Not really sure where to put this but they apparently put time frame "incentives" on it.

they did for Phoenix, too.

[Thell]

Did they have the incentives on Phoenix immediately or no? I don't remember. Is it safe to assume that you will get these(except the mug) if you bought A La Carte?

[Thell]

Ah ya, I imagine that section would have been a good idea.

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.

well, since it's been a month since the Clan Pack was announced, seems like it's on the same schedule.

Thank you.

My time limited incentive for them is that if they want my money, they better start releasing features rather than/in addition to mechs.

QFT !

So if you've already purchased at least the Uller package you should be getting it all regardless... is that correct?

They don't say if that's the case, if it's retroactive or not?

But looking at it all it's so meh, some premium, then 1 of each cockpit item type and then those garish colours that they painted the clan mechs in...

PS: Why add a coffee mug item to the cockpit when we still don't have mug holders?!

[Chemie]

I liked no incentive since buying now is dumb so I guess it makes sense for PGI to do this. They need you to buy before they even design these things and you need to hope you do not get a bunch of useless mechs or reward them so much that they push CW to the Clan Invasion Number 2 pack.

[Dire Wolfie]

There's one thing I don't quite get, right now it seems that if you pay for the uller, you get all of the above (mug, premium time, hanging....)

But what about social reward? I mean, I'm tempted just to buy the uller (and drop money month by month if i can), but i don't know what the social rewards will bring, and if I just wait for it to show up, if it's already march and Premium time bonus is gone, i won't take it anymore.

Any thoughts?

[Belorion]

The only thing with Phoenix was the premium time bonus...

The phases were added later.

[Unnatural Growth]

So they've announced on the clan page that phoenix (and founders-but I'm not a founder) pack buyers are getting a coffee cup? I really don't understand. I get the cup because I bought the phoenix pack, or I get the cup if I also buy the clan pack?

And we're supposed to buy the clan pack without any details on what we're actually getting? All I know is the clan mechs are going to get nerfed to IS mech levels... No details on clan weapons, hardpoints, engine caps, nothing... no word on the incentives, war horn (wtf is a war horn?), additional modules, ... ?

I don't see the point in buying a clan mech if it's just going to be an IS mech in a clan wrapper. I mean the whole point in the clans, and the "Clan Invasion", is they come back and turn the IS inside out, right?

I need facts. Details. Not convinced any of this is going to end up being worth having at all, let alone for these insane prices.

And no, I'm not just trolling.

Convince me PGI to spend the money, and I'll probably buy a clan pack. But what little info you've released has done more to talk me out of buying, than to talk me into buying.

From what they've said the IS mechs will be the ones that can mix and match armor types/amounts and engine types/sizes but are restricted on hardpoint types. The clan mechs will be restricted on engine size/type and armor amount/type but will be fully modular so any hardpoint can hold any weapon type. The source material supports this because supposedly the weapons of an Omnimech were easy to mix and match but the engines and whatnot were hard wired in so it was very difficult to change those out. And vice versa for battlemechs.

All and all, I think that's not a bad way to go. There would be no point in having created all of the IS mechs if they were going to become worthless. And CW (if it EVER comes out) would suffer greatly because nobody would want to play IS houses if you just got face rolled 100% of the time. Both will have a unique flavor.

I have started a thread asking the devs to Clarify the rewards

http://mwomercs.com/...fy-the-rewards/

we can either merge the threads and i can remove the other, or we can follow both. But i am hoping this issue can be cleared up fast.


But you never know, if you dont get it you might be able to buy it later...

i hope the FAQ gets updated soon...

- I have already pruchased my Clan Package in December, do I still get all the mentioned monthly rewards?
(i assume yes,but a definite answer is apreciated)

- to earn the coffee mug, do you have to own both a founder and a phoenix package? or is only one enough?
(i guess you get one mug per purchased (founder/phoenix) package...so you get two when you have both, but a bit of clarity would be good)

- what is the social reward?

Apparently right now, its a mystery. Communication is good from PGI, dont knock it. but whether the general public can understand it is a different story.

[Rhaythe]

Interesting. I'm still waiting to see how UI2.0 goes before spending a dime, but good on them for making the packages a little more appealing.

[Voivode]

UI 2.0 in six days. Hopefully it opens the floodgates of content like they claim it will.

[luigi256]

Hmm I was holding off on the clan packages until they did more with it. Something like this is exactly what I was looking for. I would even get the Uller package just to get all the extras. The thirty days of extra premium time make it more worth it to me already.
