The State of the Inner Sphere post mentioned Sept-Oct for Module 2. It also mentioned that Module 1 as July-Aug so since that came at the end of the estimate my guess is now Oct-Nov for Module 2. Most likely end of Nov based on how Module 1 came out and the issues they are trying to fix with desync.


That's the logical conclusion, but since it's so much easier to be a cynic so I'll just scream "money grab!!!! qq!! ggclose pgi!!" and pout.

PGI has said this time and time again, the people making MECHS and MAPS are not the same people implementing new CODE and UI. UI is done by art/coders just like Mechs, sure, but they can do both of the projects at the same time because they have increased their number of employees, namely artists galore. How else was UI 2.0 pulled off during the construction of the Clan mechs?

If you guys keep spouting these inaccuracies again and again after you have been corrected multiple times, I'm just gonna have to call it. It's delusion. You are making up a reason to hate the progress of this game, which doesn't sound like a fun way to watch the development of this game unfold.

Regarding the free Mech. Russ mentioned that it was going to be a new chassis, and that Clan Phase 1/Phase 2 purchasers who spent enough on a la carte or the packs themselves would receive it. A Clan pack 2 is in the works because people have been BEGGING for it alongside CW and new maps. I'm really ******* sick of you guys saying "HEY HEY ADD THIS AND YOU CAN TAKE MY MONEY" and then, after the announcment, turn things right back around on PGI with "WTF WE NEED NEW MAPS AND CW YOU IDIOTS!"

If you're gonna be mad at PGI, be mad at them for a legitimate reason. Ffs.
But at any rate, the new chassis is just a thank-you freebie. I can't remember what was mentioned regarding Clan Pack 2, but I think it was something along the lines of "Because IGP is out of the picture, the max price a pack is gonna be will be $120, so half of the Invasion's max pricing. Price value will be the same or probably greater, people that pay the $120 will get some nice bonuses, we're really trying to let the backers feel like they are getting their money's worth. PS Gold Mechs were IGP's idea"

Yeah, this is a late update/response, sorry about that. Been keeping my eye on the Arena Commander patch info.


Because PGI tells you so it's always true right? Almost one year and no maps, but mech packs abound. Yeah the guys working at maps sure haven't been stuck with doing mechs, not at all. Or did they have an 8 month vacation? If you just think a bit about it you might not take everything PGI tells you as absolute truths.

It is a glorified match maker and a new game mode. Whoppity do.

I honestly could only be less enthused about it if it was simply matching faction vs faction normal pug games.....wait....units have 2 minutes to respond? Never mind that is exactly what the game mode will actually be like. Now with 12 man vs pug team as an official match maker.

During the aforementioned 8 month period maps were being worked on, but most efforts were concentrated on getting UI 2.0 out the door and, yes, Clan Mechs. They came out with 8 Mechs in 8 months on top of a few IS additions and constant UI 2.0 fixes/some CW progress/turrets. PGI was very busy in that 8-month period, no way you can call it a vacation just because they weren't working on maps.

I guess you didn't read my post very well, so I guess I need to spell it out for you. I was talking about the map making guys, all of a sudden no maps for a year, how come? Did the map guys take an 8 month vacation? I mean they're the map guys right, they are not supposed to get caught up in mech making?

And really, you think it'll make your point by claiming people are delusional? How about some actual counter arguments this time, I mean if you have any except trying to insult people. And this time please make an effort to read the post you're replying to.

Update: September 23rd patch, free Mech for people that bought Clan packages. No info on legacy player bonuses for Founders/Pheonix purchasers, may just be a bonus that they are giving out to Invasion supporters. Was hoping that IS supporters would get some love too, but maybe they will, we'll have to wait and see.


Official announcements were the point of this Town Hall, but I can't help but agree that we shouldn't take these announcements as gospel. PGI may have to go back on some skewed information that was spouted out quickly during a Q&A answer, which is expected. Happens to the best of developers.


Why, so everyone could complain they are trying to coax money out of IS Loyalists who cannot use the mechs in CW anyway???

With this forum, more and more, there is a black lining on everything, even when the news is neutral to slightly good. Not saying there is not a lot to be negative about these days, because there still is...however, how about taking a wait and see approach instead of playing chicken little?
