Don't think that Bishop Steiner, as he (she?) declined others, would listen to a completely stranger like me

Probably wouldn't go and do it for ya, but might give tips on how to get it done yourself is what I meant.

Anyway, hm, another thing.There are some good explanations about colors and camos in this thread so thanks folks for that. But if one buys a Pack which grants more then one faction pack (say, 4) is there any benefit in choosing the same faction multiple times?

Multiple Warhorns/Flags and the like.

There are some people dedicated enough to their faction to go for multiples of one - there are others more mercenary who plan on getting different factions.

I would be in the Mercenary camp myself (semi-obviously )

Dead during a match with not enough going on to make it worth spectating the whole thing.

Wife joined a private gym last night with a personal trainer. I'm off the hook.

It's a win-win for me!

My expierence tells me this: it's all about the right timing. First get her to do something she really likes, and then seize the right moment ftw!

For example: My wife's playing Fifa on the Playstation right now, and was just excited as she won the qualifiers for the world championship with the national team she's coaching. So the only reaction to me telling her some minutes ago, that I will buy a package for mwo, was a simple 'ok'. Added a 'don't spend to much', as she did not even look away from the screen in saying so.
For great justice!

(ok, that she likes playing games, does help in these kind of situations I guess... )

Edit:
She just managed to score with a free-kick for the first time in game and is cheering around in the living room - I might get away with the wrath pack now

As the Grail Knight already said, and also my foremost recommandation after some years of marriage:
choose wisely

so now we must gather those people to have them complain in the right places and in the right ways again, to change the Grasshopper ® variant to the 5H (instead of the 5J), as the 5H is the standard variant, no?

Why? I like the dual AMS one as the hero. I think that adds a lot of flexibility.

If I buy a Resistance Pack (Wrath Pack), how many colors will I get from it?

3 per faction you pick, up to 18 (since the wrath pack gets 6 faction picks)

If you pick the same faction twice, that's 3 less colors you get.

I'll have to think about it. I like having extra colors, but I technically have all that I need, and some of the colors look nearly identical. Definatly grabbinig at least 1 Steiner, might grab Marik and maybe Liao or Rasalhague for the colors, don't think I need any from Kurita or Davian. We'll see how the Warhorns are as well. I might get the smorgasbord board for that.

Because on one side the 5H would be the standard (or 1st Edition) variant, like the 6S on the Zeus, and on the other, for me, there's more flexibility in having 4 Laser-Hardpoints in the Sidetorsi (instead of none) then 2 in the centertorso (instead of one). And I think 1 Ams is sufficent. Ok, then again, the 5J has a higher engine-cap - but I don't think it will be used, as then there wouldn't be much room left for the armament + heatsinks, so the 5H should be fine in this departement.
But I'll live with the 5J, too

Waiting is hard. I find myself searching for new information about the resistance pack when there is no new information.

Any word on quirks for these mechs?

[Triban]

Will the faction colors be set or can I use Liao Black on any mech?

[Airox]

The quirks for these mechs are the one thing that I'm truly curious about just now.

[Mortedrake]

Make Panther little bit faster - and tnan I'll buy it!

Well the way I see it this (Wrath) offer give you :
- 4 Hero Mechs estimated at 18000 MC (3000 + 4000+ 5000 + 6000) if you look at equivalent H mechs
- 8 Mechbays (don't count the 4 comming and staying with the 4 hero : 1200 MC if you buy them during sales at 150 each
- 12 colors : 6000MC (at 500MC a pop during sales) worth it if you don't have many colors (only got the c-bills ones myself)

For a total of 25200 MC or 84$ worth of MC if you bought them at the 99.95$ Black friday sale. So roughly the same price as if you buy it all later on. + you get a green Crab which you'll have the joy to see die under you match after match as people will just want to jump it each time ^^

Not counting all the other cockpit items (which I don't care about...) and the time and c-bills gained by not having to buy the standard variants etc.

So yeah its worth it if you plan on buying those things later on, or even if you only buy 3/4 of it later.

So for me I'm in. For everyone else make your spreadsheet and see what is of importance to you and act accordingly. And please remember if you are in doubt, just don't buy as impulse buying usually isn't good.

Humm question: After getting the Resistance pack is it normal that I don't see any mention of it in my pre order profile sub section.

Is this normal ? 1st pack I've bought here.

[Duncan1dah0]

The resistance page has been updated with what the items (hanging, standing, etc) look like.

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.

Jewelry, a sports car or wave bye bye to your third digit

As far as I know yes - and as far as I have seen theorized, it is probably because the preorder page has two parts: "Current" and "Past" and as the Clan Wave 2 is still "current" Resistance will not be showing.
(there are holes in that yes - but so long as the Resistance page is showing "owned", it is probably a fairly minor one)
