$500 gets you 25 mechs+mech bays+Premium time+other stuff

really not THAT bad, better than Star Citizen.

Which is why I bought the 240 dollar clan pack, I have no interest in paying 500 dollars for a digital item of no real value. At least with the clan pack I get a lot of mechs that would have taken me a very long time to grind enough cbills for not to mention tweaking them, I got into this game for the clans when beta started was hoping they would have been released a while back oh well something to look forward to next month. Shame it couldn't be june 1st.

I seriously doubt very many will buy the gold packs, even those that have said they didn't see much value in them but they just wanted them so they had bragging rights....which only works if everyone wants them but cant.

Yeah, I assumed so at first, too, but look at the screenshot of the Adder. Both the Invasion and Standard geometry models have the gold.

Yeah, I can see that.

I also see that in the gold Timber Wolf screenshot the arms are pointing in different directions, which will likely not be possible in real game, and which means these screenshots are likely not actual ingame footage. Not sure which is more likely to be incorrect, the description of the purchase contents or the manipulated screenshot. I guess we'll see eventually.

Hoping the Warhawk's next for the spotlight treatment, which is pretty likely since it's the assault 'mech of the 2nd clan group, with the other three having already been revealed (Adder, Stormcrow and Timberwolf).

sorry but you got to do a hell of a lot better than that for 500 dollars

With 500 bucks you could buy a nice HOTAS that'll last years... or a Oculus Rift... Or upgrade your computer... or... lots of things! Things better than a 'mech skin.

Damn, nice spot. That appears to be the Warhawk.

first shot was the diashi looking at the horizon turning to its left maybe on forest coloney, the 2 other shots were warhawks in crimson... ithink that's what i saw

no it was 4 shots of the warhawk ranging from tourmaline to crimson maybe one in gold was featured too. chassis looks good even from here!








oh why can't they do the madcat right!!!!

these would be the best format for screens of new mechs side view included^^

Star Citizen actually meets their promises, usually. Us Founders are still waiting for our Community Warfare that sold us on the game, which was supposed to be out in 2012! So the high price tag also has the worry of it never actually being delivered, like other core components of MWO, which makes it extra bothersome and not worth paying up for.

I got $500.00 worth of real miniatures. And that is a whole lot of them.

Kinda thinking of painting one gold. I mostly went and bought them because this stuff got way too crazy expensive.

See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information on Gold Khan and standard Clan Collections. http://mwomercs.com/...ollections-faq/

Stormcrow (Ryoken)






Adder (Puma)

I like the addition of the "omni-directional" screen shots, nice to see an all around view. The other screenshots have terrible lighting..... looks bronze or brown or anything but gold.

Also like seeing that the FAQ was updated to include some gold mech info..... but you answered nothing. Literally nothing. We want actual information, please.

We still do not know if we get a 4th mech that is gold or it is just the skin applied to any mech of that type. Going by the most recent screen shots, here, it seems it is a skin applied to whatever mech of that type, which goes against what is advertised. The advertisement is: "Gold Skinned Clan Mech" which fits but mousing over any of the gold mechs it says "Get 1 Gold Khan Collection mech".... so which is it? If it is a skin, does its 30% cbill bonus stack with the primes 30% for a 60% total cbill bonus?

"Q: How many Gold Khan Collections are there in total?
A: As of Thursday April 24, there were 50 Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) Gold Khan Collections remaining. When Gold Khan Collections reach less than 50 remaining, we'll make an announcement."

You do not say. What we wanted to know is the exact total number of available gold mechs per chassis. Not what you gave us there. I went to FanExpo and purchased limited quantity items, they were all numbered, 187 of 250, 383 of 500, 1 of 100. I know exactly how many of each item I purchased was limited to. With how long it has taken to get through the remaining 50 Timber Wolves, I would guess there was 100 each? I have no idea for sure though since you are being oddly tight lipped.

But that is how it should be. You don't buy a $260 mech to blend in, you buy it to stand out like a beacon of awesomeness at 2000+ meters! Trust me, if the Gold mechs looked like that screenshot, they would sell considerably more. (If they were only $55, though, they would sell like hot cakes...)

would isntant buy a golden Nova for 100€ if it would shine like such a sun. but now I would have to pay 500 bucks to get a laod of mechs I don't want or need.

You seem to be speaking for the founders, when the point you were making is not something the majority of the founders agree with.

And how just how many "Likes" by other Founders did your comment get? I totally agree. Except the money we Founders payed went into MW Tactics as well...I don't remember THAT being noted as part of the PGI sales pitch.

Im sorry, that stormcrow got there how?

No, Star Citizen's a rip-off also.I think I've had my fill of FTP games. I'm willing to spend 50-60 dollars on a game, and more for DLC, but I'm just feel like I didn't get my money's worth on MWO.

Paying that kind of money (43 million in Star Citizen's case) for a game that's not even in Alpha stage is more based on hope than any educated purchase. I spent @ $300.00 on MWO based on hope, because I'm a long time battletech and mechwarrior fan, but I don't feel like MWO is going to be the game I want.

Again, if somebody else enjoy;s it enough to spend that kind of money on this game more power to them, I wish I could feel the same about this, but for ME, there's just no "there" there any longer. I'll occasionally drop in, buy a new mech now and then with CB's, but this game is pretty much a disappointment for me. I gave it a long time to succeed, I spent more on it than I've spent on any other game ever. Just stuff like this gold skin stuff seems so greedy and non interesting to me that it turns me off the game even more.

The difference is the track record of Chris Roberts to consistently build games I loved to play. I consider Star Citizen an investment in the hope that I will get a modern version of some of my best loved games when I was growing up... he was behind many of them.

Mechwarrior also inspired investment, in smaller amounts, but I'm at a point where continued investment isn't commensurate with continued fun.

If we were being given access to closed beta on CW with the ability to provide meaningful feedback that would be taken seriously, I'd think about a Clan pack. But I don't need or want more mechs, even if I do love some of the Clan mechs. Pilot Big Stompy Robot Team Deathmatch is officially getting boring.

I want a game with some depth, and a mechlab that useful for the last remaining fun I was having: editing mechs and trying builds. Until we get a smurfy style mechlab interface (drag and drop without dealing with 10 menus and multiple clicks per menu, and some serious information about CW, I'm not interested in more, risky, investment.

Even better, each Gold mech should get a number related to it's purchase in the limited series.. a decal on it's rear end or shoulder. 153/200 or something.

I think that would be a great idea, and they definitely need something like that. Maybe offer a limited edition print of your Gold mech framed and signed by Alex with your call sign and unit on it. Giving us something tangible to have, something to even pass down to our kids, and if it's good enough, I would even bite at the astronomical price it's currently at.

Actually, the arms are probably not pointed in different directions. I think they've just mucked with the field of view too much, with the camera placed very close to the central Timberwolf. You can see that the various support struts holding up the platform are not parrallel to each other, so the entire image has significant deformation.

Hey I just had a thought, we have a "Phoenix Down" Achievement for killing a project phoenix mech, think we will get a achievement for killing goldies too?

[Felio]

I like how these are turning out, and I wish they were less expensive. Unfortunately, I would be embarassed to pilot one because I would feel like everyone thought I was a sucker or a snob or something.

I don't mean that to sound mean or anything, and I don't expect anything to change. I'm just sayin'. They do look nice.

"Bully" would be nice.It would be cool ifit keeps track of gold mechs you kill.

Love the look of the Stormcrow! I hope we get Alt Config A (we should).

  Alt. Config. A Configured mainly for close combat, the Stormcrow A is armed with a single LRM-20 launcher for long range capabilities; allowing it to support friendly units at long range. For close combat, the 'Mech is armed with four Medium Pulse Lasers and two Streak SRM-6launchers making it a deadly knife fighter. BV (1.0) = 1,894^[2], BV (2.0) = 2,319
