@PGI :

Is there ANY news regarding the early early Adopter rewards?

You know, the people that THOUGHT they'd be the early adopters, but then werent because the deadline just got pushed back so that everyone would be an early adopter? (*sarcasm*)

Thanks

"Early adopter" "badges" etc. - All I care about is 3 shiny new mechs to play with - 1 today, 2 more next month :)

How many times do I have to answer this question? XD

The early-early adopters receive a free Polygon camo unlock on all Wave III mechs in the package level they bought.

I'm really curious how the Arctic Cheetah's shoulder missiles will work... In order to aim, the entire arm has ro pivot at the shoulder... Will they aim like torso mounted weapons at that point? Will they aim like arm weapons up/down, but not able to exceed torso twist? Or will they have full function and be able to shoot out the side as if they were on lower arm actuators?

This is an interesting dilemma, and I'm curious what they will do... The 2nd option seems like the best to me, able to aim higher/lower than the torso, but not off to the side... But will the coding allow for it? What sort of ramifications will this have for future mechs? Such as those that have seemingly aimable torso weapons, like the Marauder's back cannon? (obviously Marauder will never happen, but there are other mechs with turrets on top) Or mechs like the Arctic Wolf? (obviously a bit out in the timeline yet)

I imagine it'll be the same as when you fire SSRM/LRMs on torso mounts / fixed arms, and they'll turn a little to match the bearing of the reticule.

Alex said, in the latest dev vlog, that it was quite difficult to figure out how to do it, or something along those lines, so I am very interested in what they came up with as well.

Yeah, I remember that... So, that's what makes me think they didn't just make it the same as a torso mount...

Really looking forward to the rest of wave III

Just realized I never got the bonus Radar Derp and Seismic Sensor, from the March 31st reward.

Have any of you had those injected yet?

I would be willing to bet you did receive them, and just did not realize it. I believe that was before the reward window was fixed to show what you received.

Well I've purchased 4 sets of RD/Seismic with cbills, and I have 6 total sets. I thought I'd gain sets 5 and 6 from previous preorder packs, meaning Wave 3 brought me to 7.

Maybe I've just forgotten how many previous preorder packs actually had bonus Derp and Seismic thrown into them..

Per the very top of the FAQ, which is linked in the first post in this thread, they will be released on July 21st. http://mwomercs.com/...lan-wave-3-faq/
