I'd have to say it depends on how muteable the history is going to be really, if clans were available right now I'd probably pick my favorite and run with it, but whether or not I'll choose to change alliegance when the clans begin their incursion I'm not sure, we shall just have to see

[BadOmen555]

As many before me have stated, it depends on the mechanics of the game. I would like to see the game stay true to the original Battletech world (as it seems to be) and see a type of mechanics that involves long hours of tedious grinding and pounding just to get to the higher mechs, ranks, customization,and reputation possibilities. This mechanism works just fine in WOT and other such F2P games.

I'd like to change to play clans, but it will depend on if my normal TT gaming buddies sign up & we form a merc unit or not.
If they do, then I'll stay a Merc.
If I end up going by myself, I'll make the switch when it is open to me.

[Zergax]

Im a Clanner so of course il join the Clans! Clan wolf it will be for me! Or maby.... merc Wolf Dragoons! But hey they both are clanners and if i cant get a cougar a puma or a timberwolf/madcat id do anything for it!
And im not doing it for the tech im doing it for the ideals i love the clan ways!

[Valorcalls]

I'm joining the clans for the Shadow Cat or the Hellhound. If they don't get those two mechs, i'm staying sphere.

[SgtMac]

If Clans, Wolf, or Coyote appear, I'd switch as I played them and Wolf's Dragoons on tabletop. But really depends on the game environment at the time. I'm allready in the Dragoons now.

[Bruticus Stickalot]

tired of hearing about the clans .get over it already they are not in the game .its like a clan fanboy fest

[Reign Death]

Depends: I plan to eventually find a group to stay with so i can grow dependent on people instead of i guess...pugging in with random people. If that group that I do find is Inner Sphere I will stay in the Lance, if they go Clan I will go Star. either way its gonna be fun none the less.

If anyone is looking for a scout I will fill that slot. shoot me a message.

If there was a way to capture or salvage clan tech in the game, then I would not need to switch sides.

[Monsoon]

I'll have to say it'll depend on a few factors.

Even then, I won't switch but hope there is some sort of Isorla mechanic in the game and should I become a bondsmen I'd probably make the switch (preferably to the Jags.)

Then get out of the Clan forum.

Clanners ... munchkins with no sense of humor since the '90s and still going strong.

You liked his post as well; without any indicator of sarcasm, how else am I supposed to take that?

[TehSuper]

I've been a Timber Wolf user for over a decade now and I don't pretend on ever stopping.

[TimberWolfz]

The original poster called Clanners "permamunchkins." I doubt that he intended for the comment to be taken all that seriously, so why should I have to respond sarcastically to a less than serious comment? Hence my comment about Clanners having no sense of humor.

Clantech has been munch since the beginning. BattleTech was always about a dirty and imperfect universe where 'Mechs ached and moaned from decades or even centuries of battle, but the Clans came in and altered far too much about the game. Munchkins could just start with better stats, better 'Mechs, better weapons, etc. MW2 made it worse by introducing people to "BattleTech" in an extremely watered down and noncanonical way.

Old purists may be outnumbered by the munchkins these days, but we can still comfort ourselves by calling you names and laughing more when you fail to have a sense of humor about it. It is what it is.

"When Clans arrive, will you change?"

Yes, I will morph into a Jade Falcon killing machine.

[Hagen von Tronje]

Those canister babes will never see me on their side.
Besides: trade a mother for a MadCat...only a real insane person would do that

Give me a Thunder Hawk or a Nightstar and forget about Daishi and MadCat.
Freeborn an proud of it!

You mean you aren't dying to be part of Clan Hell's Ponies?

In all these years, I've never heard the term 'munchkin' until the last day or two. I've heard of people crying about the Clans before, but I still don't understand the point of trying so hard to offend other people who are here to enjoy the same game as you. The name-calling is pretty juvenile, and really isn't necessary.

Also, if you really can't stand the Clans, why are you spending this much time posting in the Clan forum?
