I see they got PGI staff hard at work putting a positive spin on this tread.

TL;DR: No additional money from me, won't buy Saber addon.

Longer Text: Hmm, seems I will have to just aim for the Griffin's RT to leave it completely helpless after the RT is destroyed. I start to like the Griffin ... as a thankful priority-target ^^

Sorry, PGI - I already hate myself (and my wallet actually hates ME) because I bought the Legendary Founder's Package AND ordered the overlord tier - without having a *real game* so far! (a real game includes to me a.) CW b.) more kinds of missions than just two - let us destroy/guard some industrial facilities at least - or protect a convoy. There are many BT-games that could be lurked at in order to give MWO some more "spice" ... )

But I have to admit, that I would become weak, if an offer would include an (unseen) Marauder ...

[SovietArmada]

Meh, no thank you. I bought the overlord package for one reason, 120 day premium, and 8 free mech bays, and 4 mechs with c-bill bonus were just an extra in my eyes.

Now 4 extra new mech bays not worth the $30, I'll live with the standard variants.

The Wolverine lost it's lunchbox. This is completely unacceptable!

I call cash grab.

And for those who say they look good, yeah ... that's just concept art.

No CW, No Lobby, No 1^st person only drops, Hit detection still bad, releasing mechs with major hit box issues, crazy monkey patches to make up for broken game mechanics (magic heat and desync pause) . and you’ve got your hand out again? To many Phoenix cancellations over 3pv? We esently have the same game we started with in closed beta with a couple maps and a few more mechs. Well thats not entirely true at some points in closed beta the game was actually balanced.

this is sly. i have to applaud the creativity of this tactic. wont work on me but im sure you guys will dupe a few folks to recoup some of those refund losses. well played worthy adversary

I really want that Griffon!

[BoneInspector]

Too much too soon for me.
Feels like a money grab this one, really poor timing given the last couple of weeks.

I really hope I can feel better about the future of the game before the promotion ends. I want to throw money at the game, but it's a tough sell with the current community management.

Damn, you summed up my thoughts perfectly - only I'm feeling this way about more than just this promotion,

When Project Phoenix was announced there was an NGNG interview and they said that they were in the works trying to get OK'd for the Griffin and Wolverine, too. Looks like they got the OK.

Heeeeey

Is it too much to ask for some Medallions with the Saber Reinforcement?

It's why the package is $30 and not $40 (Half of Overlord for half the mechs).

Be happy theres a game of MechWarrior, instead of none! But I do see your point.

Selling things people want == money grab? Is filling your car with gas a money grab? Is everything on the shelf a money grab when you waltz into wal-mart? PGI is not a not-for-profit organization.

[Airborne Thunder]

May I suggest that before PGI goes on creating new Project Phoenix mechs they might take a little time to finish the Founders mech paint job makeovers that they seemed to have forgotten about halfway through the process. That would be nice.

He wasn't talking about this game that is under a month away from being live. He was talking about that other one that is 2 years out from anything decent if ever. Or maybe the other game that threw a mech in that looks like a stick figure compared to these. I could go on. But I wont

[Monsoon]

This was another super easy purchase for me! Griffin!!! Wolverine!!!

Let the Haters, hate. Me, I'm gonna count the days until December 17th!


P.S. If there's one thing I need to mention, why no GRF-2N?! I would love a 55-tonner with ECM!
Besides the 3M is pretty much an upgraded 1N, with the same (TableTop) hardpoints.

Might I suggest they win back the players that have left with less gimmicks and more integrity.

If that is even possible without a complete management change.

Hey, I've been wrong before. Lots of times even.

[Lord Perversor]

Soo going to call my Griffin Mr. Bubbles....

[Vexidious]

This reinforcement thing is really kind of odd. Why do this before delivering the other mechs? Why do this before the official launch of the game, which is right around the corner? Why add two more 55 ton mechs, when medium mechs are not that great for the current game modes?

At any rate, I'm going to wait for the release before giving PGI more money. If they release on schedule with most of the features (including UI2.0 and CW), get their 3PV fiasco sorted, and give me reason to want to pilot a medium mech, then I will consider giving them more money. Until then, my wallet is closed.
