Pre-order bonus is now closed, I take it?

Just the Day-1 bonus for the future Jagermech-A Champion... but there's plenty of time for everything else when acquired in May.

Still, the Jagermech Champion is a throwaway gift IMO, and it ultimately will end up being a mechbay.

Yeah, I love the tears over the badges. Who cares? lol. Didn't they even say they were going to hook us up with the original designs at some point anyway?

You'd be amazed at what people care about. I'll admit, I was a bit miffed when my awesome flaming skull badge was swapped out for a little spear tip in front of a shield. Will it stop me from buying the pack? No, but people were understandably upset that they didn't get what they were originally shown.

For example: I don't think too many clanners would be too happy if they were told their Wave I titles of Steadfast, Determined, Defiant, and Iron Clad were to suddenly become Bondsman, Freebirth, Stravag, and Surat at the time of release. Some people wouldn't care, some people might think they're hilariously awesome, and some people would be utterly enraged.

Regardless, yes, we were told we should be getting the old badges. It was possibly going to be the 21st of April patch, but I don't think they could get it in on time. Here's hoping they come on the 5th of May.

Wait... on the FAQ for R2, it talks about the mech release schedule...

• Mauler: September 22nd, 2015
  
• Crab: October 6th, 2015

Q: When will Resistance 2 Early Adopters receive the Early Adopter rewards?

The Mauler, and the BKs 4th variant are coming out a week before the rest of the variants? I'm.... guessing this is a typo?

[Simbacca]

Why no early adopter award for ala carte purchases?

It was just a typo on the launch page for it. Its since been cleared up.

-ST

I think the typo was due to a copy-paste SNAFU. There's still this little gem on the page

[Wildstreak]

I do not see anything showing any of these as Omnis.
I do see the Mauler attempting to out UAC the UAC Wolf.
Seems like these packs are being cranked out like crazy.

[Clownwarlord]

Mauler ... 2 PPC, 2 LBX, 2 SRM packs ... brawler and medium range anyone?

The Mauler looks like it will be great for Pug matches but not CW (actually all of them look good for Pug but not CW).

Hahaha, that's awesome....

Gotta be careful with that copy-pasta XD

[Clownwarlord]

Wolfhound Born interesting ...

[LordLosh]

Why no early adopter award for ala carte purchases?
$35 is more then the cheapest package and almost as much as the second package. Pretty sure that should count for early rewards. It counted for Clan Wave II
I call BS!

Yeah, I was thinking "I don't want that Jager, no need to buy on Day 1".

Then a day later I thought "I could have sold that Jager for CBills and kept the Mech Bay".

D'oh!

They screw these release date FAQs up every single time, no surprise.

[Gattsus]

If I get A la Carte, do I receive the champion mech (with the 30% c-bills bonus)? (I know I don't get the extra variant)

Dear PGI, pleast, explain us about this 1st day reward.
Does it mean, that any level of Resistance II pack will be awarded with new champoin mech?

Does the Sexy Blonde girl come with the Mech as well!!!

[Grey Death Storm]

The other complaint i have and No disrespect to your artists Mastery drawing skills is Black knight in general does not look like Black Knight in previous Games what happened to raised left Arm Guard and Knee Gaurds, The Black Knight previous Games looked more Baddass!!

See http://fc02.devianta...echa_Master.jpg

[Ace Selin]

For Clan heroes ideally no other omnipods can be used on it and it comes in different paint scheme and bonus cbills.




As for Resistance 2 I wish the Black Knights torso lasers were at collarbone level (like prior games) not waist level & would have been very nice if they added a BL-P that had 1-2 ballistics instead of another laser version (especially after just releasing the Grasshopper).

Dear Russ and the developer at PGI,
I'm sorry, but I must pass on this wonderful offer. You see, I CAN NOT, in good conscious, continue to financially support a game that still has major problems with it. I'm not talking about balance between clans and inner sphere, or even between one weapon or another. I'm talking about hit boxes, poor hit detection, and most importantly, being disconnected from matches on a regular basis. Please don't get me wrong, I've spent almost $400 on this game over the last three years. For the most part I've enjoyed my time spent here. Unfortunately the above problems have made it very difficult for me to play matches without becoming VERY frustrated. (Dropping out of a match 2 or 3 times takes its toll on a person. So does delivering 88 points of damage into the CT of a storm crow only to have his ARMOR turn orange.) Please rest assured that I will continue to play your game in the hope that these MAJOR problems will be dealt with at some point and time in the future. Should that ever come to pass I will consider the possibility of spending my money on your game once again.


TL;DR Fix the connection issues, hit boxes, and hit registration and I'll spend money on your game again.

[Thorn Hallis]

The artworks look pretty poor this time.

And I see a hard energy nerf incoming after release.

[QuiverNAY]

Craps.
Why only one day? Are you kidding? Checked news Saturday morning, and already late...
World of Tanks wins this weekend. )
Going to buy couple of tanks...

Cheers
