I'm sorry PGI, I liked the other clan mechs, loved some, but this one is a joke. It's hideous. Nothing short of repulsive to look at. The torso looks ridiculous. Compared to the concept art, this looks like something someone made in a few minutes, looked at the concept once, and said "close enough!"

Meh, good thing most people buy mechs for hardpoints hey?

[edit - new thought] I hope it's the perspective, I do now remember how hideous the first mad cat / timber wolf picture was, but turns out it was a bad angle. The other pictures looked fine. Hopefully that is the case here.

It looks ******* ****. No perspective change necessary. How you ****** up a dire wolf is beyond me.

Seriously. DO they even try?

EDIT: I got a tad excited and didn't do my checks first. Was already posted in general.

Looks like someone updated the clan page in error, either that or they gave up on announcements. They're showing the Direwolf and put up the gold versions of both Nova and Direwolf in the gold section. Coincidentally there's apparently less than 5 TWs left, and under 50 of the Warhawk, Direwolf, Summoner, and Stormcrow now too.

Wow just wow, i am glad i didn't buy that. I can deal with thicker legs on my TW but that image above just looks like a box with a boeing 747 cockpit sticking out. For some reason when i look at it i think of the magic school bus from the kids cartoon show or the Scoopy Doo Mystery Van with arms on it. I think i won't be able to kill any Dire Wolf's while playing now cause i will be LOLing so hard now. And im no PGI hater i like their image of the Kintaro and the Hunchback better then FASA's artwork, but this...this is bad

Hello dark delaurel,
There is no way to make a Gold Mech package cheaper. Each package is 500$ and cannot be upgrade from or to another tier.
However yes, if you purchase a new Gold Mech package, you'll be able to give that Masakari package to someone else.
I hope the above answered your questions!

No! Nonono. What did they do to my favorite chassis?!

It looks like a fish coming out of a small hole with its mouth open :-(

[Smudge504]

I've just been sick a little bit in my mouth....

that's really bad! the concept art was a million times better looking! it looks like it's been squished.. i'll play it because it's just so damn powerful but my god it's fugly

[Grimmrog]

PGI, please rescale the CenterTorsoDome.

comparing the Concept art and the real model reveals the CenterTorsoDom is way too oversized. Also, havign a look at the TT model reveals that.


So basically rescale the radius and keep the nose lenght

Easy thing: Flatten the Torso and the Dire Wolf is perfect:

[Rubidiy]

well, they obviously stretched it's torso vertically, which is a nerf of Daishi. For me it's just a proof of it's battle effectiveness. Probably not in competitions, but in pugs for sure.

just a bit of difference with a huge difference.

[Omaha]

Guys I think most of this is just the angle of the screenshot and how close the mech is to the camera (it's 3d after all), and the paint scheme, and lighting/shadows doing some illusions. But dunno we will see when its in game.

THIS is the Dire Wolf you were selling. THIS is the Dire Wolf we were buying. THIS is the Dire Wolf we should be getting.

Should I really spend 100mil c-bills on 3 of those or wait for a Kodiak?
