Honestly, most of these variants seem uninspired and likely to add very little to gameplay. Sure, 1 or 2 of them might offer new and better hard points but the rest? Mediocre™.

well each of these Heros have 1 or more Unique OmniPods,
and the reason they seem more like Sidegrades rather than Upgrades is because they want to avoid P2W Crowd,

That's nice. I'll wait for C-Bills like most people, then. I have absolutely zero reason or incentive to purchase any of these variants because of how incredibly whelming they are. This isn't avoiding P2W, which honestly you can never do, they're always here, this is a bad design decision.

No offense or rudeness intended to you, Andi. You're just the messenger and I certainly don't hold you at all responsible for the actions of PGI. I just think that these new variants were very disappointing for some of us. Not necessarily I, but those who had suggested some very good variants from TT that would've been unique, interesting and worth the cost.

Well, unfortunately, you are kind of incorrect about that. KFX-PR "Purifier" is, in pretty much every way, a strict upgrade over every other KFX in game. Why? Because of the ST energy hardpoints, at least two of which will have high mounts. This means that the KFX-PR will easily out-do most other Light mechs as a heavy energy sniper(think 2 LPL in the KFX's ears).

[Scout Derek]

For Kitefox,

8SPL (Hero STs, Prime or C LA, S RA. S Legs for jump jets)

7SPL+ECM (Hero STs, Prime or C LA, C RA. S Legs for jump jets)

Kitfox for now. more to come in a bit.

and the fact that it can now be a effective laser boat with ECM and jump jets. (see post above)

Nothing new can be said for adder, that is, any good builds.

Hey, at least you won't lose your ST mounted ACs/Gauss as easily.

You'll have a long wait on your hands, Heroes will never be released for C-bills, nor will their pods.

I'm not sure why they didn't bother with pre-order bonuses. There's really no incentive to pre-order them. No bundles either. As a whole it's pretty underwhelming.

I have to admit having a 2nd ballistics arm for the SCR might be nice. I just wish it wasn't attached to a Hero.

[Nightops25]

Yeah, I'm not getting a whole lot of excitement over these

That's the whole thing about omni-mechs. Thanks to its lego system, even Clan Hero chassis lacks soul. Unlike IS Hero mechs.

I originally glanced over them and yawned....But...Timberwolf Left Arm ballistic....I nabbed that instantly....mini Mk.II is my plan! (2xGR w/ missiles, and med lasers! )

Debating the Warhawk...just for Ghost Bear sake.

Adder, um, Cockpit level UAC/LBX10? and 4 Lasers?

Agree on the Nova, think that will be interesting,

Sadly this, I still feel that the OmniSystem needs some love to help these Lesser Omnis,


Also Ballistic SCR Arms?
2 Ballistic SMN Arm(for Sward & Board?)
TBR Ballistic LArm to match the B-RA of the other Variant?
3Energy WHK Arm / 2Ballistic WHK Arm?
the 8AC2 DWF?

Unlike PGI, you put effort in the PS concepts and personally I think they look nice. Well done.

Thank you,

Personally im looking forward to the WHK and DWF Heros,
i dont usually use Chicken walkers, though i have never been one for the SCR or TBR,

If I'd had my choice I think I would have preferred a couple ballistic torso mounts for the SCR, but in a pinch I suppose the arms will do. I feel pretty much the same about the Summoner.

The Timber Wolf though, considering how cramped the STs are, the arms are about the only place B mounts can hold anything heavy.

The DWF is already pretty well set in the dakka department, but the Warhawk could gain some interesting loadouts with those pods.

And the Nova will gain more missile options. Could be a nice change of pace. I haven't run a Nova in a while but it was a favorite of mine for a stretch.

I never really liked Cockpit level Weapons on lights. always had a bad habit of losing the ST. that'd just me.

I'll put up the other builds for the mechs later. I've been without wifi and I'm just barely getting home.

[C E Dwyer]

If they wanted big baulk sales on these, I think they might have come up with more than a side arm standing item, which you'll get, if you buy them now or next year, there really isn't any point in offering for Mc, unless people plan to grind several thousand in events, as it'll be cheaper on the gift page, and no side arm statue.

Pre order before date X and get Clan hero war horn, gold wreath hanging item, and 10 days Premium, and you'd get more sales faster, there really is no incentive to buy anytime soon with how they are being released, a few omni pods people will have one of..not going to get many buying because of those things..

technically I didn't. I just showed they were for sale and what they looked like.

Unless you wanna say Andi is breaking the CoC by making spam and dupe topic.
