I haven't bought a single clan pack, but here's a few ideas to make trilogy awards a little more enticing:
1) Modules - Incentivize the player with less grind, a number of modules (4? 6?) that the player may choose from
2) Consumables - Let purchasers select from MASSIVE bundles (100x+ UAV, 100x+ Arty, 100x+ Airstrike) a number of times (4? 6?)
3) Warhorns - Probably the most sought cockpit items, open all original and clan 'horns and allow a number to be selected
4) Camo/colors - We all like color options. Allow one camo spec. to be applied to ALL these package mechs (like Phranken, as an example) and allow the players to select 3 premium colors for unlock.

To me these seem like good and generous rewards that are already in the game. The only work required would be creating a space under the user profile where the user would claim their rewards, and even this has been done a little with prior medallion and faction selection pages.

What would make it more enticing is not nerfing Clan mechs to death.

... eek, you're right, I just realised there's a July 21st deadline for achieving this reward.

PGI, plz... this stinks of "Limited content, throw us money now for your exclusive content!"

... it would be so much nicer if it didn't have a deadline. If somebody new to the game now decided to buy all three clan packs months from now... they don't get the nice thank you content. They deserve the nice thank you content. Lose the dumb deadline.

lol ... you mean like the Founder's tag?

Founders (and I guess Phoenix) supported the development of the game in its early stages and those programmes are closed/over for good reason. People can still buy all three Clan packs. Unless PGI decides to close Wave One on July 21st as well, I don't see the point in making the Trilogy Reward a limited time offer. If I wanted to buy my third Clan pack at a later date, I'd feel pretty jipped that had bought into all three Clan packs like everyone else... yet didn't get the badge to show for it.

IMO, it should be a reward/thankyou for supporting the game (/whaling), not beating a deadline.

@PGI :

Is there ANY news regarding the early early Adopter rewards?

You know, the people that THOUGHT they'd be the early adopters, but then werent because the deadline just got pushed back so that everyone would be an early adopter? (*sarcasm*)

Thanks

Good lord.... The early early adopters get a free unlock of the Polygon camo for all Wave III mechs in the package level they bought.

NP, for the record, didn't mean to come off as rude ^^; Just seen it asked a lot, and have answered it a bunch of times, with a lot of them turning into angry people over it, lol. So, my appologies if I seemed gruff.

[Zuesacoatl]

Why the limited time though? I will be buying the big package, I just have not had the funds to do it until after the 21st lol. PGI, think on keeping things like this till the end of the sale of the package. Sometimes life determines our funds location and we can not buy the package when others do. I have all but two of the top tier packages and feel a bit kipper if I can not get this because of a date that does not need to be there.

For those who do not know how these medallions work - its 5% if you carry ALL 4 on the 4 mechs in your drop deck. Which amounts to roughly 50 loyalty points for a 1000 Loyalty Point game.

I'm really really not the negative type but I feel the truth about this reward is that almost no players will go back to buy the previous packs (for $ when they are available for cbills) to get a reward. So instead of making a reward that ACTUALLY rewards the players who have already poured $$$x3 into the game, they probably decided it wasn't worth it. We are not worth it - they already have our money,,,
But then again, there might be some rich boy out there...So something had to be done to get to his pockets.... hence this.

If you haven't noticed, there is a decreasing incentive to play the game - rewards are getting meager by the day. The hero mech challenges....top 5 for a mech bay? - Top 5 means 3000 points minimum by the end of the event. Means you have to get 3-4 Solo kills, 500+ dmg for 10 games and hope no one beats your score 15 mins before the event ends...

Back to these medallions: You lose 15 LP per kill - (4 kills for a decent game) do the math and you'll see why I'm not jumping for joy...

You only lose the LP for the faction of the mechs you kill. For example if you're with Jade Falcon and you kill a Steiner you'll lose the 15 LP from Steiner. It wouldn't make sense to lose LP for killing your opponent

Correct - But if you want to reap the rewards of the Loyalty points of other factions, you have to hit level 20 then switch.

[color="#eeeeee"]Nope. 0 Loyality medalions till now.[/color]

[Neutron IX]

Same here. Title and Badge have been added to account, but no sign of the medallions.

[latinisator]

Same goes for this one.
I have got a JF loyalty medallion from reaching its respective level in CW.
Question: If I get the other one and equip both in Mechs I drop with in CW, will they add up their XP-"boost"?

[Outcast1six]

Only got the wolf loyalty medallion.



Forgot about the polygon patterns. Thank you.

[Alexander Garden]

Medallion injections are underway!

[latinisator]

Done

Well... Yes.... In a way...

A 5% medallion equipped in one mech only works out to a 1.25% boost to the overall match. You would have to have a 5% medallion in all 4 mechs to actually get 5%. Just like if you want 30% more CBills all 4 mechs have to be Heros or special units.

It splits all rewards evenly between the 4 mechs, that's why all 4 mechs get the same XP (exempting 2x XP)

Anyone else feel the loyalty medals seem a little rushed? IT seems like the Tukayyid banners again where they honestly felt rush and not the whole effort put in to them. I will be honest as I have not checked the other three Clans medals but the CGB one looks really plain.

Not minding the collection badge though, who ever does the badges do a good job there

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Nice to have.
