Just visited my profile, apparently I'm not getting a Cataphract in spite buying a Marauder and Warhammer though I am getting a Hellbringer for my Kodiak. What the hell did I miss regarding the IS packs?

Chill Dee Eight, not everyone has the patience and attention to detail to see that part... and they certainly don't have as much time as you to skulk through 28 pages of repetitious kvetching...

I know you probably don't care, but your tone is painting you as a pompous @$$

ITS IN THE FIRST POST announcing the loyalty rewards. [Redacted] Its not like PGI has put it in russian or ultra small font print or tried to hide it. [Redacted] Maybe try even using the search function for the forum.

Chill D8, It's just a game...Forum.

You are not morally obliged to answer everyone's questions.

Another D8 failure: It quite clearly says Ultimate PACK

Actually NO, [Redacted].

When you already own a standard or collector's pack, there is displayed under the ultimate pack option...

To complete the Ultimate Pack, please purchase the individual packages above.

Which means, it is NOT considered a tier level of pack of its own. It is merely a collector's top tier level pack pre-packaged with the hero and reinforcement add-on features for one purchase price. Furthermore, if you do not already own either a standard or collector's pack for a mech model, this message is shown...

The Ultimate Pack is not an Upgrade option

And here I had thought you had finally smartened up

Not being an upgrade option does not prevent it from being an independent tier. Better luck next time

So is Bushwacker gonna be counted for this?

[Papa Smurf]

It says I have qualified for all of the rewards except the inner sphere but I bought the Cyclops collectors pack. Doesnt this qualify as Inner Sphere? Just wondering.

If you buy it before the rewards program deadline, yes.

If you only just bought it, the qualification page only updates once per day.
If the Cyclops is your only IS Collector's Pack, you need a 2nd to qualify for the top tier IS reward.

[Papa Smurf]

It says that I have qualified for all of the rewards except for the inner sphere although I bought the cyclops and it lists the cyclops pack as one of the qualifying packs. Now correct me if I am wrong, above someone stated that if you bought the standard pack and then came back and bought the collectors pack it doesn't qualify. This is what I did and I hope by some weird play on rules that it does not disqualify my purchase.
I know we have some trolls and A-holes on here and yes I read their small print and yes I know what between Oct 2015-2016 is. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a glitch or I missed some small piece of information.

Overly complicated eligibility criteria.

I have dumped silly amounts of money into this game, but no Summoner or Stalker for me. Ho hum.

Not exactly encouraging your core players, PGI.

[ERescue]

@Papa Smurf: You missed a minor, but important detail. In the case of packs of specific chassis, you need TWO collector level packs within the right time frame. Your Cyclops pack provides you with one half... picking up say, Marauder or Bushwacker will get you the other half. Also note that the page updates only once per day, so the effects of any purchases are not instant.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: The above is, IF you want the Stalker, too. The Cyclops collection alone does get you the Cataphract.

I don't want to say that I'm "lazy", per se, but looked through at least half this thread to find an answer to my question before posting. Is there a way to see how many of the 100 matches you have so you know how far away you are from the Anniversary cake?

I don't know, but looking at your profile on the leaderboards might get you close to approximating it...

Just look at your own ranks on the leaderboard for quick play... it keeps a record of # of matches played in each season it has been tracking them. I myself qualify for that particular award every 4 days. Since the current season started on Sept 1st, I'm at 156 wins and 149 losses in quick play..In august I had 401 W / 416 L, and in july it was 529 W / 597 L. I'm now past 6600 total matches since January 4th so I'm definitely getting that cupcake.

Why no rewards for Steam Packs? Did you forget the game went on Steam within this year, and people buy through Steam as well?

Steam takes part of the money. There are plenty of games that are on steam that give bonuses if you buy directly from them.

Thanks. Any way I can tell when the seasons started/stopped? In MWO it gives one number for "Season 2" ending October 1st, but on the website it shows stats for 3 seasons. My kid's account is either very close or very far away...not sure which yet...

[Dee Eight]

Seasons started on the 1st of the month and end on the last day. The in game leaderboard for some strange reason started with season ZERO.
