I am quite intrigued on what the unique module is. I hope it will not tip the balance even more or this has just become pay to win.

i'd say there'd likely be Clan vs Clan and IS vs IS only game modes so you get a choice

More info, more content before I even contemplate spending more money on this game. I've already spent more than I spent in the entire of last year buying various full, complete games.

Show us you're doing something other than screwing our wallets, PGI, and you'll have some more cash from me.

Although, wtf $500 for ONE mech? I'm sorry, I'd rather buy a car.

Ok, first off PGI have stated that they are not going to be using TT rules for clans, but rather an interpretation of it in the interests of gameplay.

Second, the clans should be OP, thats the point.

3rd, I hate the clans and will fight to the last actuator in my IS mechs in order to look cool

Im done here...

No clues yet on balance issues....we shall have to wait and see I suppose!

But weve all known the Clans were coming at some point, i'm just happy there's a fixed date now!

So this is where they've been putting all the effort that could have gone into making the game more enjoyable to play. After all, how are they going to monetize quality-of-gameplay improvements, eh?

Balance? Look at how much those bloody things cost!

$30 per Mech Chassis? Are you serious?

For a full $240??? I will put the money towards a new video card or buy 4 new games, all of which can be inherently better designed and better balanced.

The amount of monetisation on this is obscene. Actually obscene. It's unethical.

No they wouldn't be asking for $500 dollar gold mech buyers or put the Mad Cat one of the most popular mechs in a $210 dollar package if they had money right now. They are looking for high rollers with this one.

let's spend money on mechs that have no information on them other than the number of variants and pictures of concept art :)

You make me sad. Buying something so grossly overpriced is what's causing PGI to ignore gameplay improvements in favour of heavily-monetized packages. As long as people pay quadruple the price of a retail game for content that will need months of grinding to be competitive, PGI will continue to put actual improvements on the backburner, because obviously making the game itself better doesn't yield nearly the rewards that just making new models does.

Please stop telling PGI to not bother with actually improving the game.

Their success with the phoenix package encouraged the prices.

They need to make all the major core game improvements happen (community warfare, ui2, etc.) happen before june.
