Will this be the dawn of the era? Should PGI do these in 4 packs (though that probably means Clans get little)

Wave 1
Light - Raptor
Medium - Strider
Heavy - Avatar
Assault - Sunder

Wave 2
Light - Arctic Fox
Medium - Men Shen
Heavy - Blackhawk KU
Assault - Hauptmann

Bonus for owning all of both?
Assault - Templar

That is just my wish list, spread the good into with the rather meh (that should be there regardless, just give them good quirks though)

One would certainly hope. It's about time the Inner Sphere got some omnimechs, even if there are some duds in there.

Come on, PGI, give the people what they want - IS Omnimechs! Gimme a Sunder! Give Yeonne a Raptor! But mostly give me a Sunder!

[Mole]

You give me an Owens, Strider, Avatar, and Sunder. I've been told they are going to suck for so long due to locked XL and SHS that I wish to challenge myself by making them work.

Yeah! Like an intriguing and interesting CW experience... and some semblance of chassis to chassis balance!
Give the people what they want indeed!!

Oh.
You guys are talking about wanting more mech packs.
Ah.
Yes.
“Content”.
So, sorry. I’ll just be on my way.

CW's crap and honestly, I think it's probably unsalvageable. I've seen the proposals people have made, and oh boy, they range from crappy to so restricting/intricate that it will finally kill it for sure, so complicated that even CW events wont get people to touch it.

I can complain about more than one thing. We got plenty of balance and gameplay fix threads rolling around, can we not talk about desired chassis too?

[Juodas Varnas]

If we're looking for subpar mechs to add, i'd rather add my Quads than IS omnis

[Valdarion Silarius]

Give me the IIC reinforcements wave 2 pack as well please (if we ever got mech packs again for some reason).


Light - Locust IIC 25 tons

Medium - Shadowhawk IIC 45 tons

Heavy - Rifleman IIC 65 tons

Assault - Warhammer IIC 80 tons


This pack would probably be the only pack that I would considering shelling out bucks for. After that I could care less what mechs are released afterwards.

But on topic, I would love to have me a Owens because I'll find some stupid reason to drop in them with a fun build attached.

Also I'll take the Perseus, Orion That acts like a Night Gyr w/o JJ's.

Only IS omni quad i'm aware of is the Sarath and it's from 3100s

[xVLFBERHxT]

Please make the Templer not an bonus mech...

Make an Deus Vult Pack

Light:

Medium:

Heavy: Crusader

Assault: Templer

Need some help with the rest of the pack

[FantasticMrDark]

I'd rather have a "All things Rifleman" wave with the Rifleman II, Rifleman IIC, Rifleman III, and a bonus JM7.

I could live with that as well.

Ahh, c'mon!
You know people can want multiple things at the same time? Who said that a mech pack satisfies all other demands? Since mechpacks are a constant which will come regularly for sure to finance the game why not shout some whishes out in addition to gameplay improvements?

And yes, new mechs which allow new interesting builds are indeed content although everyone values the quality differently of cause. Personally there are mechs i want more than some 'real' content like new maps.

[Jay Leon Hart]

I flip-flop over where to put the Black Hawk-KU & Avatar, Templar & Sunder, or the 2 extra Mediums, but how about...

Wave 1 (The Good)
Raptor
Men Shen
Black Hawk-KU
Templar
*Blackjack-O (Pre-order bonus)

Wave 2 (The Ugly)
Arctic Fox
Battle Cobra
Avatar
Sunder
*Firestarter-O (Pre-order bonus)

Wave 3 (The Bad)
Owens
Strider
Perseus
Hauptmann

[Y E O N N E]

Yes pls.

Want $70 from me, PGI? Raptor ultimate package. Want more than that? Blackhawk-KU, BJ-O, Men Shen, Avatar, and Sunder.

Of course. Just a little joke.

But do consider this, if just in passing:
We know PGI loves data, but that they rarely delve past what the surface of their data shows them.
We know PGI rarely actually engages in the forums and are at best simply aware of the basic discussions.
Threads like this get far more hits and looks than those talking about better/more maps, fixing problems, addressing balance or just about any other issue/want in the game.
PGI undoubtedly sees the data from their forums showing that threads talking about wanting new mechs are THEE most looked at and responded to threads.

What do they do with that? What have they always done with that historically?
A new mech or more every month and everything else is on the back burner because all they see is that in their forums the number 1 thing that folks care to talk about are new mechs and hoped for mech.

People want mechs, that’s why the game exists, I get that, but I fear that what PGI sees from these sorts of threads is that this is really what people want the most and to hell with everything else. After all if people really wanted something else wouldn’t they talk about it on the forums at least as much as they talk about mechs that aren’t yet even in the game? This is after all PGI we are talking about.

Sorry for the derail. My comment really was intended just a joke.
