I love the art, it's the best Battletech has ever seen. Excellent work there Alex, you are quite amazing my friend.

EXCEPT, DEZGRA, you forget that PGI "ASKED" us for our feedback in this thread. No one asked you for your opinion on our feedback. [redacted]

Then why did you have multiple responses to the single announcement? Your ultimate feedback was provided in your very first post right?

PGI asked once.

So, if these Clan Mechs are "variants" and not Omnimechs does this mean a year from now you will release a Clan Mech package with Omni hardpoints? And will that package be:

We can hope right!

Hey PGI, please explain why an Omni mech needs variants.

I hope by "variant" they mean paint color.

LOL who the hell is going to spend money on more mechs, when we don't even have the proper game mechanics after all this time. Nope, $240 buys a lot of shinys at Star Citizen.

Who has two thumbs, owns all current mechs and is getting the top tier and a golden mech?

THIS GUY!

[Trebond Wilson II]

this is just sad. earn some trust back first, pgi! then ask for money.

ya its very good

Wow, insanely high priced packages. I already spent quite a bit of money already on founder and phoenix project. The money spent was an investment showing my faith and belief in a game that I would enjoy.

And I have already had loads of fun in spite of some minor problems--I think PGI has put a lot of effort to address game balance issues, performance and graphics. It's pretty amazing the progress they set so far.

But I'm disappointed to NOT see the huge game mechanics that would make the game more immersive and fun--UI 2 and CW. More high priced mechs just adds more of the same 'ho-hum' and it's getting a little old....

At least fix more issues--like still getting stuck in maps or poor hit detection.

My initial thoughts, plus a couple of questions.
On the mechs:

1). The Clan mechs look incredible, excellent work on the art.
2). I can totally understand the Clan tech "nerf" to keep the game balanced, and to be honest was kind of expecting it (not to mention, I'm a Spheroid through and through, so it kind of works in my favor ).
3). For the sheer number of mechs and such you get, I don't think the $240 is too unreasonable necessarily, though I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around the $500 price tag on the Gold pack.
4). If the Gold packs truly are limited, is there anyone out there that doesn't think the Timber Wolf pack sells out first?
5). Conversely, is there any actual danger of the Gold Stormcrow pack, for example, selling out before the deadline?
6). Okay, I'm kidding a bit on those last two, but still.
7). I honestly think I might try to scrounge up enough for the Masakari pack at some point (sorry, I think the Gold ones are just too rich for my blood here), but I'll intend to pilot them as "salvaged" Clan tech while proudly flying my Davion banner.

Okay, on a slightly more serious note, some actual concerns around things that are pretty dear to my heart, that I've been waiting rather eagerly for.

1). Does this mean we aren't going to get even a glimmer of time spent in an honest to God "Succession Wars" era, and will just be thrown in to the Clan Invasion shortly after Community Warfare is added, or even more potentially disappointingly, along with the addition of CW?
2). Seriously. Just thinking about that makes me sad, since I really wanted some game time to devote to fanatically battling the Concord of Kapteyn Houses with my FedCom allies, before being thrown into begrudgingly allying with them to throw back the Clanners.
3). When all is said and done, I love this IP, this setting, and this game way too much to ragequit or anything of the sort, but I will feel a bit of loss if the above ends up being the case.

Wrapping this all up, overall, the Clan stuff looks cool, and the game is fun, so keep up the good work, and if that good work includes a "Succession Wars mode" or something, I will be completely and totally giddy. Just saying.

Lol get real. These prices are ridiculous.

Desperation speaks volumes.

This is a ***** joke or what ? $500 ?? for a partially release game ? with like what 8 maps, 2 game mode, no CW !! WTF ?

What are you talking about? I've been involved in brutal planetary warfare for nearly a year at this point, organizing my unit into dropships bound for territory far and wide as we fight to push back a Davion incursion. This all started in February of 2013, where have you been?

A loaf of bread in 2002 cost 1.14 to 1.50 according to google and the average cost of bread now is $78.50

And if I had to live on that Bread, apparently like these players need to live on these Mechs, then that cost would be fair enough, right?

[Lovable Keko]

Although more mechs are nice, this is a blatant disregard for the well being of the game as a whole. What good are clan mechs if i don't have worlds do defend them from. What good are new ways of killing my enemies, if I have no reason to do so. Community warfare needed to be released, established, and solidified before we even got a glimpse of clans. A poor descision in my opinion.

I would consider this if I had game lobbies and U.I. 2.0, however as neither are there, I have to shake my head and continue to cross my fingers next month things change.

I'm with the "vocal minority" on this one. Give us reasons to keep funding you please, I love the game, I do not want to see it die. Breath life into it again, then offer us cool deals like this.

Jokes on pgi, I could by a gold mad cat and it'd still probably not cover my tab from the launch party
