cyclops? black knight? also i thought Russ had mentioned that the mauler had been worked up at some point?

also does anyone know if they are finished releasing hero mechs?

[Corbenik]

Man I want the Bushwacker if they are making the Ej might as well add the BW

Piranha is all I want.
Piranha is all I need.

12 MGs... oh wait, nevermind, MGs are still ****.

I would still love to see it in-game tho.

All that being said, a Mauler is really appreciated just for the epicness of BattleTech Animated.

I'd be sad if there's no Crab involved.

Need a set of Crabs to go with the King Crab. 2 Crabs and a King Crab with filler will make for the most glorious of Crab battles.

I think whatever mechs the Inner Sphere gets, getting something that isn't humanoid shaped would be preferable.

Would love to hear about the next IS pack!! Hopefully they will share soon.

[C E Dwyer]

Well very hard for PGI to make any packs I am likely to be intrested in, unless of course more unseen are re seen.

after wave three there is zlich Clan mechs I want

Two IS assaults

Cyclops,
Charger which will be acused of being DOA

Two IS heavy
Hammerhands
Axeman

Six Mediums of which all will be called DOA

Assasin
Clint
Dervish
Hatchetman
Vulcan
Whitworth

Two Is lights of which are most likely going to be called DOA

Hermes.
Javlin.

So its very unlikely that PGI will get me spending any more money on MWO if they expect me to buy packs and really relying on endless sales of them was allways going to be the weak point of this platforms longevity

ala cart I haven't much use for, as you forefeit any camo and cockpit items

only other mechs i have much interest in are wolverine and thunderbolt heros

Lyran neglects to post about Wolfhound. Much dishonour.

Well it was certainly crap in TT. When a scenario gave you one you're like- what the hell am I going to do with that? Melee or bust!

[Myke Pantera]

I'd like to see a Reinforcement Pack with either 2 40t Mechs or 1 40t mech and one assault. There are not much heavies and lights left of the 3050 TRO that aren't unseen, or lack variants. A reinforcement pack would help close that gap before advancing to later TRO's

I said which ones I would be interested in, and if you notice all the mediums, lights, and assaults i mentioned are in the first edition TRO 3025

I don't think we need any more IS packs. I think they need more clan mechs so we dont always see the holy trinity being played. I think they need to focus more on finishing CW and making the mechs they currently have more balanced instead of releasing more mechs.

[Dulahan]

Assassin is the one I hope for. Cicadas are my specialty, but I think it's as much that's my sweet spot for speed, firepower, and armor. So more 40 tonners is a good thing to me!

[Darlith]

I swear this topic comes up on a daily basis, which explains why PGI thinks they need to focus on packs and release all mechs as packs.

Wish we could occasionally just get a single mech release here and there, but I suppose people wouldn't buy into them as heavily. And the bonuses for buying in packs are nice.

At one point they said that was going to be the way it went. Packs yes, but they'd still be releasing new mechs individually outside the packs every month too. Sadly, that seems to have quit after the success of the Clan Packs.

Well, other than the King I suppose.

I am betting on:
- Javelin
- Assassin
- Black Knight
- Cyclops

Although I wish there was something else for the heavier two, they seem kind of...meh to me.

Given that we got PGI to make the Urbie, I bet with enough clamor and begging we could get an unseen pack. Just have to accept that they can't look exactly like Macross designs.

And maybe call it something else. Homecoming Pack.

I am so completely fine with them making some (enough) editorial changes to make it fit.

Don't care as long as the Hatamoto is part of it. That being said, I feel the Mauler needs to be in there also...and since packs tend to come with one mech for each class, the Hatamoto needs to be the bonus mech for buying the full pack.

Just realized, there is only one Mauler variant available at this time ....might have to make it the bonus mech.

Mechs are pre-sold as a pack but released chain fire mode for cbills and mc on an almost monthly basis, just not the way they used to, with Vindicator being the last in that mode. Russ has also mentioned that packs is the way to go at least presently. As long as the mechs are popular, packs will continue to sell and importantly so.

that makes the choice of mechs extremely important. The last time when a poll of the grasshopper / black knight was needed is a testament. I hope that they will do polls this time as I found that the resistance pack had not been personally appealing. (Wave Three though was wow! And I got it immediately within Feb)

The Javelin would add a missile heavy variant to the current offerings. It has a 2M, 3M, 4E, ECM, and even a 7E version.

Compared to the ballistic and laser heavy cicada, the assassin would provide options for missiles at the badly neglected 40 ton segment.

I would like the exterminator, hammerhands or penetrator at the heavy side.

and either crockett or cyclops for the assault.
