Sad to say it but.... All the mechs I ever wanted to be in this game are here or on the way. What now? What will I spend my money on? The Kodiak is the last of the icons I wanted. The only mech that still remains is the Stone Rhino and one other. Can't remember its name. A medium mech that looked like an EBJ with a giant missile pod on its back over the cockpit...

Any way. There are only so many mechs so what is left to create in this game for me to sink money into?

Thoughts?

Quadrupeds.

(The other mech you're talking about, is it the Bushwacker by any chance?)

You are thinking of the Bushwacker sir. Or the Uziel and those are nice looking mechs. Chicken walkers are always the coolest designs.

PGI will always find more gundams to sell to you at gradually-increasing prices.

There are still some unseens left, along with a few Clan robots that some diehards care about (e.g. that fast 20 ton Omnimech that shall not be named).

If they get desperate enough they can finally, official push the timeline to a later year and start adding future gundams that people want, like basically everything from MW4 and MW3. They already added a Kodiak variant from 3068 as it is, so it's probably getting closer to the point...maybe by the real life year 2020 or something.

This one???

Uziel.

I'd rather have a better game and old mechs than new mechs in our current game. PGI not having mechs to work on might be a good thing.

[Revis Volek]

Quads will never make into the game for many reason, one PGI i dont think is cabale of making quads work in this engine, 2 there are not many at all, 3 its a very small niche or people who want them or would pilot them i think, thus the time and money put in would be wasted. Its just not lucrative for them to peruse...


and yea it does sound like he wants the bushwacker, but there are still many mech to put in now that we scrapped the timeline for the most part.

3060 has lots of mech designs we dont have in game maybe not any you know or have some nostalgia over but there is still plenty to make. But id just love to see aerofighters added, make the game 8v8 mech wise and you also get a lance of Fighters or tanks, (hell even quads like judo suggested) with limited respawns in some kind of support vehicle. Let me pilot a plane, please PGI, id love it.

Paint. Camo patterns. You wanna be harpooned, there's plenty of ways to do the Whale.

[FrontGuard]

Nova Cat
Fifnir
and many other great ones... but have to get back to work

[Lord0fHats]

There are still hordes of mechs in the current year in game (3052) and Russ has expanded to including mechs that can be built with 3052 technology, which includes even more mechs. PGI still has years worth of packs it can sell before it runs out, and thats assuming they never find any other ways to make money.

I still think an overhauled paint/decal system could make them a fortune without having to constantly put out new mechs.

[Moldur]

I don't think we are there yet, given the posts above, but I definitely feel where you're coming from, OP. I think we are nearing the threshold where PGI will need to find something other than mech packs to get people to stay.

Yes, PGI could put in every single mech that fits timeline and then some, but I think (ballpark estimate) in about 2 years or so, there won't be many chassis people care about that we can realistically have until PGI adds new content i.e. the Blood Asp and a few others.

Still waiting for Marauder II and Fafnir myself.

I seriously hope CW evolves in to this. Have maps much larger than Polar so fast aircraft and helicopters would be needed. Each side could have an air base ground base and mech factory that has to he destroyed to win. Give infantry unlimited respawns with a cooldown and a choice to jump in a vehicle, power armor or mobile artillery. I'd spend all my fun money on this game if something like that happened.
