Hi everyone, and congratz to the Team for reaching Beta finally!

I have a simple question regarding my founders pack. I bought it and i have my Forum account updated showing the change, also my Credit card informed me of the transaction.

But im still waiting for some notification from MWO on my Mail. I expected some instructions ( Maybe a Key? ) or at least a simple notification. Im missing something?

Thank you very much.

Will we be able to get into game and look at Mechs and configuration before Aug7th? What does $80 worth of game currency really mean? How far will it go?

I really hope this works out for everyone. Its fustrating to read through hundreads of posts and see questions not answered and such. As someone who dearly loved everything Battletech since the franchise began in the 80's. I wish this project the best (as all Battletech/Mechwarrior projects).

However, as much as I would love to... I cant see spending this sort of money on a game I have absolutely no clue if its anygood or not. Its great that those of you that have spend your heard earned $$ have a better chance or being in the 2nd beta as you have paid for the privalage. I understand well the financial requirements of such an undertaking.. but im not an investor... and Im not going to gain any profits on the game providing it does well. Im just an old Btech/MW player for most of my life.

Good Luck and best of wishes. I hope to be able to play some day.

When the beta finishes, will I be keeping all the mechs I had purchased in that time regardles of if the prices on them raised/lowered or is everyone going to be rese. I ask this because I don't want to buy elite then spend some of the premium currency on preferred mechs and find out that it was a waste because the beta ending reset all of our accouts.

According to founders page I will have access to early game Aug/07/2012.
If I do not play BETA my premium will begin on Aug/07/12?

how much is the c-bill boost?

When you mouse over it on the package display page, it shows as 50% more (presumably for the months shown).

is there a compelling reason to not just pick the heaviest tank..er mech. This coming from a WoT player where higher weight premium tanks are WAY better than lower weight ones...

The bigger you are, the slower and less manouverable you are. If someone gets in behind you, they can blow away your weak chest armor relatively unmolested. You can only rotate your chest so far so its possible to stay in their deadzone and finish them off. Also having lighter mechs in your unit means you'll get the headup from scouting information sooner so you will know how to lay an ambush.

Being bigger does mean you take more pounding, and can carry more guns to the fight. But if you're dead before you got to use them, its not going to matter.

You cant be happy for helping fund a company and a game? Why ask for more in-game cash? $80 is quite a bit, so if you are not happy with the amount why pay $120 to help the company a bit? I think personally we should have gotten 4 months premium but that's just me. Either way I was eager to drop $120.

This is why I've paid it more than anything. I've loved 'mech games since I was a kid, to see one actually reach my PC again made it worth the price. the value isn't bad either when you work it out, and 4 free stable slots ontop of those 4 mechs.

[Der Basilisk]

Maneuverability aside, fact is the Atlas is the heaviest mech around. I would have liked it more, if it was not one of the four. Instead, thosse who want one should buy them with their C-Bills.

[Der Basilisk]

I have a question about ammo. Will it be possible that, for example, two Streak SRM 2 launcher will share one ton of ammo? This would be weight-efficient. Or HAS every weapon to get its own ton of ammo like in MW4?

Another question: can one weapon use the ammo of another already disabled weapon of the same kind and size, when its own ammo is already depleted?This would help to stay in the field longer.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi Russ,

Do Legendary Founder Pack investors keep their four Founder 'Mechs irrespective of a premium account subscription? I am seeking an official word on this as opposed to hearsay and assumption. My intent was to purchase a Legendary Founder's Pack, enjoy the Pack's 3-month premium account, and then continue playing for free with the Founder 'Mechs without a premium account renewal.

I believe Damadark had the same question (below), but I was unable to find your response to this question in the previous 39 pages of this thread, nor in Crazy Canuck's "Founder's Q&A Compilation."

Damadark, on 19 June 2012 - 10:41 AM, said:

My concern is IF I get the Legendary pack and due to finances had to drop to a regualr account later do you loose the mechs?

Your time and effort is much appreciated.


ANSWERED:
"The value of the Founders Package is that it is a lifetime reward and recognition opportunity. All of the hard currency you get in the product will be yours to spend over the entire lifetime of the product, the Founder’s Tag which will be available on the forums immediately after purchasing your Founder’s Package will mark you uniquely for the entire lifetime of the product. The same can be said for the Founder’s ’Mech’s (playable starting Aug. 7th) -- they will be unique on the battlefield marking you as an original founder of MWO, as well as providing a boost to C-bill earning for the lifetime of the product." - Official Developer Update (Jun 15, 2012)

Since the inception of the Founder's program, I am wondering about this:

Pilot Points that are unlocked in the BattleMech Tech Tree are then assigned to the player’s pilot avatar (MechWarrior).

Those who unlocked one of, or all of the 4 mechs...will they have xp in those trees already, unlocking the ability to use the mechs? Does that also mean they will get the appropriate Pilot points? If not, is the opportunity to gain those points effectively lost? Just wondering if anyone had factored that into the equation because I haven't seen it mentioned.

Put down my money for best pack. I look forward to mech on mech fighting. I have sorely missed giant suits of tech blasting each other while tromping about.

Doesn't the NDA you signed expressly state that you cannot let people know that you are in the Beta? Anyway I believe that they said there will be a wipe when the Founders get early access but there will be no wipes after that.

[Nekemancer]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I was checking out the founders stuff before making the decision to buy, and it ended up keeping my initial selection of Catapult for my one founders mech. I don't mind the Catapult, but would like to have the Atlas instead now that I made the choice to buy in. Is there any way I can change this?
