I agree that PGI has failed to deliver in the past. However, they came through with the first phase of Community Warfare. It's apparent they are trying to rebuild their fan base in preparation for CW. I have hated almost every nerf they have come up with. Ghost Heat, Guass Charge, Jump Jets, Etc... these are just punishments against good pilots using their skills against mediocre players who don't want to learn the skills necessary to keep up.

However, It looks as though PGI is trying to mend its ways, and I know that I am willing to forgive them if they come through. I do have to give them the chance to prove themselves, and I hope they don't prove me wrong. But, the proof will be in the pudding, and time will show us all the truth...

Hi,

Maybe not the correct place for the comment but ...

" Ghost Heat, Guass Charge, Jump Jets, Etc... these are just punishments against good pilots using their skills against mediocre players who don't want to learn the skills necessary to keep up"

I disagree. All of these were not "punishments against good pilots" ... they were adjustments made to change the meta game in terms of what the MOST effective mech build might be. I believe that most people acknowledge the issues with high pinpoint alpha (front load damage) meta builds and high alpha builds in general. They reduce time to kill substantially ... and although there is a very rewarding feeling when you wipe out an opponent in a single shot ... it isn't that much fun on the receiving end.

So ... all these changes now require MORE skill to be an effective pilot. Instead of a single perfect shot you need three. There are lots of excellent pilots out there who do this all the time. Working around these constraints is not a punishment for skilled pilots ... it is actually a bonus ... skilled pilots will still do a lot of damage and are very effective. It is the less skilled pilots who relied on one shot kills ... who often miss their target otherwise ... who are most significantly affected by these changes.

So what if those that bought clan mechs ala carte want to upgrade to a masakari package? Are we kinda SOL?

They're putting in code so you can.

[Galen Crayn]

I am a black knight, was banned for critics at pgi but... I have bought a timber wolf (one of my favorite mechs) to get this new atlas. Why? The last weeks PGI made a lot right and i have a LITTLE faith back... Please PGI, bring CW this year and new maps!!! Please hold your promises this time. PLEASE!!!!! I gave you my money after 1 1/2 year to support your course of MWO. Please use this money only for MWO and let this game be the best Battletech Title ever. There is a lot to do...

I can ask if that is even possible

You could always just inject enough GXP to elite it out to everyone.

[KuntaKimchi]

No plans on a Nova Cat? I'd pay an extra 20 for that.. or even 40.. I want that mech so bad. What's the update on a new map or 3? But seriously, are there any future plans for a Nova Cat?

[Trevor Belmont]

I'd pay $$$ for a Cyclops or Grasshopper

So is the "weekend" for double XP, XP conversion and 50% mechbay starting on Sept. 17th because that is the actually anniversary, or is it starting on Sept 19th on the actual weekend? I would love if it started the 17th because I will unfortunately be away this weekend and I am trying to lvl up my mechs.

I'm afraid I haven't read all 40 pages, just the first 4 or 5.

I was wondering whether those of us with fabulous wealth where our brains and common sense ought to be can look forward to Gold Khan iterations of the 2nd wave clan mechs?

I'd probably buy a Khan Hellbringer/Loki. And I'd certainly buy one if it also bundled an invasion Vulture and the other 2nd wave mechs.

What can I say, getting alpha'd by friendlies at the start of 50% of my matches sounds like fun to me!

Your IS mechs will NOT be useless. The only time you'll be restricted to Clan mechs is when you're dropping for CW. The normal queue has no such restriction. Hell, I'm in a clan right now too and I only own 6 clan mechs compared to my 25 IS mechs.

Right, so when I'm helping my clan maintain their territory, or expand their territory, Is mechs will not be used. My point is still the same. The gaming base is polarized into two factions right now, and the game is moving towards supporting that split. But rewards for one of those factions requires a maximum monetary investment, while the other faction does not.

[Wildstreak]

Think I will skip Double XP weekend, the more time I take to grind my Mechs up, the more CB I can make, except for the 1 win for the non-edible cupcake.
Thanks for the following:
2 mil CB
1 Mechbay
Unknown standing cockpit item
CN9-AH to go with the -A{C}, is the free Mechbay for it?

I miss the other rewards but still, good stuff.

Lemme guess, AC/20 plus Streaks will be the popular AH build.

Where's the standing pie cockpit item? Seems unfair in the infamous cake vs pie debate that we get one and not the other. Cake will be OP if this is not fixed.

[Aristotelis]

I am proud as an old Founder!!!! Keep going guys, I full support you!!!!!

[Falllenangel]

so is the phoenix overlord package considered top ter for the purpose of getting the king crab ?

Nice one PGI! This is a great gesture and will help with the recent upsets.

I'm very happy about a new Centurion, Atlas and Kingcrab that I will eventually get.

But suprised about Clan Wave 2?! I didn't even know it was coming: http://www.skye-rang...article/2537554

Please use that money to develop some maps also! I know that Mech's keep you guys alive, so keep them coming too, but more maps would help with the popularity for sure.

That's how I uderstand it to be. Would be surprised if the Phoenix Overlord Package wouldn't count.

[Bulletcatcher7]

Are founders eligable for the King crab? If not please explain......

[Tsume Eiranis]

Not saying this is not nice, but the Centurion CN9-AH had been in the game before and was replaced by the YLW. So it is not really a "new" mech but a chassis being returned.

probably not, that'd be a little unfair to everyone else who bought Legendary, Overlord and Masakari packages.

Only Legendary founders

Don't think so. I believe you have to buy one of the top pre order packs, ie Legendary Founders, Phoenix Overlord, or the Clan Masakari pack.

How to check if there are 100 matches since 17 th September? Was it when stats gone reset, so one can just check the count of matches in current non-archived stats?
