On the eve of our victory, I want to thank everyone here who helped make the Urbanmech a reality in MW:O.

Let's wait and see if they'll actually make it. There are a lot of us here who want this mech to happen, but I fear that it might not be enough depending on PGI's /criteria/. Despite that, my faith is strong.

I'm going to buy them as gifts and pass them out on April Fool's Day.

The Urbie is the Mech with the most development time i guess.. all good things are worth waiting for..

And I thought waiting until I:00 for the 10:00 patch was bad. I feel for you.

I'll live, main issue is resisting the urge to respond to all the people asking if its Tuesday yet and them that It is, 8:44am Tuesday morning in fact.

just for the record, would buy an urbie. would even take a golden one.
buffs should be insane torso twist and twist speed, to make good the lack of speed. having an AC20 in a high hardpoint also rocks. who cares if it is slow - it would rock in mech factory, river city or crimson strait...

and while we are at it - where are wasp, stinger, flea, hatchetman, wyvern, guillotine, archer, rifleman, crab, thug, warhammer, marauder and cyclops ?
2750+3025 readout, very first "unfixed" edition. thanks.
or marauder IIC, locust IIC, galahad, kraken ?
kraken would definitely come with a fix to AC blinding.

Wasp, Stinger, Archer, Rifleman, Warhammer, and Marauder (and the Longbow, among others) are all the property of a company named Harmony Gold. Since they produce Robotech, a rival universe, there's no way they're going to let PGI get their hands on those iconic mechs (which FASA lifted wholesale back when they were still just a company making a mod for Traveler).

The Flea was tossed to the side - they just made the Locust instead. Also, there's problems with MASC, but they've even said that the Flea is too redundant so is being scrapped (for now, at least).

Hatchetman....oh, man, do I want one. Of course, they'll have to implement melee, but that would be the only mech I piloted (other than the Urbanmech, natch).

Yeah, but Harmony Gold is a sore spot, especially due to the circumstances, and that FASA had licensed the rights directly.

HGs claim was incredibly sketchy and tennuous at best, being they only had/have distribution rights, not to the image or name.
But they strongarmed their way through, and it's how they've been staying afloat in the last 5-10 years, by making tenuous lawsuits and cashing royalties based on their existing license and payouts from legal action.
A thoroughly reprehensible company, but one with good lawyers.

Imho, it's a really shame that devs waste time for this ugly mech instead of many important features...
But I repeat: this is my opinion.

[Kotzi]

A slow light mech... No thanks, nothing a Raven could not be outfitted with too plus it has 5 tons more. But still nobody seriously uses a AC20 Raven except to have some fun. But shooting twice before dying aint that much fun.

[KafkaSyrup]

The Urbanmech is the erection causing, super umami of flavor change MWO needs. Weight classes and roles are all getting tedious. The resistance pack isn't going to do much to change this, except the Grasshopper (aka the Chubby Sparky). Getting an ambush brawler/sniper (also w. Panther) in the light format will be fun. And it also beg more development for more city maps/better map objectives. Doubt the Urbie is going to syphon much SDE time, and it will get more $$ than it takes away.

We wants, we craves... we get our underwear all melty for the Urbie. Damn you Russ, you take advantage of my frail addictions and need to have Urbception with the cockpit item.

(Now, all I want for Christmas is the Whitworth and the BJ-2.... *sigh*)

You mean the devs dedicated to making mechs, not taking away from game development, that won't be working on the urbs till they're done with the resistance pack, won't negatively affect anything, and in fact bring surplus income for minimal effort, ultimately helping the game overall?

How dare they!?

[Nightshade24]
