2) medium guess who
3) medium: SCORPION! (pleeeease... I don't see a quadruped sinde mw2!!!!....)
4) heavy: Archer anyone?
5) assault: Thunder Hawk ....gausss powerrr.....

Make something with double shoulder cannons. Like the K2 except maybe with Ballistic slots and bipedal.

You would like the tian zong then...

Ehi, I was a real killer/assassin with "the assassin" in mw2
And with great stats.
It's a master mech in the "hit and run" mission.

Don't bring up a mech sporting both Angel ECM and Stealth Armor while we're trying to get ECM straightened out, you madman.

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

I wouldn't really have a problem with a limited re-release of the Phoenix Package, but I would be a bit concerned if the founders 'mechs were available. I'm not saying I'm any more dedicated than a new fan, but I was dedicated earlier (which is what I feel my gold badge represents ... that and I'm either a "whale" or have more money than sense ... there's probably a bit of truth to all three).

A new IS package, however ... no brainer ... Archer, Marauder, Warhammer, Rifleman ... but we know that isn't going to happen.

I don't know enough about the TRO and the exact release dates in canon, but possibly four IS 'mechs that have experiemental builds with limited availability in the current timeline (bonus points if the experimental builds are the +30% variants).

I want to hear your thoughts now on this, because it takes significant resources to develop one of these packages and we would need to have some idea on what the support level would be, how many would be interested?

QFT - maybe it shouldn't be the last sentence when all guys went crazy.

Should man power be shifted from other tasks wkth possible delays in all aspects of the game -only that some guys get a King Crab for free?

[HellJumper]

well yes people will buy it..so just give them these three mechs

Urbie
Warhammer
Zeus

i know you dont have the rights for it but change the design a little bit and smack them to us..

Deadline March 2015

If it means an Urbie? Then yes!

[Redbackz]

Would it be feasible to offer an IS ala carte pack? Still pay the $80 or what ever it is you choose to offer but choose the variants we want from the Light to Assault range. E.g 3 light variants, 3 medium variants etc.

You could use the current variants available but offer a Premium bonus. Myself I would like Cbills be it 30% or less, or it could be a Champion bonus for the variants lacking the option.
Or you could simply create a new bonus perhaps Cbills + XP combination for Premium variants.

I am always dissapointed when I get in my favourite variants, and know that I will be lacking any bonus at the end of my match because I could not purchase a Hero / Champion version.

At least this option would not require new mechs and it could be applied to future mechs as another option for us to support your F2P game.

...quiet you!



PGI, I want to order one of these things or something that looks like it and can reasonably carry at least 2 UAC5s.

First thought, if you take a "stab" at HG you will have our support, we would follow you to stab them Roman Senate style.

Stuff the Zeus into a IS Package and you have my 80$

Russ Bullock, on 18 September 2014 - 09:31 PM, said:

Yes as stated in one of my replies this pack would come after CW just by the nature of the time it will take to make.

This is good to hear, in that case no worries from my end. I hope this applies to a map or two as well. But that might be wishful thinking on my part.

[Black Ivan]

After the total underwelming Phoenix Packages I will double check on any future IS packages.
Many of the Mechs in it are horrible or useless, like the Locust. The Thunderbolt isn't that good either and the Griffins' hit boxes are too big,the Battlemaster dies to Center Torso most time.

I disagree about the Locust being horrible and useless it requires talent to keep moving and shooting.

Well, I am not so sure, new chassis may mean new variatns right? because actually I doubt you cna make 4 absolutely new mechs in a valid short time.

What about offering IS players a special pack with more choice, lets say:

light reinforcement pack: 30$ 3 light mechs of players choice
medium reinforcement pack: 60$ 3 light and 3 medium mechs of players choice
heavy reinforcement pack 90$
Assault reinforcement oack 120$

depending on how sweet you wanna make that deal allow 1 of the older hero IS mechs per weight class to be chosen as well

Throw them in some nice goodies as well, you know llike clanners standing items, colors and hanging items of the IS to choose.

make also a la carte for giving a choice to buy only a specific class choice pack.

With the ability to choose, even the older IS palyers should find some mechs they do not own yet.

[vulpusrex]

As someone who missed out of the founders and phoenix do to financial difficulty's at the time i would like to support a new IS pack, i see the clan wave 1 and 2 and want to support but i frankly don't find clan mechs appealing at all so im at a loss. As a side note, as i was introduced to mechwarrior through mechwarrior darkage, if you put hatchetman in a pack you have a instant buy from me, she and go cho dimitri sorken in his jes 2 always found its way into my force ^^.

Here r my ideas to give IS Lovers a chance without creating a 4 new Mechpack on haste.

1. Offer the possibility to upgrade the founders and phoenix packs

and

2. Bring the phoenix pack back in sale

or

3. Offer a 80$ package kinda a la carte. Means people buy a IS pack with a light, medium, heavy and assault mech but they choose wich chassis it would be.

I agree with Inner Sphere colors I have been looking for a way to get the exact colors for FRR in MWO for awhile I just didn't know how. I did pre-order the clan invasion pack 2 only for the Mad Dog and yes I do have the first one aswell for it. I know that I will be stuck with IS mechs for CW but if this pulls out some good mechs from the IS universe I will preorder it too.
