So... if I logged in after 4pm, and I'm supposed to have a King Crab, will it show up tomorrow? (I had purchased an Overlord Package way back when).

[JRedCorn86]

Since when was the King Crab going to be available to people who didn't put money down? I thought this 'Mech was strictly for fans who put their wallet on the line. Just spent $80 on this garbage resistance pack (minus the Zeus) so I could be among the few (well, not so few but among the true fans who wanna see this game do good) to have this mech.... Now it'll be out for C-Bills???? Tip: In order to not piss off yer fans due to false advertising and bogus loyalty programs, inform them. Some may disagree with my line of thinking, but had I known they would be out for c-bills I would not have spent the money. PGI is up against a lot of criticism, and I hate to add more... but the term "Loyalty Program" means something to people. Check my account Russ... Spent hundreds of dollars on this game. I love it, but you are alienating and misinforming your fans. I understand the announcement is out and it will not change, but I hope you guys keep this in mind.

Reference Resistance Collection page,,, It says nothing about C-Bills or MC...it states 'Loyalty' Loose term these days I guess

What nonsense are you talking about.....????? We are the only ones who will ever get the 000(L) with the skin & bonus. It stated right from the very first post that the King Crab would be available for cbills in Jan. Are you really claiming that you want just a single mech that can never be elited or mastered just so no one else can have one....??? Your point is moronic and your intelligence is highly questionable... js

lets celebrate!

This makes me chuckle despite the fact the king crab walks as though its just had a very large pole shoved up its backside. Its hilarious. These things elited are more dangerous than the daishi! You poor poor clanners.

That is of course until you alpha one of its enormous legs or both arms off then its about as harmful as an angry kitten.

[G SE7EN7]

Did they list the exact quirk changes anywhere?

Quote

- Inner Sphere 'Mech Quirks (only Chassis with changes listed in PDF, Some listed variants did not receive changes)

This isnt good enough. What did you change and what did it change from/to?

Ah, no more need for anyone to whine about the "Direwhale" anymore, especially since you can make a Gausscrab now too.

[mad kat]

Judging by last nights matches i'd rather face a direwhale than a king crab. In fact i did just that on one match in my awesome 8Q there were about two or three KC near the arch on forrest colony, i tried removing their arms with a 53 pinpoint alpha but i was taking far too much damage in the process managed to kill a KC but in the end i had to turn and run (in an Awesome) and i'd rather take on the direwhale trying to come through the tunnel. I died though couldn't take the abuse.

Think these KC will be nerfed at some point but PGI will leave em be for now as they won't dare nerf em on release.

yay king krab

[G SE7EN7]

I thought the KGC would be a brawler... it so isnt.

And the cockpit is tiny, I really expected to hold down the CTRL key and say 'wow I have so much space in here'.

[ThatGuy539]

Too many guys in the assault queue, so I didn't play the KC or Gargoyles last night.

Not sure I like only being able to change one color in the Faction camos. But they are still nice to have.

Do like all the extra paints, and cockpit items.


And it occurs to me...

It would be nice if you got something for every premium pack that was purchased...especially if you bought early.
eg.. If you bought 2 premium packs, you would get two KCs, and/or double the cockpit items.
And maybe the option to gift the extra stuff to other people.
At the least you could sell stuff for extra CB.

I'm still happy with what I got, but with more I would be happier.

We get a Free Champion KGC, and will need 2 more to master them.

The three available for MC or C-Bills are not Champion mechs. Those of us with the (L) variant will need to buy two more, with MC or C-Bills, to master them (which is a bit of suck but, eh, big deal.) So they *had* to come out with the KGC for MC and C-Bills, any way you slice it.

Calm down.

Now, a free pass for those with the (L) variant to not have to buy the other two for mastery would be a right gentlemanly thing to do

[NocturnalBeast]

I noticed that some weapons do not seem to register on the King Crab if you hit it in the torsos, very similar to how the Centurion, Spider , Raven, Firestarter and Mad Dog / Vulture used to be. The AC20 heat scale and Ghost heat are insane too, I might just use Gauss on mine.
