Just kicking this topic off because when I type in CLANS on the forum I don't get anything jumping out at me. So I'm kicking it off with this post...

I want my Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) please.

Inner Sphere (IS) ain't workin Clan's the way you do it
Money for killin and my kills for free....

Seriously let's get the Clans in here. I want their superior weapons and mechs, and good looks (don't care if you disagree). Now I admit I've only been Battleteching it up since 2001-ish and I always love rooting for the IS (DAVION RULES YAY!), but I love stompin and blasting with the Clans. Last I checked Victor checked his crap-tastic IS tin-can in for a Diashi (and good on him for it). I can't stand playing the IS Mechs. For me it's not Battletech or Mechwarrior without the Clans. So let's get on with it already. I didn't wait nearly a decade to Horse S*** around with just IS Mechs.

BAM.

If the devs follow the BT timelime your going to have to wait a year for this matey.

Or so i have heard..

You don't get your Mad Cat for at least another half year.

Plus, Stormcrow is cooler.

[Henry Hawkins]

You're not alone, but don't hold your breath. If the devs are still following the day-to-day timeline of the IS, it's going to be another year before Clanners show up.

I sure am excited to see how the popular Clan mechs will look though.

Clan is introduced next year

[Yuba Frank]

I actually like the Summoner best. And we won't see them for a while yet. We really need the "beating a dead horse" smiley.

Totally get what you guys are saying (and I actually think the idea is a novel...to an extent) but just needed to air this grievance out there. It needs to be said, so I said it.

They should have started with the invasion, especially if there really isn't any kind of story online other than the "forums". I suppose I'm stuck in perpetual "warm-up" mode until they give me what I want. But if MW4 is any predictor, I did notice a lot more people picking Clans Mechs over IS Mechs on a pretty consistent basis. The Devs are just delaying the inevitable. Should have just started with everyone's favorites. Maybe a poll asking "what are your favorite mechs? Let us know so you can you play them when MWO goes live". Unfortunately if it makes sense, it's the least likely to happen.....Ah, I digress.

Let me throw this thought out there about the clans.
Who will play the clans when they invade, the developers or other players. If it is to be other players from which pool will they be chosen?
Here is my line of thought, if it is to be players I think they will be chosen from those that have purchased the Founders packs.
I personally hope they open the clans to anyone once they invade, I would jump on a clan in a nanosecond.
I Jade Falcons a lot, but my heart is filled with the blood of the Wolf.
Just my thoughts, sometimes at my age it tends to wonder.

They should have started with the 4th successionwar..

I'm kinda glad we have to wait for clan mechs. I'd be happy to wait longer than a year actually (but not 2 years) A nice level Inner Sphere playing field to learn the game and build c-bills.... and kind of an homage period to some oldies. When clan mechs do show up they'll prolly be pricey (their weapons definitely will be).

[CaptainCandle]

Space Nords for me. Bring your superior clan mechs. We shall fight you with Steel and Courage! Wait, that's the brits... Loot and Pillage!

I've always been an underdog fan and from memory, the FRR get stomped pretty bad. I want to see if our actions here can change that as I understand the game is dynamic?

[Don]

The OP is obviously new or a troll. I'll go with both.

this is all you need to know about the mad cat and MWO

>>I also enjoy a Diashi/Vulture/Thor now and again.



However in regards to who will play the Clans when they do enter center stage... I would be extremely agitated if Devs play the Clan Mechs exclusively. This game will make or break mostly on the players not the Devs, so they better give us the whole Sha-Bang. Plus no chincing on popular Mechs (i.e. omitting them based off of personal bias or 'the current content is good enough' excuse).

I WANT THEM ALL.

The only clan I can stand is clan Star Adder unless you have the right coin of course

[Warfeli]

LOL I am not sure what the purpose of this thread is... but shawty tell 'em!

Who are the 5 best BattleTech societies of all time?

1. The Clans
2. The Clans
3. The Clans
4. The Clans
5. The Clans

Because we spit hot fiya.

[Voss Korgan]

So if and when the Clans do invade, and the IS beats the snot out of them and sends them packing, will PGI then remove them from the game. Only seems fair.

<sits atop the left missile pod of his Timber Wolf> Buddy, we have waited since the mid 90's for true clan content. Asking us to wait another several decades is insane. Bad enough we are soo close yet have to wait a year yet.

[Vandul]

Like they all said, next year'ish, provided this release doesnt slip.

For us IS jocks, we know all about clans.

Target. Lock. Fire. Rinse/Repeat.

Simple, eh?

[Phasics]

I can wait

If you can wait as long as we've waited for MWO, then a a year or two more for clans isn't gonna kill ya
