Weird announcement. So since I caved and bought the Wrath pack before Dec 16 I get nothing from this. Okey dokey. Happy 15th!

[Johnny Two Legs]

I appreciate the effort in recognising players.
However, why on earth I would want another Atlas, Centurion and King Crab that I cannot sell and will just sit there..?
It's a little redundant.

Still, I appreciate what your doing, just that it will do nothing for me.

I already have all three, so... FREE MECHBAYS AND C-BILLS, BABY! WOO-HOO!

Don't complain about free stuff... who cares of more people put money into this game and are rewarded?

Wait... we can't sell it? That sucks.

Looks like I'll have some shiny new equipment to sell...

Hmm, that might be the only saving grace... sell the equipment/weapons and still have an empty chassis taking up space...

Yes

Thanks! That was what I was thinking.

That poor guy who made the thread all mad that PGI was going to sell Cbill versions of the AH and Atlas….

[Kev Rosse]

PGI please explicitly clarify:

If I have an urbanmech BASIC package (purchased previously) and prior to February 27 I pay the additional $20 to upgrade to the Collectors Edition pack.... I would receive these additional loyalty rewards?

[Greenjulius]

Looks like I get dupes of all mechs because I bought the Urbie Collector pack. We should petition Russ to allow this wave to be sellable.

3 duplicate mechs cluttering my mechlab would get annoying, very fast.

Yes, you'll qualify if you upgrade the Urbie pack.

Happy anniversary PGI. MAY 2015 be a good year.

If you already received one or more of the Reward ‘Mechs as a result of a Top Tier Package purchase made prior to December 16^th 2014 at 12:01 AM PST, the purchase of any additional Top Tier Packages between December 16^th 2014 at 12:01 AM PST and February 28th 2015 at 11:59:59 PM PST will make you eligible to receive an additional duplicate of your Reward ‘Mech(s

Will it be possible to gift the duplicate mechs ?

Since we cannot sell them, and for me at least, I see no need for two of each.

I do appreciate the freebies though, thank you PGI.

What's the purpose of 'limited' if you're gonna keep putting it in every package?

[Bront]

A few questions/thoughts:

1) If we already have the mechs, can we gift the second set to someone else?

2) What about Loyal players who are clanners? That's 6 bonus mechs they can't use in CW.

3) Maybe players who have all 3 could select different hero mechs instead, or simply get MC.

Not trying to be ungrateful (heck, I love my Loyalty Crab, even with the above options I might still get it again), just throwing options out there people may want to explore.

[Urbie]

WooHOO!!!!

They will all collect dust while I kill you all with my Urbanmechs!

Look, I think this is great PGI is doing this so more players have the opportunity to get their hands on these very nice mechs (I love the King Crab, just superb!)

What kind of gets me though is that what started out as a loyalty 'thanks for sticking around for so long and being so supportive' has now turned into a 'buy our most expensive pack to get some bonus mechs'

I am all supportive of giving out limited edition content to players but really these mechs were initially designed as long term loyalty rewards. There still is not really anything unique for founders that have endured (3) years of a rollercoaster ride which has only just begun to settle..

Ya, very irritating . I thought they were done with milking things. I should have know better.

Maybe as an alternative to getting duplicates, they will let us pick another variant of the same chassis. Say, a DDC Atlas instead, or a KGC-000B, or a CN9-A. I mean, the skin is already done. Just apply it to a different variant of the same mech. Even if it was a "pick one" situation, how many people would be showering praise if they could get a DDC with CBill boost and custom (albeit unchangeable) skin instead of three duplicates.

I know, never going to happen.

BTW - forgot to add Thank You!

I asked Russ via Twitter if we can either sell or gift the duplicate mechs. I'll post here if I get a reply.

That's a TON of coding for something they already have a provision for. I can see them emailing a code to allow it to giftable, or maybe even editing this wave to make it sellable. It's a long shot to apply the c-bill income/skin to another model...

Sell? no. Gift? Maybe. They let folks gift the Clan Wave 1 pack when they got 2 gold mechs. (Sadly, no one gifted me one of those)

Will the second copy be flagged as liquid, or will they be locked as permanently owned, like the original copies?

If one qualified for all three by means of prior purchases, and then purchased the Wrath pack in time to get the first month bonus, I assume that it'd be too early to fit within the bonus period. I won't bemoan that fact, as I have no need for second versions of any of my mechs, though I will be the barest amount of disappointed that I will not qualify on account of buying too early.

I'm in the same situation. Bought the $80 Resistance pack in November. But somehow people who bought the $20 pack and changed their mind partway through December get mechs and we don't? I don't really want 3 more duplicate mechs but this doesn't really make sense. Upgrades shouldn't count for this promo.

[Smoked]

That would be great if we could sell or gift. I would've bought the Urbie collector's pack regardless of this new bonus; I don't mind supporting a game that has given me so many hours of entertainment value. Anyway happy anniversary Piranha games and hopefully you will allow us to gift the mechs (to our alt accounts/kin folk/clan mates) or sell them for c bills so we can have 3 free mech bays and some cbills to go toward the other variants.

Thank you guys and Happy Anniversary!

I do feel Russ needs to address the community somehow on this one... Lots of confused & upset players over something that should be a good thing.
