any particular reason why a 40$ package is equivelent to the founders/overlord/masakari/man-o-war? why is this even an option? Don't get me wrong, Urbie isn't quite the issue (not sure why we needed it) but being worth a top tier package? Seems kinda silly to give all the promotional stuff for at least half of the cost of the original requirement for a top tier.

YOU CAN HAZ ALL THE ASSIMILATED?

Also, I think I should be mad about urbie buyers being considered top tier, but then I remembered they're getting an Urbie... so I think it balances out.

What I find kinda sad is that people that bought the Wrath pack after the atlas was available, but before dec 16, won't get the Atlas... I don't want to spend more on this game right now, but man, that Atlas is sweet :(

its Bishop.
he wouldn't allow himself to be anything but number 1 in the urbie.

I'm going to shoot for the Blackjack. since the medium que tends to stay lower than the assault or heavy que.

it's something to aspire too, anyhow.

Would love it if it was a stock Urbie contest.

it made me buy the urbie pack that's why, they wanted my $40. Don't forget a brand new triple aaa game is $60, spending $40 for some mech+stuff is a decent chunk of change.

Een de Capellan Confederation, de top tier Urbanmechs you! (okay kids, google Yakov Smirnoff, and then google Soviet Union... nevermind).




Seriously, you get an AC20 mounted on a hobbled hobbit, how is that not top tier?!

Just stop fighting, buy the Urbanmech package, and be one of us... one of us... one of us....

IT's a ****** URBIE.

I love the urbie. He's not heavy, he's my brother. My slow, dim, super strong for his age little kid brother with a 10AC blockknocker that he is known to haul off and bean you in the beanbag with and run away giggling like a little troll. that's the urbie. And you get 3 of them, love those little ******** to death. But they're not a 6 mech 12 mechbay deal, so you give some incentive to go top tier on that by including them in this anniversary thing. I thought it was pretty obvious, and fair to the folks who couldn't participate before. I mean other than that, all the urbie has going for it is collector's item urbie-love from urbiefans like myself....

But of course someone found something to be upset about. So Yes. Yes Really.

Ok?

I guess Urbie 40$ pack sales were lower then expected, so some attraction should be made. To spare the labour, PGI threw in some stuff that has been already made. I have my doubts about Urbie 20$ pack, but i am definately not getting 40$ pack to get those 3 bonus mechs. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think PGI expected much sales for the Urbanmech to begin withwith, that's why they never made it earlier and why the minimum requirement for a "go to production' was so low.

PGI is making this mech more for fan service than profit, they just want to do a bit better than break even on this thing.

Therefore I don't think they are making the $40 pack count as top their to boost profit. If the mech didn't earn enough for PGIs liking to begin with, Russ would have tweeted it was a no go from the start.

If it will attract new players and investment in the game I am all for it. Try thinking of what will support the game.
