Wow, so this thing finally comes. Looks cool(even though I don't like "joke" items. I guess PGI will try to make them viable tho).

But with the final arrival I felt there's something missing... what was missing was the announcement of the new 12v12 Stock Urbie Deathmatch Mode!

Well, the tweet where russ said that we were 1/3 of the road for the urbie to become real has been posted 11 hours ago, so it was like 1/3 of the needed purchases in less tha 6 hours. Not bad i'd say.

I don't know why there's no Gold Urbie Variant available.

Ordered. I take part at the Urbie battel..

[o0cipher0o]

We need an urbanmech themed faction, allowed in cw to drop with nothing but urbies. I can see the epicness.

[TheRealTommo]

Bought!

So pgi have nothing better to do than give us a joke mech.

......... Figures i suppose considering they dont have enough to do allready constantly fixing a game which by the day is getting more unstable and more broken. Good job. Get your priorities right.

You realise that the Mech production team is seperate to be the game development team right?

And this affects literally nothing right?
All it does is take the slot AFTER the Resistance mechs are completed for next mech.

Game is still working on features and fixes.
Maps are on CW maps.
Mech is working on resistance, then urbs.

It's also not a joke mech.
It's something that we asked for, they'd be Fools not to.

By my estimate, just by people confirming on the forms, you're looking at at least 1 Collectors pack sold a minute.

Just a quick early count (first half hour), saw 30+ collectors packs declared bought.
That's $1200+ confirmed in 30min in This thread alone.
Plus regular packs.
How many more haven't declared it too.?

I'm willing to bet they've been pulling in around $3-5000 an hour, just from the urbanmech.

CW urbie drop: 12 tin cans with an AC20 wobbling towards a gate where they will be unable to kill the generator,...

BOUGHT!

The hilarity of it alone would make it worth it. At least 1 Wave. But I heartily support Urbie exclusive matches.

Urbanmech doesn't apply to anything the above states. It's a valid mech as any other. If you want to look at a joke mech. Here it is.

As to Urban Mech sales, the update is that things have gone fairly well. We have achieved about 1/3 of the sales needed in this first day.

so it sounds like even in such a short time it's running a bit above their expectations.

So urbies will have JJ's. Will two urbies be able to fit on top of one King Crab side by side?

"Greeting Mechwarrior, dis is da b33f speaking, and dis isss... TH3 URBAN CRAB."

Followed by a CW video of 8 urbies on top of 4 crabs. GGREKT.

[Adeptus Odren]

Ordered! One pack for me and another for my brother.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

I think about a competition. Put as much Urbies on a King Crab. The winner gets...Hmmmm I have to think about it.

You tried saying the Shadowhawk has advantages over the Stormcrow, it really does not, at all. Even the Griffin usurps it.

But I guess my competitive meta mindset isn't welcome amid Locust pilots so i'll see myself out.

But if anything, my fully mastered Locust 3M is practice for the Firemoth.

Get a room, you two: this thread is for fellating the Urbie.

Speaking of, has Russ popped up the numbers from the first day of sales? My bet is that it does better than Sarah's Mech at least, and wouldn't be surprised if it beat out the Resistance Pack.
