I can't imagine they'd blow the time on a concept sketch without some plan for releasing it.

I'll also note that the majority of the artwork is at FD's normal (ie amazing) pro quality, while the sack and the hat look more like his quick sketching style. Seems very much like an authentic concept for the Urbie that got a sketch over for the email.

It seems that even with Christmas, PGI can not stay away from the urby.

[Jaspbo1]

PGI say it'll be so, no more teases, you've let the cat outta the bag and you can't reign it in without crushing everyone's hopes and dreams for seeing this tin can in the game!
pgi plz nerf it 2

Premium time is of no use to me without Urbanmech!?!

I would rock a Santa-themed camo pattern all year - spreading joy and AC10 munitions with glee.

I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack from the excitement of seeing the Urbie in my email. I'm really hoping this means it will be in game soon.

I wonder why I haven't received the e-mail. (Unless I accidentally deleted it during my purge of my inbox the past couple of days.)

This account does not receive MOST of their emails.

I was honestly surprised that I got this one!

[Sereglach]

I got the email and was thrilled over the quality of the concept design work. Definitely not something that was done as a waste of time . . . especially given what Russ had mentioned in the Town Hall previous (not the one that just happened, but the one before that), where he mentioned work done for the Urbanmech.

I really look forward to it coming out. Hopefully it'll just flat out release for Christmas/New Years and we can go right ahead and snag all three variants to start working towards mastery! A hero or any sort of package/loyalty bonus would just be icing on the cake for something we all already want and WILL buy.

[Selene Lunaris]

I'm hoping PGI pulls a WG here and gives each player a free UrbanMech for Christmas or whatever.

Actually that doesn't seem wholly unlikely...

I like how many suggestions meet disagreement from the forums because it would be a "waste of ressources" and "other priorities are higher", but when it comes to a mech design that everyone will have exactly one giggle at and will never touch it again, all of you suddenly want it.

As I've said several times throughout this thread, I do not believe this will be a joke mech. Think of it on defense in CW - think of tons of these little hard to hit, hard hitting, hill humping things giving an invader headaches.

Only to be replaced by : "Your best Urbie battle stories"

yesterday on HPG Manifold spider-urbie with it's dying ac10 round killed a king crab face to face just as a non spider urbie killed it about 1 second later, adding it to the warhawk that also fell to it's urbie-like fury earlier in that match. we still lost though (looks for the "carry harder" thread). one teammate said "urbie OP! PGI please nerf!" after he watched me kill the crab.

It will also likely get some pretty good structure and armour quirks if it winds up in game. You'll have to downgrade the autocannon if you want to get to slow medium speeds, and get an XL if you want to get to Clan light speeds, but a pint sized AC5 with some good velocity and cooldown quirks could be a real pain in the arse.

Dear god, can someone please post an image or screencap of what was in the email? There's like 3 new pages of talk about a possible urbanmech and no one posts an image -__-

Some of us didn't get the email. And yes, I checked my spam/junk folders.
