I understand wanting to keep the Urbie as a MC item. With the constant campaigning to PGI and the fund drive to make it happen, it was a special thing for the hard working/financial support player base to see the Urbanmech finally happen. It was our personal reward for our love of the trashcan when many others wrote her off.

However, the Urbanmech is a special mech and it should be piloted by all. Those who can't afford to spend the money or those who don't realize it is worth the money (but would try it for free) should have a chance to experience the fun little mech.

It was our hard work and dedication (financial or otherwise) that made it a possibility, but we didn't really do it for ourselves, we did it for the community as a whole. We few shouldered the financial burden so that the masses could understand how wonderful the Urbanmech is.

The Urbie is a great little mech and it would want to share it's joy and not be constrained to the few. In the true spirit of the Urbanmech, it should be shared by all.

Ehh don't know lol. Felt like making a free Urbie speech for the masses .

It would have been better with a soviet style poster (in shades of red) of marching Urbies with one large one in the foreground proudly stareing off into space.

P.S. In no way do I support communism, but they do know how to make amusing propoganda posters lol.

How about opening a poll by pgi (as we had for founders and phoenix owners). I'd also like to keep the urbie special. Its definitly not p2w, its more an exclusive piece for the ones who made this possible and for the real urbielovers out there
Let the majority decide

It could team up with St. Ives and they could star in their own 70's buddy cop drama.... "Dog and Ives".

Insert 70's funky sitcom music, film grain, and Deputy Dog JJ sliding across the roof of a building.

Being far removed from "pay for power" the Urban Mech packages are:

1) A fantastic Vanity Item
2) A collector/nostalgia fan favorite
3) A great package deal


They can have it for CBills when they pry it from our cold, dead hands!!

not to burst your cap, but even free i will refuse that worthless mech.

Just struck me a middle ground deal in order to appeal to both sides.

UM-R60 and UM-R60L are released as C-bills too, so players can *use the Urbanmech* for free.


PGI develop a new Hero Mech variant whatever they wish and as always it's Mc only.

This would give the playerbase the possiblity to try and play with Urbies but will still endorse the need to buy a MC only variant in order to master the chassis.
Thus keeping it Half way exclusive and Available.

PS: Forgot the add the UM-R63 (the special geometry one) remains just as exclusive for the Urbanmech packs.

No you're not.
There are some things in a F2P game that should be locked behind a paywall and the Urbie is one of them.

the Fact is most of the ppl who bought them already mastered those and move to keep mastering mechs..

They aren't crap and i keep a possitive KD:R on a STd 60 Ac/20 or STD100 Ac/10 one.

The only reason you don;t see them in hordes it's pretty much the E-peens who like to boast move to the chesse mechs/builds and the Urbies while capable requires more effort than just push 2 buttons .

You don't, fact, humans have to LEARN that fire hurts by actually touching it.

I was, for a very long time in the MW video games, an Assault driver who occasionally dabbled with Lights because they GO FAST! Until MWO that is, now I spend a good portion of my time driving Lights, they are hard to use well but once you get it down, even slow movers like the Panther and Urby are a blast to use. My kill to damage ratio in Lights is half what it is in my Assaults at worst, usually 1/3rd or better, as they require more precision and skill since you can't stand and deliver in a Light.

Try it, you just might like it if you really give it a chance.

Bad analogy is bad.....

[Roadkill]

Nah, in a way we already have our badge of honor. We got the Urbanmech produced.

We also got Urban Commando badges if we want something to display.

I just wish it could carry a 200 engine. 180 is just --><-- that much too small for my taste.
