for me right after I get basic. It would be nice if say we had a phoenix slot and choose which locust we want. I have been stuck with the hunchback 4g and I detest that mech I would much rather have the 4sp.

Well these are solid rewards. But the best thing to come out of this announcement is the standard variant's we'll be getting. Time for Smurfy and Oosiks to update their mech labs!

[Flying Judgement]

Just this...
