what happens to the forgotten founders when the game launches?

i think we should get some sort of bonus maybe?

[Sidekick]

I think there will be a short mourning here in the forums and some joyful cheers somewhere in canada.

• we both have this cool badge...

[HammerSwarm]

besides the premium time, in game currency, forum badge, and founders mechs? I dunno I support throwing a camo at you guys but not much else.

lolwut? we got what we paid for, what do you want? a handshake and a "thank you" or what?

I would love to see the Founders get a nice little bit of recognition by having the Founders 'Mechs' c-bill bonuses bumped up to 30% like the Hero and Phoenix 'Mechs, but I doubt this'll happen (I do plan on submitting this proposition as a question in the next Ask the Devs, though - ya never know).

Edit: On a personal note, I don't regret my Founders purchase whatsoever, nor do I think that PGI has abandoned or forgotten about me.

I think the founder's mechs should get the 30% extra c-bills and 10% loyalty bonus to bring them up with the Pheonix Variants.

Edit: Note that I am not a founder. I am not asking this for myself. Founders invested in this game and helped it get off the ground. As the moderators continue to "tinker" with gameplay mechanics, the reward they received should remain relevant (Paying extra for +30% C-Bills and then having C-Bills nerfed 30% ish... is kind of a slap in the face) (I don't think they should get anything better than what everyone else could get but the founder mechs should at LEAST remain relevant whatever the current "meta currency" becomes).

you got what you payed for. why you should get something special? a lot of people have payed lot more and are not founders. and the people bought phoenix package are also a kind of "founders". why are some founders thinking that they are still special only because they have payed an ammount of money long ago... Youre not joint partner because of 60-120 bucks...

[627]

we founders got pampered the whole time, they even made it possible to change our founders colors, we got premium time for free, over two month and we got beta access with lots of comfort. Time to finish this, we'll lauch next week so let it be.

And if you want to do something, give a present to every closed beta participant and not only founders.

[Lord Ikka]

We got our package with Mechs/Premium time/forum icons. If you want something more, pay some more money for something- we don't "deserve" anything special because we bought a Founders pack a year ago.

The Founder Catapult is the most beautifull Mech in the Game - Nobody will have this design for a long, long time... That is special enough

[Heat Seeking Civet]

I'd say i'm content with what the founders have. We got what we paid for, but then they went and RUINED the founders paint jobs on the mechs. I'm still pissed about just how UGLY they look now. The Hunchback doesn't even have a founders PATTERN, it's just brown, and only a single color slot to change.

So to say i'm content with getting what I paid for is a lie, because so far I've had something I paid for taken away.

This ^ 1000 times this.

Maybe even bump it up a notch, to 35% c-bill 15% loyalty on founders mechs. That way everyone else can feel what the founders have been feeling about those bonuses since the YLW came out.

Or slap an XP bonus on them, that would be kick *** And give people a reason to play founders mechs in CW.

A kick in the backside. We are not their target demographic.

Agreed. Founders mechs should get the same bonus as Phoenix mechs, that would be enough to make me happy.

[Risko Vinsheen]

Only thing I haven't received yet is my name in the credits. Everything else I paid for I've gotten. I'll even get an extra trinket in my Project Phoenix pack that I didn't know would be coming when I bought into Founders.

Sure, extra goodies are never a bad thing, but a lot of Founders on this page give the rest of us a bad image.

[Gryphorim]

At most what I'd like, and I'd be happy if they didn't, would be to choose which of my catapults the unique geometry and any bonuses associated gets applied to. Sentinel's 3D models show just how good a CPLT-K2(F) could look.

I brought an iPhone 3 couple years back, does this mean I should be given an iPhone 5 by Apple when it hit the street?
No.

I got everything I paid for on my Founder, well everything except a mention in the credits.

You paid your money and got what you were promised. If you don't like that, too freakin' bad.

Actually both of these statements are patently untrue and if we don't like it we can get the money back. Lucky for the game many Founders are either older players with a bit of cash to burn or are too indolent to bother.

Either way PGI could still find themselves geting an inconvienient truth sent to them post launch. We shall see.

EDIT: I've decided it won't be coming from me, but if anyone else wants to go for it then the law is on your side (fact not speculation... not all of the MWO community are neckbeard basement lurkers... some of us are the nerds that did ok for themselves).
