We have now had 4 mech packs in a row for the IS , all of which are releasing within 3 months of order

The IIC were announced in February and only now released over 10 months later?

I hope the next pack is Clan for fairness and that if this is the new model that they alternate

4 IS mech packs in a row is imo too many!

Clearly these packs generate revenue for PGI to run and develop the game

I'm ok with that, I've purchased many and backed this game for long time.

However I would like to see some other development but I'm scared that because they cannot monetize it we will never see more game modes , maps or tech upgrade

I hope I'm wrong

stay positive! we have a battle tech game something we didn't for years so enjoy it

and remember ColdTurkey is the only way to be sure

I want the IIC Urbie.

[Juodas Varnas]

4 packs.
Yes, but it's only 4 mechs.

[Illuzian Pryde]

The fact is, there are far more choices for IS 'mechs at the moment than for clans. I do not mind IS getting more 'mechs at all but we need more first line clan mechs and if we are going to get second line clan 'mechs, we need some that are not just redone IS 'mechs(IIC) like the Kodiak etc.

I totally understand where we are at with the classic reseen 'mechs but more clan choice would be more satisfying. I will continue to buy every top tier pack regardless though just for the new toys and bonus goodies, but I just hope we land more clan 'mechs soon.. but please no more IIC variants(unless they are the reseen IICs... I would be sort of okay with that).

Any new clan omni mechs released will be mostly of the "useless gimmick" variant anyway, with dumb stuff like masc/JJs/no FF/endo/oversized engines, etc, making them non viable.

They still havent made mechs like the summoner and nova worth using and they were released how long ago? The sad part is people actually wasted money buying those mechs even though they were told exactly what would happen.

Let me consult my magic crystal ball here

I'm seeing, in the future... Warhammers, Marauders, and Riflemen... IIC versions

But the IIC were released all simultaneously yesterday, while the IS players still have to wait for the Rifleman, the Warhammer, and the Archer. Who knows exactly how long until we have all of them. I say the timing of all things was fair.

Don't mind the next pack is about Clan mechs.

OP: IICs were announced in June.

MASC, JJs, and oversized engines making mechs non viable?

Well darn.

*I'd love to see some more assaults or heavies with MASC and JJs pls, preferably also fast ones.*

All 4 IIC mechs - Dec 16th

Marauder - Dec 1st

Warhammer - TBA (probably 2016)

Rifleman - TBA 2016

Archer - TBA 2016

So after 6 months we got a pack of 4 mechs. Meanwhile only the Marauder has been released so far and the other 3 don't even have release dates for the IS stuff...

4 mechs to 4 mechs as well, the IS got the equivalent of a SINGLE mech pack. These are being done in the style of the Urbie because they're 4 very iconic mechs of battletech. Thus they're getting a sort of 'special' release to celebrate them, additional goodies are being given with purchase if you look to offset the cost too.

[Alistair Winter]

i agree. We need more awesomesauce IIC mechs.

Shadow Hawk IIC
Griffin IIC
Phoenix Hawk IIC
Rifleman IIC

First time I would ever consider buying a top tier Clan pack.

[Vellron2005]

I'm thinking they have been working hard at buffing the IS Laservomit stable..

They have also tried to release "crowd pleasers".. meaning that if they keep doing that with clan mechs, we can expect the Kodiak, since that particular mech had been wee-weed most about..

I would not be surprised to also see the Marauder and Warhammer IIC versions, since they seem to be extremely popular..

I would like to see some mechs, but they are out of timeline.. other than that..

[Anarcho]

I think they will release new IICs or clan heroes. No more ominis for a while.

[Chuanhao]

1) agree next "pack(s)" should be Clan

2) would prefer single mech release than "pack" as it allows more choice at a lower price point. E.g. I didnt get the mauler at $35 ala carte (3 variants), but i probably would have paid for mauler "pack" at $35 for 3+1 variants and hero.

3)next clan pack should be clan battlemech pack rather than omni. Makes investments in clan engines more viable.

4)preference is for clan battlemechs rather tha IICs. Grizzly, Kodiak, Piranha.
