Well thats some kind of "Loyality"

"You haven`t purchased a previous package to earn the Atlas and you just droped in yesterday ?
Well, just buy the package we brought you today and you are the LOYAL Member of MWO."

Whats with the real loyalists who are supporting the Game from the beginning ??

QFT! This started with first hero (yen-lo-wang if I remember correctly) and bonus 30%, while people who GAVE THE MONEY WITHOUT FINAL PICTURE OF THE GAME, had 25% on their founder mechs...also got only 1 (4) mech, while today every pack gives ya at least 3. I remember how hard it was to raise enough money to buy 2 other atlases for mastering it. This slap in the face of TRUE believers and supporters was corrected after 2 years....and another slap come right after this correction.

Btw keeping my money....black knight was leading the poll for weeks. We get grasshopper. Ill think about buying a pack with BK and Cyclops.


@Russ: That means we WONT get our loyalty mechs (cent and atlas for me) today, coz it will be prolonged?? Almost afraid to hear the answer...

I wouldnt mind to have all the mech packs still avalaible (except founders...and well, maybe without special cammo - invasion for example), but why keep slapping founders/ loyal supporters?

Well of course they will split the Black Knight and the Zeus into seperate packs, just like they did with the Timber Wolf / Mad Dog. These are the most iconic mechs from the earlier games, after all. Zeus is the highlight in pack one, and Black Knight will be in the pack two. You don't want to put both of your stars into the same pack. And I'm pretty sure that the players who voted for BK voted for Zeus too, since they were both in the last MW games.

Not that I have a problem with that, it's just that the Zeus looks awfully similiar to the Battlemaster on the concept art.





I was just expecting something a little more.. different.

It does seem, however, that Battlemaster has better position of the energy hardpoints on torsos, and if they keep those arms for the Zeus it'll will be better compared to where BMR arm weapons are fitted, and while we're at that, they are both much closer together, so.. not that bad, which is the only advantage I can see right now.

As you can see, at least I want BK and Cyclops....wont buy zeus/grasshopper unless I got too much c-bils (never?).

And still ridiculously overpriced.

No, thanks.

Wanted Grasshopper and Zeus hurray :-) , but probably won`t buy this Pack, I haven't mastered all my bought Mechs, yet. Let`s see.

I`m interested how PGI will come up with more than one Variant for the Enforcer.

Great text! Loved the "light Steiner mech" and "powered armor".

Now... will PGI release a DC Zeus version, ECM-capable?

Noone's getting slapped. This is just a game. If you don't want to spend the money, don't spend the money. They are not specifically disrespecting you or anyone else.

How it should be.
Since the Zeus is "somehow" the little brother of the BLR...

Look at both pictures on sarna....same kind of similarities.
The Zeus just has that +1 on sex appeal

So let me ask since I have never bought a pack...If I buy the 80 dollar one I get all four mechs and the variants? It's like buying the whole package right?

Yeah, you get 3 of each mech, and ideally one of each will have a 30% c-bill bonus while the other 2 will be regular variants. You also get whatever freebies they list and you qualify for the free King Crab (and maybe the Atlas and whatever else) later on.

[SgtKinCaiD]

Prime variant ??? Should it be ('R) variant like the (P) for the Phoenix Pack ?

[A big brave boulder of meat]

Love them Grasshopper legs!

[KuroNyra]

Nice package but I'm gonna pass this one.
Legendary Founder.
Phoenix Overlord
Masakari & Man-O-War...

I think I have prooved my loyalty.
Beside, only the grasshopper interest me.
And I'm not gonna spend 60 buck just for that one.

[Drogra]

Will there be an "upgrade" option? $80 is a bit much for me to drop in 1 purchase, but if I can spread it out over few paychecks.....

Well, from what Ive read, many founders feel/ felt the way I feel. There are 3 types of payers - rich ones, believers/ supporters and buyers of product they can try and which suits them. I was a believer - you look like rich one (I want to spend money and I dont care what happens next).

The much anticipated Inner Sphere pack has arrived, code named Resistance.

Players will immediately notice the high value comparable to the Phoenix program where packages range from 20 to 80 dollars. This is primarily based as always on the C-bill to MC ratio which describes the difference between IS and Clan package pricing.

Fans may wonder what our process was for selecting the Zeus and Grasshopper after the forum poll results. In both cases voting was close enough to 50/50 that we felt we could go either way. In the end we felt these 4 ‘Mechs in particular seemed to fit very well together, with other, future packages seeming to be better fits for inclusion of the Black Knight and Cyclops..





Since it is unclear in the graphic: Panther(8th SoL), Enforcer, Grasshopper, Zeus(15th Arcturan Guard)

Not only are they sweet rides... They are displayed with House Colors!

I might have to risk divorce for this Pack!

meh not a big supporter of mech packs. still a decent bang for your buck. u get 3 mechs for 20 bucks reasonable. if u go for 80 buck pack u get the 6 skins+paints and 60 time. 60 day time is atleast another 30 buck value there, assume each paint is different so 18 paints at 500 mc= 9000 in paint, give or take another 30 bucks there. almost double what u paid in random free crap. depends on what u value your money in
