I thought Russ said we were good to go?

We are. Still curious how many were ordered.

well you will have to ask reddit too, then you can estimate. there will be a percentage you missed, but you should be pretty close

I'll leave reddit to you. I generally find it far too juvenile and toxic in most reddit posts to even want to bother.

plus I'm sure a LARGE percentage of people did buy who don't go on the forums.

They always say that less than 20% of a games population ever reads the forums.

Well as I said earlier in this thread I do own my $40 pack so I am good to go.

yeah unfortunately, that doesn't really make a very solid guideline for estimating orders, as I would bet a higher percentage of non forumites would jump on the Timby for INstance than the Urbie. (Note also, I am saying percentage, not total sales, which would be expected)

there might be some overlap though.

and probably a fair bit of trolling and vitriol. But thanks. You will probably get less crap that I would, as there are certain butthurt cliques on Reddit that have a thing for me, lol.

-1... i was really chafft up about getting an Urbie, an iconic mech to rival Atlas or MadCat, but after reading posts
in forum, where majority thinks that light under 100kph is a dodo and PGI not being very upfront with Urbies
specifications (engine cap), im reserving my choice to buy it. Its an icon, urban only mech, light,jumper, hard hitting
weapons, good armor, slow,very durable and cheap. To put it in context any map other then River,Minning and Blog it would die in deplyment stage.....so if you want to use Urbie, we need maps that suits it.

Price was its main selling point, much as Locust...
It might be time to intruduce 3rd parameter in drops formation, so far we have tonnage and class, why not put
in also price of a mech ..... since XL,Clan mech are considarably more expensive, boating more weapons and speed
to standard ones. So grand total could be used to balance things out and bring out Clans second liners with standard engines,
say Grizzly,Stooping Hawk,Highlander IIC,Hunchie IIC,Kingfisher......

I like Urbie for what it is, not for min-max gaming mind.

and people being able to use it how they want precludes you from using it how you want.....how, exactly?

[Bishop Steiner]

also sneak peek of new map and urbie modeling appears well underway.

about 163 on this thread.

Not near as much as I would have liked.

As I said before Bishop, get then to make Dep. Dawg or now Pocket Awesome, and I'll get the collector's edition.

I think you overestimate my influence in MWO. A lot, lol.

Not in the slightest, but I would have to say I suspect you were leading the charge for the Urbbie patrol. That said, seeing a lot of the work you done for mech designs, I would say that they should contract you for price work at the very least.

You wrote yourself it is mostly lore mech, if you take that from it, what do you get ?

150kph spindle of death with 6mpls ??? dont we already got that one.
I think staying within lore boundaries gives this particular game flavor, at least for me.

PGI said they are planning on a 180 - 210 cap.

fastest at 210 would be 124.7 with speed tweak.

there will be no 150 KPH urbie.

I was making a point not statement of fact...i could overlook up to 70-75 with tweak(which is what 110-130 engine rating), but 124..huh, thats almost triple of original speed... it far to much in current meta, speed is life.
But thx for info..didnt know PGI made engine cap public.

again, if someone else want to use it that way, that prevent the people who want to play it lore-style, how?
