The MASC Spider would be far preferable to the Flea (which would be more fragile than the Locust). The Wolverine has a MASC variant too, which would be cool.
Hell at this point I am just SO happy to see anything new that isnt mechs or maps, they are still welcome yes but Id rather new tech/modules/weapons.

Unfortunately, Russ shot down the Flea within minutes of announcing that MASC was coming. He just flat out said no, it's not happening.
I shall forever remember you beautiful concept art </3

Top-tier/Gladiator level Wave 3 purchases will qualify you for the 15 Year Anniversary Reward 'Mechs if you acquire that top-tier Collection before February 28th at 11:59:59 PM PST.
Important note: the injection of those Reward 'Mechs for eligible accounts won't occur immediately (according to the current injection schedule for those Reward 'Mechs). We still need to add the Wave 3 system to the 15 Year Reward promo on the database side.
If you've already qualified for the 15 Year Anniversary Reward 'Mechs due to an existing top-tier purchase that fell within the eligible timeframe (December 16th 2014 until February 28th 2015), you will not receive duplicates.
The main wave III page states "Purchase before 28th Feb" for the bonus mechs. Does this include the day OF the 28th? Some people don't get payed until then.
I have to admit that I really had the wind taken out of my sales by the lack of a Firemoth. I realize the Arctic Cheetah is a better mech for the meta, but nothing gets the adrenaline flowing better than believing that at any moment parts of your Mech are going to start flying off if you don't make use of every building, large rock, teammate, and enemy looking the other way that you can.
I'm only really excited about the Executioner. If the Firemoth (even sans MASC) was offered like the Mad Dog was with Wave II, I'd be on board in an instant. Or even if it was offered standalone like the Urbie, then I'd have more faith that I'd be able to complete my TRO 3050 collection.
I would be hesitant to preorder the full set even with early adopter bonuses. Last time I did that with Resistance I got burned. Because I had bought too early I didn't qualify for the PGI Anniversary bonus mechs, however those that upgraded to a larger pack did.
The main wave III page states Purchase before 28th Feb for the bonus mechs. Does this include the day OF the 28th? Some people don't get payed until then.
Any Collection purchase that is processed and finalized in our account system prior to February 28th at 11:59:59 PM PST / 7:59:59 AM UTC will classify you as an Early Adopter.
So the same cutoff for 15 Year Reward eligibility.
Your prices have always sucked and they act as a roadblock to some people. Whatever. Can't have mechs in my mech game without giving up an arm and a leg.
great Mechs, great concept, great "adopting stuff". Overall i should happy with this package but as a wave 1 & 2 owner the faction content is bugging me really hard. I was expecting at least some nova cat stuff. Even better if there were also Steel Vipers and Diamond Sharks like you mentioned last summer. But it seems like you simpIy recycled the stuff of wave 2.
I like collecting different colors and items but getting the same stuff again (4 Times) isn't acceptable :s ...and where are the badges and titels? I hope you will change something about it.

Only with the non-Prime [I] Variants.
The Prime [I] Variants will have unique Patterns that cannot be changed.
The eventual MC/C-Bill Prime Variants, which won't be designated with an [I], will be able to use Patterns.
Does this mean the plans of making the Clan camo work with the Invasion variants have been thrown out? Last we heard the plan with Wave 2 was to allow the Invasion variants to use them.
