I would rather march in founders mechs to protest the pheonix package, and to protest the direction of MWO.

Why would you protest the Phoenix package?

[pinsndneedles]

Yeah... I'm gonna be rocking my Battlemaster all day long.

I like the message except for the "I would like to propose an idea to show these Project Phoenix bros who the true Mechwarrior fans are." You my friend can eat a d$*#. I have been a part of this game as long as anyone yet I dont have founders mechs because I did not deem them a wise investment on a game that was yet to make it out of beta and had no solid indication it would be around for more than a year. The compatition sounds like a lot of fun though and I will being looking for you on the field in my Phoenix mechs.

Can´t wait to slay some phoenix mechs.

Greetings fellow Mechwarriors!

In light of the upcoming release of the so called "Second Founders Project", I would like to propose an idea to show these Project Phoenix bros who the true Mechwarrior fans are.

Basically, I propose that on October 15, Founders solely use their Founder 'Mechs, for the purpose of bagging as many Project Phoenix kills as possible.

Now, don't get the wrong idea. I have nothing against Project Phoenix or anyone who purchases any of the five packages. I will openly admit that I have already purchased the Project Phoenix Overlord package myself and intend to enjoy my new 'Mechs and such, eventually. Likewise, I do not intend this "March of the Founders" to be an act of hate or protest against PGI's Project Phoenix. I simply think it would be really awesome to have a large scale revolution of Founders in a showdown with the inevitable wave of Project Phoenix 'Mechs which will no doubt be flooding the battlefield during and after the project's release day.

In short, I challenge all MWO Founders (including myself) to play on the 15th with only our Founder's 'Mechs and our pride, taking special pride in any Project Phoenix 'Mechs we manage to overcome in the process. For added effect, it would be especially awesome for said Founders to use their original Founder paint jobs.

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions regarding this idea, founder or otherwise, and whether or not they're going to join in. In addition, it would be cool if anyone interested would vote on the poll up at the top of this thread, which will contain some primary opinions regarding the "March of the Founders".

Great idea but alas... I have waited too long to play the new mechs.... I may load up my old hunchie and see how it stands up wot the new mechs though!

[MayGay]

Well bargained and done, I will see you on the field

[Novakaine]

The Raider's wholeheartedly approve this message.

I will join you with my founders mech.

Although I do have the Phoenix Mechs too.

So I held off on my reply to this. I mean as a founder I have your back. We stepped up and helped PGI out so we could get or Battletech/Mechwarrior back. However... This Phoenix Project is not and should never be considered a second founders. Why?

Because this is not for those who missed out on the only MWO Founders package.

No one is getting anything that says "Hey! I was there from the beginning supporting PGI!"

And mostly because this isnt the last bundle sale we will see. There will be many more to come later. I am pretty sure thats why we havent had the clans yet. I am almost certain once they get all they can get from Project Phoenix. PGI will release a similar package deal but with clan mechs. And further more they will probably do the samething but with faction mechs. *Mechs that are specifically developed from Davion, Steiner, Kurita ect ect.

Bottom line:

I could play my founders mechs. I do play them from time to time. And love every minute of it and when I am not dropping in them. I really wish I would. But my other mechs arent going to level or unlock perks by themselves.

Its a good initiative. And I would like to definately see something like this if they were to do like a MWO Release founders titled or any kind of bundle with the "Founders" being in the title. But this particular one isnt. They just created some old school battletech mechs. Bundled them up and stuff a few extra things in the goody back if you preordered.

Got at least 4 in one game with my HBK-4G(F)... Six kills, 3 were battlemasters, one locust. Cored one shadowhawk too, but someone else finished it off. Rest were bit less fun, being an fellow hunchback and jägermech (I have to say I really love killing jägers though). Several other phoenix mechs also fell victim to my Hunchback during other rounds. Quite nice phoenix hunt really. (Best games I've had in ages actually.)

Bagged a quite a few with my Alpha Cat too (2x PPC and 2x AC10)... Locusts seem to go pop especially nicely with it. : )

This isn't even fair, Founders most likely have their efficiencies already unlocked, Phoenix owners don't

I only have my HBK efficiencies unlocked and that has not hampered my gameplay with my other mechs. They are not a crutch - you can play well without them.

[JeffChase]

You'll be meeting the business end of my Battlemaster.

[Poppaukko]

I will be continuing my march of the Phoenix tomorrow, hope to see lots of Founders there.
