We have all of that ready to go for the 17th sorry for the wait

I'm excited for variant list! Wondering if we'll see those ECM support units

[Sarlic]

When you buy the man-o-war. Do you get a Maddog? Masakari OR Man-o-war. Or is it Masakari and GET Maddog?

I can't afford it anyway. Too expensive.

Maybe I missed it, but since the "Invasion version" of the MadDog will only be available through the bonus program, will there be 3 other variants of the MadDog (for a total of 4 MadDog variants)? Without that, there is no way to master it without both clan packs ........

It works just like the other invasion (I) mechs, so the prime will be the (I) version, and there will be 2 others. The regular CB/MC versions will be the same mechs.

Russ,

Any chance you guys can put a "challenge" or stat to show how many games people have played since last year's anniversary? I'm sure there are people who are interested in this stat to see if they qualify / how far they are from completing for the 100 games played bonus.

Stats were reset in March, so if you have 100 games played in current stats, you're fine.

I am a happy camper, having purchased the Masakari pack and all other packs save the founders (which I missed by a couple of weeks) I will have my Maddog next week! Where do I enter my credit card?? Can't wait to come back from work today!

Thanks, PGI, I am all yours!

I expect wave 3 will be the remaining 3 omni mechs plus the Mad Dog (Vulture) for regular players.

Only 1 of the remaining 3 mechs can be put in the game at the moment till they fix MASC, and the Mad Dog will be the first CBill variant available (after the wave 1 mechs), so not likely in a wave 3 pack. More likely we'll get clan mechs in general release like IS mechs (at least the Viper/DragonFly).

I don't expect non-omni mechs from the clans for a while.

Myst Lynx (Koshi) - It says that it has XL 175 but the speed of 118.8 km/h doesn't mach any egine rating, posibly an XL180 = 116.6km/h. Both weigh the same, so can we expect a free engine upgrade on a not so fast Clan light?

It's a rounding error due to how TT works. The mech has a 7/11 movement because you run up on the running speed. Should be 110.25 (I think)

Yep, this right here. 'I just started working, why cannot I buy a house, new shiny car and designer cloths! I have been flipping burgers for 2 months! WTH?'

Even if I decide to start playing again at least this time I wont spend money on them. I wouldn't be butt hurt if they were willing to at least refund me the clan package as I see more value in the IS mechs now and I've never been a fan of those.

What is with you people? You cannot eat 1/2 a bag of chips and decide you would rather have doritos, go to the store and get them to refund your half eaten bag of chips for a full bag of doritos. Self-entitled much? You bought the pack, you played with the pack, buyer beware seems to no longer apply to many people.

You MUST buy BOTH the Warhawk package AND the Gargoyle package. BOTH to get the free bonus Mad Dog on the 23rd.

Link Up yet!... so we can purchase the 2nd wave Man O war Pack.

Yes it is, its horrid that those of us willing put out our money should get something nice. Oh look a founder, you got many nice things that some people who were not around during that time want. I guess we should get all your nice things for free too huh????

If PGI wanted to sell my Founders Jenner again with its ORIGINAL 25% Cbill boost we were stuck with for ages I would literally have zero problem with it

It's covered in digital dirt and they ruined the blue, but be my guest

Also, I have literally not seen a single post asking for the MadDog for FREE only that it be for SALE

People are just angry they can't get their Vulture right noaw. Understandable, but I believe the phrase is "tough". It will be out for free later on, so either be patient or find another game that doesn't follow the F2P model.

I'm glad they decided to add special rewards in.

I would gladly pick up a Founders pack if I could, and a Phoenix. I was not around during those days, infact I could not be around in those days. But to sit and still complain about what people are getting now for paying is just silly. It like a petulant child crying for more. People wonder why Founders get a bad name. Its people who always want more, always complaining.

I am loving this game right now. It keeps getting better. I play with a great group of people that make this game so much more fun that it could be by itself.

I see PGI actually trying to make things better. Working on problems, giving people what they want. But still, people whine and cry. You just cannot make everyone happy. Don't get me wrong, nothing is perfect, but they are trying.

Suggestions: indicate which mechs are omni and which aren't. You could also point which mechs have STD engine. Also, include the production year.

Thoughts:
Lupus is very rare these days.
Crossbow is horrible.

Corrections:
Executioner/Gladiator has MASC.

[SgtMagor]

guess today will see all the new mechs...

I see your point on the Omni/Reg and STD/XL arguments but the limitations was meant to indicate things preventing it from being in game. Fixed the Executioner.
