Really great looking mechs, but I will make do with my Overlord package.
The long wait to actually get the mechs is my reason for not buying, I just don't know if I'm still playing MWO in December, not because of 3rdpv or c-bill nerf, but simply because I never really play any single game for years. Heck I don't even know if i'm still playing when overlord is delivered, but bought it anyway since I have had a ton of fun with the game, 200 hours or something like that, and felt that I could throw $80 PGIs way for that amount of fun, even if I had stopped playing.

milk that alex the cash cow team! Cause you've just confirmed you need it baaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd. guess it's some compensation for when the game gets ripped to shreads adding desperate money grab packages after big fail report gets tacked on to reviews.






crab, king crab, kintaro, cyclopes, panther, rifleman, marauda, war hammer and clans and I might look positively at mwo again... maybe

I am one of the "Haters". Still I like this as I have not lost my sense of humor. Also I just got up so this just worked perfectly . Come on guys he's one of the good folk. He works in the Art department bringing you all those nice looking mechs. It's not like he could do anything about what the design and engineering teams let alone the leads of the team do.

And you have to admit that this is way more funny than Russ' tries at jokes over the past few days.

YOU are a cool guy!

UK player. 1PV only. Age 42. Fave Mech: BJ-1X.

I am also a bit reluctant to buy Saber, having already been sucked into Overlord purchase (UK not eligible for Founders back then). Uneasiness within the community about the game's future, and length of intervening period before delivery are the main contributing factors. Will I still be playing in December?

Plus, I have already spent 4 or 5 times the amount of money I would normally spend on a game, on MWO.

The game needs more content, and not be just about levelling up Mechs to Master, then not using them any more unless you want to pay hard cash to transfer the XP. Achievements and challenges with rewards, that have been mentioned elsewhere, seem to be the way to go. I do like the 2x XP bonus though - encourages the use of Mechs you have not touched for a while.

I don't really do many paint jobs or cockpit items, as I cannot see the point of paying hard cash for graphical embellishments that do not actually help your gameplay. Plus, I tend to sell the Variants I don't like anyway, once I'm beyond Basic on a chassis.

I'd like to be able to sort my Mechs if possible, by weight / chassis, not have them all jumbled up. Is this possible?

I'd like to be able to see my entire inventory, esp engines, not just the ones the current Mech is limited to, so I don't have to swap to another Mech to sell a couple of larger engines, then swap back again. Maybe just have the red text at the bottom saying 'Engine too large' or something like that...?

The ability to sell surplus Standard Armour would also be nice, to get a few C-bills back.

12v12 has given me terrible, game-freezing lag on many occasions, esp during high-speed Light v Light fights, and sometimes when in large groups. Slower Mechs not affected as much, nor when in a Light far away from other players. Any chance of UK or Euro servers at some point?

The patcher needs fixing, as it often insists on downloading the entire client again, following a recent update.

I dunno. I love BattleTech since tabletop pencil & paper days, and played all the MechWarrior games from times past, so I don't want to give up on MWO, but my wallet is not an inexhaustible, bottomless pit of cash.

***SOB***

I got a ear bashing for buying the Pheonix package. So I will penciel in another for when the credit card statment come.

'Yes dear I really do need this' ,' No dear its not a lot of money' , 'yes dear I know the kids need to eat.....'

[UberPotato]

Ok, so after buying the $80 overlord package and then seeing this extra package of mechs I can pay even more for, the first thought in my head was..."Did PGI get bought out by EA?". I hate to seem rude on this, but it feels a bit dirty.

[T Hawk]

Here we go again, people will still buy their ****.

[Tolkien]

I would love to throw money at you for more mechs, but given the deceit and outright lies around 3pv I've already had to force a refund on my overlord package.

If you guys manage to follow through on your word to split the 1pv/3pv queues by launch I intend to re-buy overlord and will consider this.

All the above, and also give us the Marauder II or Marauder.

As soon as you purchase $20.000.000 worth of stuff to cover a huge lawsuit from HG, who keep their dirty mitts on the mad.


geez people, don't want to buy it, then don't buy it.

[Veneroso]

Putting into perspective that these are all "Unseen" mechs, then this is still a good thing. I'd imagine that quite a bit of work was done to add these mechs to the game due to licensing reasons. The cost will help recoup those fees. And yes, I also want to see the Marauder mechs.

This one is on hold for me.


I want to see more tangible progress on UI2.0, weapon balance and CW before shelling out more money.

I basically agree with these two at the moment.

I bought Overlord, but I'm not ready to plunk down more because chances are you'll just put (insert other Unseen returning) in yet another package. Add these guys to the earlier packages or just make them their own package which doesn't require purchasing another one and then I would be interested.

A package to buy a package is horrible. Don't get me wrong, the Mechs are freaking beautiful. I'm depressed and excited over this news.

I purchased the Overlord Phoenix package. This "addon" seems ill-timed as we have not received the original goods yet. No offense, but my faith only goes so far. Sitting on two promised, but not yet delivered content packages is a bit too much risk for me.

I think I will hold off until we receive the content from the Phoenix Package and I can get a good sense of what my original $80 got me...

I could not say it better, normal I would not use an entire quote but in this case it hit it on the head. would also like more details on the 2 new mechs, did I miss the load out ? IS that posted somewhere?

[T Hawk]

Development is focused on what earns them the most dollars in the quickest way. I can not see an intention in making a great game for everyone anymore. It's a bit depressing, given that we've been waiting for the Orion to arrive for months now but oh well...

[Mr D One]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah.....

Cha-ching.

Sold my copy of GTA 5, and other over hyped PC games to pay for this.

I will never ever buy a new Mech with C-Bills again...oh my...too many XL's, ES's, DHS's and ER's to buy not mention the time to Master them all

[Moonsavage]

Game's still a tech-demo. I would like to see more interesting game modes, rather than "Pound senselessly at eachother until the side with the longest boredom tolerance (patience) wins by default.
