So I've bought the Kodak standard pack, rifleman standard pack, and viper standard pack.
I get the basic clan and is reward?

Cool

You get both. So that's an LT and RT energy hardpoint, so now we finally have 6E hardpoints on the summoner, its a historic day.

yeah... a sad one... summoner got infected at last

Not sure i qualify for both, though. But, one ST with E will work for me. Dat Prime arm with the peep quirks.

I might be able to swing upgrading a pack to get both, dunno. No mechs i want currently. I just wanted a Summoner that was close to viable... thats all.

These loyalty variants look good. I'm happy for the ones I qualify for. This is the best set of loyalty variants I think there have ever been. Kudos to PGI.

I do agree that they should fudge things for people who prefer to buy hero add-ons instead of collector packs. $50 is $50 whether a person buys it as a collector pack or a basic with extra variants or with the hero add-on. I hope they'll be flexible on that. Valid point from people saying it leaves a bitter taste.

These are some great loyalty mechs though. Looking forward to playing them.

I've sent an email off to PGI because I want to try and understand the logic on the eligiblity for top tier rewards. Realisitcally if you've spent $80 the right way you get the top tier. I've spent $170 on IS mechs and $120 on Clan mechs but I'm not eligible.

Hate to sound whiny when complaining about free stuff, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

You might want to send an E-mail to account support... If you bought 4-5 Packages that = 80-100, or perhaps a combo like 1 collector, and 2 normal? Maybe that should be included as a way to hit top tier packs.. It can't hurt to ask.. Or perhaps make a new thread discussing that exact issue. I do like the concept of it.

Didn't spend any money in 2016? Then no 2016 loyalty mechs. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Not how it works; not so straight forward

That simple?

Tell me this... I bought the collector warhammer pack Oct 2nd 2015... another guy bought it a month later... he gets rewarded for it and I as an early adopter get the finger.

Money is money man... pretty "straight forward"!

We'll see what they say, we've got a month and a half to figure it out.

You get both... you can't get one and not the other. You either qualify for both, or you don't qualify for any of them.

For one build Gas. For 9+ months.

That's never really been a problem for me. I even sold most of my alternative clan CT's a while back... And I'm a buildaholic. Never saw much need to have more than ~2 builds up at any given time. So just 1 is hardly onerous.

So Bishop and I (but mostly me) suggested all of these when PGI asked for suggestions. You're welcome everyone!

Thanks for suggesting such rubbish Clan mechs. I'm not complaining about the Hellbringer, but the Summoners? WTH were PGI thinking? I'm wishing i bought an IS pack instead of a clan one after seeing these choices.

The Stalker is gonna be a beast straight away, it fills a void that IS needed filling, even the Blackjack will make people happy. But what can you do with the Summoners? 2 LPL 4 MEDs? Timber will do it better, or 2 UAC/5s 4 MEDS? Again the Timber does it better, hell even the Ebon Jaguar runs these builds well. I see no value in buying another Clan pack just to get these Summoners.

That's always a concern clan side: TBR/EBJ/HBR is going to do basically everything better.

But with that said, if you're a summoner fan, this is great news because at last you'll be able to build decent builds for them, which wasn't really possible before. If you don't care about Summoners in particular then no, I wouldn't rush out to buy stuff, but if you do? Then this is a breath of fresh air (well, even if it IS somewhat unfortunate in terms of just enabling laser vomit)

Out.

Now.

You do not diss the Summoner. The Summoner DESERVED these chassis. You can do better in a Timber or Jag, but those aren't GOD-DAMNED Summoners! The chassis is legitimately if of my all-time mech designs, and you won't be able to disrespect it without a fight on your hands.

[LordNothing]

i dont think i q for the summoners. but i get the jack and the hellby and a mechbay. of those three the one that is most valuable is the mech bay for the mc purchase. missiles on my jack wtf?

Meh, 9000 people suggested these variants.

Anyone with access to the internet can check out Sarna and see what variants are missing from the game.

"This is proof that PGI really does listen, guys!"

Or proof that they also have access to the internet and know how to use Google. <shrugs>
