I think PGI is delaying the Urbie because of all the weekend challenges. If the Urbie were in game it would be the only obvious choice to get all the wins, kill, and/or assists each challenge requires. Thus a 100% Urbie queue for a whole weekend. And, as we have already established, an Urbie overload of such magnitude would be unsustainable with PGI's current servers. (Not to mention the more dire warnings of some that it would cripple the whole internet.)

yah i mean like 2 urbies would kill a dire wolf hands down the clans need some thing to keep them safe

Eh, this one's not so terrible if you end up getting together with a team that plays like a team; I know it's tough, but if one can adapt one's strategy to benefit a team effort, the points slowly accrue. It's not easy, I know, but it's doable.

we are Urbie.
resistance is futile.
you will be assimilated into the urbie collective.

Give Dana back the keyboard, Zuul - you're drunk. URBIE 4 LYF

[DI3T3R]

Okay, just to be clear: The Urbanmech is a horrible Mech. High cadence for its main weapon and extremely slow. (Switch it to AC20 or Gauss to create an extremely slow Mech with paperthin armour. Or go for UAC5 or 2x AC2...)

That being said:
If he ever gets done, I will buy one, just to be a drag on the team and punish all those who called for the Urbanmech.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I will not purchase one, because I do not like lights, nor IS mechs in general, and I think the hype machine is ridiculous about it, but to be fair the Urbanmech will be just as feasible as any other light. It will have quirks to make it distinct, and it will probably be able to minimize most of what makes it horrible in TT - low armor, low speed, ammo dependent, etc. - so it will be no more of a hindrance to the team than a Commando or Locust is. In fact, it will probably be equivalent to a bloated spider, which is not too bad.

[KuroNyra]

Cool. Go away then.

The Trash Can will prevail!

[Deathsiege]

I just have a suspiscious feeling this mech will drop on April Fool's day.

Thats the whole point! It's a joke lol! It'll never make it into the game. other than to grace your 'mechs cockpit dash of course.

[Ovion]

Who's joking?

[Logajam]

No reason for it not to be included at some point, and sooner rather then later unless they accelerate where they're at in the timeline.

As for how effective it is... Thats all in the quirks. Could do something like it counts as a 20 ton mech in the dropship. Or any number of other things.

I honestly want to have a bunch of them. It's a fun mech, definitely not going to be competitive, since it's not even 35 tons. However, it can be hella fun to use.

I get it.... its funny cause it sucks so much and is a horrible mech, but why want a urbie when a Phoneix Hawk LAM is a way cooler horrible mech.

99% less chance of lawsuits, and at the end of the day, the phoenix hawk didn't use a STD 60 engine.

I dunno, if any official source shows it with a blue and white paint job, then LucasArts/Disney might sue.

[Sigmar Sich]

Its not necessary Urbie will be horrible mech. With quirk system, he can get major boosts for ballistic, and extra armor or structure. It will not be scout, but as fire support he could be good.
