I saw there was an event of some kind, but it turned out to just be another sale. We had a little chuckle about that.

Then I looked at the list of mechs for the space samurai sale, and there are ravens there.

lol what

You are right.

Your list is prettier than mine.

Yay for faction specific things!

Couldn't agree more with you here makes the factions feel a little more important then what they currently are (non-existant importance)

[Bongo TauKat]

Just another sale...yay.

When are factions going to be more than just a badge again?

[jackswift]

Anyone else think Mortal Kombat when they saw the logo on the launcher?

[Fire and Salt]

Themed sale...


I know there will never be a Star Adder themed sale... but still... I dig the style here.

[Sixnations]

Yea I kinda got excited thinking it was CW related

[Alistair Winter]

Well, it's good to see more lore-based stuff anyway. Even if it's mostly directly related to sales.

Hope to see more stuff like this.

Ravens are pretty common across most, if not all of the Houses. For example, Davion fields the RVN-2X.
It is true though, that the Raven is most closely associated with Liao. Shame that the Raven Hero seems to be more FRR themed than Capellan.

If it's any consolation, it's arguably the worst of all Ravens. I guess the FRR bought it cheap.

Am I the only one that read the thread title and hoped it was a teaser for CW?

Nope, me too. But a nice set up for a sale anyway =)

They have the coolest IS faction design.

It wouldn't be a Draconis Combine sale without the Dragon and Jenner here.

It makes sense that Spider, Kintaro, and Catapult are here too. However, I wonder how many catapult variants Kurita used outside of the K2. Don't get me wrong, I love PPCs and they are my 2nd favorite weapon, but LRMs are my favorite weapon (and Jumpjets are awesome).

Hunchback? Well they do have some notable Kurita pilots, but I always thought of them being more Marik than Kurita. Kurita usually hates mediums, perhaps there's some sort of samurai thing going on here because you need to have a planned strike or whatever.

Cicada? More of a Marik mech imo again. Though it acts like a light, and Kurita does like Lights.

Raven? Don't get me wrong, I love Ravens because I love supportive mechs and it has a nice design, but they are basically Cappellan.

Not even a single Assault? I suppose there really aren't any good candidates for a Kuritan assault. Atlas is usually more associated with Steiner, and the Atlas has had a bazillion sales for it already.

So yeah, out of the mechs we have available right now, only the Cicada and Raven have me scratching my head.


I'm a little surprised you didn't have a mech or two wearing the Kurita colors so people know what Kurita's Style looks like.



A sale that catches people's attention, and hypes people up for Community Warfare, nice. Just don't do it too much before Community Warfare hits (if Community Warfare is still going to be a while before it's here).

[Spheroid]

They should have just offered the K variants.

[Nuclear Weapon]

Kuritans need no rebates...
We have honor and warrior blood instead...




oooh my, I should change my banner already... xD

I read this post thinking it was about persistent warfare (Kurita borders).

I would have settled for an urban mech (re: Defensive!)

Or a map (re: defensive posturing).

Now my beer would be contaminated with tear drops, had I any left to cry for this game.

This has been your friendly melodramatic interlude for the evening. Please return to the regularly scheduled "Clan: OP or Way OP" discussion you had originally planned

[NARCoMAN]

Well,it's the closest thing to lore we have had since the INN stopped.

However, you're still selling the same old stuff for the same old two and a half game modes.

whatever

[Armament]

Only 35% off for non-hero mechs? Needs to be at least 75% off or else why purchase with MC? Using c-bills sounds like a better deal to me.

[Cion]

Wait, so if all mechs are being called to the front, and factories are backlogged with production, shouldn't Kurita mech prices increase? (I know, too much business theory here)

Still, fun themed sale. HOPEFULLY this will somehow tie into a command chair post next week and CW phase one released in August. PGI, you can do this...

When I saw the Mortal Kombat logo for the first time - back when the game was new - I thought House Kurita. So to your question: yes, because of the converse.

[Will9761]

I'd be happy if you threw in the Mauler and/or Hatamoto-Chi for concept art.
