So you spent 500 bucks just because you can even though there is little value in it? How will you feel if the game gets shut down? I bought the masakari package that at least has some decent value in it, my time for one thing I dont have time all day to grind cbills I got into this game for the clans personally.

If I see a gold enemy though oh you bet he will be ganged up on probably even if it means losing at least he died lol

I take it you have a decent career though, I can easily afford the gold mech hell I can buy all of them but that would leave me pretty broke afterwards, got a house, cars to feed, and a kid on the way fairly soon so I rather spend money on them than a gold mech with almost no real value. If it came with an actual model of the mech with gold say almost a foot tall I'd say you got a damn good deal then but nope.

Still thanks for being one of the whales that spends high amount on a game with precious little but it's still fun and better than any other mech game out there...well I dont know of any others besides hawken.

Chrome hounds...now that was a mech game with huge potential. Stupid sega I really hope they someday just burn to the ground bunch of sell outs.

Really seems like we should be able to get the extras with the a la carte option.

Defeats the purpose of the packs then.

What's the problem with that? You could buy 5 mechs and pay just as much as the Puma pack costs, but you would only get the mechs. They could also charge $10 or something to add the extras to an a la carte purchase.

This has been the business model since Founders pack. Players should be happy PGI gave Ala carte. This is due to the people who just wanted a Timber Wolf. To get the bonuses and the timber wolf you need to shell out some cash. Otherwise a number of chassis would not get purchased as often due to our players wanting specific chassis.

Well, they could just not make chassis that no one wants.

In fairness... That would leave like what zero mechs?

I understand your being snarky and having said that I can agree for whatever reason PGI tries to be avant garde with some of their mech selections...

But honestly, I don't think there is one mech in the entire stable everyone will agree on.

Need more info on what warhorns actually are and what the bonus mods you get will be.

Those bonus mods are going to be an extra module slot that you can put on one of your clan mechs.

Could you source that, please? I don't pay attention to NGNG, if that's where it was.
As far as I know nothing definitive has been said.

[LiGhtningFF13]

Too bad, there's no Vulture available, will this variant come, or will there be even an expansion package for the Clans like it was the case with our phoenix mechs?!

The reason we havent heard what those things do is probably because IGP is pressuring PGI to go to a PTW model.

It is a surprise!

[Shalune]

Some of the options have me mildly curious. I'm really hesitant though at the current prices. I don't expect those to change, but would at least want to know all the details of the hero mechs before committing. Until I know exactly what I'm buying I don't feel I can make an informed decision.

Particularly which hardpoints are tied to omnipods?

What variants' omnipods will be available?

Are the aspects of clan design discussed in the previous post locked in for launch? It's always difficult to tell if 'subject to change' warnings are a formality, or represent a more genuine possibility.

PGI should feel the same way about players spending money. You can look at the Social Progress and see how well they are doing. Last time around when the Phoenix packages were put out we were in the final phase. This time around it has been hovering in the 2nd box.

I hope PGI if paying attention.
