My Timber Wolf still performs excellent.

YMMV, but mine seem fine.

I'd agree. It took me all of 2 minutes to find a new build on my Timberwolf that's arguably "better" than what I've been running for the last month. I didn't have to change a single thing on my Direwolf... And that begs the question "why"? What was even the point of balancing this way? Was it really the Kitfox, Nova, etc. that were creating such an imbalance that IS mechs couldn't hope to compete against them? Or was this just another knee-jerk reaction meant to make the community think that something - anything was being done to bring them back in line?

So you only bought yours with the expectation that you'd be getting superior mechs for cash?

[Kinski Orlawisch]

SRM and LRM everywhere.....Kintaros and other builds like them are coming to do the Invasion. Clanmechs? I bought them. For what? That my Timber is now running with 4SRM6? My Stormcrow with 3 SRM6...WOW...Woit..my Shadowhawk can do the same....for What Clanmechs?

I attempted to purchase the Clan collection and had purchased the Timber Wolf ala Carte last week. When I went to pay it is showing the full price. How do I get credit for the Timber Wolf I already have? I did not finalize the order because I want to make sure before I spend the cash.

Arkion29 email support, I've heard multiple people say that support has helped them in just these types of situations.

I didn't pay for the clan pack expecting intrinsically better tech but different tech and a different feel. I have been and remain pleasantly surprised. I'll confess to also being pretty happy with the balance of the clan pack when it came out, though others obviously disagreed. I thought the DoT element of clan weapons, along with their heat, made up for their weight and higher damage output (I can't even effectively use C-UACs). But I don't think the nerfs were that hard now that I've played with them a bit, other than how it impacted the Nova (disproportionately hard, I think). In any case, it encouraged me to drive my Stormcrows, and these things have turned out to be brutally efficient killers, much to my surprise. I'd recommend that anyone with an interest and disposable income pick up a pack. The clan mechs are fun and of a different flavor from the IS. I don't regret my purchase one bit.

I wish I had the disposable income It's sad. I've bought all the latest and greatest packs since founders, but now that this huge pack has come, I get no credit for previously supporting the game. I know this is a business so I'll save my butt hurt, but can't afford right now.

I feel ya there, I wound up trading house work to my sister for the Clan Pack, and I still owe her ~3 scrubbings.
Which is no where near as bad as it sounds - though it does sound pretty bad

IE: she payed for it, and in exchange she gets her house cleaned - but she keeps a relatively clean house.

Couldn't afford it for the longest time but I might be able to catch up (I hope) and grab it before it's gone. They have it up much longer than I expected it to be.
