So this was in the announcement for the sale................

So ummm... I was looking and was wondering where we can try it for free?... It isn't in the trial mechs?

Anyone know?? Or is this a box of Lies!!!

[Redshift2k5]

you are indeed correct, no Thunderbolt champ in the Trial Mechs on my end either. So either whoever wrote the publicity blurb as incorrect in assuming all champs were available as trials, or someone forgot to include it in the trial mech menu in the mechlab.

Champions and Trial mechs are not necessarily the same thing. That being said, for the past year or so, trial mechs have exclusively been champions, which may be leading to some confusion.

Looking into this right now

Well their announcement does say try it for free.....

[Alexander Garden]

The TDR-9SE(C) will be available for Trial as of the November 18th patch.

We're going to update that text.

Aww now I have to wait... oh well time to get back in and blow components off Thanks for the quick response!

Wait... "unlocking" is done server side... not client side. I'm not sure if it requires a server restart to accomplish (brief downtime), but that should be able to be turned on to "try out" the trial mech. This occurred when the Griffin wasn't "released on time" (like, 8-9 months ago), except it was for availability for C-bills...

The Trial Mech list should have been designed to rotate and turn off/on at will like the sales... which would make better sense...

It's hard to make a sale when you can't try it out (it's cutting off the nose despite the face kind of deal).
