Mad Cat without missile pods kinda reminds of a Stormcrow.. a Stormcorw that hit a gym hard!

*installs test client to try/test clan mechs*

nothing to test?

Uninstalling. So much for considering purchase, don't trust pgi enough to buy anything before trying it any more. They rank along par with Bank of America n the trust level.

Done

Seriously, do people not read?

All players who pre-order any Clan Mechs or Collection before the same time tomorrow, June 12th, 2014 at 10 AM PDT, will be able to test drive their pre-ordered 'Mechs during the event. Come check out which Clan Mechs are available!

What is hard to understand about that? It stated everyone could see them in action, which you can, when it blows you up or you blow it up. To play it though? It specifically stated to those who pre-ordered.

Come on guys, you know people cant read around here. They would rather rage and whine and moan....Ohh PGI...how could you do this to me....uninstalling now....talk about a missed opportunity....blah...blah...blah. I mean they put it in writing, announced it early, and still we get these putzes complaining....LMAO.

Meh I don't pay to "test" any more, they can pay me.

Seems a few more of our players took sick days from work than we expected.
I hear Clannitis is acute, rampant and viral today.

I heard that once you have caught it, it is uncurable..

Rebuilt the Gaussapult with a Mad Cat/ Timber Wolf.

I'm calling teh RSPCM (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Mechs'). Madcats have feelings too you know. Ears cutting is just an abhorrent act, I am afraid I must confiscate this mech...

[Syndrome Stoned]

ok so i bought my summoners back in February, and have gotten every reward for reordering, why is it that some people can sport the all white, no texture polygon camo but i cannot ?

[Ben Morgan]

I had no intention to try around with a 2 PPC 1 Gaus-Rifle Timber Wolf. Although the thought is a little bit scary... Still, most people playing meta aren't better pilots than the rest of us, can still be outmaneuvered or outgunned. And I really like my Rocket-Wolf. All those shiny blue rockets, combined with the shiny blue HUD and... SO MUCH BLUE! It's awesome. I always felt like the yellow of IS was a little bit annoying. Finally an alternative!

And after trying around with the Direwolf B with more UAC2 Ammo, a LBX20 and 2 med pulse lasers I was considering building myself a bunker over the weekend to hide for a month or so after Tuesday next week

I really don't know where I should find the time to play all these wonderfull mechs

Switch to a standard mech not the (orange, green, black) Prime.

Package Prime mechs.
Phoenix [P]
Founder's [F]
Hero mechs [Name]
and special Sarah's Mech [S] cannot change patterns.

Actually I think he is referring to the glitch where there is not texture applied

[Knightshadowsong]

Let me start by saying that I'm not the best MWO player. Nowhere near, nor do I ever say I am. Sure I'm half decent 98% of the time and my average damage is about 216, But as a veteran MechWarrior player, my favorite mech, Is and WILL always be the Timber Wolf (Mad Cat to you noobs)

First off, The Omni pods are a new thing, I liked how you could switch out the hard points by switching the Omni pods. AMS, missile, Energy. 2 Missile, 1 Energy, 1 Ballistic. each were possible, and you will (once they drop for real) probably never see two identical mech's with the same load out in a single match that isn't a premade.

The Ranges are AWESOME! Just like they should be! the one complaint I do have is the sounds of the weapons. Missiles sound okay, but Lasers and AC's just don't have that POWER in the sound, So really. That's my one gripe.

Got to say. and this is a first. PGI did Clan mech's Right.

I'm aware.
He's referring to the no-texture Polygon pattern.
And not being able to select it.

I didn't get some Clanners, so it was IS for me, but those mechs sounded EPIC! It was truly terrifying to hear those sub-wub booms and laser-wooshes flapping around, and the Warhorns too even, wouldn't have guessed it, but it works great!

Two more things:
-Think the number of Clan Mechs will, unfortunately, be MUCH lower in the normal servers.. too bad, THIS is what the Invasion should feel like!
-Some of those 'light' Clan Mechs are still pretty big.. I found it hard to tell the tonnages from the sizes/shapes.. They also packed quite a punch for their tonnage, so it evens it out probly, but still, easy targets, those Kit Foxes and such..

Thanks for this stuff PGI, this will be a blast the next few months!

Tried that, i cant install it on any of the Summoners i have

Also on a side note, idk where the bug thread is but im getting pure function call errors with the PTS client, hope this doesnt translate to the full client when clans go live on the 17th

[Syndrome Stoned]

Also i do not like the fact that unlike the IS mechs, the clan mechs have a lot of area that isnt covered with camo paint, i mean half my summoner is gonna be gunmetal gray forever? hope the finished polygon camo or other buyable camo will fix that

I believe that's for the 'basic' ones. Actual patterns (the bought ones) would do quite a bit more. I'm not a huge fan of only 'tiny' stripe color changes. Polygon for example (if the texture was in), would let you spread a pattern across the entire mech.

i know what you ment knoiving, and im telling you its locked for me, i bought my summoners in February, and its locked on all the Summoners i understand why its locked on the Prime, i have a Founders Hunchback, a Grid Iron and a Dragon Slayer, i know what it means to have a Set camo, but even on my B and D Summoners it shows as Locked with the ability to buy it for 1250 MC, this is wrong, even if the pattern has no texture it should still be unlocked for me, it was the first social reward, and buying a pack in February clearly is before they even gave you the first 30 days of premium time, im not all that worried about not being able to use it in the PTS as much as im worried that it wont be there when it goes live on the 17th, which is gonna make me hella mad, since ive waited all this long, and took the time to buy the pack early just so i could get all the extra stuff

[Syndrome Stoned]

Again dont know where the bug thread is would like a link to it since im trying to spend as much time in mech as i can, but more and more often as i leave games early after dying of course, im getting the pure function call error, its almost every time now and i really dont want to spend the time watching other people play just so that i dont have to relogin
