Oh no, my completely and utterly free mech might not have a super-mega-ultimate-destroyer hardpoints. I got totally hosed! When the game police come to my house and hold a gun to my head forcing me to play it and only it for the rest of the game's lifetime, I'll be so unhappy! Life is so unfair!

well done!

Guys it's free mechs and free bays (not to mention the C-Bills + MC) - pls chill!

Some players are complaining about a point, that pgi does nothing for new players.
I would say that it's one step to help new players - if you disagree you should try qp with stockmech! Play it for a week or so...

I like the free stuff(- and I bought the Warhammer IIC pack, but I now have a chance to use JJs if I want), as I am a relatively new player with only about 30 mechs.

Thanks PGI!

Just keep in mind that this time it would be unwise for PGI to have both gifts be better than what is in the mech packs, since both are still in preorder. Both are unique enough - for some, at least - to be useful additions, even if you get the mech packs. And if you don't want them, fine, just sell them and cheer for the free mech bays and extra cbills.

Thank you

just FYI.
last year's completely and utterly free holiday mechs were the Powerhouse and the Vanguard.
and both are GOOD. like no nonsense good.
so theres no reason why this round of free mechs cant follow suit.
and silly to think that just because its free means it must be worse than the preorder.
(mind you the free Vanguard arrived same time as the preorder too.)

the whole point is playability, uniqueness, and flavour.
the JJs add flavour true, but if you read my original post carefully you'll see that it falls short of the other 2.
no mech should arrive DOA. thats just sloppy.

will wait for quirks and see. but not hopeful.

Plz make it clan version of WHR Black Widow with four ballistics in side torsos

It's not a question of that version being made, but whether it really existed.

The hard points are different from the ones you get with the packages.

[Friesser]

Thank you for offering these free mechs. As a free player, I've been wanting a hero assault for a long time. Assault is my favorite weight class. I hope I can turn at least one of these into a money maker. Thank you.

yep... specially as Nat never used a Whammer IIc, just her Custom Dire Wolf "Widowmaker" upon her return to the clans. Well, that and the Dire Wolf W for her second Trial of Position, if i recall correctly, which is rather fitting, given it's the Wolf's Dragoons variant.

Oh I like a free horse, but if that horse is underweight and has a worm problem I'm going to roast you for giving me a horse that has a worm and weight problem.

You could solve all your problems by not playing on the 27th . But then you would have nothing to moan and nag about .

Well that sounds incredibly counterproductive. I'm going to take my free mech, and I'm going to continue printing memes every time PGI does something weird.

Geez... All these complainers... *facedesk*


Hey there, Mr. Matt Newman... These nuts are giving me a headache!!! Can we get an Addition to what's on the JumpJet-enabled WHM-IIC Holiday Hero of '1 Ballistic' to the Left Torso, to go with the '1 Energy' that's currently there? It would definitely add to the Build Diversity.

Another note for our rather friendly Mr. Matt Newman ---

Thank you for doing a Pre-Announcement on this Event with a considerable 3+ Weeks of time between now and then. It really is appreciated, and I hope you'll be able to do this with many Future Events, even if those only get a 7-Day Pre-Announcement Period at most for them and don't say much in advance about Rewards.

Hey, can we get Clan PPC's that actually do the 15 damage from the tabletop please, without increasing the already horrendous heat cost. The Clans are 200 years advanced in development after all. Yah know, since we're getting new presents for X-mas and all. It can come on one of the holiday mechs.

So, having already pre-ordered the collector's pack for the WHM-IIC, with this give-away, and now with the new variant that's been announced, that's 6 of these mechs for me. I had zero reason to complain before (and never did), but I mot certainly cannot find fault with the dead now.

How are exile nomad tribes more advanced than a galaxy of planets full of established infrastructure ?

Lore...

The Clans limited their destruction to only military things, keeping damage down to a minimum and leaving scientists to "do their thing" (under guidance from the warrior castes for what projects those will be, until their advancement lines started to stagnate far after the current timeline).

Meanwhile, IS forces bombarded themselves, killed the knowledgeable on how things are build, and destroyed factories and infrastructure (and general know-how) till they don't even know how much of their stuff works, forget how to remake it (yet). They had to sign a truce to no longer destroy factories and other rare technologies, or lose it all together.

So... there are reasons Clans are suppose to be "more advanced". However, as this game is pure PvP, Clans instead are trying to just be "different" for balance sake, which is fine with me.


AKA: Clans didn't lose technology and instead refined it while in exile, taking many scientists with them. IS meanwhile still have large manufacturing capabilities over the Clans, but lost much in the way of more advanced technologies. I mean, it's hard to build a giant space ripping engine to "teleport" from system to system, when you've killed everyone who knows anything about it and have to now rely on automated factories to continue production (which you've just blown up many of them too, by the way)...

What are you calling "dead" here? It makes no sense to me.
