but you get all of the timed rewards if you purchase before nov 30, right?

i mean i know it was that way on the collections before. but if you look at the page without knowing that you may think you will always get just one of the timed rewards exclusively depending on the month of purchase.

Premium Time Stacks, but the Maximum limit for Premium time is a Year. So, if you have a year of premium time Saved up and you get more Premium time in Mech Packs it will accumulate to a year's worth and the rest falls into the void.

... we were hoping for an ECM Heavy... that's what people were voting for... why you no do this PGI? Why?

The Black Knight doesn't get ECM until late int eh 3060 time line and into Dark Ages. the BK had ECM in MW4 and I think people voting for it were confusing that historical point.

Granted, if PGI wanted to, they could have allowed ECM on the BK, and they may yet still. They have license to warp the timeline as their needs fit and even make up mechs (see the ENF-5P with dual UAC5s), so anything's possible.

My point is, I think many people voted or the BK out of MW4 nostalgia and/or the assumption it would have ECM, when there is no evidence it would have ECM in 3049.

While Apnu, is right about ECM Black Knight is not in the current time line. Keep in mind; neither is the Awesome 9M or the Dragon 1C. So in reality nothing is really stopping them from adding that variant. Although, it does make it less likely.

My bad.

Question: Will these mechs have IS quirks right away?

If so, when will the quirks be announced?

[Summon3r]

DAMN YOU PGI!! you have just cost me a further $80 and taken food off my table ... very happy about the recent turn around of things at PGI without IGP

Well guys, it's been nice knowing you. I just purchased the Resistance Wrath Pack. When my wife finds out, she is going to kill me and scatter my remains across the Inner Sphere. Remember me when CW comes out. Fight in behalf of our beloved Archon in my name.

Just kidding, she'll get over it. I'll just have to buy her something. Anyone have any suggestions? How about her own Wrath pack? LOL.

hmmm pretty much disappointed with this package. I have purchased all the others, but this packages, appears to bit a tad bit slow...I believe my dire is faster than these mechs...oh well, will have to forego the wrath deal...will there ever be a clan mech that can compete with the I.S. jenner in terms of speed, agility,firepower? Or will PSI nerf the Jenner too?

There's always the Jenner IIC when the Nova Cats come into play. Also, the Mist Linx is the same speed as the IS Jenner.

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.

The PNT-10K, ENF-5D, GHR-5J, and ZEU-9S are all late 3040s or 3050 'Mechs. The other variants (except the special Enforcer variant) are all centuries old.

The AWS-9M Awesome came out in 3049 in the canon timeline. And the DRG-1C Dragon was the original Dragon version.

After Nov 4th, your not going to be able to swing a dead "cat" by the tail without hitting a Atlas AS7-S
Did anyone else notice last night (PUG), If there were 4 Atlas's in game matchmaker put them all in the same lance?
2 d-dc's and 2 AS7's cruzin the Town what a great way to ROLL

I've rolled as AS7 lances a few times already. It's a very cool mech!

I'm seriously tempted by this pack... Just a question of when!

[Desintegrator]

Nice package !
Soon it will be sold out....

[Malleus011]

I too think the ZEU-6S should be the Resistance Variant. I get the 3050 variant vibe PGI is going for, but would prefer the 6S.

Most of the girls I know go nuts over Betty Neels novels.
Probably not enough to fogive me for spending money I "shouldn't have" but enough to soften the blow when they hit me.

Jenner can change it's engine though - and usually does.

Not to mention will have more flexibility with weapon tonnage.

I have the same problem. Wife's birthday is next month so for me it is....spend on her or get me something since her mom gets her everything.
That just makes my choice for the game easier and easier.

I would love it if they back fill ECM on appropriate historical mechs. Pity aren't in a time line with the ECM hunchback. My life would be complete if I had ECM on my Hunchie.

Ordered... the Clans will feel my wrath.    
I remember using the Grasshopper on the old hex boards.
Would have loved to see the Black Knight as well... next time maybe.

I wish the "hero" variants seemed a bit more useful, the double AMS variants are all the least interesting to me.

The 4R and 8Z would be much better hero variants, hopefully quirks will make the double AMS low hard point 'mechs useful?

Grasshopper and Zeus heroes (assuming it's the first one listed) look OK, though I'd probably pick an 8 energy Grasshopper as my hero if I could.

The "hero" variants (they are technically "champions" because they are not named) have always been the stock or prime variant of any given chassis. HBK-4G, AS7-D, TBR-Prime and so on. PGI has never changed this policy and has never signified they ever will.

I've yet to find a good, useful, and even competitive build on any of the "champion" mechs from any of the mech packs. In fact, my TDR-5S(P) is one of my most well loved and most successful mechs.

Loyalty reward: King Crab

QUESTION:

If I already have all the previous packs AND buy this one, that means, I'll recieve 2 King Crabs?

Go get two (2) tickets to the movie "The Best of Me"... Then watch it with her. Now tell her about the Wrath Package... If she complains inform her that each minute you had to watch that crappy movie cost you a moment of your life and the going rate is $1 per minute .... and she just spent $118 so step off my Wrath Collection! Hell, with the $38 difference, maybe SHE can put out a little something something to even the spending difference haha
