I've always said it'd be really awesome if they got to design their own homegrown 'mech to add the Battletech lore, or make an awesome contest/community event where they make a number of poll options to work with us to make a brand new machine.



Baring that, Cyclops or Hatamoto-chi!

Mauler anyone?


No, Zeus. It is bad, ugly and Fed Rat, but it's better than anything else they could give us. Besides, it's classy:

Oh, and as far as Mauler goes... I think this picture is worth a thousand words.

If not this week, then I would think next week or the last week of March. I doubt PGI will announce a mech and a reveal another mech patched in the same week.

With that said, next week may be even more likely because of this week's patch. :lol:

If they don't post new art today, I think it's safe to assume we won't see any until April. :ph34r:

In FD, we trust!

Quoted from the Thunder Hawk page on Sarna...

"Taken out of production after the end of the Amaris Civil War, Thunder Hawk production began again during the mid-3050s"

Not being produced at this time in game. I'd not mind seeing it, but it's not going to happen. As for the Devastator, maybe it's just me but it's pretty much the exact same 'mech for all of it's variants. I know they can add/change up hardpoints but the only thing moved on one variant is the facing of lasers. It's a one trick pony (but then again, so is the Thunderhawk.)

Rather see a more varied 'mech then either of these.

I am beginning to be filled with a rage I cannot control. This media black out is just getting down right stupid. They haven't announced any new content we can seriously expect to be released past July. Not Battlemech #20, not clans, no community warfare. NOTHING!

This is absolutely unacceptable, especially for a game thats content limited as it is now. Heck they don't even release any concrete details on map. Besides the initial "oh hey were working on X type of map" then a month or more with no information then a tentative release date that isn't finalized maybe a week or two before the map is done.

Now I asked in the last ask the devs which should post the answers this Friday where Battlemech #20 is. If they refuse to answer (because that was the only question I asked) then we ALL need to ask the very same question. Not just like mine as was done for the Ask the devs before us.

It's high time they answered to the community. Let's make it happen!

They could have Coolant Flush the recent P2W fire in the forums by just showing us the magnificent art of Alex Iglesias, details about the Community Warfare of even some info/event about the Clans today. But they didn't. They missed a big opportunity and now the damage it's done.

PGI, I'm volunteering for being your PR, marketing consultant, mystic advisor and anything. For 1 MC a month.

March: the least satisfying Clan Invasion month ever? Thanks PGI for making massive planetary invasion as disappointing as possible.

Inner Sphere planets are currently being battled over RIGHT NOW and yet there is no ISSN, there are no reports of anything, there is certainly no clan mechs to be seen nor a Clan faction to play. Not even the hint of the IS assault mech announced let alone the first 4 clan mechs.

How disappointing can Clan Invasion month be? Apparently as much as humanly possible. PGI has missed a GIANT opportunity for marketing and sales by letting this slip by, avoiding every possible chance they have to mention a full scale invasion taking place in the inner sphere right now. The only thing that can save us from bitter disappointment and regret is to see some Clan action this month. AT LEAST ANNOUNCE SOMETHING PGI.

A total of 35 planets are taken over during the first 2 months of invasion. FRR, Dracons Combine, and the Lyrans are currently being hit hard as we speak. They are at war and yet we hear nothing from PGI. What is the point of the time table if you do nothing with it? To disappoint Battletech fans? Why even bother?

At the very least, and I reiterate, please announce something. Announce how horribly behind you are and how clans are not something we should even be thinking about for another year, I don't care - but this silence is far far worse then anything you can do considering the current state of Clan Invasion during this timeline PGI is supposedly sticking to (which is not going well for them by the looks of this month).

Or you can show us some pretty pictures by Alex and make us all a little happier. You have less then 3 weeks. Technically you missed your deadline, you missed your best opportunities already to milk the Clans to increase the popularity of MWO drastically. Lets see how badly you handle the rest of Clan Invasion month.

By looking at the lack of ISN News for almost a month, the devs might be rewinding the timeline. I don't care if they do that (for a year, for instance) - as long as they communicate with us.
