I don't think that that is true dude.

We're both correct:

Pre-Sale Reward
This reward is for players who have purchased any pre-sale program package. This includes any level of Founders, Phoenix, Clan Invasion Wave1 and 2 packages, or a la carte mechs. Eligible players will receive an exclusive new Atlas variant - the AS7-S - decked out with a custom paint job, along with a 30% C-bill Bonus and a free Mechbay. This custom AS7-S variant will only be available through our Pre-Sale Reward program and will be injected into eligible accounts on October 21st. You have until Sept 23rd at 10:00 am PDT to earn the Pre-Sale Reward. Standard versions of this new variant will be available for C-Bills at a future date to be determined.

What the Pre-Sale reward variant provides, is a 30% C-Bill Bonus.

Looks like they swapped the Zeus 9S for the 6S as the 30% Boost mech. Good call PGI.

I just reserved the fire pack. I'll be upgrading to the wrath pack eventually.

I'm realy don't get it... most of mech and their variants are Energy boats. While clans have brutal missle and ballistic mechs we get heavily nerfed energy mechs. Sorry i'm pass this one.

[The Great Unwashed]

I didn't drink any wine last evening so that saved me the $20 for a Fire Pack. This time the paypal purchase went smoothly and I was sober enough to notice. The Zeus Prime sounds actually really useful... who knows... running around in a Zeus in Liao colors to annoy Steiner is already a win every match...

Remember, in lore, Energy weapons are what saved the day against the clans, where IS mechs could keep fighting without having to resupply. It may also play a part in CW, given the longer matches, where Ammo may become a problem for many mechs.

A well constructed IS Energy boat mech can do very well. The Zeus has a balistic and missile variant, and the Enforcer is centrally an Energy/Balistic mech (Imagine a 3 MG, LB10X, LPL 50 ton mech coming at you). The Panther may make a good long range support or assault support mech. The Grasshopper is fairly unique in it's weight class vs what we have already (Closest to it is the Quickdraw, but that suffers from both bad modeling and being 60 tons rather than 70).

None of the mechs look like they'll be the next meta mechs, but many folks thought Griffins and Shadowhawks would be DOA, and look at them now.

You need to start drinking "Screw cap wine" like myself. You don't even need to invest in a cork screw.

Call me "cheap" I don't mind.

I'm be more worried about how someone can save $20 by not drinking 1 night.

[LiGhtningFF13]

As a Steiner soldier, I only buy the Zeus mech!

I'm thinking mine will make use of an LB10x and SRMs in those arms. Brawwwwwllllller.

Edit: LB10, MG, SRM6, a pair of LPLs...call it a day.

We enjoy our wines to be rather good though $20 is a bit excessive (so that would be two nights actually); but anyway, life is too short to drink cheap wine. Screw caps are no problem as long as the content is fine

At this rate I can easily buy a Wrath pack come March...

[Odanan]

Dear PGI, could you change the "Resistance" Grasshopper (the one with C-Bills bonus) for the GHR-5H?

Also, the same for the Panther (9R instead of 10K) and the Enforcer (4R instead of 5D).

I see you already changed the Zeus.

I was hoping the standard variants to receive the bonus.

[The Great Unwashed]

Or allow the player to choose his or her C-bill bonus variant. That would be new....

I like the 2 AMS variants getting the bonus. For the Grasshopper that's the one I was most looking forward to.

It was supposed to be the 3050 variants, but many, many people complained about the Zeus. For the others, I don't see what they have going as a bad thing.

I wonder if Nico will update the FAQ since they updated which Zeus is the resistance model.

[Risen]

I think it would be helpful if you could see your order under "Preorders" on the webpage.
Been looking for my order until I found out it only shows on the Resistance page...

Maybe it saves answered emails

[Bront]

There's a preorder page?

[Risen]

under "Profile" -> far right side tab "Preorders"

it only shows my Clanpacks I (as being delivered) and II (as being ordered)

[Carthoo]

@Risen - I got the same - Reinforcement pack purchase was confirmed, but I cant see it in preorders.

I just bought resistance pack and got some questions for anyone kind enough to clear some thing to me please

Did I still qualify for "early purchase" by Nov 30? Does it still count - bought few mins ago?

Rewards for early buy - are they counted together with Wave II or will I get 30-14-7-3 days of premium for each - Wave II and Resistance - means 112 days (+cockpit items/ 2 mechbays)?

Did PGI show what kind of cockpit items will be avalaible to choose from?

Will a buyer get Founder/ Invasion stein for Wave II AND the same again for buying resistance pack?

Thanks a lot for answers!

I can easily assume you made the deadline... considering today is Oct. 30, 2014

And... "All content to be revealed by December 16" down near the bottom of the Resistance page
