Bought the $20 pack as soon as I got home from work I was planning to get the Collectors pack, but my car's CV axle thought differently

I'm sure I will, I die to all kinds of mechs, but I highly doubt I'll die to once past May or maybe a month after they come out for C bills and then go back to being jokes and memes only. Good work on getting someone to buy you one.

I think I will use the Urbanmech far past May for fun. And getting someone to buy me something is never my intention and always unexpected when it happens, I can't force people to do things. Anyways, you are a party pooper. Good day.

Bought the $20 pack. Should be fun!

"They called me slow. ONCE" "Say that to my face clanner. Not at range. And see what happens"

I just arrived from work, and i'm undecided between the basic and collector packages... does anyone know if the collector will have those cool phrases in the skin? I'm willing to buy it, but i'd be disapointed if the final version has a plain skin (Do you remeber how cool the phoenix pack art was and how the (P) mechs look in game?)

I'm going to buy a spider-5k right now for an early Urbie-day celebration.

Can you actually do anything with those extra hardpoints? I'm mean, it's a 30 ton light; having a ton of hardpoints you can't use is frustrating.

[Muffinator]

I'm getting the $20 pack, getting an error buying my phone so I'll have to order after work

LOL again the rest of us? You mean your small subset of the fraction of the playerbase on the forums? You can keep trying to paint me as sad and bitter but you can't bring me down, as your opinion means nothing. As to laughing, you and the fools who've been parted from their money can laugh all you want. The joke is on you, and heading for your mech bays.

Actually, no one is being 'parted' from anything. Those of us who want it (which I believe is a far bigger 'subset' then you are willing to believe) are PAYING for something we want and to help support the game. If enough people do it, we get what we want.

If not - then we get our money back. So really, it is a no-risk situation. We either get a 'mech we are willing to pay for, or we get a refund.

And, for the record, I was willing to shoot Thell a gift pack this evening after work, as well. Because fun.

And Bishop, I better get a PM the day you set up your Urbie-Derbie.

FRIDAY!!

[Nathan Foxbane]

I have made my $40 Urbie purchase. It will be lovingly mocked in my hangar and feared on the battlefield.

[Rashhaverak]

I totally purchased. I have faith that PGI will make the mechs at least minimally viable (with significant customization), and the early bird perks sealed the deal.

Every person that dies to my Erbie will have to live with the shame for the rest of their lives!

[tucsonspeed6]

Just bought it because I imagined the warhorn making the same sound as the cake on The Little Rascals.

Note: PGI, if you make the warhorn sound like the cake from the Little Rascals, I'll buy 5 more right now.

[Lord Ikka]

Bought. I pay $40, PGI gives me three trashcans, 60 days premium time, and swag. Fair deal.

[MauttyKoray]

Planning to buy it however must wait for financial boost to secure the Top Tier Package. I would buy the $20 standard right now but no word from PGI (and the FAQ link is borked) about if upgrading packages is possible.

[Ovion]

You know I got the Collectors.
One of the first too, the only thing that slowed me down was paypal clearing.
Purchased within maybe 2 minutes of it going live...

Maybe I have a problem.

[Ted Wayz]

Bought a premium for myself. Buying the next as a gift.

I was thinking today that the Urbie really needs Radar derp. Instant wood when I saw the premium package includes it. Good move PGI.

[stratagos]

I bought the $20 package, to prove that PGI should feel comfortable giving them community what they ask for.

Of course, trust goes both ways. This is an Urbie, and I don't expect it to shine, but if it totally bites then I'm not going to be preordering diddly without more information in the future

[Snip! No need for this any more, post amended to general notice]

Community note: if you dislike the UrbanMech, why don't you create an anti-UrbanMech thread? That way anyone who feels like venting can have a place to let off steam without annoying anyone, and the elements of the community who supported the implementation of the UrbanMech can enjoy overcoming the next hurdle in its development without irritating you in return. Everyone wins!

If there is enough demand you will no longer have the money pledged, so yes you are being parted by the very definition. BTW I'm sure there is some other sad case you can buy a pack for, the tale might even be true. Why not have a contest for saddest story to get a hand out? That would be fun no? I mean if you don't care about your money giving to charity is always good.

Give it a rest ******.

The extras alone for the $40 pack are worth it, you get the Urbies for free. 3 mech bays, 60 days of premium time, 2 modules, and 3 warhorns and 10 cockpit items.

Plus, the page specifically mentions trying to make the mech viable. Is it going to be a doomcrow or a thunderwubs? Probably not, but my bet is that you and your ilk are going to be crying to PGI come April 7th to nerf the Urbie because you didn't get one.
