Ok, thanks - free mechs are cool anyway. BUT. Its useless - a lot of players will not even try them out, because those are uninteresting for them... Make unique cammo, cockpit items etc but stop give use useless mechs! We have enoth already, its like 50% of in-game mechs... And You give us even more... What the reason?... Players who spend over 1 year got same rewards as newcomers, that's the balance, yeah!... Disappointed in yours logics guys, and if you ask me - I can leave with out those crappy mechs, you're free to take it out of me after redemption, anyway those will be dusted in my hangar....

Dear PGI, please elaborate on Urbanmech- last time I got the top- tier Crab for it, why not now?

simple. it's NOT top-tier. it's a single mech pack. the Marauder pack will likely be the same. a Top Tier Mech Pack has to be from a mech pack that HAS tiers. You don't get "top tier" from buying a Mastery Bundle, which is essentially what both the Urbie Pack and Marauder pack are. Only difference is they're both entirely new chassis to the game. And this isn't even counting the fact that both cost at least HALF of what the cheaper Top Tier (IS) do, and one third what the more expensive (Clan) Top Tier packs do.

So, suck it up, Princesses. If you don't get the Zeus/Executioner, you don't get the Zeus/ Executioner. Simple as that.

Urbanmech Pack is a 2 tier pack.

Base Tier: 3 Urbanmechs, bunch of stuff.
Top Tier: 3 Urbanmechs + unique 'Hero' variant.
Additionally the Urbanmech Collectors pack was counted as a Top Tier package for the purposes of previous rewards.

The Marauder Pack will be the same, a 2 Tier package.

It's also silly that SOME things count for two sets of loyalty rewards, but others for actually buying the same pacakges at release, don't.

I mean, I only lose out on the Zeus, and I'm not that fussed about it (qualify for the ones I actually like anyway), it's just peculiar.

Awesome PGI - Thanks for the free stuff

A JJ cicada, a MASC wolverine, Nova, and Executioner pods that help those two mechs out really well, and a decent Zeus. Yes, no one will use them. I literally can't see a single one of them being useless.

wow ... so much new mech i don't know i if i wan't them :/

Does the first top tier package (Founder) equal a Inner Sphere top tier? I hope so. It's not a clan package ;D
Then the Unseen aka Phoenix and the first Clan top-package.

So it's five mechs? nice!

[TheLuc]

Sorry IraqiWalker, just like the AH Centurion, I had to contact support to have it removed and that Cicada seem that it will share the same fate. I prefer CBills and do what I want with it, 2 mil is just a zoom module.
btw Bonus on loyalty points wont revive CW and Bonus on CBills hardly shows.

Naghtshade24, the humming noise is constant and the loudest of all the Mechs in MWO, the others are very quiet in comparison,. As I wrote before most likely I will contact support to have it removed once its stripped.

The AH is one of the best Centys in the game. Hands down. See, there's a difference between a mech being objectively bad (Like the Mist Lynx), and now knowing how to make it work.


EDIT: I do understand your viewpoint, but this is far friendlier to new players who have spent some cash on the game.

11 Pages and no reaction from PGI.

Would be nice, if they can give at least an answer: Are the November Resistance Package Buyer egliable or not.


I still hope, 1 January is a mistake from PGI, cause they didnt realizle the November Thing.

So far, we got responses from PGI, and it seems like the November buyers don't qualify

You have to have purchased a top tier package within 2015. Not "owned" a top tier package ever. So for IS, it's Resistance 1, and Resistance 2. Urbanmech counts as a pack purchase, but not a top tier pack purchase.

What page? Where is the response of a PGI ?

[MoonUnitBeta]

So much praise! Thanks PGI.

It's sad to see all this joy turn sour when the handful of people realize they can't sell them and start complaining.

Keep up the good work though. Ignore the spoiled and reward the humble!

probably didn't notice, but they took the mechbay with that AH when they did it

[Warchild Corsair]

Yay! Free stuff

I really love those customer reward programs!

[Speedy Plysitkos]

still didnt see, the big 5 are with or without mechbays ?

[Keeshu]

I hope I already qualify for the cupcake + mech bay due to playing a bunch earlier this year. Been very busy for the past few months so I haven't been able to play MWO (or any other game) much for a while.


As for the mechs:
Cicada 3F: Not a fan of Cicadas, but I'm a sucker for jumpjets. Though, I'm a worried about the leftover tonnage for weapons. Though, I haven't mastered Cicadas yet, so I don't know where they excel outside of being a light in a medium's body. So probably not going to be my thing, though I do quite a few people that will spaz out about how awesome this mech will probably be.

Wolverine 7D: I haven't used masc yet, but I have a feeling I'm going to be a sucker for that as well... However, I'm not a huge fan of the Ballistic + missile combo. Just taking a glance, I only could see myself using one of 3 builds. #1 Gauss + medium #2. 2 AC/5 + Medium. #3. 1 Ac/10 2 SRM 6. The AC/10 + srm 6 is perfect tonnage wise, so I could see this variant making me get into ac/10s.

Nova D: With the inclusion of this mech, it'll let my Nova do something else that will be fun outside of assassinating people with 12 ER medium lasers (it's my favorite way to play the Nova currently and plays unlike anything else). There's 2 builds I plan to do with this. #1. 2 LRM 15 (5 tons ammo), 6 ER Small lasers (left arm), 2 Machineguns (0.5 ton ammo) or #2. 1 Narc (torso, 1 ton ammo), 1 Lrm 15 (2.5 tons ammo), 2 Machineguns (0.5 ton ammo), 6 Medium Lasers (left arm).
I look forward to seeing the right arm missle omnipod. Looks like it'll be very fun to use.

Zeus 9S2.... I have a hard time playing an assault in solo queue (and if I'm going assault, I prefer to be 100 tonner anyways). Though, the Zeus does look like a solid mech. The Steiners can have it.

Executioner. Once again, assaults not my territory (but executioner might be faster than some heavies) That right arm ballistic. It makes me want to go 2 SRM 4 with 2 tons ammo in the left arm, an UAC/20 in the right arm, and 1 ER large laser for each torso. SRMs+UAC 20 for short range cause those low arms are worse than I could have possibly imagined, and 2 ER Larges for tickling the enemy to death. The only build off the top of my head that I'd prefer to do is something dealing with a guass + ER PPC in the torsos, probably 6 small lasers in the arms.



Looking forward to seeing these mechs, they seem pretty fun.

In addition to the # battles since January 1st, could we also get dates on when we purchased collections, etc on their respective page?
Thanks in advance,
