If you received one of yesterdays reward's mechs but were not eligible for it, you can take advantage of PGI's "oops" by stripping it of equipment and selling the chassis. You have until Nov. 4.

Well I thought I knew what it took to get a King Crab, but after reading this link I'm not so sure:
https://mwomercs.com/resistance

I thought anyone who previously bought a top tier package would get a King Crab, like the Phoenix Overload package for example. However, the note about the crab in that link doesn't indicate that.

Tired of pretending120 kph is fast in you big stompy robot? Well then join us for some Star Citizen chat and flying tonight at 2000 central time.

Kni it was my understanding that If you had purchased the top tier of any previous package you would get the King Crab. After reading this you are right it does make me wonder it may be a good idea to field this question to Support and see what they say.

[poopenshire]

Brew is right, as long as you purchased a top tier of any previous package you would get the king crab.

[knight-of-ni]

Yes, that is what PGI said initially, but what concerns me is whether or not PGI's latest statement implies they are changing that.

[Galdar777]

Huh your right they seem to have changed their wording again.

[Brew E]

[poopenshire]

some one post that wording please, I am not sure what changed.

Top Tier Reward
This reward is for anyone who purchased a Top Tier Package in any of our pre-order programs. Eligible players will receive an exclusive new King Crab Assault Mech decked out with a custom paint job, along with a 30% C-bill Bonus and a free Mechbay. This custom King Crab variant will only be available through our Top Tier Reward program and will be injected into eligible accounts on December 16th. You have until December 16th at 10:00 am PDT to earn the Top Tier Reward. All Standard variants of this chassis will be available for MC December 16th and C-bills January 20th.

The description of this program is a little different on the resistance pack screen.

Notice how it does not mention Phoenix or Founders packages.
Sure, we could speculate that PGI did not mean to imply a change of policy, but I don't want to guess wrong.

I sent support an e-mail last week, but I've received no response.

I haven't been involved much lately in MWO, but it had kinda looked like pgi was getting it's act together. Now that I am paying attention I see it's still chaos.

I cant fault you thinking that but by and large they have made strides since keeping everything in house and removing IGP as their publisher. There has been significant progress in game mechanics. I think the real test will be when we get CW2 and all that it will hold. Until then I think they are moving in the right direction.

A blonde, a redhead, and a brunette were all lost in the desert. They found a lamp and rubbed it. A genie popped out and granted them each one wish. The redhead wished to be back home. Poof! She was back home. The brunette wished to be at home with her family. Poof! She was back home with her family. The blonde said, "Awwww, I wish my friends were here."


There was a blonde, a redhead, and a brunette. They were all trapped on an island and the nearest shore was 50 miles away. The redhead swam trying to make it to the other shore she swam 15 miles, drowned, and died. The brunette swam 24 miles, drowned, and died. The blonde swam 25 miles, got tired, and swam back.


A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?" In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I’m a six foot tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is six foot two, weighs 225, and he’s a rugby player. The fella to your right is six foot five, pushing 300, and he’s a wrestler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times."
