Missed the January bonuses.

Still have not managed to order mine - and I am just getting into contact with support.

Being issues and support logged, they may be able to sort it.

If you've been in contact with support, I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to get you the bonuses. They can do that.

I am sure, and I am even expecting it (If I ever actually manage to get the order through!)
It would be par for course from what I know of similar issues.

But I am also trying not to let myself think that way - if only because it is better safe than sorry.
(They technically have little to no reason to do that for me )

Here is hoping!
Although the Urbie is going to be dirt cheap once it finally comes out - I said I would pre-order it if it was under a certain price, and I am gonna try to keep my word on that!

A friend of mine had issues with the Resistance pack and they gave him a King Crab after he ordered it late. They're pretty reasonable.

We're excited to announce the UrbanMech UM-R60! This little guy packs quite the little punch with 1 AC/10 and 1 Small Laser for popping off those Mechs you know are hiding in an urban area. With a top speed of 32.4 kph, you won't be expected to chase down those pesky Jenners. Finally!

The UrbanMech UM-R60 will be available from April 1st with a Premium Skin. This unique Mech is available to only the most loyal MechWarriors, including 2 variants and the additional Hero variant.

A new Hero Mech arrives on the battlefield! The UM-CUB "Urbie Curby" comes hot from the manufacturer with two rear mounted AC/20s for pummeling at close range. Grab a partner pilot to join the glory, this Mech has no need for an engine! Ask a lancemate to tow you around (Attach hitch with "E") or stay put at your base like a defensive turret.

When are they going to update this?

I say leave it. It's a signpost to when the Urbanmech was nothing but a joke to PGI...and how powerful and committed the community was to changing that joke into a reality.

Folks, WE did that. WE made this happen. And yes PGI deserves just as much praise for listening to us and making the Urbie a reality. Very VERY few MMOs do this.

If in fact PGI makes the aesthetic changes based on our often strongly worded suggestions, I hope no one take their efforts lightly. This entire sub-genre of Urbie fans was probably not even a slight blip on the business radar, and yet, they took a chance on us.

I'd hoped that they might get a write up in some currently relevant gaming medium (if such a thing still exists).

Viable or not, fact is I'm going to be cruising in my UM-R63 with pride (I just hope the battle won't be decided before I get there!)

Now they just need to make the model fatter


Birthgiving hips for Urbanmech plz

It will likely have to be someone else that quotes them or makes an article, so if you want that to happen drop a line to your favorite gaming Youtuber or website. It's a good story. I'm thinking I might try and see if Total Biscuit is interested myself.

uhhhh...

Still wondering which quirks they will give to the urbie...

[stealthraccoon]

Chassis appropriate AC : 20% cooldown/range/heat reduction, ballistic 20% cooldown/range/heat reduction, small laser 25% cooldown/range/heat reduction , laser 25% cooldown/range/heat reduction- my guess. Urbies don't have the room for ammo or double heat sinks, so they need to get the most out of their limited magazines, and their pew-pew need to burn like flamersers.
