Im not saying this is necessarily a bad thing im just pointing out that its not a reward for what they really mean. It should be a sale offer not a reward.

If i were to run the London marathon is get a reward in the end in the form of a medal. If i paid someone to run it on my behalf i have no right to deserve that reward.

So...

It is perfectly all right for them to give it as a reward for buying stuff before....

But not alright to give it as a reward for buying stuff NOW.

Because guess what.
The requirements for this have not changed that much

"If X is bought we give Y as a reward"

X may have changed - while Y stays the same

But that does not make Y NOT a reward.

Here, let me make it simple for you
I will google the definition of "Reward" for you since you appear incapable of doing so yourself.

Quote

re·ward
rəˈwôrd/
noun
noun: reward; plural noun: rewards
1.
a thing given in recognition of one's service, effort, or achievement.

So.

They are giving us three mechs in recognition of helping keep the game funded.
And guess what!
Put it that way - and the requirements have not changed at all!

And I am saying that whether it is a bad thing or not is not what we are talking about

But rather that the words you are using do not mean what you are saying they do

REALLY people?!
Is it THAT hard to use a dictionary?!?!

Thank you. I was buying Resistance collection anyway (every month one pack up), so that's great gift. I have Atlas and Centurion (L) already but it never hurts. Engines will be put into good use. Thank you again.

[mad kat]

Lol didn't mean to rain on your parade and you have just said exactly what i was saying anyway!

Is my centurion AH a reward, yes but i was not expecting it when i bought mc. Is it free? Hell no. Which is why when pgi say buy any top teir package and you get rewarded with three extra mechs that's not quite right. Its an incentive not a reward for a future purchase. Now as you quite rightly say it is a reward for people who bought it prior not expecting the free mechs.

I still think a loyalty reward should be based on time spent in game and a certain amount spent or a ratio of both, not on who is willing to crack open their wallet for each new package. After all this is advertised as free to play.

No hard feelings eh?

I think what's important is that we not anger the pgi gods into demanding tribute. They could start taking any of your mechs or changing the color of our mechs if we complain.

The pgi gods are all powerful and will punish those who complain. Oh mech gods, smite the unbelievers and reward us on bended knee.

Repent complainers, judgement day is upon us and you have brought down the vengeance of the powerful.

Buy more stuff now or suffer!

Its the end..(jumps off tall atlas to his doom)

Jeeze guys its free.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth they say (they also say, beware Greeks bearing gifts but it's always good to cover all the bases).

So thanks. However, had I looked in the gift horse's mouth I would have noted that I now have 3 mechs I don't need as I already have them, which confuse me as I think I'm seeing double, and of which I cannot rid myself. Lovely gesture in any case.

No hard feelings, but I still think you are only proving how little you know about what the words you are using mean.

Not liking the requirements for the reward =/= it not being a reward.

[TheRedZealot]

I think its an nice idea but Im alittle perplexed. Purchasing one of the large packs only in the given time frame qualifies you?

So for those of us that love the game and hop onto the band wagon earlier dont get our bonus mechs? D: I like free stuff!

(Ie: I bought the Legendary Founders, and Top Tier Pheonix, Clan Wave I, Clan Wave II, Resitance but all before this new deadliney Thing. So I get 1 set?)

[Tremonius]

I am a little bit confused. Bought the Panther Pack and the Zeus a la carte back in December. Will i receive one of those loyalty mechs too or is this ONLY for the top tier purchases? Like, the Atlas maybe?

English isnt my first language so i better ask before misunderstanding something. Thanks.

I think, that you must buy Resistance pack - all four mechs.

To receive the reward mechs you have to either buy the "Resistance Wrath Package" or the "UrbanMech Collectors Pack".

You may want to contact support about spending $20 to upgrade to the full package.

That is, if you want the other 6 resistance mechs, the 3 loyalty mechs, and all the extra stuff (60 days of PT, all the faction content, etc).

Am i the only one realizing this is NOT a reward! (At least in respect of this announcement onwards).

A reward is something you earn.

Oscars are Reward for job dones.
A Reward can also be a "gift" for something you buy, like you buy 10 pokéball in pokemon. You get an honor ball has a gift reward.

[Túatha Dé Danann]

Does the Clan Wave III Top Tier package also count? I guess so, because it is a top tier package, right?

on the thread about the Wave 3 release a dev said it will.


Edit:

could we please get the (L) mechs to be sellable now? with the early adopter incentive from wave 3, some players will get the Crab/atlas/cent pack a third or even a fourth time!

i know, i know, it's free and all. but having the very same mech 3 to 4 times without being able to sell it or otherwise filter it out of the mechlab screen is just... stupid.

Not sure if anyone asked already, but I think the OP needs to be updated with Wave3 package, just to be clear that it does give the rewards if you buy wave3 Gladiator pack.

[Sirgrant]

I purchased the top tier of clan wave 3, qualified with other packages, have not received the mechs. Also saw the post from a Dev stating wave 3 would qualify...

Never mind! Found statement in wave 3 FAQ which said there would be a delay...

15 years and still hasn't managed to make a great game. Impressive.

I don't want to sound ungrateful (I think most of us don't), but been able to sell the duplicate L variants would be a good idea.

For me it's like when I was a kid and got the same present twice. I'm not ungrateful, but I can't help it and feel a bit dissapointed.

[M X Striker]

Thanks anyway PGI, but I already have 2 of each of these mechs. This is not real incentive to get them again. Perhaps if you gave those mechs some super kick-ass quirks or something to give them some REAL value. Just a thought.

Thanks for all you do!
