Any info on wave 2 a la carte dates??

[LiGhtningFF13]

This time I don't react, I will wait until I can buy them with normal CBills. Already invested too much of a good thing!

Due to the Wave 1 no longer being 'pre-order' it won't count if our alacarte is upgraded to Masakari correct? (I wouldn't pre-ordered Masakari if I'd known I'd need it to get the Mad Dog.)

If so I'll be snagging the Man O' War Friday!

Masakari counts if bought at all.

And will count up till at least December 16th. (Or as long as the Clan Packs are available).

I think something that would work in their favour (in some ways), is an 'ultimate pack', that combines the Masakari and Man O' War into one package, listing all the extras for $360.
I've already purchased both, but those that haven't and want to, this'd be easier / more attractive for some (being one click, and laziness).

The point of this is that they want you to buy the full package to make more money, so some people who would of just go with 1 $30 pack now spend $120 instead, if they lower it they would need to make equal money. So in your example 4 mech's from wave 1 = $120 and 4 from wave 2 = $120 so total $240 now they need to make the mad dog $120 to make up for the shortfall in revenue. Or you could of got both packs for $360 and got all the other goodies aswell.

the way i see it is that it is so steep that unless you already have all the wave 1 mechs or close to it there isn't much point in getting the man O war pack if you are mainly interested in the mad dog, because it is out for MC in December and cbills in January, that's about fore months i can wait that long, tho I would have payed another $30 if you just needed the manowar pack, they could make it one or the other i mean they gave us the saber reinforcement pack for $20 when we bout just one tear of the Phoenix program.

Oops, i did it again...... took the entire pack. So day 23 starting Vulture?
Only thing i'm not happy is the ECM Mist Lynx: only 2 weapons on right arm? Will not survive very long time.....

[PyckenZot]

I need moar mechs!

Thanks PGI :-)

[Tooninki]

Feels like Pokemon, gotta catch them all.
"Had" to buy Man-o-War pack so i can get the Hot Dog aka Mad Dog...

[K19]

1º Please fix the game. 2nd launch the IS mechs to be able to have a more balanced game. 3rd not it worth buying something that is always changing.

[Ovion]

It's pretty steep yeah, but you get a lot for it.

For me, personally (Purchased Kit-Fox preorder, upgraded to Masakari post so didn't get all the Polygon Camo)
With the Masakari Pack, Man O' War Pack, and the purchase of some MC, as well as playing 100+ matches I'll get:

18 Premium Colours

That's 217,300 MC's worth of mech.
13,200 MC in Mech Bays.
19,000 MC in Cockpit items.
204 days of Premium Time worth 18,500 MC.
18 Colours worth 18,000 MC.
25 to 65 Camo Unlocks worth 31250-81250 MC.
22,000,000 C-Bills (worth roughly 8,800 MC)
For 326,050 to 376,050 MC's worth of stuff, for US$1305 (GB£800) to US$1505 (GB£925)
Purchase Price: US$360 (GB£225)

I'm happy with that to be honest.
Mechs alone, that works out to US$8.50 (GB£5) each. (£4 if you subtract the mechbay each comes with.)

Remember the Mad Dog!

[Will9761]

I'll be getting the Mist Lynx only, just for the Wolf Faction content.

[Sardauker Legion]

For that payment problem: using a pre-paid MasterCard. Never had problems, all ever goes right.

[DrSlamastika]

I just missed the dead line for playing one year but I have over 3,000 games played that's more than some people that have palyed this game since closed beta.. So with that being said it kinda sucks that I will miss out for the active player reward.

You miss out on nothing.

Want the Cent? Buy MC. (or have already bought MC)
Want the Atlas? Buy the first tier of the either clan pack (I'd recommend the second one, lots of pre-order goodies for $30)
Want the King Crab? Buy the Man-O-War pack.
Want to play 100 games since September 2013? You've already done that.

Will the Faction Specific Paint Schemes work on all the mechs? clan mechs only? or just the Wave 2 mechs?

Colors will work on all mechs, period.

Skins will show up on any Wave2 mechs ordered (So, if you get the top pack this month, all 4 wave 2 mechs will have Polygon, and the 4 clan skins as well as the basic skin, except the (I) variants.

Faction Warhorns:
Someone remembers the Diablo 2 Cow Level???

[Roper Band]

Any pics of the King Crab?

[Ragnar Bashmek]

The heavies and the GAR are interesting but being an IS MW I probably will not waste money or C-bills on them. A couple of them are definately going to tilt the Clan/IS balance..... adversely from my IS perspective.

So when will we get some useful new IS Mechs? I bought a VIN but it's close to useless, I'm looking for a heavy or assault.

Or some new weapons would be good like say a UAC10.

[Sagedabluemage]

ooo i like the mechs coming in. tho i did ala carte the first time i think imma buy the man o war pack this time. tho i really like the inclusion of color schemes and patterns thats kewl.

i also like the fact that they are making note of quirks and tweaks for mechs instead of just weapons. you could potentially
reinvigorate mechs that arent in as much use. Good to hear. Cheers! \0/

[Beaching Betty]

WOW! I'll give you guys my $90 soon too bad that vulture is for the $360 package :') Sad life..
