I would imagine at 10 AM Pacific time, like all their patches are

Pre-Sale Reward

This reward is for players who have purchased any pre-sale program package. This includes any level of Founders, Phoenix, Clan Invasion Wave1 and 2 packages, or a la carte mechs. Eligible players will receive an exclusive new Atlas variant - the AS7-S - decked out with a custom paint job, along with a 30% C-bill Bonus and a free Mechbay. This custom AS7-S variant will only be available through our Pre-Sale Reward program and will be injected into eligible accounts on October 21st. You have until Sept 23rd at 10:00 am PDT to earn the Pre-Sale Reward. Standard versions of this new variant will be available for C-Bills at a future date to be determined.

Russ,

So, since the Inner Sphere Resistance Pack has been announced, can you officially announce an extension on the Pre-Sale Reward for the AS7-S being extended to include pre-sales of the new pack?

Pretty please with sugar on top?

Damn, I was late for this Bought the Cat bundle, but work kept me from getting home on time. Woe is I! Woe!

I don't know if it's been mentioned, because there's 60 pages of feedback at the time I post this, but none of the gift 'Mechs we ever receive are Clan based. Which means Clan players will never be able to field them in real game play. They're nice gifts but we can't use them so thanks but no thanks.

Two things: 1) I received a Mad Dog gift set, which is Clan, and 2) liking your own post is tacky, as well as against forum policy

1) Same for me.
Beside, you can use them in normal battle. So quiet your whining.

2) DEFINITLY. You are placing shame on the Clan Wolf by doing that!

This was only given to people who purchased the two most expensive packages to date (I have every package at maximum tier, so yes, I got it too). The majority of players do not fit in this group so please don't even try to use the very exclusive Mad Dog as evidence against my pointing out a real trend that has shown its self.

$240 package + $120 package = Mad Dog. Not a gift to the community, that's a gift to people shelling out.

And how many 'gift' mechs did you recieve, I was given both a centurion and an atlas, but they both involved my paying for the game too, and there were 2 challenges I know of that had mechs for prizes, but those involved earning them.... I do not recall a single thing being given to us without us paying for it in some way. Granted 5 wins in 3 days is simple to do, but being given something means, "look, you did NOTHING and here is a gift for it."

The threshold to reach the "shelling out" level is totally subjective, but your argument is invalid regardless. As Uminix points out, none of the rewards has been a 100% completely free "gift", as every one of them required something from the user. One of those, the Mad Dog, was a Clan mech, and therefore invalidates your previous argument.

Its nice to see PGI give something back to the player base that isn't a crappy, useless, decorative item.

Still, seems like another attempt in diverting peoples attention away from the fact there is still no loooooooooong promised community warfare.

It will be here when it gets here, so try not to complain just to complain. They have been sharing lots of info lately, and that is the important thing to focus on.

[Commander Kruge]

Since the as7-S was a pre-sale reward, is this chassis going to ever be available to those of us that bought the Resistance Wrath Pack?

[Alaskan Nobody]

Yes - simply without the paint scheme or cbill bonus

No ETA on when that I could find though - just a note in the FAQ that it was coming for cbills

[Cimarb]

I asked Russ on Twitter and will let you know if he responds.

Well, potentially, but it looks like the upcoming patches will in fact finally deliver on that promise. I'll believe it when I see it, but the information we have been getting has been way more concrete than those confusing and contradictory "90 days to CW" promises and hubbub of the IGP days.

Hey, i have got a question about the King Crab release:

Will there be just one Crab at the launch date or 3 variants? Is there any post about a release date for them?

It's right there on
http://mwomercs.com/...iation-program/
All Standard variants of this chassis will be available for MC December 16th and C-bills January 20th.

I wish the CBill release wasn't a month away, maybe 2 weeks apart would be good
