This is now official PGI's license to print money. 55$ have never been earned so easy before.

Can PGI please clarify the following statement:

"Please note that you will only receive the Early Adopter promotion for the Collection you are upgrading to if you upgrade your Collection before September 30th at 11:59:59 PDT (October 1st 6:59:59 AM UTC)"

Since there is no 4th variant this time, what "extra" early adopter reward do you get for preordering the standard vs. collector vs. hero pack? Since camo schemes are unlocked on a per-chassis basis, shouldn't it automatically be unlocked for the hero mech even if you purchase it months later with MC? Or is PGI now locking camo schemes down to individual variants?

[Skillionaire]

Insta-purchased.

My question is: when will the Marauder IIC become available to Clans? This needs to happen!

Seems like we won't be getting special geometry on pack mechs anymore. (there wern't any in the last 2 mech packs they announced)

Which is too bad because the cost is the same, even though we are now getting less out of it; just a unique camo and 30% Cbill boost now.

They would have had a great opportunity to add a more enclosed cockpit as the unique geometry.

One simple reason. Too close to the Harmony gold design.

I'm assuming they're talking about the camo unlock early adapter reward.

"Polygon Camo unlocked for Standard, Special, and Hero Marauder Variants"

Special, and Hero won't get this camo unlocked after the early adaptor deadline

Oh my god thank you. Just... thank you.

So If I buy the top-tier marauder pack, AND the $15 extra for the bonus one, (Total of 55$) I still don't qualify for the Top-tier IS appreciation reward? (It was a Zeus).

That's messed up. I can understand the 20$ package not getting it, or maybe even the 40$ one, but not even if I pay 55$? That's messed up. I'm not buying the top-tier or the bonus hero 'Mech if I don't qualify for the reward. I'll just buy the 20$ one, or none at all.

So they should have put in a variant that has a rotary AC/5 (that doesn't come out until 3062) just to have an ECM version of the Marauder?

especially when there's like 6 more variants also available right now.

[1453 R]

Great jimmeny jeebus, triple ballistics in the 3R's right torso?

The AC-5 spam will be real. People thought the JagerMech was the premier hill-humping heavy sniper? NOT ANYMORE, BOAH.

Also lulz Bounty Hunter limited to a 275 tops on a 75-ton chassis. Poor, poor chump...at least he gets hands-down inarguably the best hardpoints of the bunch for raw freaking RAWRGH. Seven energy and a RT heavy ballistic, plus jets...yeeuup. He may move at Dire Whale speeds, but he'll hit harder than any Sphere heavy has hit before. Heh, almost too bad they didn't go the 9E 3015 'lostech' Bounty Hunter route, but then I suppose if you want 9E on a Sphere heavy the Black Knight's got you covered three times over.

[Malleus011]

300 Engine cap on the Bounty Hunter, please. As I mentioned in another thread, the BH model is a customized Mad-3R, not a factory variant. They modified it to take a smaller fusion reactor, we should be able to easily modify it back to the 300 Vlar.

Echoing this. Bounty Hunter will not be a purchase for me. 275 Engine cap is disgusting. Should be the same as the rest, or at least 300.

Bounty Hunter gripes:

The smaller engine cap is likely what lets you guys get away with the extra energy hardpoint per arm. 7E/1B is pretty ferocious; the Bounty Hunter's clearly intended as a 'Firepower' variant on Piranha's new D/M/F/I pie chart. If you get it kicked up to a 300 max rating, you'd have to lose some of the firepower.

You willing to toss one or both of the extra energy from your arms to get that higher engine rating?

Yeah really and absolute speed cap of 70kph for a heavy makes that something I doubt I'd ever drive

If I still played IS mechs, I'd get this, but I've just accepted the fact I'm a clan Loyalist.

Maybe throw us a IIC?

[627]

so why is the designation BH2 and not only BH? Sure would be the samewith the Boars Head, but there is MAD infront of it. or was there another lore version?

by the way that hero will be fun, 7ML, AC20, 4 JJs...

[JohnnyWayne]

I said it for about 3.5 years now. I'd totally buy it.

So I did.

[Tapdancing Kerensky]

Instantly purchased.

You got my money from the letter 'M'

They look amazing, and you have earned d my $50.

My ONLY concern, is that they will do something wonky with the ballistic barrel.... Please, please, PLEASE, do not make the barrel short if I stick a Gauss rifle in there. It HAS to have that big barrel, or it's just not a Marauder!

[-Ramrod-]

Sure wish PGI would release mechs 1 by 1 like the old days. 4 Variants for MC and C-bills and a Hero later on. Vindicator was the last to do this. I'd love to buy this but there are a few things PGI needs to address first and foremost...
