They better be giving us a countdown for the CB and EXE. Tina, (or someone at PGI), if you are reading this thread, I personnaly loved the Urbanmech countdown even though I did not get the pack. I think the community would love the hype leading up to the release of these two mechs.
Cheers!

Gosh I hope so. i asked about it in the urbanmech countdown, and someone said it was going to be the aim to make every release more of an event... but, I don't remember if that was an official someone or not... But that was a really fun format they had, and I'd like to see it again :3

Well they missed their chance for ten days, I'll guess they may do a five day countdown.

So, just over a week until they are delivered. The last I saw they only revealed the concept art for the CB/Ebon Jaguar. Any screenshots? Any word if the ones released this month will be released with negative quirks on certain pods?

All clan mechs will be delivered with massive increases to laser duration and heat generation because they are overpowered according to IS pugs.

We did get a quick look at the T-pose of the caldron born, as well as a look at the cockpit in the most recent vlog. That's really about it.

Maybe no countdown because PGI realises this wave is going to be a hot mess of incoming nerfs?

I find myself regularly contemplating upgrading from my EJ pack to the Executioner pack... but... just doesn't have the free tonnage for me to have fun with, I think :/ If they fix assault mech JJs though, I'd probably buy it in a heartbeat.

I did it for +4 mechs I mightlike, and the associated extras.

We'll see if I regret that decision.

Did they change things so we can have multiple duplicates of the anniversary mechs, or did they just goof when I received them in triplicate.

Nevermind, I found the text after some googling (the forum search did not find it)

[color=#EEEEEE]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[/color][color=#EEEEEE]th[/color][color=#EEEEEE] 2014 at 12:01 AM PST, the purchase of any additional Top Tier Packages between December 16[/color][color=#EEEEEE]th[/color][color=#EEEEEE] 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).[/color]

Founders cost more, for far less.

We get a much better deal here, trust me.

So you'd rather have 80MC, than roughly 20,000MC's worth of content?

[Russhuster]

They can laser nerf everything but the arctic cheetah into the ground for all i care... All my wave 3s will be rocking ballistics The Ebon Jag will be a god of ballistic pain, just as Kerensky intended.

and how long do you think it will last till all the ineedatruckofbuffsandquirks Players will howl and whince like puppys so the ballistic clan weaps get a massive nerf like the lasers did at the Timberwolf?
21% Cooldown between UAK rounds or maybe 10 Rounds per shot ? half Ammo per ton? oh and malfunction rate +50% for ALL ballistics including gauss and LBX?

Dont get me wrong, iam one of those enthusiastic weridoes buing clan mechs despite all the nerfs, even preorderd the waveIII but unfortunately iam realistic enough to see whats happened with wave I and II
i also got.

I think you are exaggerating quite a bit... The Clan ACs just got a buff because they were worthless. PGI seems to be taking a more ignore the whiners approach to their quirkening these days, and hitting good balance. I never liked my Storm Crow, never owned a timbie... But from what I understand the nerfs hardly touch them. And actually make heat management easier... I don't think they needed those nerfs, as someone who's been on the IS until about 2 weeks ago. But whatever.

They aren't broken. The ACs aren't anymore either. Things are getting more 'balanced'... I don't fear for my wave III mechs. Any changes they make won't be drastic.

Your Word in gods ear,.. but well see in mayhaps a month or two anyway
