I'm interested the question:
why IS have lot of heroes mechs but CLANS does not have any heroes mechs?
Why game developers have not made characters for the following chassis:
DWF - Daishi
WHK - Masakari
TBR - Mad Cat
MDD - Vulture
and others
1. This increases the purchasing power.
2. This will add to the lore mechs of the game.
3. Older players it will add interest.
4. New players will get a wider choice of mechs.
what's wrong? If game developers create these hero mechs - I buy them, and I am sure that all the fans of MWO - they all will buy this hero mechs!!!

Problem is that this are all OmniMechs not "normal" Mechs like the IS-Heros.
The first Clan Hero is the Kodiak Spirit Bear because this is a "normal" Mech too.
OmniMechs can switch their Pods, so you can run them with differnt Hardpoints. This is the main problem for OmniMechs as Hero Mechs. And if you lock the Hero OmniPods it is no longer an OmniMech. And if you make the HeroPods only available for the Hero version some will cry pay to win.

But normaly not available in the timeline. MWO is around 3052 (not sure the real year because they made some rollbacks). And the Mad Cat MK 2 is around 3060.
They can still make Heros of the 2C Versions and other second line Mechs like the Behemoth.

No timeline anymore Kodiak 3 variant is 3068, only stipulation is tech, and the Mad Cat MK IIhas enough current tech variants to pass the test.

Its only tricky because PGI's balance is horrible.
balance IS and clan tech properly at the base level. eliminate the need to use quirks as a means of balancing IS vs clan.
Then BOTH iS and clan mechs can have quirks. And clans can have hero mechs with quirks. but the hero quirks would work like set bonuses where you only get the quirks when you use the matching hero mech components.

Again the solution is easy. Something like set bonuses. Where the number/strength of the quirks the hero omnimech gets are based on how many of the hero omnipods you use.

What about if you took a shot every time a convergence thread popped up?
Or every time Imperius plugged the g'damned Mad Cat Mk. II?

Even the Kodiak 2 is 3062.
But the "normal" Kodiak is available since 3001. And all variants they use for MWO use Tech that is available in 3052.
The Mad Cat MK2 is build in 3066. Do you see the big different.

Mad Cat MK II doesnt exist in 3052.
The Kodiak at least exists in 3052 in some form.
Theres a big difference.

Well, that and he's Imperius. The man has never met an opinion, argument, or piece of evidence he wasn't willing to completely ignore if it disagreed with his own notions.

We still have set bonuses for OmniPods. But how many players use them?
More weapons or other loadout or some little quirks? What will you choose?
And yes the bonuses are little so a Hero need much more of them or they will switch the pods like now. But more bonuses is more crying about pay to win.
So it is not so easy to create an OmniHero.

Not more pay to win than already existing Battlemech Heroes are, so no problem there.

Which is why they need to balance IS and clan mechs better at the base level.
Currently Clan tech is better than IS tech so clan mechs cant really have quirks
But if clan tech was equal to IS tech then both could have same number of quirks
So the solution is balancing the game better at the base level so both clan and IS can benefit equally from quirks

Being Pay to Win can have nothing to do with IS vs Clan you realize that right? A variant having access to the best omnipod combination is still pay to win, regardless of tech balance.

If you're listening PGI, sign me up for a Joanna:
1) Hellbringer (Twycross) or
2) Mad Dog (Falcon Guard) or
3) Summoner (The mech she killed Natasha Kerensky with)...
The cockpit pit item should be hanging spiked gloves too

Are you going to just say you can't equip X, Y, and Z omnipods because that would make it more powerful, or are you trying to say that it wouldn't access to ANY other omnipods?
