I only vote Yes if all Phoenix Owners get a Tina Benoit Hanging Item

(Edit Catalina Steiner): Nice idea but the picture needed to be removed. Your suggestion will be discussed within PGI.

Why would we fight for the ability to buy mechs that we can already buy with c-bills?

Also, why would we have any interest in this? I mean we already have whatever Phoenix mechs we wanted. And it's one of those "one of a time collections", after the Wave 3 early bird incident, another ignored promise/deadline? I will surely vote "no".

This is how I feel about this also.

It's the geometry. I own all the founders mechs, in non founders form. I have no chance of ever owning the founders style of each variant. It was part of the reason people preordered.

Actually, my sole reason to become a L-Founder was that I wanted to help an new, hopefully enjoyable BT-game come into existence.

Why waste development time?

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

Simply because one little detail: Phoenix was not meant to ever get back once gone. I already felt cheated when I bought wave 3 before the end of Febuary and then it turned out there wasn't any rush to buy after all. I don't see why I would vote to go thru that again. Also I have not one bit of interest if other people lost the chance to get the (P) mechs the first time. Make Phoenix 1.5 and that would be ok.

My phoenix mechs are getting their Phoenix paintjob put back on them, and as many phoenix cockpit items as I have put in them.

I'm also gonna slap on the Overlord tag again.

[MonkeyCheese]

Cool aint gonna complain about another bonus 2mil to go towards my eventual herpderping of builds for my shadowcat and cheetah.

[JediMechwarrior]

Will the Phoenix medallions be included with this release? Wouldn't mind acquiring the two I missed.

[Hagen von Tronje]

-frantically searching for his dictionary-
I do not own the Phoenix-Pack and I do not intend to buy it. But I think, a re-release is not a bad idea. In many other games you can slaughter mobs an bosses as long as they drop the item you want or you can buy them in an auctionhouse, by NPC or ingameshop.
Nothing from that is possible here. We are dependent on PGI sales.
This is my first game where people say: You can not have it. You've missed the occasion and now its over.
Think, this is ********.
I'm battleteching almost 30 years and by the time I have almost 200 little pewterfellows and i deffinetly will get more. But all at once is not an option. Its a question of money. Same here. Don't think somebody should be punished for beeing not a wealthy man.
I see nothing wrong in re-releasing the Pack for all the players hesitating the first time or without the resources to buy, because there are always more important things to buy than pixels, but that does not mean, someone is not interested for a later time.

Wow... Its great to see the usual self entitled and selfish users out in force again.

PGI wrote, that the (p) mechs would never be sold again... PGI LIED TO US ITS THE END OF THE BLOODY WORLD!!!!11ONEELEVENZEZ!!!

So what? Are you going to whine and vote no just because you personally are enraged at a decision of PGI? Or will you be voting no because you dont want others to buy into your super special secret society circle?

I for my part will vote yes just to give others the chance of buying the Phoenix mechs IF THEY WANT TO. Let the people who actually want to spend money on the already released mechs decide if tehy want to buy them or not. It doesnt mean that people HAVE to buy them.

Stop being self entitled and selfish brats!

For the record, PGI never said that the (P) mechs would be on sale here, and I don't remember them ever saying that the (P) mechs will not be offered again. You can't get the (P) mechs unless you are a phoenix package owner. That is true, and will remain true. XD.

I agree with some other posters that Phoenix was supposed to be for a limited time. However if we get an option to bring Phoenix back then we should bring back Founders too.

well if the majority of phoenix owners feel that way, that's the way it'll remain.

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.

YEAH !

Lets make a STARTER pack with unlimited availability, including FACTION CAMO !
I suggest they just use the most sold MASTERY PACK of each weight class for a STARTER PACK with 4 IS mastery packages.

What is really the point of us voting yes or no? We should get a kick-back if we vote yes

[Rogue Jedi]

well looks like I will be running the Griffin and Wolverine all weekend, I am not very good in SHD, LCT or BLR and I suspect the Heavy queue will be overpopulated with TDRs

I would vote in favor of allowing people to purchase Phoenix (and Sabre) again, it was just a Mech pack.

some have suggested returning Founders packs for sale, I would not be in favor of offering the Founder pack again in its original form, it was mostly about MC, early access and supporting the game before its release, I do not want new players running around with a Founders tag, however if it was reworked into an "original 4" Mech pack with 3 variants each for JR7, HBK, CPLT, and AS7 including a "special" variant of each corresponding to the founders variants I would not have a problem with that, but it definitely should not be called "Founders" now that MWO has been around for 3 years

• 
  
  • a poll will run for Phoenix owners to determine if the Phoenix Program will be available for sale again

It should only be allowed for owners of smaller Phoenix packages to upgrade to Overlord.

Unless you give medals to owners for Resistance packages, this should be the only option we decide about in the poll.

[Satan n stuff]

So... you're giving away the limited hula girl that was a prize for the very first tournament event ( Jager vs the world ) that you claimed would never ever become available again? You couldn't just reskin it so those who won it originally could keep their limited edition item limited? If you're going to keep doing this then what's the point of offering limited items as a prize at all?

If I were her I'd be more than a little creeped out by this screenshot though.

Well regarding all "exclusivity" and as original Phoenix and Reinforcement owner. I will say that this is a game game and everyone deserves equal right to have fun, so:



Let everyone who desire Phoenix package have a chance to get it, after all - they asking us and giving us a choice with by default stance on "NO".
