Hmmm.. I knew that dropping money on any Phoenix pack was useless xD

Oh well, I hope those packs stay out for long. Because I want to see first this game getting balanced, then the new UI thought better than what I saw in the preview AND CW. Then MAYBE I'll get one package.

As usual there's no way to completely chose/pick desired mechs, but all that mattered to me was to get my hands on either a Summoner or an Hellbringer.. guess the 120$ pack is the only option since there's nowhere to be seen the Hellbringer.

They all look quite nice from an art pov we'll see the scales/hitboxes and how these ones want to balance weapons.

1- problem with Clan pack, where is the Hellbringer? the Summoner and Hellbringer are like Flame and Fang they go together.

2-june 17 is a long time from now, I would prefer them releasing 2 mechs a month instead of having to wait till june 17 to get all of them.

Jesus Christ! The mechs look amazing!

A June 17 release date (going off of their pattern with Phoenix package) gives them that many more months to release more IS mechs....

PGI, what about a golden UrbanMech for us Inner Sphere scrubs? I'm sure Bishop has a golden UrbanMech concept art somewhere?

don't see anything for 15000 yet, but yeah, sentiment is agreed with

[Odanan]

OK, so here are my considerations about the Clan Collection:

• The concept art is flawless. Clan mechs look modern, mean and still, very loyal to their original designs.
  
• The business model is... smart. Very expensive, but smart. I want the Storm Crow, but if I'm going to pay $180.00 on it, why not getting the Timber Wolf together? And If I'm paying $210.00 in the Timber Wolf, heck, why not getting the ultimate package? So, it's either buying everything, either buying nothing (at least for me). Man, I need a third job.
  
• I think I didn't understand the Gold Khan member stuff. When you buy a Gold mech do you receive Masakari Collection and the Golden skin or just a golden skin? Either way, $500.00 it's a fortune (we won't see many of those Golden Khans over there).
  
• June 17? Already? I wish we had some months of Community Warfare before the Clans were introduced...
  
• I'm worried about how the Clans will be "balanced".

PS: It was a big surprise to see the Clan Collection so close to the Phoenix Project. I was thinking they would wait sometime before milking us again.

I thinketh, the well is running dry and that the upgrades like UI2.0 and such are running over their cost projections. But when they announced the "hiatus" after the Phoenix Pack, I called that the Clan pack would be for sale for Xmas.

And the only way I would ever consider the Khan pack would indeed be if it included a full Masakari Pack with it. As it is promoted, I fear you only get a Golder Mech, period, though.

$500.00 for a golden skin? What the Frack?! Does it deflect lasers?

Yep, only one mech with a golden skin, and a big target sign on front AND back.

Thank god i am Steiner and cant use the Clan mechs.(atleast i think so)

I think they're expanding their marketing efforts. Just like the 'mech of the month, the hero of the month, and weekend sales, I think 6 month preorder campaigns are going to become business as usual pretty much forever.

[Butane9000]

Here's my take on the Clan pack.

Personally I think it sums it up rather well.

They still need to release all the concept art for the Phoenix Mechs.

People have been saying they should handle themselves more like SC, so they have.

That only works if they bring the customer support, deadline matching, and continual feedback of SC as well.

I feel a little self promotional, but dangit I wanna be one of the 10 winners REAL bad!!!!!!

[Prezimonto]

I want to know how they justify this when Founders still haven't seen CW and phoenix mechs still aren't even earning us the loyalty bonus points (because CW isn't part of the game).

I've picked up some kind of package along the way, each time. Unless CW comes out, is amazing, and we have more info on the role of clans in CW and how omnis will work I'll be passing.

I'm a little torn. Totally get the sentiment, though. But as a greedy self centered little snot that I am, I only want the BlackHawk package anyhow. Of course, if I just wait til July, the Nova should be cbill available anyhow. 60 bucks to save a month? Naw.

I will be puting this here because I liked it:

Butane9000, on 14 December 2013 - 09:36 AM, said:

Okay here's my feed back. Obviously lost to the depths of the thread.

1.) Concept Art - It's amazing. It's everything I thought it would/could be and more. You should go take Alex out for drinks and dinner over this work.

2.) Costs - Dang that's expensive. But like the Phoenix Packages it's reasonable when you look at what your getting. I probably won't buy it because I can't choose the actual mechs I want (Mad Dog/Vulture, Ice Ferret etc.).

3.) Shameless Cash Grab - So close to the end of the Phoenix Project and right on the heels of it's closing. I can't help but think this is just a pathetic and shameless cash grab. I'm sorry but that's the truth. Also just looking at the "Gold Khan" skin I mean come on. $500 for a freaking golden skin? How is that not a cash grab over peoples love and affection for these mechs.

4.) Lack of Information - You have given no information over the mechs and how they work and what some of the other items are. Now your FAQ says the Omnimech information is coming soon but if you want people who aren't extreme fan boys to buy this they need more information. How do Omnimechs work? What are these War Horns? What are the titles and how are they going to be displayed? What are the bonus modules? Are they extra module slots? If so that makes them slightly overpowered in some of the additional things you can run in it. It would also be nice to know how Clan tech and Inner Sphere tech will work together if at all.

5.) Release Date - June... 6 months away. Yea no way I'm buying this at all until right at the end and only if Community Warfare and User Interface 2.0 is out and running for at least 2-3 months before it (which means you have to release UI2.0/CW no later then March). But hey! Your taking your sweet time with those and continuing to just funnel mechs down our throats to try and keep us happy.

6.) Priorities - Shouldn't UI 2.0 and then Community Warfare be your top priorities right now? We've waited over a year for community warfare and we've been waiting nearly a year for UI2.0. Get these things out already and stop making excuses. Then focus on making the grind more unique for each chassis by changing the pilot trees.

7.) Release Schedule - December (Moon base, Thunderbolt, UI2.0?), January (Battlemaster, CW P1?, UI2.0?), February (Griffin, New Map?, CW P2?), March (Wolverine, CW P3?), April (IS Light?, New Map?), May (IS Assault?), June (Clan pack, CW expansion). You see all of the above? That's just random conjecture and assumptions because you keep us intentionally in the dark. I understand you don't want to give hard dates. But with the excessive push backs and delays I believe it's high time you make the release schedule more public. Just tell us what month your aiming for.

8.) Overview - Many of us saw this coming a mile away. It's about what I expect for the most part but it comes far far earlier then I could have ever expected. Parts of it are undoubtedly a shameless cash grab and other parts seem about as fair as the Phoenix Package. Still ridiculously priced as far as F2P is concerned. If I seem agitated or upset in my post it's because for the most part I have stopped playing this game recently. Mostly because newer and better games have come out. But by evidence of me typing I haven't forgotten about MWO and keep my eye on it.

Stop trying to funnel mechs down our throats to keep our interest. Give us UI2.0 and Community Warfare like you promised us a year ago. Then get to work on the Clans. There should be no excuse why those 2 systems/features shouldn't be released in the next two months considering all the delays.
