Sunday is next week! clearly confirmed.


Also, i see they added Wave 3 mechs to this sale. A bit better of a deal, but it's still "use 4 and sell the rest" which makes the deal... not very good.

Wave 3 is added ... there is no Gargoyle-Prime? Not that I care for clan mechs, but this is odd.

4 chassis per category is insufficient for a 10pack. Rule of three is gone plus all these are omni. Should include all types available for cbills

Inner Sphere omnis! When was that confirmed? I think I missed that.

That said, I'm wondering if the delay has anything to do with the results of their legal battle with HG... as in, they've decided to put their planned queue of mech releases on hold to announce a new "classic" Battletech design (i.e. one of the unreleased unseen).

I love the Sunder - it was one of my favourite mechs from MW4. But so was the Longbow. Hmm... tough call.

My only complaint is that I can't buy multiples of the same variant. I know, they're Onmimechs...but for some I want a particular CT over the other ones available and being able to purchase more than one would be great.

The only "unseen" IS heavy missing from the list would be the crusader. Lots of official variants, even a hero.
OK, Ostroc/Ostsol ... but my guess would be the Crusader.

hmm maybe a Marik signature mech - Albatross / Grand Titan or maybe Marauder 2 (not something as underwhelming as Osiris or Nightstar)

Good sale, but I will not spend any more money on Clan Mechs until I see whether the proposed nerfs go through or not. If Clan lasers are nerfed to do the same damage as IS lasers, then the Mechs you are selling are not Clan Mechs anymore, they just look like Clan Mechs.

Peddling a bunch of clan mechs in a "Dropship sale" and depicting an IS-dropship.
Sure that's not a big issue but the constant accumulation of obvious errors shows me that they don't realy care much for the stuff they are making money with.

PGI why not pick 10 Mechs from any class(max 4 for each class) for $30 or $35?

BAD promo, as there are only 4 or 5 of each mech per class...

Change it to 10 MECHS, as 3xLight, 3xMedium, 2xHeavy, 2xAssault!!

And average price, of course... say US$30 for 10 mechs of all classes"

Most people doesn't like to have many of same chassis, even worse for Clan Omnimechs!!

Lights hmmm nothing here to make a 10 pack.
Mediums hmmm nothing here to make a 10 pack.
Heavies hmmm possibly some here to make a 10 pack but a couple are only filler.
Assaults hmmm nothing here to make a 10 pack.
Today's update plans to nerf clan mechs.
Glad I didn't spend that $35.
PGI your loss.

yeah this is not a great deal at all. Most Omni Mechs are a waste of time any more. No space for weapons and the fact that they get capped on speed because of everything in the center torso being locked... not worth it. And who is really going to buy 10 mechs out of these when you only have 3 classes to pick from? You could have at least given some base Second line battle mechs and or IIC mechs in there as well.

Puts clan mechs on sale while announcing PTS nerfing all clan mechs. Brilliant move.

You, uh... Do know the Overlord-C is a thing, right?

Even if they used the older art as a blueprint, using an Overlord as a stand-in for an Overlord C-and let's face it, the 3025 Overlord drawing and the Overlord C drawings on Sarna are both incredibly similar-it's hardly the most lore-breaking thing they've done.

Hell, PGI's not even the worst on the subject, it's just that people are too dense to remember that Mechassault was a thing and that Mechwarrior and MechCommander both took some rather extreme liberties.

If these packs were cheaper and only 3-4 mechs I'd buy them. On the off side if I was crazy enough to get another mech of the same chassis... if clan I'd prefer the same CT. Even if this was IS I only do one mech per type. Pointless to have so many of the same mech now even more with the save and load function finally added
