If you want an answer today, you best - only - bet is to Tweet Russ a storm.

He does tend to take note when multiple customers politely prompt him on Twitter.

Copy your Tweet to Alex for good measure.

I don't tweet to Russ anymore.

If they can't come through with naming the mechs themselves, the least they could do is post the requirements for this year.

Twitter? You mean that cancerous ****? Nah I'll pass, besides if we spam him he'll just block us all and shitpost some more nonsense about mw5

Also did anyone notice the "lack of customization" noted by pc gamer, why does that smell like paint only>stock builds?

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, my dude.

And I recall it being stated a while back that paint'll be the primary customization. You likely won't have MWO levels of "Hard" (read: Weapons) customization, and I remember it being outright stated a while ago (Don't remember source) that each mech will have preset loadout selections as opposed to full customization.

MWO Death Blossom?

With a few rocket launchers combined with the energy hardpoints, this could become a reality, similar to the one from the old Urbie videos.

I honestly think they are intentionally doing it so they can invalidate previous mech packs for the top tier rewards.

This way only the later ones would be valid, honestly I wouldn't put it past PGI at this point.

See: still not buying a 40+$ addon that goes against everything mechs stand for :3 pgi has enough of my money as is, I just smell burning dumpsters already, and would rather spend that money on something like tt/food/anything I can actually see results on, if pc gamer thinks it's gonna be a dumpsterfire:see the steering wheel "easteregg" and reading no storyline and random map generation, I'll pass, y'all have fun with your dlc :3

Not like I was asking you to buy something, doc. I'm not that much of a bleeding heart, and it's not even what I was responding to in your post. It was the part about how Whatshisface will get all mad and ban you.

Go have fun with that "I'm special because I didn't buy anything" medal. Because... I really don't care about your personal opinion on MW5 is like, and I imagine you don't care about my opinions either.

Reee, thank you for the medal, but I apparently misread your response, redacted, with my apologies.

I just Tweeted Russ a reminder. If you want him to notice and take action, you could retweet my tweet @russ_bullock.

(If you "hate Twitter", "don't think you should have to", "blah blah blah blah", don't feel the need to comment further. I am about achieving desired outcomes, not getting into philosophical debates about the merits of social media platforms or PGI's customer engagement strategy.)

Sorry but that is just stupid. The previous loyalty mechs have always included purchases within a certain timeframe (date of last loyalty injection to the latest). They have never deviated from this nor were there any previous actions whatsoever that would suggest they would do this.

You are literally just hating just for the sake of hating.

That would be.. strange. Are you saying they're making a 'dead space' between last years cut off and this years start, where no mechs purchased in that time frame count? I really doubt that's the case.

I mean, I think the 'Loyalty' mechs are better described as a hostage program, but they at least follow rules. What you're proposing seems unlikely.

I have gotten the feeling something is up personnel-wise that is effecting game-related announcements.

I mean anyone else notice the Javelin became available for c-bills this month and we got no notice of this on the website???? Usually PGI seems very on top of those kind of announcements and puts out a post about them.

Exactly...i mean how do you not post that stuff?!?! It's actually unlike PGI to not post this kind of thing, so either they don't know this stuff is available for c-bills or MC....or they just didn't post an announcement. Which made me wonder "what's up??"

There's been some articles and interviews and the like recently about MW5. Perhaps they're busy pimping the new game?

Maybe the homepage guy is sick/fired/on parental leave/abducted by aliens. Who knows? It's a company after all so there could be lots of reasons why things don't happen the way they are supposed to happen.
