Actually the best game package ever was the Clan Invasion biggest package.

Best means cost and content ; and i mean LP bonus on both mechs and medallions.

For those of you who suggested bring Founders mechs back. ABSOLUTELY NOT!

As to the Phoenix Pack. Maybe, provided there are some differences. Such as.
-different forum badges
-No (P) models available. Create a new (P2) model from one of the other variants or a new one altogether.
-gift the (P2) models to existing Phoenix owners, call it a loyalty gift.

Call it Phoenix 1.5 if needed.

Why waste development time?

Why deny people the chance to buy the Phoenix pack. I see no reason for this.

And another STANDING item as a top reward. I'll soon have a huge harem of dancing girls, guarded by my personal Gazelle dropship fleet.

( brb, need to grab another cup of pop )

Yeah that is one thing I noticed. The personal rewards are the exact same from "Calling all Founders". With this many Hula girls you could build a harem...Could PGI have some closet otakus in their ranks?

This is a perfect description of this event.

It is a Flop for all those who have purchased the Phoenix Project, but will be a big splash for the ones who will buy the Phoenix Project when it gets voted to be resold.

I am personally not interested in any of the Phoenix mechs, they are very outdated, poor variants, to say the least. The only discontinued mechs that I even have a small amount of interest in are the Founders Hunchback, Jenner, and the Sarah's Jenner.

PGI apparently has run out of ideas when it comes to new weekend event Ideas. This will be the 3rd lost weekends in a row for the rest of the current active MWO community. Which is a shame to say the least!
CW participation continues to crumble while these events continue to go on...

Bringing founders back would be a bad idea for the store. Why would anyone every buy any normal MC any more? For $60 you get 20K MC, two months prem time and a mech to boot. As for bringing the phoenix pack back, why not? The rest of the mech packs are on sale and it would be a good proposition for someone who wants to start out and is happy to shell out $60 to get the thunderbolt level.

I won't take much part though, working 12 hours shifts during the weekend

Well i have phoenix overlord + saber reinforcements package and i have no problem to make it avaible again to other players.

"It's a complete blah blah blah blah to us founders and phoenix...." oh please shut up.

Really are you gonna throw that much salt just for a package you have already enjoyed a long time ago , it sickens me the idea of a bunch of self entitled babys don't wanting to share their toys with others that's BS and you know it.


PHOENIX + SABER USER HERE , I SAY YES TO RELAUNCH THE PACKAGE.

Oh jeez, I don't know if I can do this again. I squeezed in a lot of matches in my AS7-D(F) last weekend to finish in the top 5.

But my BLR-1G(P) is my most played mech so I kind of have to...

I am against a RESALE of the Phoenix Packages !

For me thats like making available the FOUNDERS packages for resale !

In my eyes it would be better If they make all this mechs available in MASTERY PACK's

Pretty much my sentiment as well. It is going to get a NO vote from me.
Limited addition items should remain limited else you should not have said it.

"Project Phoenix will be made available for a limited time only, and once vaulted these packages will never be made available again!" statement right there. If your going to keep this path dont make these statements never ever!

Add more salt please.

I would be ok with it if it was only a mech bundle sale w/o exclusives like the (P) models, badges, colors and preorder perks.

Let folks buy a bunch of mechs for a good sale price without undermining those who got the packs originally.

This is incredible. I look forward to participating. I don't know how well I'll do, but I'll be happy to knock out a lot of matches in my locust throughout the weekend. As much as I hate to do it, I'll probably be rebuilding it to match the quirks instead of the more lore-friendly build I have on it, now. That is, presuming I just can't seem to accomplish anything with my XL190, 4MG, AMS, ML build.

Now, if only we could get it so that Phoenix owners could have access to all of their badges and titles, up to the tier they own. I have a love/hate relationship with my Overlord Star.

I'm also in the camp of bringing back the founders program if we bring back the phoenix program. They were both meant to be limited time offerings. Had I discovered MWO during its inception, I would have happily shelled out the money to become a founder. You could even make it so that a renewed Founders program could offer Veterans 1 mech, Elites 2 mechs, and leave the Legendaries with all 4. Then, provide a "Redeem" section on the profile page to allow the first series of founders to choose the appropriate additions to their "Founder" bays.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, this also leads to the question: Is PGI planning on bringing all the packages back and eventually having them all in the Pre-Order store, like massive bundles people can purchase to cover all the bases and rapidly get into the game with everything they'd need to fill a CW drop deck? I'm not averse to this, and many other games do it. The "League of Legends" 'Starter', 'Champions', and 'Collector's' bundles; and the "Marvel Heroes" 'Hero', 'Team', and 'Mega' bundles all come to mind as prime examples of this.

I'm very much not averse to it. In fact I think it'd be incredible. I'd be particularly happy if they turned around and made a "Founders Wave II" with a special Commando, Centurion, Dragon, and Awesome in the style of the original (F) mechs.
