Although we had intended to open Wave 2 for sale today, we needed more time to ensure the quality of the Wave 2 web page which includes upgrade paths to past a la carte customers.

Therefore we plan to open Clan Wave 2 sales on the 1 year anniversary date of Wednesday September 17th at 4pm.

In the meantime this should answer the majority of your questions regarding the package:

Well played PGI, Well played...

Quick question, if I bought a gold clan mech, will my Mad Dog also be gold?

Seriously, this is a damn fine idea.

The Koshi didnt go into Production until 3091 and its BASED off of the Mist Lynx. Think if you are going to have Clan Mechs you should use the Clan Names, that way you dont get Mechs from the wrong timeline.

Ok. I just soiled myself. I will be back in 10..... No make that 15 minutes. I just soiled myself again.

That's a short time frame on the purchase to the bonus mech. I need time to gather up some money. What would the final deadlines look like? Cash is a little slim around here.

yes Sept 23rd at 10am PDT for the Active Player, MC and Pre-Sale rewards.

Lots of time for the Top Tier and Ultimate Clan programs

http://www.sarna.net...ist_Lynx_(Koshi) Koshi is the IS name for it. They have it correct.

[VoodooLou Kerensky]

On another note if your going to have a mech from 3091 wheres the Cauldron Born which WAS in production in 3049? (and was obviously used as a Garrison Mech until the Battle of Luthien when it finally made it to the Front Line in 3052)

[Sp4rtan]

Quick look at the mech themselves:

The Koshi looks to be a much better Clan Light than what we have... and it has 2 ECM variants (not sure of the timeline though) but would be still slow compared to the Commando even with Speed Tweak. It might be better than the Kitfox, but we'll see.

The Fenris is a dangerous balance issue... as with speed tweak, it is like a Cicada on crack, and will chase mechs @ 140kph. That is going to be something to look at.

The Loki is what it is, and I'm not sure if it'll be good or bad, but 65 tons @ 81kph is always scary.
Edit: Stock ECM on the prime variant will make it highly desirable, given no comparing mechs on the IS side to be found at the moment.

The Man O' War may be a nightmare for balance. Considering the Victor's nerfs, the Man O' War carries a 400XL engine, which puts the cap limit to shame (unless, you have a Dragon Slayer, but then you factor in the natural torso twist nerfs). Loadouts is up in the air, but the mere tonnage consumption for a large engine can limit it a bit. Still, it would be more durable than a Victor due to XL engine superiority (to be changed and reevaluated when it finally gets a penalty for the loss of a side torso).

The Man O War is AWFUL. The fact you think it is a balance problem just shouts you have an axe to grind or didn't look at the pod space before spouting off.

My rebuttal

[SageOfBattle]

Just a quick question for those of you who know the tabletop game, I looked up the Loki on sarna.net (See here http://www.sarna.net...llbringer_(Loki) ), and the Prime variant lists it as having 4 Anti-Personnel Pods. I have two questions about those. Firstly, do they weigh anything/take up any critical slots? And If they do, how will MWO handle them

You are confused. We are not getting the 3091 Koshi. We are getting the Mist Lynx also known as Koshi.

Yes that is right, that goes for the MC reward, pre-sale, top-tier and ultimate clan - still time to achieve them

I'm definitely going to hold you to that.

From Sarna:

The Koshi you speak of was a later non-omni mech based off of the older design.
