I'll be gunning for them every game I see one. I wonder how many other will do similarly?

I should buy a gold Daishi/Dire Wolf and name it, "DECOY!"

What could go wrong?

After all, I have a blaze orange Protector.

No. I am secure inthe size of my genetalia, and have no animosity to those whose purchase is funding my game play. Grow up, maybe?

I personally shall be following the golds around and shooting people like the OP in the back while they are distracted by the shiny.

That way I get to bask in the glow of both Bling and Envy.

the difference is some aren't so petty and insecure as to go out of their way to target them. That is simply spite, and potentially detrimental to your team as you are focusing on the Bling, which might not be the actual threat ATM.

It's really not rocket science.

I'm not playing much but I think I'm going to wait a week or two to play after clan mechs come out just to let people get it out of their system.

What I find most humorous about this particular premise is that those goldie whales who thought enough of the game, the Clan assets and the longevity of the game... Not only for themselves but for all players, freeloaders and paying players alike... Are held with such contempt.

Talk about cutting of your nose to spite your face.

Isn't having one humiliating enough?

Im guessing they're all thinking of what the special module will be and less about "helping out the game".

It is just another mech. If on the other team just another hosstile mech to kill. I've got "gold' paint too. Bright yellow on all three color channels and so far no one has tk'd me or tried.

[Heiggwinie Halberstadt]

The Adder Gold pilots should be safe to drive because their mechs are more of a bronze color rather than gold. Easily to mistake them for just being brown.

[Samziel]

So you'd rather lose the game than win it?

Whenever I'm going to see someone that TK's a gold mech, I will take a screenshot (for support) and leg the TK'er.

Let people buy what they want if they have the resources and care only about your own damn business!

(P.S, haven't bought a goldie)

Nice, finally a reason why I should BUY ONE!

[9erRed]

Greetings all,

From the research I have conducted there are few, if not only one organization, that even uses "Gold " as the solid paint scheme. Quite a few units have gold trim elements and accents on there Mech's, but none use it as a prime solid colour. Not even the Clan Khans ornament there Mech's or personnel guard with that as the only colour. So, this is quite a break from Lore and Canon for PGI.

The closest to having most of the Mech painted Gold are references of these two units.

- The Wolf's Dragoons:
The Dragoons prefer bold color schemes that emphasize their presence on the battlefield. Unit aerospace fighters are commonly painted bright "canary" yellow or fiery orange, though the classic red-on-black scheme is still prevalent. BattleMechs are typically painted solid colors; red, gold or black are favored hues.
~ although none of the Dragoons Regiments are actually listed as having Gold as there only prime colour.

- Draconis Combine:
Izanaga Warriors - The Dragons Claw;
Gold paint scheme with black accents, opposite of the regular Otomo.

Now most of this won't make much of a difference as anything out past 500mtrs can barely be identified by it's colour marking's. Unless the graphics detail or the map environment starts using brighter colours and not hues that overcast all the other colours, it will not make much of a difference. Good luck identifying that "Gold" Mech at 1000mtrs, I'll just be more concerned as to if it's an IS or a Clan Mech looking in my direction.
