Excuse me for not reading thru 35 pages of replies.

I'd like to know:
for those of us who purchased clanmechs a la card and do want to own a invasion vulture. The only option to get it is to rebuy all previously bought "a la card mechs" in form of the masakari package?
There is no way to "upgrade" "a la card" purchases to packages (like a lower tier package to a higher one) nor does a full "a la card" purchase (6 out of 6 mechs) equals a package purchase. Currently and planned, right?

They are working on a way to "pay the difference" to upgrade to warhawk pack.

[The Boneshaman]

What configurations do you think they will use? these are my choices. what's yours?

Mist Lynx (Koshi) has 4 configs. I'm thinking
Prime B, C< always thought it was a stupid idea to put ECMs in the arms also Looking at you Kit Fox

Ice Ferret (Fenris) has 4 configs this ones a hard one
Prime A, C

Hellbringer (Loki) has 3 Configs unless they pull one from a later time like the TWolf S
Prime A, B

Gargoyle (Man-O-War) has 4 Configs. should have been the Executioner (Gladiator)
Prime A, B

Mad Dawg oops dog (Vulture) has 4
Prime A, C
I may change this to add torsos and arms or I may change my choices if or when I pullout my record sheets to factor in hard points

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?'

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.

Thank you!

Pls remember that both Command console (IS) and targeting computer (CLAN) were sold BEFORE implemented.

Even MASC can be removed for some months with HS or ammo.

So it's a "don't want", not a "not possible" scenario.

SOOOOOO many people like vulture are forgetting PGI is a business in the game industry to make a profit and a living for its owners and staff.

They can market their product any way they like.

Oh no, Holden is bringing out a custom spec HSV R8 car that will be $80K! How dare they! They should sell it too me for food stamps and not real money or even better, give it to me free as I've bought all the previous model V8 Commodores...

That, dear Vulture and friends, is just how ludicrous you sound.

Actually if you took some time to research this, Russ has stated, in the Town hall most recently, that they are already at the limits with some stuff at the current speeds mechs go. Not to mention we have mechs going 150 that were never meant to go that fast. If they implement MASC it will only make worse the issues we already have with Hit detection.


I'm confident that a locust would run into its own laser if it fired it while running MASC in this game.

MACS CANNOT (not will not) BE IMPLEMENTED CORRECTLY, EASILY, EFFICIENTLY, OR PROMPTLY AT THIS TIME.

[Tastian]

They could always use MASC on slower vehicles like the Gladiator couldn't they?

[Scrad]

so about 23:00 UK time I am expecting the announcement as that's about normal time for stuff that they do.

All those complaining that they can't get the Mad Dog/Vulture because it's behind a $360 pay wall really need to read and they will discover that it will become available at a later date for MC then C-bills.

Those saying about a-la-cart upgrades not qualifying properly then consider that the release of wave 2 has been delayed so they can sort this issue out for you.

I remember the 200kph trollmando's in beta and people wanting MASC right now are obviously unaware of the sheer problems that mechs moving that speed make for the servers and clients (mechs warping all over the place and being really unhitable because the server struggles to update their location etc). These problems were seen in beta and led to the engine restrictions that are in place.

Weirdly enough I have tested game for maximum fall speed in middle of desincs , it's 240 m/s with is about 1300 Kph, and while falling in to oblivion at super sonic speeds it seamed that weapons where functioning normally. But who knows, it only visual side of game in delirious conditions. Yet 1300 Kph... makes me dream about aerospace fighters and LAMs.
