wierd... I can get different paint patters on my DW prime... However, not all of them. My brother has a cool skeletor looking one on his DW-B, but I couldn't seem to find it for the prime. So I would say Yes & No. Sorry I wish I had a better answer for you. =]

If you have a DWF-Prime(I), the Invasion model with the c-bill bonus, you can not change the camo on it.

Exactly the same as with the new clan mechs either added via Clan Pack or ALC; the Prime variant will be a special unique-geometry Invasion variant with a c-bill bonus and locked invasion camo.

Well i mentioned faction pack bonuses for a la carte mechs, because in Wave I you received such bonuses with a la carte mechs.
I ordered Warhawk, and i received one title and one warhorn.

So it would be great if we get something with the a la carte mechs from Wave II too.
It makes sense to give one faction pack with single a la carte mech.

Is my Gargoyle Prime (I) going to be forced to wear Jade Falcon emblems even if I'm representing Ghost Bear in CW? Or are we getting the generic yellow and neon green patterns again?

Also, these faction patterns. Do these only work on the non-prime version, and if I want to use it on a prime version, do I have to purchase a non invasion prime again once they become available? Or since those won't be pre-ordered mechs, I'll never be able to use faction patterns on Prime Variants? So only 8 of the 12 mechs can be used with the Faction Patterns?

It says in the description for the clan Faction content for the Gargoyle Package, that you get the choice of 4 clan contents (out of the choice of 4 means you get all of them). ON top of that regarding the patterns "Clan Patterns for the included mechs". This means you get all patterns for all 12 mechs (plus the pattern for the dissapearing parrot "Polly gone" for all these mechs if you order"ed" on time)

not sure this is correct, if I am assuming correctly, the prime variants are invasion mechs with non changeable camo specs, the clan and polygon camos would only be available on the non-primes. Everywhere I have seen says this:


from this page: http://mwomercs.com/...ons-wave-2-faq/

So I would say no, the preordered primes are invasion primes and are unique in every way

I believe the concept arts are representative of artistic licenses and possibly coordination for the basic default pattern.
Note that the 'regular' versions of the Omnimechs will have a non-changeable Dark Gray color scheme with several changeable highlights that default to Basic Green.

Your Prime's default colors has been (for the Clans) and likely will continue to be the Invasion Orange, Invasion Green, and that's it.


All Prime (I) where the I is for Invasion will have the colors shown above as their defaults, and likely the same general pattern scheme. Invasion mechs will not be able to change patterns. I don't like it either, but PGI reasons this as 1) having them look unique and 2) they have unique pieces of geometry. (Some mechs more than others, for example 'guards', sleeker legs, in the case of the Kitfox a generally sleeker body with sleeker legs. The Adder had a completely different pelvis in addition to other subtle changes.)

You can change the colors.
If you want to change the patterns, you will need to use the non-(I) configs (variants).

I think it'll be nice to have the faction patterns, though. Even if I wish they had taken the Jade Falcon one from Megamek (yellow arms and outer legs, green for the rest) as opposed to a couple of yellow stripes on the shoulders and a yellow belly.

You'll get the preorder bonuses, but not the faction content.

Faction packs are selected in December I believe.

(I) mechs are basically Heroes, and all associated restrictions and bonuses apply.

Is your prime an (I)nvasion model?
(I) marked mechs you cannot change the pattern on

DWF-PRIME you can
DWF-PRIME (I) you cannot

Edit: I see you have the pack - but ya never know, some people DO buy multiples of variants

Ahhh Gotcha! No, I didn't order multiples lol, I'm rich, but not that rich. I gotta say, that is cool but it also kind of bites. At least I'll get my Smoke Jaguar colors I have been wanting ~grins

Yeah, I really wish they would let us have at least one alternative pattern on the hero/invasion/phoenix mechs, just in case we really do not like it. Some of the hero designs are cool, but a couple of them are quite offensive to me and others are just plain horribly boring (invasion and phoenix fall in that bucket).

If you bought Legendary OR Overlord OR Masakari OR Man O War you get the King Crab

Hello,

is the King Crab also aviable for MC and Cbill to buy? Or is it only aviable with a pack?

And how many variants will it be?

Regards

[Ovion]

King Crab will be available for MC the day we receive the Reward Crab and available for C-Bills 2-4 weeks after.
There will likely be 3 Variants total, possibly 4 (3+Hero)

That will be really cool! Have they released any data on the KC, such as hard points, etc...?

Speaking on the note of clan mechs, when does the timberwolf come out for c-bills, is that next week?

2nd week of November.

And by that it probably means the 11th, not the 4th. (side note, apparently the Ice Ferret is being delivered the 4th to those who ordered them.)

I do recall that, but a clan mech has been released for c-bills every two weeks so far, and the adder came out the first Tuesday of the month, not the second. That's what made me confused and wondering if the T-Wolf comes out next week instead of the week after.
