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

Oh lol, since Im not a native english....months are still a little bit confusing Easily forgottan that we got october, not november

Thanks - overlooked that about "reveal".

Guess that solves probably early purchase too - no reason they wouldnt be for each different mech groups, since its month by each other.

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.

good call actually....since they did it with all packs, no matter Founder or Phoenix or even Clans.....it´s always been the standard variants ( or prime for the clans ) that were the money makers

[Grendel408]

I'm still looking forward to getting my Wrath Pack even though my Zeus may collect dust... my Panther and Enforcer will be my new go-to Mechs cause I ******* love Lights and Mediums... while the Grasshopper may be my new Light-killer Mech

I have one question and one suggestion for PGI directly.

My question is when will the Premium Time from pre-ordering, not the one that comes with the package itself, be delievered? Have any of you who already pre-ordered received it?

As for my suggestion, could some of the faction content, at the very least, the faction colours, be released before the mechs are? CW will be underway before the Resistance mechs drop, and I'd really love to be able to roll out in faction colours. I can understand not having the cockpit items available by then, but the colours should be ready by then.

Premium time for early purchase (preorder) is delivered the day that ends the period you can order pack to get it. Wave II preorders will get their second part (14 days) tomorrow I think. I got my 30 days for Wave II early purchase at 21. oct, when first period ended. Second ends tomorrow - 31. oct.

So resistance I think first part (30 days) will come Nov 30. Faction content is released veeery late for Wave II - and I dont know why - perhaps coz you can choose camo and faction colors for mechs you bought - so no chance to get it (see it) before they deliver your mechs. Same problem with Resistance I suppose.

Edit: I have to say, that these "early purchase" bonuses are supercool. Mech packs were veeeery expensive - for second lowest pack youd get AAA game, so I really apreciate, that from those 30 dollars for Mist lynx I get almost big portion back in prem time - and even better - BANKED premium time, so it wont pass, while Ill be working somewhere without chance to play - as it happened on numerous occasions before.

Its nice, that IS mechs from Resistance are cheaper....but still, 80 bucks is to much. I paid that much for Founder coz I had really high hopes for this game and next two years I was cursing the day I did it. PGI now making it better, but were on start - still a long way to the game I hoped for...

Question: if I buy a'la carte, will I be getting the assorted faction content (colours, items, etc.)?

[Carthoo]

Nope. Maybe if you buy more mechs ala carte. It says what bonus youll get. But faction content I think comes with the pack. You should still get early purchase rewards for ala carte - if I understand it right. Not sure...someone else, can you answer him?

[Deficatus]

I bought the Mist Lynx early just to get the Atlas/Premium Time. I think I will have to strip/sell the mechs to maintain my Inner Sphere street cred now that the Resistance pack is on the horizon.

I did the same thing... IS FOREVER!!

[Johndar]

Own every mech ever, That's my motto.

[Novawrecker]

Pardon if this has been addressed before.

Regarding purchasing mechs from this package A La Carte, if one does buy one or two mech packs (say, for example, the Enforcer and Zeus packs), do you still get the premium time, items (cockpit, handing, etc), faction decos, etc, etc, etc?

[RapierE01]

You only geht the monthly rewards not the Rest

[Masterrix]

is the fraction content (camos, colors) usable on every mech, or only on IS mechs, or only on the Resistance chassis ?

Faction content from the Resistance packs will only unlock the camo patterns on the Resistance chassis you buy. So if you buy only the Fire Pack with the Panther you'll only get to choose one pack and only get the camo on Panthers. But if you buy the Wrath Pack you'll get the camos unlocked on all four chassis in the Resistance pack, but not all chassis you own. Those will have to be purchased separately.

Colors are usable on all mechs you own, though. It's just the patterns that are locked to specific chassis.

SO, I keep asking, and no one answers.

Is the Resistance Zeus the 9S like the FAQ says, or the 6S like the Resistance page (where you spend money) says?

It WAS the 9S - but enough people complained (in the right places - in the right ways) that they changed it to the 6S.
9S was the 3050 standard variant - 6S was the 3025 (classic) standard
Most special variants have been the classic variants rather than the 3050 standards - but they went the other way with the ( R ) at first

[Belorion]

Does anyone know if the premium time will be available to activate soon?

Probably on the 16th or today, depending on how PGI wants to roll it out...

That's what I thought, but I've been trying to get them to fix the FAQ (which is now wrong) for over a week.
