Obviously the full concept images on Wednesday

Will there be full mech details as well?

Yes obviously the Mad Dog requires a significant investment and I would have given that away for free as well if I could but there are financial limitations. Thanks to all our supporters.

So if you never purchased the Masakari Pack the Mad Dog will be impossible to purchase?

they put the most populair mech in the history of battletech behind a 210 dollar paywall. and now they put the second most populair clan mech behind a 360 dollar paywall sorry but thats taking advantage of your customers no matter how you look at it. I have to buy 330 dollars worth of mechs i dont want to get the one I do want (not counting the timberwolf)

No. If you want it as soon as possible ... you pay for it. You can always wait until it is available for MC or Cbills and buy it then. From the sounds of it ... that should be no later than another 4 to 6 months for most of the mechs.

PGI has done a great job with these incentives. Hopefully, it will drive revenues sufficiently that they can continue developing MWO and finish it.

The "paywall" here is for early access, early adopters and if you are feeling altruistic, to support PGI to complete the fundamental features of MWO and continue development.

Unless you upgrade to the Masakari Pack, then you can. Or you can wait for the CB versions, which are in front of the line when it comes to the second wave mechs. After the Warhawk, the Mad Dog is released. Then the Mist Lynx, Ice Ferret, Hellbringer, and Gargoyle.

You won't be able to purchase the invasion version of the Mad Dog ... however, I am certain that the regular version of the Mad Dog Prime will eventually be available for MC and Cbills since it is iconic and a favourite of many players.

Ah thank you! I wasn't aware you could still buy the pack. The Mad Dog & Loki have always been some of my fav clan mechs. Decisions decisions.

First rewards, then this?

[kronologyjdd]

do the single clan mech packs and i would buy the mad dog and the loki for sure. i never could afford the top tier's.

[Fire and Salt]

Man-O-War, eh?

Just 8 more years until we get the cougar, and then we can have an entire 3-3-3-3 team of clan mechs with the same top speed

[Finlos]

So that leaves the Fire Moth, Viper, Vulture (maybe?), and Executioner. Might as well call Phase 3 the 'Ghost Bear' pack.

Seriously, Could we get these with MASC tonnage / crits as place-holders until the equipment is released as working? Something like you did with the Command Module.

Think of the Mad Dog as completely within the realm of the Clan Wave programs.

Your Legendary and Overlord is going to get you every reward up until the Clan one. Iniside the Clan one it is just about Masakari+Man O War.

We are adding the ability to upgrade out of A La Carte to Masakari for those that wish to. Otherwise the Mad dog and the other 4 will be available for MC and C-Bills on a release schedule like Wave 1

While you're at it, would it be possible for you to add the ability to upgrade to GOLD mechs (or buy them individually)? Better yet, how about also offering a gold Mad Dog and even any Wave 2 mech?

That would be most appreciated, Russ. I've been itching to buy the new Sparky Griffin. In all honesty, not being able to purchase the MC needed lead me to playing some Battlefield4 (I know... blasphemous right?!?) and going out to a live music festival. I had fun... but it was hot outside

Make sure to check with your financial institution some have found out that their bank has a block on countries outside of the US. Rememer we are in Canada.

This has fixed things for some, but I am still having CS look into it.

Vulture is the Mad Dog

The Fire Moth, Executioner and Viper would make my day being all CGB orientated mechs. I would be perfectly fine without MASC for the introduction of the chassis.

Now still need to find the $120 for the Gargoyle pack.

[WVAnonymous]

I think I'm opting out of this one.

Per my signature, I'm only halfway through mastering the other half of the Masakari package, plus the house sales sucked me in. I haven't even started Cicadas, Banshees, Trebuchets or Kintaros yet. I have an Atlas I haven't even looked at in the mechlab.

Too lazy to add the "1st world problem" meme...

There is already an Assault mech with ECM, what's the big deal?

Clan only have a single Light with ECM.

CW matches are faction restricted, so Clan teams won't have (for example) D-DC ECM support.

[Mercer Skye]

So out of 16 pages...the only thing I'm still iffy on; The 'pre-purchase' bit for the Mad-Dog qualifier is just a misnomer, yes? As in, so long as I buy the Man-o-war package before the 16th(sic) of December, I can still get it?

The 23rd of Sept date is just there so people who can purchase the package early know when to expect it?

[Kiiyor]

Look at all the happy gifs. This is the first thread I've seen in a while where the joy is flowing faster than the vitriol.

Excitement! I don't have much else to say. This is awesome, and I am happy.

[Sevronis]

Dangit. Was really hoping for a Shadowcat.
