What is up with unique modules or your Gold 500 dollar mechs? that is pay to win and not only that your prices are so high and outragous at this point this announcement did more to upset me then get me hyped about MWO.

Technically, a Gold paint job that is cameo in NO map is not pay to win.

However, it is kinda dumb. I mean, it's a gimmick, ok, show off how cool you are with a Gold mech.....but making a mech gold in game costs literally next to if not nothing......making it a $260 premium (more than the actual package itself in fact) is just.......seriously???

Didn't see ANYTHING in the FAQ about how Clan tech will actually WORK. I don't comb the forums every single day but last I heard it was going to be "balanced" with IS tech.........

So, the assumption is we will put down up to $500 for something we don't even know how it will work....AND while we are still staring down the barrel of a 'buggy' UI2.0 still not out yet several weeks after it's promised delivery date.

I've been nothing but a cheerleader and defender (and major paying customer, even bought the biggest MC pack during the black friday sale!!!!) of this game and it's snail's pace development.......but I have to draw the line somewhere......there's no way I am paying $500 for gold pixels in a game (you send me a gold plated statue in real life we'll talk) and not paying a DIME more until we get at least SOMETHING we have been promised to show this game is and will be more than just assault deathmatches Ad nauseam.

Or was it the reason we left ?

The Game or the Forums... oh wait!

[Viges]

Khaaaaaaaan!!!

[Khan Sparhawk]

Or have I been stunned into some kind off
temporary insanity were I really am a clan pilot. ????
Still a lot off things to be delivered before I spend any more money on this game and then personaly I think the clans should not even have been introduced untill CW was up and running

The more I read, the more curious I become.

They are not forcing anyone to buy these packages, but here are dozens upon dozens of people angry about it, and people saying they will leave the game.

There was even a poll a long time ago requesting a Clan package and how many people would support it, I supported it, and I bought into every package since the Founders.

Don't hate on them for offering packages, it isn't justified, it's a way to generate income.



I prefer the word "tart". Destined introduced me to it.

No matter how terrible PGI is. Someone will step up to white knight.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

I like the looks. But that is a whole lot of money. I need to know more about them and how nerfed they are going to be before i pay to play them.

Really, I am not joking. engine stats, heat sink are going to be 2 slot doubles for sure. better range and less heat on weapons.

The works.

[Raven Blackthorne]

Personally (high price aside) I think PGI is making a mistake having Clan Mechs able to be purchased at all. It's going to seriously reduce the longevity of this game...as in "What can they do to top it?" What they should/should've done was initially have the Clans as non-player OPFOR and allow players to accumulate salvage in order to piece together clan tech for themselves. Sure it invites the "Phat Lewtz" aspect to the game, but it's actually more realistic. Not to mention it could be a basis for a player driven economy (black market anyone?). It would also force players to be more selective with their targets so as to not destroy components they want for salvage.
Don't get me wrong, I want Clan Tech as much as the next guy, but I'd also like a game that gives me something to work toward/look forward to. Allowing players to purchase this stuff now (even 6 months from now) is an all around bad move.

[Hellcat420]

lol a super cashgrab instead of fixing the broken things in this game and getting the promised yet long absent stuff added to the game? no thanks. ill spend my money elsewhere.

Does anyone still play MW4? Maybe we should get its servers back up.

A few of us were playing a bit of MW2 a while back. It's still fun.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

I do not have problem drop 10$ per mech and there are actualy all my Clan favourites so I probably buy at least 150$ pack for Puma,Daishi,Thor and Uller.
I have money for 240$ pack but now I have problem to buy even 30$ pack and it is not bcuz of UI 2.0 or CW...but I just do not know if I will be able to use Clan mechs as IS mercenary,I do not know how clantech will work(CES,CFF,all Clan weapons,omnislots,engines...and so on).I was able to accept it in phoenix pack bcuz we all knew which weapons/upgrades/w/e we use but now info about it sux...

PS:500$ for 1 mech is rly too much sry :x .

[AidenDark]

Fool me once (Founders Package) Shame on you. Fool me twice (Phoenix) Shame on me. Fool me three times, call me a sheep.

I bought the founders pack way back because I saw promise in this game. I bought the Phoenix pack because I still held some hope the glaring issues with the game would be addressed. I saw this and my last bit of hope for this game has died.

All I've seen every time I open the launcher and update is sales on premium content and how another premium mech is being added in instead of anything being fixed. Now there is this obvious cash grab? Sorry but I've already got more buyers remorse in this game then I'd like so I'll go back to waiting for someone to deliver a complete battletech game instead of the farce this has turned into.

Good day.

Then don't play Clan.

But everyone else will have Clan mechs. These are not going to be exclusive to the clan factions. Marik vs Steiner with Mad Cats.


Man, MW:O's economy is totally messed up. Right now the most expensive ballistic is the LBX-10, and now we are going to get these super Clan mechs that will allegedly be balanced vs IS mechs. But then why are they going to be so much more expensive? (Based on the fact that they have used pretty much standard BT pricing for everything so far).

It's really far from a good deal if you look at what you are buying into as far as the game and developer is concerned. No CW, No new game modes worth a damn really, No UI 2.0 or a UI 2.0 worth anything. The only good thing is the art design of the mechs themselves. I would rather spend $240 for Alex to design me a Timber Wolf miniature or small scale than pay $240 for a bunch of useless mechs more or less and one that I actually want. That's the whole point of this, the whole reason why those really sought after mechs are sitting behind outrageous prices. So they can try to sell you on the supposed "value" you're getting with the pack. It's marketing BS and I don't think too many people are buying it.

No amount of post deleting is going to save you from this.

It would be a neat way to trim out the negative comments AND cut the number of pages of feedback to about 1 from 21

Well, I guess I'll wait till the next MechWarrior game. I fear I will be waiting quite a while.
