The redesign of these clan mechs is Awesome!

Not a single complaint here. Not much time for MWO these days because of work, but I feel a lot better spending on these than I did Project Phoenix or how the Clan Pack promo initially went down. PGI has been delivering lately, I can see myself shaving off the 120 and even seeing what a few IS hero/champs have to offer by the time I'm clear to brawl again in my free time.

So...when are we gonna get the Executioner, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Viper fellas...

You know what, I'm patient at this point, take your time and keep doing it right

Apologies if this has been asked in one of the previous billions of comments.

If I order a pack now do I only get the month one bonus or will I also get the bonuses for months 2,3 and 4?

Viper: I would guess that will be the first "standard" clan mech release after these packs given its the last of the 3050 mechs that won't run into issues with MASC.

Executioner: As long as they are hesitant to pull the trigger on MASC mech's and equipment, I highly doubt that this will make the cut. But once they do put MASC in, I can see this being the first ones integrated.

Kodiak / Grizzly: They'll have to figure out what they want to do with Clan Standard mechs. Right now we have fixed equipment because of the notion of omnipods and clan balance, so what they do with mechs that are designated as "standard" non-omni mechs is going to be up in the air until they figure out what to do with them. (Which I imagine is going to have to wait till they balance out the entire IS vs Clan omnitech set.)

You get all of them.

Each of them will be delivered on the delivery date that has been listed.

All of them. Each on the indicated injection date.

Does buying any package give you the rewards?

Because seven weeks of premium and some colors for $30 is decent even if I don't even want the Mist Lynx.

Russ quoted if you upgrade your clan wave 1 to 'Masakari' and buy 'Man O War pack' it will count and you get the Mad dog (as all not of the wave 1 mech's are released yet)

I was referring to the Pre-Sale Reward listed in the 1 year anniversary announcement which I felt was applicable to this topic.

DrSlamastika, on 18 September 2014 - 02:08 AM, said:

There will be some "A la carte" options for purchase like in 1st wawe? I want only Loki and Koshi . . .

You would be stupid to do that. A la carte was useful previously because you were able to purchase a $100+ tier mech for less than it would cost for the package. Buying the Koshi+Loki a la carte would cost you ~$100 going off Wave 1's pricing. Buying the Loki package is more cost effective and you'll get an extra mech and the bonuses that come with the package.

It would only be stupid to do so if you have the extra 20 to spend.

[Punished Wolf]

Might be a stupid question but has anyone explained what the "unique geometry" part of the invasion Mad Dog is? I remember the Catapult had a version with a more pointed torso but what exactly are the differences between the invasion Mad Dog and the ones we can buy in Dec?

Russ,

You mentioned an upgrade path to past "a la carte" customers. Well I bought the 6 clan mechs I wanted ala carte. Are we not able to do so for the new mechs as well? I don't see this "upgrade path" you mention in the announcment. What did I miss?

Thanks!

I read you could contact support, which I did after I went ahead and got the Masakari package to see about getting refunded on my Timber wolf A La Carte package. It's been a day now and I haven't heard anything back from support or gotten a refund, so maybe they're swamped? Otherwise I'm not sure what I'm going to do with 3 pairs of identical Timber Wolves.

I am pretty sure the prices for à la carte will be lower too.

Can you atleast change it so you can buy any of the wave 1 packs (aka I bought a 4 mech la carte which was ALOT OF $$) and be able to get top teir wave 2 to get the MADDOG? I just think your really selling yourself short not letting people get the maddog unless you already bought the wave 1 max pack. Also MADDOG is the only mech I care about. its alittle messed up I cannot even have a chance to buy it unless I rebuy what 4 of my mechs?

Those of us that bought the whole package rather than cherry picking might object.

You can upgrade your package or simply wait for the c-bill version. Its not that long in the scheme of things.

[RotS Targe]

So, I just got the Mist Lynx pack, pretty much only for the Wolf warhorn, the paint and pattern are nice too, but if the wolf warhorn is anything but a glorious howl, I will be one sad clammer.

[sinseer]

If I got the Koshi collection, will the 3 clan paints be applicable to all mechs in my mechbay or only the 2 non prime mechs in the bundle?

Thanks

P.S. The packs look like a no brainer for anyone committed to the game, would be nice if you could choose some IS items instead of the clan ones though..

I wont buy it...

The speed on the light mech is 30 kph too slow. Since I care about light mechs and that is UBER light I won't support it with my $$.

If you beef up the speed on the lynx to at least 135 kph -- ill give you the $120.00

Kit Fox is slower, and amazing.
A light doesn't have to go 150+ to be good.

Same as every other paint - unlocked in the Colours menu for all mechs.
The Camo Specs are only unlocked for the mechs in the pack.

[Hawk819]

I say they should release all the Camo patterns for each faction for free. Just for buying both packages. Cause I would love to put that Jaguar skin all over the Daishi.
