Just bought this package. I hope every mech will have some use in CW.

[Alexander Steel]

I got the package as well on the 31st. The first set of banked time was supposed to be delivered on the 1st ((yesterday)) but I didn't get mine. Anybody else having problems?

[Kinski Orlawisch]

I think it is delayed. (Forgotten)...and will come monday.

[Leiska]

I didn't get my banked time, either.

Jenner might. The hunchie definitely. Can't really tell about the others.

You probably get it when the camo patterns are delivered. Check the Faq.

while mixed tech is nice, i dont like the visuals. orion and highlander seems much uglier then originals.

Wow, lots to fix.

1. They are not mixed tech. Clan mechs are just not all Omni.

2. Well this may be just me, but I find then to look better then their TRO artwork.

Now to see some IS Omni's come out... I am hoping Owens, Centurion (Omni) or Men Shen, Avatar, and Templar or Sunder. I'll look around to see if anyone else has something about this or a poll.

Think we will see a single player campaign by the time the wobbies come out? Maybe we could actually see the events of the Jihad?

The IS omnis would be largely DoA in MWO.

[Bluttrunken]

On the IIC deal really good chassis(For the Jenner and Hunchback I'd argue even the best, for the Orion it's one of the 2 strongest at least.) are Early Adopter Rewards. Even though I was about to buy the pack before the deadline I didn't because PGI decided to mess with their customers to rake in quick money. I have not the least sympathy for that. I spent the 80$ on a different game.

I think the Sunder, Owens, and Templar would have a place. I want the Centurion Omni myself, because I honestly think the Centy deserves it.

The Sunder and Templar are assaults stuck with deadly XL engines, while the Owens has fixed TAG and BAP and, it seems, no Endo/Ferro, which is a no-no on a light. They seem quite DoA to me.

They won't be Competitive, yes, but in the group queue. That Owens will do some good work.

The Sunder and Templar will play as fast assault. Much like XL battlemasters do right now. Not competitive material most of the time, but pretty darn good, even in CW, and far from DOA.

I would like to see IS XLs get a buff though, the same kind others want to use in nerfing Clan XLs. (Lose a ST? Lose half your speed.)

Losing half your speed is ridonculous. On a clan mech, I'd say losing a third of your top speed, should be the max.

People forget that when an XL engine loses three slots it is OUT. Done for, with a possibility of going nuclear. However, here it seems like they just shrug the damage, and keep going. When in fact, their reactor is mere seconds away from dying, and possibly nuking the area. We need to convey that properly on clan mechs.

IS mechs don't get to experience that. They're more on the "fast and loose" side of things. Lose the ST, POP goes the mech XD.

Give them a 30%-40% cooling buff all around.

Oh. Forgot about that part. That might get painful, but as Nathan Suggested, giving them good heating quirks could compensate for it.

Or PGI could implement McGral's suggestion which makes SHS only 25% less effective than DHS, instead of 50%.

[Feywald]

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this (did try and skim read the whole article), but will the faction content packs for Wave 2 and 3 change with the release of Origins?

I am considering purchasing some mech's from wave 2 and would hold off for a bit if I could get the new alternative colours with the pack.
