Just wondering About players' opinion on this?

[BLOOD WOLF]

Depends on what mechs they are.

[Joseph Mallan]

We need more Mechs before the game actually launches. This meager handful we have does not do the game justice. We should have more House specific models for all the weight classes.

[Mcgral18]

I wouldn't really mind.

Either a Comstar pack of sorts, IS reinforcements or some new Clans.

If there was a fast light and a Shadowcat, I might be tempted to pick it up, actually.


Though, I'm pretty indifferent on it. If it doesn't interest me, I just won't buy into it. I don't imagine there will be game breaking mechs.

[BLOOD WOLF]

More mechs will definitely add more variety into the game.

[Green Mamba]

I know Joseph...I fell like they need around 300 minimum (preferably 400 or more) to make it viable

[DEMAX51]

Personally, I wouldn't necessarily be against it, but I think a lot of other people would be.

Still, on NGNG #115, Russ said they had no current plans to release another in the near future.

What is left aside from those 3? Aliens?

[Edward Mattlov]

While I would rather see more maps and game modes, I do like to see new mechs once in a while, for variety as you said. They really need to release the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clanbuster mechs before CW for the IS players.

who would be against more mechs? and I think The goal is to focus on CW before they get to making mechs. They are not a high priority I think.

Well at least the full 3025 and 3039 TROs and Most of the 3050, I'm not sure if that is 300 but to do this right each House should have 2 models for each class at least.

[MadPanda]

I don't mind seeing more clan mechs since there isnt that many yet. I guess IS mechs are fine too but that depends which ones. I don't think there's anyone left who is actively waiting for cw. We all know its never coming. So they can add maps/mechs for little fun, I don't mind. That's what this game is about, mech deathmatch.

I am too lazy to look at the Sarna Site and count all the pre 3050 Mechs One by one .I figure its close to that

Who would be against more 'Mechs?

All of the people who whined after the Phoenix, Saber, and Clan Packages were revealed.

I'm not saying it's justified, but some people would be pretty outraged.

I would be irritated to say the least. To any new comer there are plenty of mechs. Now to us that have been playing since closed beta it may feel like we need more but really no.

I'm with you on that. I actually knew the number at one point! But time has rolled on and new MODs were added, so I gave up that level of geek for Easter one year.

We have maybe a quarter of the Mechs available for this time frame, it is no where near "enough"

[vettie]

I am all for it. I generates LOTS of interest and gives a bigger variety on the battlefield.

The Phoenix Pack was, what, 4 different mechs with a min of 3 variants? (roughly 12 mechs) plus some others models then the Griffin Wolverine pack adding another 6 at least.

The CLANs need more mechs too (and no I am not a Clanner)

Eventually it boils down to 1 or 2 variants being the favs of most pilots while the 3rd (or sometimes more) variant gets left in the mech bay or sold once the trees are completed enough to dump the 'suspect' variant.

Yeah more is better in this case as long as it doesnt hinder work on CW. (my opinion)

[Mechteric]

I wouldn't care because I'm not as likely to buy...


but I'm sure some of the classic reseens would generate mucho moneys: rifleman, warhammer, marauder, archer, phoenix hawk, wasp, stinger, etc etc

[4rcs1ne]

I would like another mech pack. Especially more clan mechs like maybe the Shadowcat and Cauldron Born.

[Alistair Winter]

Everyone on the forum will be outraged.

And a few weeks later, they'll have a shiny new badge on their forum profile.
