The CN9-AH has different hardpoints than the YLW. The AH has missiles in the left torso, and no energy hardpoints. The YLW has no missile hardpoints, but two energy hardpoints in the CT. They're not the same mech, there is no conflict here.

That's 2 millon C-Bills for every 100 games played right?

Whale target practice needs to payout.

No, only once.

As much as I appreciate this, isn't this a litte expensive for you guys? I don't know... I actually want to to be sucessful (and that you fix the PPC but thats a different topic^^). Giving away loads of free stuff....

Ahhh anyway you could let people that bought the cheaper versions of the clan packages and La Carte have a shot to buy the new maddog... That is the only mech I ever gave a F about, and I would of bought the masa pack if I would of know I had no chance of buying the limited edition maddog. How about changing it to if you bought a pre sale clan pack you can buy the top pack in wave 2 and get maddog. SEEM WAY MORE FAIR. Right now I feel like i am being pee'ed on alittle here. After support you all for so long. I want my MADDOG PLEASE

There is no Urbanmech included!

Quoting this:

Talking to your community is a good change and free stuff is also nice. But concentrating on balance fixes and content will bring you more players than new mechs.

If that were true, the game would have tanked by now.

[Elahen]

This sounds great and with the Clan Package #2 they will finally be able to fund Transverse.

This is bigger news than bacon and cheese being stuffed in a crust.

[Túatha Dé Danann]

Sounds good. Only question is, if the "Premium-Variants" of the mechs will have unique hardpoints or not - compared to the standard variants you may purchase for C-Bills later on.

I can live with the Atlas-S being a special mech not being available for either C-Bills or MCs, as this is a special Founder-Gimmick. But I can already hear the cries from far away calling "pay to win" if the other Variants (King Crab/Mad Dog) have unique hardpoints that player who do not pay real money might never get. Aside from the Hero-Variants that give 30% more C-Bills but are other than that en par with all other variants, it would be nice if the "normal Variants" of the custom ones are the same just without the 30% C-Bills bonus.

To the rest: Thank you. I'm not a Founder, but I can feel their pain up to now and this is a really nice gesture, as well as for the people who spend a whole lot of money into that game. Just do not make the mistake to make it p2w, as this would upset a good chunk of the community. You remember the consumables-disaster for MCs?

Carry on and thank you!

Dear PGI Team,

In case you haven't figured it out yet from this thread, you are really onto something with how you have changed your approach to the player community. We feel the love.
Honesty is good (e.g. Townhall). Appreciation to founders and real money spenders is good (after all,we happily fund game development). Attention to timelines and keeping promises is good.

Kudos for the all-out campaign to repair your community relations. There will always be a steady stream of internet trolls regardless of how well you do, but all the above does wonders to promote good will from the remaining majority of players. A lot of us stay silent and just play, which gives you the idea that everyone feels as negatively as the vocal trolls. I am writing to let you know that you should keep up the great work seen in 2014 and just soldier-on, keeping the content rolling in. Reputations are built (or re-built) based solely on the consistent nature of your honesty, appreciation, open minded listening, and good old hard work.

At the expense of this post turning into a teary-eyed version of Kumbaya, I sincerely hope the community can forgive and forget the PGI's past mistakes, and I hope PGI can forgive the community for the constant demoralizing stream of negativity aimed at them.

Lets all agree on one thing: blame it on IGP (HA!). I plan to blame them even if they don't deserve it, mostly because they are gone now regardless. They make a nice scape-goat even if it isn't completely their fault (which I sincerely hope it is).

The only difference with the Atlas-S, Cent-Ah and King Crab will be the special paint and cbill bonus. The exact same mechs will be for c-bill purchase.
