neat but also funny that the standard version of all these mechs have the same top speed. The mechs looks great so it is certainly tempting

Important question: How much beer can be stored in the Zeus shoulder pads?

The PNT-10K, ENF-5D, GHR-5J, and ZEU-9S will be the included special 'Mechs, with limited edition geometry/camo and a 30% rewards bonus.

Shouldn't the ZEU-6S be the 'Hero' variant? It's the iconic/original variant, really. If you guys picked the AS7-D for the 'Hero' and the HBK-4G for the 'Hero', why break that pattern of picking the 'iconic' variant now? You may lose some purchasers over this, as many (due to past precedent) have come to expect that the most common variant will be the Hero.

There is also the balance/viability aspect; potential quirks aside, the ZEU-9S is also, frankly, not very good (in terms of the hardpoints you have assigned it). Short of some serious bonus to energy weapons, this 'mech will seldom ever see use.

The Panther faces the same issue, really; the PNT-9K is the 'iconic' variant, not the one that has been selected.

Could we have an explanation on these choices, which do deviate from past precedent?

I had little hope but i'm still sad we will not get the ZEU-6Y and it's Blazer.
Still i will get the Wrath package as soon as i can.

It's a bit of a bummer that the Zeu-6S isn't the "hero" variant =/

[LiGhtningFF13]

... Zeus already in my caddy!

[The Boz]

So wait, let me get this straight... Since the AS7-S has been "prolonged" to Nov 4, if I buy the Resistance Panther pack now, I get the AS7-S?

[freud2b]

why pack clan II 120$ with 30 days premium time reward and Resistance 80$ with 60 days premium time reward ???

I hope that if you have already purchase a clan II pack. and resistence pack is purchased, it will be entitled to 2 crab mech, it would be legitimate ???

Otherwise the people who just bought the clan II will really lose compared to those who do not buy it: O. (And then it will be without me ...) thx

I don't know about the common ones since I'm not that big on lore, but I'll be happy to take the ER PPC Panther as the main resistance variant since I'm looking to have a light ER PPC sniper with the proper quirks! I do agree that Ballistic Zeus would've been more fun than Energy/Missile Zeus though.

KA-CHING!

I love how the "Resistance" mechs are already in the ballpark of 70 years old by the time of the clan (lightyears ahead in terms of tech) invasion.

I was hoping for ZEU-6S as a special variant...

Edit: or not... that actually means that i can actually use a camo spec on my favorite zeus variant.!

Seriously PGI... when can we have camo specs on the package exclusive variants... the texture files are almost identical.!!!

because those were all Omnis. also, it does seem to be something's C-bill cost seems to affect its MC cost (and package cost most likely). it's probably been changed...but... a Mad Cat Prime is the cost of roughly THREE Atlases, but you're getting a mech, when fitted right, is capable of going toe-to-toe with mechs much larger than it. Clan tech is higher tech, so you pay more. you get what you pay for, you pay for what you get. nuff said.

You don't like it, stop being a Clanboi.

Make it count PGI, your recent communication, as well as listening to the bug reports I've been making (and fixing them at that) has convinced me to throw 130$ (Resistance Pack + 50$ worth of MC) at you this month.

Keep up the good work, and I am sure I will continue to spend money.

Yeah I'm gonna hold off myself lordy see what the next few patches bring with qwerks

To be eligible, you will have to have purchased a Founders, Phoenix, Clan Wave 1, Clan Wave 2, or Resistance Collection of any level.

of ANY level?
that means: someone buys the light mech resistance pack for 20$ and gets the atlas, right?
