[A Really Old Clan Dude]

Has anyone heard when a new loyalty Program Year 4 will come out, Year 3 finished in October 2016

[Moonlight Grimoire]

We generally don't hear about it until like late summer I believe? Likely same as last years, new variants with new tech from civil war update will be given out. No idea what chassis will be picked, we never know until closer.

[Ghostrider0067]

I suspect it won't be announced until somewhere close to the same time as last year.

[Zergling]

Don't expect to hear about it for a few more months yet.

[Bud Crue]

It will be a while.

My 2 cents: The quality of the IS mechs "given" away for "loyalty" (loyalty...trying really hard not to trigger here) program this last year was part of my calculation when deciding not to budget any spending on PGI this year. All of the mechs, were arguably unique, but still just...well...lame. From the fragility of the SRM Black Jack, to the Phract with MASC that still manages to feel slow, to the ECM stalker who trades 2 M hardpoints to be slow...but sneaky!...none of them gave me sufficient warm and fuzzy feelings toward them or the game to encourage me to spend this year to get them again. At least the Clanners got the Summoner and look what happened to that.

So year 4 loyalty mechs? Meh

(Unless one is a Quickdraw that is unique...I'm always a sucker for them ).

The phract can turn swift even with a 280STD and bj can just be fun to dink in. They aren't too bad once you have a build, and i have a working, but non masc loyalty wolverine even. The zues will have to wait until IS UAC 10 to be fully working though... Triple mrm stinkfist might be fun too :3
Don't know about the clan units or the stalker, just couldn't work up enough interest in a (s) archer... Only archer I don't want to mess with yet...

Loyalty Hellbringer was totally worth it.

[Spheroid]

I predict the Wolverine-7M and the Warhawk-F

[ScrapIron Prime]

Yup, fifth post in before someone complains that the free stuff wasn't high enough quality free stuff. I love this community.

[Battlemaster56]

I know their won't be anything that grab my attention right away with the loyalty program other than camo, but I just want a new Timberwolf pods mostly the B to have a left arm ballastic that isn't paywalled, if not then I'll take the E and H pods cuz new tech.

[Trenchbird]

Personally, I had a few loyalty mech hopes for this year.

IS side, I would've loved the;
Awesome AWS-9Q (4X PPC, Guardian ECM)

Thunderbolt TDR-9NAIS (XL, ECM, RAC5, SSRM6, 3XERML, TCOMP) or Dragon DRG-7K (Actually a Grand Dragon variant. MRM10, XL, MASC, 3X ERML, ERPPC. Has C3S in TBT, but that could be replaced with a DHS or something.)


Kintaro KTO-K (Jump Jets, 3X ERMLs, 1X LRM-15, 2X SSRM6s) or Hunchback HBK-5S (Jump Jets, LB20X, 2X MPL, 1X SPL)

Commando COM-7X (Apocryphal MW2:Mercs variant. 3X ML, 1X SRM6.) or Commando COM-7S (Artemis IV, LFE, 2X ERML, 2X SSRM2, SRM-4)

As for Clanner stuff... I'd like to see new variants for the original IIC Mechs. Even if some have to be made up-except for the HBK-IIC, which has a Heavy Laser variant as well as an ATM variant.

Well, I personally wouldn't mind seeing the Commando 7B, but It's very unlikely to come becuase 1) its a Commando with JJs and 2) it uses a small cockpit. There is also the much requested DRG-5K, aka the Grand Dragon(Before the Lore-hounds begin jumping down my throat, yes, I'm aware that many consider them to be different mechs. But if I ripped the AC20 out of an Atlas, replaced it with a pair of PPCs, and called it the "Grand Atlas", would that too be a different mech? No. It would just be an energy vomit Atlas with a slightly different name. Same deal here. The Grand Dragon is nothing more than an energy vomit variant of the standard Dragon).

Loyalty Quadrupeds for everyone!
