Man, you really missed the opportunity to sell alot more clan packs here.

Why would i ever participate in this test? I didn't buy a clan pack up until now because i wasn't sure how clan mechs will turn out. Now why should i play in this test? To let me blow apart by clan mechs without getting an idea how they acutally handle? There is really close to zero incentive to participate, i might aswell watch youtube videos instead.

If i had the chance to try out clan mechs in this test, chances are high i would buy a clan pack today because i would have certainty how they handle.

I'm certainly not the only one who thinks like this. This was a great opportunity to sell more clan mechs. It was.


LoL, I've already mentioned this, but since the numbers have changed why not mention it again? Wednesday Morning the Phase 4 incentive was at 20%, by last night 55%, now as of this morning (8:30 EDT) it's at 65%. So yeah sales due to this PTS/Teaser Video seem to have worked their magic. :P

Personally I hope we dont hit phase 4 because it will mean more of the worst warhorn sound out of the set rolling around.

Ok PGI, here's the deal....

If you want me in your play test, you gotta help figure out what to do with my wife. I'm thinking a surprise day at the spa for her. But that gets her out of the house from 2pm est to bout 5pm. That's only 3 hrs of game time. I need more ideas!!!


Get her a nice hotel/resort stay for the day and night.

Do I need to have Chrono post his PGI timeline?

Lets say a gentleman gets caught repeatedly with his pants down (literally) having sex with bears.

And then we find a poor bear has been violated, is it wrong to suspect that it was that same gentleman?

Yup, PGI are bear ****ers.

So yes, with their history, people who "believe" In PGI have the burden of proof.

I spend here and there. It's just not nearly on the level that I could be. I have more than enough fun money to buy a clan pack...but the incentive just isn't there. Especially when they are "testing" them, less than a week before the patch that is putting them into the game.

Do you have any actual evidence, or are you a member of the tinfoil hat brigade?

Numbers are moving that's all that matters. If PGI are manipulating them, well it doesn't hurt any of us, but if they are, where is the evidence?

There are plenty of people who've stated they wouldn't buy anything without more information, well allot of information has been released recently, and numbers are moving. Can anyone disprove that this isn't from procrastinating buyers? I have on the other hand seen allot of posts/tweets recently of people stating they've bought/upgraded a package.

I won't be there, as I'm not getting any clan mechs for mc or c-bills.

Can't help but think this is another marketing fail on PGI's side for only letting people with pre paid clan mechs on, an opptunity to catch a few wavering people has past by me thinks

Good news everyone!
Since many were asking, I just got a double confirmation that the SRM Fix will indeed be included not just in next week's patch but also in tomorrow's test. :P

It's quite possible PGI is selling more. I bought a small package, which I will refund after the public test.

That's a misconception, anyone can play on the server to,those who have already bought clan mechs have access to them and everone else who has not bouyght will be abnle to use their IS mechs. This is to both test the balance (assuming there are enough IS mechs to get good data) and to let those who have not bought see thewm in action both on the field and spectating in cockpits while while giving those that pre-ordered a chance to use their new toys a little early.
