Wow.
Nicely done, guys. This is much appreciated.
I haven't bought anything from you since October of last year, because I wasn't happy with the game's direction or the company's treatment of their players. I just bought 12,000 MC.
There's more pillars to deliver, improvements to make, and gameplay to fix, but the improvements over the last week are enough to open my wallet again for the moment. Keep it up.
and that's why this game will never change. you guys are chumps and PGI knows it. They just admitted they aren't even sure if they can do dropship mode, which is something they claimed they had almost ready back in closed beta. They still don't have CW, and their "plan" for it reads like they threw it together in a day. They've been using MWO resources on Transverse for months, or maybe years.
but they dangle a couple of "free" mechs in front of you and you start forking over cash again
I have to admit, whereas I also have enough mechs to shake a stick at, and will not really care too much for IS mechs now that we've got the Clans going these are some really impressive rewards.
I've scraped money together to buy into and support PGI as best I can and hope to continue doing so.. I know the pain of having to wait 12 years for a MW game. I've been hungering for an 2x weekend and it's upon us again. The only thing that could've been made perfect if there was a discount on MC packages (waiting for the next one to refill)... still, I'm not complaining. PGI also did something privately that really warms my heart and shows me they appreciate their long standing customers.
Thank you PGI. I know times are rough and the users don't make it any easier, but I hope this game exists for a long time.
Will the King Crab have its variants our there?
Which king Crab, 000?
and the variants will be added, will the Guardian ECM, King Crab 008 model be added?

Btw, am I the only one that has just worked through ghost heat? It's like big whoop de doo. They have warnings so new users get there's a penalty (this is in game) and other than being mindful of builds and understanding there is a possibility they will fiddle with it in the future, it doesn't seem like an issue to me other than something people are just seriously transfixed on. I also don't mind ecm... am I.... living on an island ()
Okay, so, I bought the Masakari package...am I eligible for the Atlas and King Crab?
In theory yes. It is a top-tier, pre-sale package. I haven't seen that they have clarified exactly what "pre-sale" means. I presume it means before MC/C-Bill availability, so technically speaking, the Clan pack is even still currently considered "pre-sale".
Time to get $30 worth of MC. Two months of premium time and ten mechbays - I'd be stupid to pass that up. That oughta hold me over until CW is implemented. Time to get two Centurions and a second Atlas...
Loving the bonus mechs, but even moreso, the adding new variants of older chassis. By doing so, I think you present a great opportunity to give players a reason to use multiple variants. I mean, who uses any Atlas other than the D-DC with any frequency? Maybe a founder's Atlas, but thats really it. I really hope that these variants are publically available for C-Bill purchase, rather than remaining C-Bill exclusive like the Hero mechs. I understand why Hero mechs are what they are, but this is a limited time offer, and anybody who misses out on it will really feel cheated, I'm sure.
