If only it were a Javelin instead of a Panther.

Oh well, probably the next pack will have the Javelin.

Yes one of the main purposes was to give you a package that would qualify you for the King Crab.

Any hope of putting the Phoenix pack back up for sale? IIRC the community was overwhelmingly positive in favor of that (and mostly negative regarding putting the Founders stuff back up).

Panther has me giddy, going to be a great harrasser.
Enforcer looks like he could give the Centurion a run for his money in a brawl...JJs to boot.
Grasshopper....*sigh* i guess ill have to wait for the BK. looks sexy though.
Zeus looks amazing although a bit..tubby....just watch the width on the final model guys...don't want another awesome sized barn-door.

So for 80$ we actually get 5 mechs, 3 variants each, plus all the other stuff?


PANTS SH*T

if you didn't already qualify for the King Crab anyways

Still, like Overlord, this actually brings a pretty reasonable deal. The $80 pack brings $30 value in premium time alone, 12 mech bays worth roughly $20, and all the mechs - 4 of which are effectively "hero" mechs.

If you didn't already qualify for the King Crab, this is an outrageously good deal.

Paypal ready and waiting for the Zeus.

If you zoom in really, really, reeeeaaaally close, you will notice that the Panther cockpit glass has teeth, and a pair of 'eyes' are on top of the head. Alex retained the Panther head motif. o7

Will the Panther be the first IS mech in MWO to be a fire support mech like the equivalent of the Kit Fox and the Adder for the clans? Not too fast but can bring a lot of weapons?

You can already do this with other lights... just take a smaller engine

[DoctorDetroit]

Interesting choices. Nobody thought that the IS 35, 50, and 80 ton weights were already saturated at the moment? Oh well... I will still enjoy seeing and destroying the new mech designs in game soon enough!

[ImperialKnight]

brace yourselves, people complaining about why people paying $80 gets the same reward as them paying $120 are coming


The Zeus looks like it's going to suffer the same problem as the Awesome. Barn door body

People who wanted this should be rejoicing though

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

Nice pack. That beats the clan packs in my opinion. Definite buy

Limited time means limited time.

[Nightmare1]

Nice, although I will dearly miss my beloved Black Knight. I really look forward to seeing these Mechs hit the field!

By the way, what's a "Faction Pack" and would would someone need six of them? Are these going to be like the Hanging Medallions for the Phoenix Pack, with a Loyalty Point bonus?

[Joe Mallad]

This will be MINE!!!!

[Stoneblade]

Very pleased to see this.

The package goes on sale Wednesday. The Loyalty Reward Atlas releases tomorrow. Will there be a grace period in which prepurchases of this new pack, the Resistance Pack, will award players with a loyalty Atlas?

There's plenty of IS purists who missed out on the Phoenix Package, and didn't prepurchase any of the Clan packs at all, which means they can't get the Atlas.

3 out of the 4 'mechs in Phoenix weren't very good... tricky to say whether these four will add anything new to the game or be any good at all. I bought Phoenix and I only really ever use the Shadow Hawk so was fairly disappointed with it.

[Appogee]

Dear PGI,

After you've delivered my Clan Reinforcement pack, and the part of Community Warfare where we actually do battle for planets, then I will entertain talk of further Mech purchases.

#Kthxnobuy

[990Dreams]

Shut up and take my money!

Since I haven't bought anything since founders but still support PGI I have no guilt about very quickly pre-ordering this.
