So I was somewhat confused about how the Social Rewards were going to work, and I found an archived thread where it had reached 100% late March. In the thread PGI replied and said it was a "rounding error", then apparently it started showing percentages with decimal places bouncing up and down (99.X and so on.) Now as of 5-26 on my end it shows the percentage at 95%.

So my questions are:

What exactly are the goals (example: $ amount made, packages sold, Gold Mechs sold, ect) of Social Reward Phases 1, 2, 3, 4?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How/why did the Social Reward Percentage lose 5% between late March and now?

Has PGI actually settled on what the "reward" for each Phase is? (There was mention of Polygon Camo as the reward for Social phase 1, but couldn't find a source and it wouldn't make much sense because all Clan mech packages purchased were said to get it anyways as per Clan Collection FAQ's if I understand the rules correctly.)

*EDIT - I realize now that it is 95% for phase TWO now... sorry, but was confused about the "?" and not very clear on the Clan page. Please disregard last two questions. Thank you!

Thanks in advance!

Bump for interest.
Also, Stage 1 was a polygon pattern - dunno if you trust my word, but it had a picture of a gray Adder with orange polygon-ish camo.

Refunds explain it. At least they are being honest about it.

It's a feel good bar.

It increases and decreases as the feels of good flow in.

PGI is the heroin dealer in regards to MWO tho... so they must not be feeling good about the bottom line.

The 95% that it now shows is for phase 2. Phase one hit 100% in late march 4 or so months after it started. Now 2 months later we are about to hit 100% on Phase 2. Once that happens Phase 3 will start at 0 until is hits 100%. It is PGIGP's goal to have hit 100% of phase 4 by June 17th. A goal they are going to woefully fall short on. My belief is the player base is speaking with their wallets and not supporting them until they fix their game. I am hoping that PGIGP is taking this seriously and understands that the playerbase is not happy with the way the game is being handled or developed.

If I were PGIGP I would be ashamed that we are just under 3 weeks out from clan launch and have not sold even half of the packages.

Thank you for the reply and the clarity! Edited OP to reflect it!

Phase 1 reward is the Polygon Camo. There was a pop-up when you scrolled over Phase 1 that showed it but the image or mouse-over prompt seems to be broken at the moment. The FAQ you refer to even calls it a Social Reward. It says that all packages get it because all packages get it. Anyone who has purchased a package gets all the social rewards that unlock regardless of when they purchased. (This is in addition to monthly rewards for buying in early. Basically Monthly Rewards are time sensitive, Social Rewards are not.)

Why sure we did!! Look at how many of the Gold mechs are left! I think, at last look, 3 types are 'under 50 left!'.

[Destructicus]

I seriously doubt it really reflects the amount of **** we buy
I'm pretty sure it's just something they update to make it look like clan packs are selling.
It was the same with Phoenix packs

[Black Arachne]

Would PGI really think that low?

Not a doubt in my mind. even though I have to admit if a PR person were bumping the numbers a bit I would do more than what they have listed currently. But still even if the numbers are accurate, I think its safe to say that the packages are NOT selling the way that PGIGP wants.

[Rhaythe]

Hm. Do we update the social rewards percentage today?



Hm. Signs point to no.

[Koniks]

Social Rewards % updated. We're at 100% for phase 2. Polygon camo colors.

I wonder if they're secretly trying to get a good review out of Polygon by providing them a mech that can look sponsored in the right colors.

That is pretty lame. Phase 1 was to give us the Polygon camo itself...this implies that we could have somehow been given the camo without the colors, had we not reached phase 2. That's kind of impossible. If we have the camo, we GET the camo colors by default. They only did this for filler.


Oh, and now they FINALLY revealed what the remaining phases are. Phase 3 is a mug cockpit item with the MWO logo on it. Phase 4 is a Sonic Boom Warhorn.

[Mcgral18]

I kinda want that warhorn...but I don't want to spend any more money.

Are the social phases based on the number of people buying in, or is it based on the total money raised?

[EyeOne]

They also put up what phases 3 and 4 will be. Another coffee cup and a unique warhorn.
