Well it's good to know at least. But it makes for one less thing to talk about on the forums.

At least you guys can't screw up at Mechcon any worse than Blizzard did at Blizzcon. Yeesh, that was a travesty. I swear if you announce MW5 for mobile... >: (


You haf fone ?!

They've said it before, and come MechCon, they'll say it again: they're contractually forbidden from depicting anything licensed to the original "Battletech" franchise anywhere in the real-world (anywhere other than online). Because of that, they HAVE to create original designs in order to print them on bilboards and t-shirts at MechCon. Therefore, as long as there is MechCon, there will be PGI original 'mechs to buy, annually.

There are mechs that I want but there are mechs the game still kinda needs. And the needed ones are more important. There are still a few holes within the Clan mech ranks. Need a fast preferably non-omni 50 tonner (the Crimson Langur might be good...though it's an omni). Another 95 tonner (though I think the only viable option is the Turkina which is really slow). The Thresher would have been a better option than the Hellfire for a non-omni 60 tonner I think. Another 100 tonner (I'd LOVE the Stone Rhino but I don't think that's going to happen. So maybe the Bane). The Inner Sphere I'd day say is pretty much covered. Maybe another 90 tonner besides the Highlander. And for those clamoring for IS omni-mechs...didn't PGI state that that won't happen a few years ago? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Q: What can you tell us about the next Mech? Is it PGI original?

A: Attend Mech_Con or Tune into Piranha Games Twitch Channel on Dec 1st and 2nd to find out!


Oooooor I'll wait for it to get plastered all over the front page of MWO.

That is new. No MechPak.



Maybe it'll give them time to properly debug the game before the usual patch & hotfix....

Or perhaps they could de-nerf the Omnimech by rationalizing the locked slots instead of using them to take away player options.

Seeing the Q&A hint about PGI Original mech... C337 is probably right.
Doesn't matter since I didn't buy the first two "original" mechs because reasons.
But I'll continue getting the lore mechs packs, while hoping for more maps and any of the many needed UI improvements.

Uh, no. The HAGs on Clan side would be barely if ever balanceable.
You don't want to face IS units sporting TSEMP cannons.

Others could work though.

of course you want HAGs, they're the most stupidly broken weapon in battletech, which is precisely why PGI cut off just BEFORE they show up.

don't think you realize just how much the community at large HATES what the Jihad did.

Hope they will be doing away with mech packs all together and introduce a proper model now that there is no longer the rule of three for leveling.
Urbie IIC for shits and giggles,
More new maps, that don't rek half the player base's pc's.
IS Omni, this is really the only thing that will keep me interested for more than another 6-9 months. I am sure I am not alone in this.

Don't give a damn about maps or mechs, this game has turned into more of a chore than anything enjoyable.

I want MW5 and I want it done right. It's been too long since I've played a good MechWarrior campaign and I hope you're giving this the attention and care it deserves.

Too bad cause a plush Flea would be nice as a gift to the attendees kids too or something. Gotta admit that mech is cute.
