Perhaps PGI will surprise us with a Comstar pack, though less likely.

Yeah, IS though I may be, gonna say the Clanners need more metal, more desperately than we do.

Here's hoping that after winning a game of chance with Harmony Gold, they got the go ahead on the rest of the Unseen.

Seriously - I am thinking some second line clan mechs.

Russ just let the Cat out... its a new CLAN PACK

Confirmed where?

[Lily from animove]

new like in "new mechs", or new like in: "we have put all reinfocement clanners into a pack because no one wants to buy a single 16$ NVA just for getting a E hardpoint as a new feature in a single sidetorsi?"

So we are right now in Russ Bullock's MWO twitter quizshow.

maybe, they now made a variant for each clanner, because before we did not had this for each chassis (HBR is missing in the reinforcements), and so we get a new pack now with 10$ mechs one of each clanner. so 130$ pack for the reinforcement pack

I hope not.. most those variants are trash to begin with and they just need to release em for c-bills so we can buy the flippin pods that are actually useful

Summoner C can go DIAF

[Mcgral18]

I'll assume Arctic Cheetah, Viper, Cauldron Born and....King Fisher?


If they fix MASC ShadowCat and Executioner become options. Not too many choices left.

[Brody319]

Please great and mighty Russ, grant me the Piranha!

[Deathlike]

I still see this as being "more existing clan variants" being released instead of a full blown pack.

I could be totally wrong.

Im pretty sure the Cauldron Born is a given (to my knowledge it is literally the only timeline heavy left until 3052) i want that for the ability to run dual gauss on a fast clan mech, so pretty much definitely buying at least that.. Im really hoping you're right, id buy that pack in a flash. the only way it could be better is if the medium was the huntsman, but the viper is more likely and im fine with that.

But they might be releasing the MASC mechs, and that really screws with my decision making because i doubt they are going to release the rules on it.. and the Executioners viability pretty much depends on what they do with MASC. I hope they dont, the Kingfisher will be interesting and definitely viable (though admittedly more Laser vomit.. zombie laser vomit?)

I will Richard-Cameron-punch somebody if so.

[KraftySOT]

Everytime I see someone call a clan variant or mech trash...it makes me hate this game a little more.


No clan mech is bad. PGI is just ******* terrible. Its them, not the variant. Its the rate of fire, the heat system, the maps, the shoddy hitreg, and the hardpoints system.

Pretty much every clan mech in the TT is a winner. Nova and Summoner included.

[STEF_]

The clanner side of my genes is happy

[Tordin]

Oh my. If the Shadow Cat and/ or Cougar will be in the pack.. If it fits with lore. That might be the first time I consider buying/pre order a clan pack.

Still. Even I who 95% of my time play IS besides playing around with my Summone/ Thor now and then, sees that.

The summoner needs some needed quirks, hardpoints, buff to structure, more speed etc.

The new Mad dog c could be revamped with chin mounted hardpoints. Preferrably energy or ballistics (remember the MW 4 Vengeance intro? Thats a vulture I want to replicate!)
Or make a new variant/ hero for that..

In general. Balance and adjust current clan (and is) mechs is a must, many suffer. Speakingof which would removable Clan ECM, BAP, JJ break lore? Make a compromise?

That would be my guess as well.

That or a "IIC" pack of mechs that are already in game, Ie, Jenner IIC, Hunchback IIC, Orion IIC, Highlander IIC.

[WarHippy]

I'm kind of sort of happy about this I think? It will probably have a couple mechs that I have been wanting, but given that the majority of the Clan mechs so far have been rather lackluster I'm not exactly looking forward to seeing another $120+ package. The Clan packages are for me at least feeling less and less worth it.
