I am hoping they release for realzies on April 1st. It would be a great conclusion for this grand thread that has been kept alive for so long by us.

Chicks dig unique geometry?

That's not what my girlfriend said. She said she doesn't want to play MW: O with me until I am driving a Hatamoto Chi with a sword.

and I do not even like that mech or expect it to have a sword when it... ever... comes out.

Let me quote a pink fluffy cartoon dog that only kids of the 90's will know.
"The things I do for love"


Anyway... Urbie is coming in his own pack?... fantastic... I hate to see that news because I can't buy packs for MC or gift cards.

I am practically running around begging with an old paper cup for the panther pack and failed to do it for clan wave 1 pack and promise the equivalent in steam games later on... No one takes my offer... I curse the day PGI decided that gift cards can't gift people in MW: O or get packs.

All those karma koin sales and stuff and you can't buy any pack for karma koin...

Russ alluded in a Town Hall a while back that they were moving away from individual releases, and would be releasing packs from now on. It was not definitive, but that was the gist of his comments.

He actually said in the last town hall that individual mech sales will still be around. But they will be more like the vindicator and King crab where they act as gap fillers in between pack releases.

Which makes more sense given Battletech's line up. Mechs in battletech aren't arranged in tidy, evenly distributed "light, medium, heavy, assault" bundles as they would need them to be. Battletech has a HUGE amount of medium mechs, a slightly low amount of light mechs, and a fairly even distribution on heavies and assaults that is complicated in 3050 given how many IS heavies are branded as unseen. Which makes mediums and assaults suddenly a bit top heavy compared to the other chassis'.

Packs make sense, and I'm not going to be-grudge them their means of creating revenue for themselves to further develop the game, but they are going to have to keep the individual mech releases there otherwise they are going to run out of light mechs to bundle quick. Or simply accept that a mass amount of medium mechs will never see the light of day in MWO because they can't bundle them with other chassis'.

<sobs> so yesterday i brought spider-urbie out again for a couple matches. this one on tourmaline, one guy complaining about our lights running into traps and getting killed and not protecting the heavies- needles to say he was probably dead at this point. fairly close match the whole way. spider-urbie slays a mighty raven early on and moseying along taking ac10 potshots at anything that came near minding it's own business. then when it's 4-3 left our favor the guy must have finally made it's way over to spectate me and meanly says "why the hell do you have an ac10 on a spider." at that very moment i took off the side torso of an atlas and quickly type back as i wander to safer ground (everyone kept shooting at me for some reason...) "spider urbie"

think he made some other comment after that didn't know because i was busy taking out the rear armor on a stormcrow and killing it while it shot something else. now 3 of us vs one jenner, jenner tries to flee, boom ac10 round takes out it's leg but i couldn;t get the kill. spider urbie- 2 kills, 6 assists, 248 dmg. 1 round of ac 10 ammo left. guy who dared question the might of spider-urbie- under 200 dmg 0 kills , couple assists.

side note- i find i seem to hit legs on lights much better in lights mechs with less weapons than i do in my multi-lasers bigger weight classed mechs. maybe because i only have to lead without worrying about lowering my aim at the same time.

2015 the year of the urbie

urbie urbie urbie

[Nightshade24]

I swear. we should be allowed to go buy the pre order packs for MC.... This would solve most payment problems with the game...

[3xnihilo]

Urbie, oh Urbie, wherefore art thou Urbie?

[IraqiWalker]

Honestly, I want one really bad now. Light mechs that move slow and carry massive guns can really work here.

I can't believe this thread is at 84 pages.

I also can't believe we still don't have an Urbanmech. It's like the easieet mech to design, and code. Here, I'll show you:

that concept lacks feet, let me improve it

I bow to your wisdom

[Dawnstealer]

I picked up the Resistance Pack solely because of the Zeus and I'd likely do the same for the Urbanmech. However, beyond those two mechs, there aren't many I'd pay a "pack-rate" for.

Hatchetman? Yeah.

Cyclops? Maybe.

Beyond that? Dunno. I have close to 70 mechs and of those, probably about six are truly viable for CW (although the others are really fun to play). I have enough mechs to keep me entertained.

Edit: Oh, if PGI is ever able to break the "Harmony Gold" blockade, I'd totally buy a Warhammer, Marauder, Longbow, Archer pack.

[MechWarrior9376871]

Just release it already!

[Dimento Graven]

It's obvious what they're doing isn't it?

They're teasing us SOOOO much that when they finally do release the Urbie, the nerd-gasm that occurs will be epic and we will have giant simultaneous cash boo-kake of our money into the faces of PGI...

I think I'm one of the few that aren't bothered about the unseen.

Not that I begrudge anyone who does want them.

What do people want post urbs?
Personally, I hope for Rocket Launchers and Arrow IV.
