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. :P
(They technically have little to no reason to do that for me :rolleyes:)

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! :rolleyes:

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!)

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.

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.

For your listening pleasure...

It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby
It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
Yeah

What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be Maullers? Shot Callers? Brawlers?
Wastin' time with all the PUG drop bawlers?
On the field, shootin' at every Atlas?
Shootin' at a mech with gold chrome chassis?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad mechwarrin' skills
Fraggin' the vat born for thrills
I got me a hundred rounds of AC10
I never chase squirles and I just headshot them
Installed endo-steel in my Mech
Always in the drop queue, leveling up my drop deck
Upgrade my engine at least twice a day
I'm strictly drop-and-play, I ain't afraid of pay-to-play
I'm down with RUss B, I call him "Bully" for short
I phone him up at home and I make him give me Lurm support
It's all about the Urbanmechs, what?
You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commando 3A is really neato
What kinda stuff you fire from that, some mosquitos?
You're usin' a XL engine? Don't make me laugh
Your engine blows up when you lose your right half
You could back up your whole drop team watching that Atlas rear.
You're the biggest joke in the Inner Sphere
Your weapon groups are a disaster
You're waxin' your mech down, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still droppin in a trial Jenner
Downloadin' patches to color your mech yeller
And postin' "Me too!" like some self-entitled founder
I should do the world a favor and blast you over yonder
You're just about as useless as vows to a clanner bonder

It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)

Now, What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be Maullers? Shot Callers? Brawlers?
Wastin' time with all the PUG drop bawlers?
On the field, shootin' at every Atlas?
Shootin' at a mech with gold chrome chassis?

Uh, uh, loggin' on now
Wanna drop wit my crew, hah?
Rule IS space and crunch clanners like I do?
They call me the king of the potshots
Got 'em all dropping down with my headshots
My AC20 got the shots, it rocks
Makes your armor weak before you see what I got
You say you've had your locust for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, speed is antique
Your spiders got 12 jump jets, and that's great
If you want to hit like a light weight
360 twist's got me protected
Every mech inspected, no clanner mechs detected
I beta tested every mech in the system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your teammates are crashin', mine keep on blastin'
They do all my work without me even askin'
Got a great paint scheme so I can sit and hide
I believe that your says "Shoot me Here" on the side
In a autocannon world, you're an MG user
You've got your own drop group, "PUG Queue Losers"
Your modules melts when you try to shoot a 'Fox
Where'd you get your heat sinks, did you take them out of the box?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll hose you
If I ever meet you I'll GG Close you
What? What? What? What? What?

It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
It's all about the Urbanmechs! (It's all about the Urbanmechs, baby)
Now, What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be Maullers? Shot Callers? Brawlers?
Wastin' time with all the PUG drop bawlers?
On the field, shootin' at every Atlas?
Shootin' at a mech with gold chrome chassis?
What??
