Out of curiosity, I've been digging around to figure out what the heck those exclusive items were that Gold Khan pack owners got. It's not everyday you see players who dumped $500 dollars on a Gold mech in PUG drops after all.

So far I found that the exclusive warhorn was the Gattling Horn, but I haven't been able to figure out what the Gold Khan Module was, nor have I figured out what the exclusive hanging cockpit item was. I also haven't figured out the Gold Khan title, but I'm not as overly curious about that.

Anybody got any idea what the module and hanging cockpit item were? I'm looking for an image of the cockpit item if you can find it.

They got everything in the Masakari Pack, plus an exclusive gold skin for one prime variant OmniMech in the pack of their choice, and a unique forum badge. Really, like Iqfish wrote, they do deserve to get a bit more out of it than that.

On a more serious note, I think they got "nothing" except the useless cockpit fluff.

I know this much, but I'm trying to figure out what the other piece of cockpit fluff was.

[Mystere]

They got 25 Mechs, one of them gold, and a whole lot of goodies.

Top tier clan pack
Gold brick hanging item
Gold Warhorn [it's like 3 literal horns strapped together that spin and blair your glory apon a kill]
Golden Prime variant of the mech you chose.
Special Forum Badge.


that's literally it, it comes out to basically 240 or so for a gold mech skin, + the price of the top tier clan pack.

[Xetelian]

They deserve a lot more.

25 mechs with only 9 good mechs. Not nearly enough warhorns and hanging items.


Personally I think a Gold Khan pack should have come with every gold mech.

and a second Prime mech that shares the same %30 cbill bonus as the Invasion prime does with a paint job you cant take off

Sad that you can spend $20 less and get all 3 waves so you can get more content for less money

Seriously think PGI needs to reconsider their sales model with the gold mechs I think if the pack included all 3 waves would be worth it

people paid $2500 for one of the ships in star citizen, and its not even a finished game

some people just spend their money on stupid things and PGI came out with gold mechs to oblige them

I see nothing wrong with it

[ChewBaka]

Has anybody seen a gold mech around these days though? I've seen a gold Dire Wolf a few months back.

What happened to them?

I fail to see how Star citizen even compares with Mech warrior Online

The fundamental problem is that the gold variant is purely cosmetic for a very significant pricetag with not enough to warrant it's outrageous price not to mention the point I brought up before

everything in star citizen is purely cosmetic too.

because the only difference between the paid ships and the ones youll be able to buy in game is the way they look.

star citizen is selling luxury versions of ships for real money, but the non-luxury version of the same ship will be available for in-game currency. all thats different is cosmetics. and thats done deliberately to avoid it being pay2win.

$2500 for a cosmetic upgrade to a ship is somehow justified? yet a $500 reskin of a mech is offensive? Thats hypocritical. Both are outrageously overcosted to anyone with a shred of common sense. But theres a lot of people with more money than sense. And if the market is willing to bear it, which it clearly is, then by all means they should sell them.

They deserve nothing more frankly.

PGI was originally selling the 500 dollar gold mech as a SINGLE ITEM.

Then they cought crap for that, and changed it so that the 500 got you the top tier pack + the gold items. So $500 gold mech owners got more than what was originally promised, AND HAVE ALSO gotten any bonuses that came with getting wave 1 clans.

I guess you think 500$ for 1 skin is acceptable. We don't agree, but I know I'm right because my dog can walk backwards on its hind legs while barking jingle bells.

[Imperius]

You get a module that puts like a keypad or a button in the cockpit, the emblem next to my name, a gold hanging bar, and the worst sounding war horn in the game.

I bought 2 direwolf and timberwolf

I I forgot it comes with added bonus of more friendly fire

Really? Because Star Citizen is getting away with it for FAR more than 500 for a single skin.

If people want to blow money on it, they can. You don't have to, and are not entitled to anything beyond what they're offering to begin with.

I'm a Legendary Founder, I paid $150 for 4 mechs, some premium time, a forum badge, and my name in the credits. And you know what, I EXPECTED NOTHING ELSE.

I put down that cash because I had faith in the product. I liked what I saw, and I wanted the founders skins on those 4 mechs [of which I still use to this day, especially the HBK and the AS7.]

I got what I paid for. As did anyone who paid for the gold skins, they got exactly what they paid for. top tier clan wave 1 pack, and everything extra that came with it + the golden mech [which is a 2nd prime version of chosen mech] and the bonus gold cockpit items.

THAT IS WHAT THEY PAID FOR. you don't have to buy it if you don't want to. And be thankful they tacked on Masakari pack to the offer to begin with after the initial backlash, because IGP very well could have told everyone to screw off and just sold a single mech for 500.

Again, you know what you're buying, cry hader... And given the amount of value... would you be willing to pay $15,000 for this https://robertsspace...tionist-Digital ?

Because really, when you stop and think about the amount of mechs and all you're getting in the pack, then break down the amount of ships you're getting in this... MWO is by far the better deal.

Why do you feel like adding more to a package later is a bad thing? It isn't taking time out of development and I'm not asking for them to implement something new to the game. A few standing items, a couple hanging items and some warhorns would be fine, no hassle.

2500$ for a ship skin is outrageous and why I wont be buying my way into the Alpha test. I think if they're going to have a package that expensive it should also come with a die-cast model and artwork like most collectors editions do.



If you have something to say about entitlement then argue it with someone else, I simply support more value for your money.

Not only does it sound bad it looks stupid too.

I take my gold Summoner out from time to time.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

look....

They got gold mech, and other things.

....and then there is one company which is selling 400$ non-pilotable ship.... and people buy it like mads.

[Iqfish]

Soo.. People this is a double edged sword.

On the one hand, you wan to make fun of people who spend money on GOLD MECH, on the other hand you have people spending 3-4 times the amount on star citizen, which in both cases is not to consider BUYING something but making a DONATION to help the development running and getting something in return.

I spent about 300€ On star Citizen and probably double the amount on MWO and I do not give a single damn of what you forumwarriors think about that. Jesus let people wipe their ass with their money, why on earth would you care?!
