I really like this model that PGI has created with offering the Hero for MC first, then waiting a week and releasing all standard variants for MC, then waiting another week to release all standard variants for C-Bills. It allows PGI to generate some extra income without hurting the F2P player base.

I got me a Protector, so I am gonna wait a week for the C-Bill variants to master mah Mech out!

[eyeofjudgement]

i got myself the cheapest variant and i have to say its fun,nice damage output . i will play this one before upgrading it etc

[The pessimistic optimist]

WTF why dose Orion M not have ECM? If DDC can have ECM Orion M can have ECM PGI come on!

I splurged on the Protector and now I'm going to buy ONE for MC...the ON1-VA. I spend too much money on this game!

Breached 600 yet? I did. Though I'm hesitant to put up more until I see if Paul's going to continue using exclusively his heat scale, or if he'll actually fix the source of the high alpha, high amount of fire issue (i.e. our insanely higher than MW4 thresholds depending on how many heatsinks you shove in).

Also looking forward to see if they put third person's crosshair into first person to help with pinpoint issues.

(Vid's uploading, but it compares them).

If it weren't a numbers issue (i.e. it's easier to finish the hero and slap it up first), I'd prefer standard mechs for , then for , and the hero in that order, so we don't have so many heroes around.

Meh, I'm not too concerned over it, Hero Mech is literally, just the flavor of the week. When standard variants are released for cbills you'll see a helluva lot less heroes from then on.

[Monsoon]

Well, partly that'll be because everyone is leveling their variants, to unlock Elite.

I actually like this approach. I can wait, but let the ppl who can't, pay real cash! To play it ONE WEEK early!

[CycKath]

Definitely a good example of pay for sooner/convenience.

[Mad Cow Jenkins]

If they really wanted to sweeten the deal, they should actually give a cbill bonus to the nonhero mechs while the week lasts, double up to pay for the changes you make

BTW it looks like they decided to copy MWO business model - in recent 0.8.8 patch released today they introduced a ton of bugs and nerfed everything to hell (especially my beloved Germans) with people losing some valuable in-game assets.

Yeah I've seen that, Oh well I call MWO World of mechs already so may as well be shared. I just got a 30.01H to. Oh well... such is life. Pick your poison I suppose lol.

Well, now we know what will be added to the game for release.

LMAO.

[Damian Frost]

Been having a blast with the Protector, must hold out another week to get other variants for CBills.

Great now I can get all three and have them ready for CM and UI2.0 come launch... oh wait... yeah nevermind. Oh well back to world of tanks... sides I'd have to reinstall the game to patch it anyhow.

Very unsuccessful machine. The central torso section is so big that it is necessary to paint a target circle. Survivability is much lower than 60-65 t Mechs. Piece of junk.

That's unfair. It won't be just the word ''beta''...

Is it sad that it took me about 3 minutes to figure out what else was changing in that image Appogee?

Nah, the sad thing is that only three things change in that image :-).
