You question the status of hell?

I question the status of hell.

The Clanners seem also seem to be the faithful. I don't know why I'm surprised. This is gonna be good.

[GalaxyBluestar]

they've addressed the early bird and value for money issue...

or are they desperate to make a certain sales quota?

you decide.

They did the same thing with the Phoenix package if you did not recall. They have historically sweetened the package deals if you wait long enough. I would not be surprised if we see a clan "Sabre" pack shortly with a Mad Dog and Hellbringer.

just jog my memory did phoenix offer the early bird premium time within a week or so of the original announcement or was it tacked on 6+ weeks after the announcement where sales telemetry starts showing up.


edit; no need someone did it for me.

First off, good catch. You are the first to have informed me.

Second, no the time incentives were not immediately released with the Phoenix package. They were added about a month or so after the initial announcement. As for whether you get it if you buy Ala Carte, ask their support team.

Oh and for things like this that are not in yet, they belong in the Upcoming Features section.

anyways i think this guy says it well enough what the real problems are about.

Nice try with the "new incentives" to buy a package... but as i said several times before... No Infos, no Deal... i honestly don´t care much about a few new cockpititems as long as i don´t know [badword] about WHAT i purchase... one year after open beta time for "Crowdfunding" is way over imho, and thus no more trustful sypathy-purchases like i did with the founders package...

we still don't know for sure what the modules and warhorns etc are and we don't know what deployment of the tech and mechs will be like. money well spent?

So if you buy now you get all monthly rewards? Not sure how else to read this offer...

Maybe I will get the A La Carte Timber Wolf in May... MAYBE.

I think if you wanted the clans and support MWO you should buy the top end package! Even get the $500 gold mech, although I think for $500 that PGI should just throw in the clan package with your golden shower mech!

Expect more features of the clan package to be revealed in the coming months, also be aware that these packages are decided by marketing and business decisions, which means that they more than likely had these features sketched out long before the clan package was even announced. None of this is knee-jerk or a desperate attempt to get more sales.

No seriously? So, tell me, how much loyality points your overlord mechs have brought you by now? And what exactly was the benefit of these medallions you claimed (I got one... its hanging in some cockpit... boosting something... err... invisible?)? Oh, and wtf are loyality points xactly (buy you "stuff" from "factions" is what we heard... when they were announced).

I am neither a white nor a black night, just a player who wants to have fun. And I am willing to throw more money at PGI if I see a game which develops.
By now, I'd bet the 240 from the biggest clan package on:
No one knows {Scrap} about what a "warhorn" will be. It exists in some powerpoint presentation for a CW that we maybe will have one day.
No one knows {Scrap} about "unique bonus modules".

I'll have U.I.2.0 first(and its going to be horrible, I assume, then slowly get better), and a glimpse of the things to come plus an idea of what I am buying. If I like what I see (=no P2W, but cool to brag with, or sth like this^^), I don't mind the money.
If it continues to feel like the next months will be a big fix of "the terrible cockpit glass issue and the dysfunctional U.I.2.0" then I will find much better things to throw the cash at ( a certain women, berghain, a new grinder for my espresso machine...e.g.)...

edit2: reading the words "marketing" and "buisiness" together with "PGI" always makes me smile. I never thought that any "marketing"-experts would really try out the sentence "there is no bad press" 1^^

I don't know what I said to make you mad. I'm simply pointing out a fact. A package deal like project phoenix or the clan package has to go through marketing before it's finalized because you are selling it for real money and not In-Game currency. Just like with project phoenix, the deal got sweeter as time went on, because they had those features ready, but never told you what they were until later on. These extra rewards were more than likely part of the original clan package, they just never announced them til now.

Your post is full of rage, none of it actually relevant to my post.

You're clearly a jaded *****, then...you are in the clan section. Just thought I would point that out. Perhaps consider where you are before you spout off again.

Can someone please tell me why the A La Carte Kit Fox costs $55.00 when the Kit Fox bundle only costs $30.00.

Encouraging you to buy the packs..

At least its better than having a Puma for $150.

*face-palm*

No, you are only paying $30 for the Adder. The other $120 is for the other four mechs that are sold with it. (Also $30 each. )

Edit: If you get this same set-up with the A La Carte packs, you would have to pay $175 over all. ($35 each. )
