I think it's a nice idea but not enough of an incentive alone to upgrade to the complete trilogy

I also feel that PGI's Priorities when it comes to the game itself and how it's playing rather then adding on pointless stuff that not alot of people really care all that much about

[Saint OZ]

Please, PGI, give us the Viper!

[Yozzman]

Its something extra for free! Thx!

This is pretty awesome.
Dumb question: do these 5% loyalty point medallions stack, e.g. four mechs with medallions = +20% total LP, or do they only apply an extra 5% for that individual mech's earned LP, e.g. four mechs with medallions = +5% total LP?
edit: I'm not clear whether we're getting one of each Clan medallion, or if we're getting 4 "omni" medallions. Seems like the prior.
Either way the question stands, since we'll have an additional medallion from the recent Clan event.

I too wish to know this

Well according to what I read on the forums here and on Outreach you need 4 medallions on your drop deck to get a full 5% LP bonus on your accumulated LP. If you only have 2 medallions on your dropdeck you only get 2,5% LP bonus on your accumulated LP.

I also read on Outreach that the Phoenix medallions also do give an LP bonus to ALL inner sphere factions and not only for the faction displayed on the medallion:

Maybe some Mod around can give an official answer or statement on this?

Better than nothing but quite lackluster all considering. At least we didn't get more beer steins.
Since wave II and III have the same colors/paint, I would have rather gotten some new colors or a camo pattern.

Well at least we finally get full camo pattern support for C-Bill bonus mechs starting with wave III which is great:

So finally paying customers do not get punished with camo pattern restrictions for actually spending money. I always hated the racecar stripe pattern of my invasion variants, so I painted them flat green - but wait one color channel was locked, and the other got annoying shiny surfaces that did taint the colors... Well, I will slap some real camo on my Wave 3 Invasion mechs ASAP and start grinding C-Bills while looking like a real warmachine at the same time! Thx PGI it was about time!

Do gold mech trinity owners get a special icon? I think that would be fair.

Unique Title: The Gullible

Unique Badge:

Perhaps I missed it with the forum being such a huge mess, but changing the icon is now an ingame function, right?

It would be funny to see just how fast that is in game.... and to watch the face plant it would do when taken out at high speed.

omg... I might need to bug Paul to record some footage of Mist Lynxes with inverted arms ragdolling at 238kph. I wanna see it, so bad! xD

So I spent $240 and then 2x$120 for a total of $480 on Clan Mechs alone ... and you're giving me a digital badge that I won't use, and four Loyalty Medallions that will reduce the grind on CW rewards by a mere +5%.

While free stuff is good, this kind of lowball reward is underwhelming, almost at the level of insulting.

To be constructive, here's what I actually want ...

• Weapons and Mech modules, so that I can optimise the $480 of Clan Mechs I bought from you.
  
• CBills, so that I can buy more weapons to create better loadouts for the $480 of Clan Mechs from you
  
• Useful unique new Mech variants (the Panther 4P being a great example)

Hmm, you do get/did get 4 additional variants, three free Mad Dogs, faction camos (faction/the other one), two free celebration Atlae and Centurions, lots of modules and premium time. And a lot of cockpit clutter than has no meaning. Plus, owning all three packages is its own reward. Did I just say that? Oh no, I went off the deep end...

Incidentally, the special geometry is finally something you might notice ingame. Too bad it does not apply to ALL mechs I bought with these packages. That would be nice. Otherwise pretty much in the why bother category.

Yes, most of those were reasonably useful rewards.

This one is neither a meaningful incentive nor a reward.

It's important to give PGI customer feedback when they misfire, to help them stay focused on providing useful rewards and incentives.

I didn't notice before that it is on the webpage as some sort of enticement... well, that is indeed not going to convince anyone

It's not meant to convince anyone. It's a nice little bonus for those of us that already have it.

(also they wouldn't have offered us a badge if we hadn't asked for it..)

[NocturnalBeast]

Can we get a title for people who have bought every IS package (Founder to Resistance 2), but no clan packages?

[Speedy Plysitkos]

So basicly, you must pay 480$ for a badge and medailon ?
Ok, i bought 20$ urbie, so now GIMME, gold camo for urbie. AND KODIAK.

If you bought all the gold mechs, you should definitely get a title, something like "The Insane".

[Danielio97]

I just don't understand some people. You know what are you buying, you buy it and then you automatically expect to get something extra? When you go to the grocery store and buy four apples you expect to get a banana for free? Ok, let's say there is a high probability of getting something extra, but you don't get a banana, but an orange. And you don't like oranges. But you still get something extra. Would you whine about that extra orange? I don't think so. So stop whining about getting something for free after your purchase, when you purchased with no guarantee of getting something extra in the start!

But when I buy 480 apples and get an extra orange, I might be somewhat upset about the guy next to me that bought 160 apples and got an extra banana. EDIT: It's more like he got 10 bananas.

Of course I'm not referring to myself, I don't have all 3 Waves - which is the worst possible position. I bought Wave 2 and Wave 3, $240. I get absolutely nothing extra at all. People who bought Resistance 1+2 paid $160, got an extra 4 mechs for having both - 8 if they bought in early. How do you explain that?

It should be:
$480: Wave 1+2+3 = Invasion MadDog + 2 variants as well as another new popular clan mech Invasion variant + 2 variants
$360: Wave 1+2 = Invasion MadDog + 2 variants
$360: Wave 1+3 = Same as above
$240: Wave 2+3 = Another new popular clan mech Invasion variant + 2 variants or some other bonus

Wave 2+3 should get at least something instead of nothing for the money they've thrown in especially when you compare it to the IS packages. They way it is now is just nonsensical and frankly a grievous oversight

Resistance 2 gets more colors.
I want more colors for wave 3, too.
if you are a wave 1 and 2 owner you get almost nothing with wave 3 except the mechs and goodies/colors you already have.

[Creovex]

The Maddog was the only reason I went full tilt on Wave 2 and upgrade my Invasion from Direwolf to Masakari

Thanks PGI for another free gift, the 4th variant was award enough for me on Wave 3 in my eyes.

Excellent !

I have all IS Packs too. Is there some Reward for having ALL IS & Clan Packs or are again only clanneres privileged?

Is there a way to show more than two Tiltels/Badges ?
