[Unconstructive Waste of Time]

The hope of a reward for the prereleasers...

Can someone tell me the advantage of buying the Solaris 7 pre-order before release?

This pack dont any early reward. IMHO better to wait Steam release of this pack and buy it. For example, look for price of Light pack in Steam(same as Solaris pack) and find u country for check safe u money or not.

So from the FAQs...

I see this may remain indefinitely at this price.
The statement was "It was made with extreme value in mind."
In other words: 'This is a must buy for any new player'. Good way to get at least a little bit out of the free players.

Strange things noticed. I sent a report to see if they could be checked.

One: It says you can sell them. The game doesn't normally allow you to sell 30% cbill bonus mechs... So did something change or is it errorneous?

Two: It follows up that you wouldn't be able to reacquire them until they released for MC or cbills... after a bullet point earlier points out that they will never be available for cbills. (And for that matter, why would you buy them for MC? Think the option would only exist if you wanted more than one... but that price difference would be extreme as the assault hero mechs would easily be over 25 dollars each in terms of MC....)

It lets you sell hero mechs (which these are) all the time. It's usually not a great idea depending on what you spent to get them, but it's doable.

Since... when? I remember back in 2015 we couldn't. Never really tried since, but... yeah. And the big thing about no selling of Special mechs like the NCIX Centurion, Loyalty mechs and collector edition mechs. (Not that anyone would really want to or benefit from such a silly thing)...

Or is it just the special (non-heroes) that you can sell? (Still not sure why they would allow it... So many "I accidentally sold this" complaints is what I'd fear if I were a support specialist.)

At least since June when I got the K9, and probably a good bit longer than that. If you've never had cause to go to your inventory screen it should show hero mechs listed with sell prices.

The statement, "It was made with extreme value in mind."
The fact is free financing with minimum effort for Solaris 7.

None of the previous hero mech only packs have had early-adopter bonuses, so they're not about to start doing them now

[Jaspbo1]

I'm assuming this pack is a limited time deal? If so then I guess the price and the decals and war horns are the "Early adopter thing".

Not a bad deal, but the problem is that some of the 'mechs are little more than altered stock variants. The value is mostly there for newer players who want some new toys without the grind and for a good deal, or people who've got cash to burn and want a bit of a variety.

I like the Banshee though, Banshee's pretty cool.

Edit, It's here to stay!

Q: Has a sale end date been announced?
The Solaris 7 should be available for purchase indefinitely, the Solaris 7 pack does not have an Early Adopter Reward.

Just wondering how long will this deal be available?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Have you read the post right above yours?

Spoiler

It contains an official answer and a link to the FAQ

Just wondering when people will READ a thread before posting already answered questions....

[Mumuharra]

You can’t always read the whole post before answering. At least I don’t have the time. So be kind if there are double posts.

After thinking deeply about this pack I decided against it and ordered 3 Blood Asp instead.
With about 100 mechs in my stable there is nothing in this pack what is worth buying for me.
It’s like mentioned many times.
The mechs are crap for every one beeing long time in this game.
But quite a good deal for newbies and F2Per.

I hope Solaris is better than Faction Play.
Then MWO will have a future (propably).

Have fun.

If PGI answers these questions correctly, they will probably double the number of sales ...

Every image of the Kraken has glowing eyes (and nose). Will they glow in game? Will we be able to toggle them on and off?

hm. really like the urbie. the mad-dog looks good, hardpoint-wise. really not impressed with the rest, sorry. pls consider spicing them up*, then I'll consider buying them *and with that I mean no powercreep - but pls offer something different. I see no point in having basically a stock-loadout atlas with a nice paintjob.. as suggested elsewhere, ballistic left&right would be nice. a headlaser(eye!) would be awesome. the reverse-ember is kinda boring; the griffin.. eh.. and so on. all nice mechs to look at, but nothing says "play this, and it's gonna be the same old chassis but in a new and interesting way".

You're forgetting the 30% c-bill bonus...

Well, it would be awesome. And the cockpit light button would actually make sense, for once or perhaps just bind it to the same function as the K9s signal lights, or missile bay doors even...

PGI - DOOO EEEET!!!

[Pain G0D]

It's a good deal but none of these hero mechs are my favorite chassis or even chassis I relate to .

I will probably go for a fafnir mech pack in April .

[Fryepod]

I haven't played since earlier this year. I'm just wondering if anyone could direct me to the restricted mechs/build list we are using, or have that not released this info.

I've been dying for this game mode literally since early 2013, the spark is almost gone.

As far as we know, all mechs will be allowed in Solaris - but they will be split up into divisions, with each variant ranked separately. If a variant overperforms, it will eventually be moved to a higher division. If it underperforms, it will eventually be moved to a lower division.
