Hi Guys,

I am happy to spend $120 on the game but I dont want four premium mechs I only want the Atlas and Catapault.

Can I buy two copies of the $60 Elite package for a total cost of $120 and pick the Atlas and Catapault and get the other bonuses doubled.

So Elite is

$60 ELITE Founder's Package Includes:
• One exclusive custom “Founder's BattleMech.” This Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster.
• $80 value of in-game currency* for in-game item purchases.
• Two-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster.
• Founder's Tag - sets your status apart from the crowd & get noticed in-game and on the forums.
• Early access to the game along with Founder's assets availability starts August 7th.

If i buy two copies of Elite

2x $60 ELITE Founder's Package Includes:
• Two exclusive custom “Founder's BattleMech.” This Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster.
• $160 value of in-game currency* for in-game item purchases.
• Four-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster.
• Founder's Tag - sets your status apart from the crowd & get noticed in-game and on the forums.
• Early access to the game along with Founder's assets availability starts August 7th.

hmm....you could create two accounts and buy the elite version for each of them?

[Armageddon]

I agree with the spirit of this OP. There should be a 2 Founders Mech version of the packages.

Lol then I would need to play two accounts =P

I play a lot of World of Tanks and found that its impossible to play more than two premium tanks at the same time so having four is overkill for my needs and I would rather have more premium months and ingame currency. Plus I really dislike the Jenner and Hunchback

[Vyviel]

Wow this general section moves so fast!

Has anyone bought two elite packs?

Can it be done? As soon as I find out I will be throwing my money at you =)

I dont get it, the legendary edition is 120, so for the cost of x2 Elite editions you could have legendary and all four...

You should look up dropship play you could use all four mechs in one match

And with quotes like this my Hunchback will ensure you use your whole garage in a dropship match.
See ya on the field.

If he buys 2 Elite Packs, he'll get $160 worth of currency and the 2 mechs he wants. The only thing there, is that it would be $160 over 2 separate accounts.

The point is if I buy two elite editions I get $160 of ingame money and 4 months of premium access. I would rather have this than two mechs I will never drive.

The ingame money can then be used to buy decals special ammo or whatever else they allow and the extra month of premium will help me grind credits a lot more.

You could have 4 'mechs and $80 or 2 'mechs and $160.

I'll take the latter.

[LeTigre]

Sounds like a viable option to me...let's hope the developers and bean counters approve.

[wintercold]

While I am absolutely thrilled with the concept of these founder packs ( I will be getting the Elite pack and that sexy looking Atlas ) , I don't think I am willing to shell out an additional 60 bucks for 3 more mechs and have my name in the game credits.

If PGI can release The Art of Mechwarrior Online along with these founders packs , you can have my 1st unborn child.

Yup thats my point exactly. The ingame currency is what I am after and for a dropship match I am sure I can use two non premium mechs in my dropship they wont all need to be premium.

Is there a support email I could contact to ask someone official about this?

I looked on the site but there are no support contact details anywhere. Just a FAQ section under support.

[xenoglyph]

I'm definitely not upgrading to Legendary...but I'd have a hard time not buying another Elite pack

[Darnos]

This is a very good idea. I'm not so interested in the Legendary edition, because I really want only the Hunchback and the Catapult (that I already own), and I think that with those bonus this pack isn't really worth 120$. 2 Elite packs, instead, would be a good deal.

[Vyviel]

So does anyone have an official answer if we can buy two Elite packs for the same account? =)

I'm from Europe so I can't ask the support for that, but you could try it if you are from USA .

[Aesaar]

If there was a Legendary pack like this, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

[Elianto]

I believe that the value of the legendary pack will be falsed/reduced if they allowed more then 1 elite pack for each user...

Haha yeah I am in Australia so no luck for me either and the receipt email I got for the payment of the Elite account didnt provide any support contact info either other than playspan who wouldn't know.
