I am guessing tomorrow... Just because it seems like a good friday thing, and NGNG would need time to finish the video.

Thank you very much for your post Tina. We appreciate the heads up.

On a separate note: It's good to see the Community Manager be more involved in the forums with us. Keep up the good work.

Today's?

Nope, today we're getting scale comparisons. The EBJ is really tiny. As in, it's cockpit is at crotch level with the MDD, and below that compared to the TBR. The Executioner also looks scaled properly. It's shorter than La Malinche by an inch or so, and almost as wide.

I think some of you guys are missing the point of the OP. All Hades is saying is that PGI needs to be more on the ball with these things, and do the reveals for crucial tech like MASC, sooner. It would have helped him make his purchase much earlier if he knew how MASC was going to be implemented. Instead of having to wait until near release to see how MASC worked.

He's not raging, just questioning the sanity of making a purchase on an item, that we don't know how it will work. While pointing out that if PGI shared this information earlier, and more clearly, they would probably get even more customers to purchase the packs.

yes that's nice and fine all but this business model of not giving information in time for early adopter rewards and such is asking people to buy on faith where is a good part of the community i would guess feel that this information is helpful in deciding to buy into the wave release, only partially or not at all.

Let's face it probably till a week or 2 ago they were not sure how it was going to work . Come on now we all know how this goes by now.

[cleghorn6]

But that's precisely the point of the early adopter rewards, isn't it? If you're prepared to take it on faith, or are just super hyped for the EJ, or just love everything PGI does, or whatever, you make the purchase almost sight unseen and get all the early adopter rewards.

If you want to know all the details, you wait, when sufficient info is available for you to make your decision, you do so. If that's just before release, you miss out on the early adopter rewards.

It's how the whole game has worked since Founders, I'm not sure why it's different this time.

Cleghorn does have a point. However, allow me to portray a neutral standpoint here:

You can always purchase for the early adopter rewards, and if you end up being unsatisfied due to lack of information, or anything else like that, you can cancel the purchase.

I bought them because... I WANTED MORE MECHS! So happy with my purchase!

I could have? i've got no idea about the PGI refund policy.

i appreciate the point but should i really be buying into something if i have hestiations to begin with just so i can rely upon a refund policy?

It's all upon your opinion of how you think it should go: if you don't like their return policy don't buy early, if you do then buy it early.

Still think lack of MASC details at the early adopter stage was a poor business model to follow. PGI you could do a lot better, please do so next time and learn from these issues.

I see your point, but to be honest I do that all the time at Costco - because they will let you return almost anything.

They only figured out MASC like a month or so ago iirc. They maybe had ideas how it might work but they really did not start anything past a thought process it seems until about a month or so ago. It honestly seemed a lot like it was "MASC, we are 99% sure we can get it in game in time for the package" vs ":Here is how MASC works"
