Or just a new inner sphere "invasion response" (or call it whatever you want) pack...

I've onle been here a short time (7 months) but I don't really agree with re-releasing anything that was a founders exclusive....make new available for people

[Angel of Annihilation]

I don't see how this could hurt though I am sure some "collectors" are there would be hurt by their exclusive mechs becoming available again.

Sounds like the perfect time for Operation Clanbuster!

The Hussar. The Wyvern. The Champion. And, of course, the King Crab. One of each weight class, matching the Clan Wave 2. If you already own the Overlord Phoenix pack and buy the King Crab pack, you get the Black Knight thrown in too, just like the Mad Dog for the Clanners. Of course, if you buy the highest rank of the (hypothetical) Clanbuster pack, you've already got the King Crab, so instead you get a free Gargoyle.

Can't forget the BLACK KNIGHT~! He is one of my favs! FREE BLACK KNIGHTS cuz i buyz CLan StuFF? Its not fair otherwise (End Sarcasm)

didn't like 2 of them use melee weapons?

[Artgathan]

So... PGI announces a customer appreciation pack. Suddenly people scramble to claim they were a "good customer" the whole time because something they want is being given away.

Seems legit.

[Revis Volek]

BL-12-KNT Had a Shield and the BL-9-KNT (ClanBuster) had a 5 ton "Long-sword shaped Hatchet" whatever that is.

But plenty of other varaints dont have Melee weapons and the ClanBuster boosts a ER PPC, 2x Med Pulse Lasers and 1x Lrg Pulse laser. Minus the 5 tons for the hatchet and you could put another Large Laser on it for MWO conversion. Also has an XL 300....

Nobody here was talking about free only about alternatives.

Whaaa Whaaa want to spill some poison feel free to do so.

[Pezzer]

This is why you don't make alt accounts. Having duplicate accounts is against the ToS afaik, so you shouldn't have made that mistake. Just do what the rest of us MWO players do and keep everything on one account :/

[Lyoto Machida]

What's the point of pre-ordering a "limited edition" pack if they're just going to be available again?

The reward for buying multiple heros is fine by me.

I left my clan unit and haven't played my clan mechs in quite a while because of how OP/Easymode they felt. I needed to go back to my roots, and am enjoying it more not to mention fighting as IS vs clans it is definitely making me a better pilot in the long run.

Is that Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live? Lol!

[AlexEss]

Well i am not against it. I rather see the founders packs stay as they are. But the phoenix packs.. Heck why not. It is not like they where particularly limited to begin with.

Also they could toss in the same pack upgrade deal that the clan pack get.

Any way my suggestion is that someone poke Russ about this and he can make a call on the viability of it.

[wanderer]

Try to remember- we'll be getting all these chassis later for C-bills.

The loyalty rewards are getting them first. Not "we're the only ones to get them". They'll be out for MC and C-bills later.

As we've already seen displayed by some of those outwardly attacking me over the mere suggestion.

No worries, plenty of other viable solutions have sprang up from the good intentions behind the initial idea, and those who just want to suck their thumbs and pout about the thought of PGI giving older packs another go should at least take a moment to appreciate the merit behind asking for another/new IS pack that would be more appropriate to offer the King Crab with for the sake of lore purists.

And where is the logic that clanners get an IS mech?

The Clans have a sizable amount of IS mechs in storage, before the Invasion and after. That doesn't mean front line warriors were using them, but they had a substantial amount of captured material. I can think of many reasons why IS mechs would be used under Clan control.

The subject isn't about "if" we get them, It's about "how" we get them. Personally, I don't want to have to purchase clan mechs in order to get an IS exclusive. That's just me but I'm glad there are others who agree.

[wanderer]

Most Clan-refit IS designs were for solhama units- that is, people the Clan only thought deserved a chance to die faster, as part of the waste-not-want-no Clan philosophy.

[RussianWolf]

Change the names and cut the cbill bonus in half for an unspecified time.

So instead of the "Founders", you would have the "Originals" or "Fab Four"
Instead of "Phoenix", maybe "Fire Birds"

Same prices as originally paid. Let them have them.

I'm one of the biggest collectors in the game (1 cbill mech needed and 4 Heroes that I'll wait on a sale on, Didn't buy into the gold mechs but that's it) and I'd have no problem with bringing them back, but it should have a temporary penalty. reduce the cbill bonus for a while.
