Any idea when is that coming?

[kapusta11]

In 3058

[Mcgral18]

Probably shortly.

Possibly with the Viper and Arctic Cheetah; good fast mechs.

Cauldron Born and KingFisher?


If they get MASC fixed by then, maybe ShadowCat and Executioner.

[SgtMagor]

think their making the ® mech pack before another Clan pack, or it seems that way!

Viper needs MASC also.

Never mind its just crazy fast because of its huge engine.. Mmmmm now I really want the Vper!

Unless the Shadow Cat is in the next pack, count me out.

Not for a while, and t will be a tricky one to handel correctly, as the bulk of the Clan units that arrive between 3050 and dark ages seem to be second line units (Clan standard Battle mechs)..

Clan battle mechs, with the way battle mechs work, in terms of flexibility would be grossly over powered when compared to IS battle mechs. On top of that, with the way that battle mechs work, there would be no reason to use an omni-mech they would be horribly out classed by the 'less advanced' battle mechs....

So it's a tricky spot that PGI has landed in, to ballance clan battle mechs would brake IS battle mechs, but to leave them as battle mechs would be the straw that broke the back of the Omni-mehcs.

I would imagine that once IS Omni-mechs are released, we will see a fundamental shift in how everything works.

I miss the old days when they just...release the mechs to everyone.

ASAP. People are already tripping over themselves to give PGI money for 2 packs at once, why not 3?

[Scratx]

LOL, no.

There's enough mechs on the pipeline (and mech packs) for six months. After the new year, with clan mechs done and production well under way on the IS ones, they'll start planning which mechs go next. Then, maybe, we'll hear about a new pack.

Don't count out the solo releases, though. May still happen. Who knows.

[Malcolm Vordermark]

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it shortly after the initial injection of Wave 2. I think they're finding the package deals are more lucrative than the old method, but I don't think they would announced the next package before the one they are working on is done.

Why not? In this day and age of video games we already have some companies announcing and detailing multiple DLCs before the game itself is even released!

I suppose technically they already have with the Resistance pack. But thats a bit different since its for the other faction. It feels more side by side instead of one on top of the other.

I'd say it is mostly an overload thing. If I bought wave 1, and I'm waiting on wave 2, I'm probably not going to be too eager to buy wave 3 just yet.

Mechs on release day for free is without a doubt Lostech.

No it doesn't. Its just a naturally fast mech. You aren't the first one to think this though, so I honestly don't have a clue why people are thinking that this is the case.

Viper would probably be a shoe in if they make it into a package, but it will also make a good variant to do as a "general mech release," like the vindicator. If they are still doing that.

The mech release rate is the same or faster, you just have the ability to get them early for cash. Personally I like the ability to prepurchase a bundle with some bonuses. It was something I wanted all the way back to open beta. It is far more likely to get me to spend money on mechs than in game MC prices, hero's excepted.

Blood ASP please.......

[Angel of Annihilation]

My Ideal pack would be:

Light 1 - Arctic Cheetah
Medium 1 - Shadow Cat (Just ditch the MASC already and give me the extra tonnage)
Heavy 1- Cauldron Born
Assault 1-Executioner (Same ditch the MASC and give me tonnage)
Light 2 - Cougar
Medium 2 - Viper
Heavy 2 - Night Gyr
Assault 2 - Turkina

Bonus = Kingfisher

They would get my $240 right then and there for this pack. Wouldn't even think about it.

Out of that entire lot, there are two that I want for sure, and two that are iffy for me...

Couger
Cauldron Born

Maybe the Executioner depending on how it looked same for the Shadow Cat...

I would rather see some IIC mechs, like the Warhammer IIC, Maurader IIC, Rifleman IIC....
