Hi!

I cannot preorder due to a Xsolla Error (2205). Can anyone help with that?

Edit: Works now.

I had an issue with Xolla (sp?) in which it would not accept my CC verification amount that was temporarily added to my account.
After several minutes of trying different "fixes" i clicked the "live chat" button on thier support page (Xollas support) and was immediately connected with a CSR that fixed the issue within a minute or two.

The bottom line: reach out to Xolla if you're having issues with ordering MW5.

i dont use steam either...they sent me a code once i purchased MW5 that i entered in the "redeem" section of this site. I never saw any notice indicating Steam was required to play MW5...

- Early Access to MW5 Mod Maker Section

So what does that actually mean? Access to Mod tools or just a mod section in a forum?

[MechaBattler]

Perhaps they're trying to cash in on as many non-steam sales as possible since Steam takes a cut. It doesn't even have a store page on steam yet. So either we'll be getting a standalone client for it, it'll use the existing MWO client, or they'll give us Steam keys when it does go up on Steam.

Gonna pre- order. Beta and discord is propably a chance to influence MW5 M in the correct direction, like... umm not having the mechs feel like frigging big body suits!

I really worry the WEIGHTY stomp, stomp feel will be lost, especially with the bigger mechs. I dont want the pitiful immersion MWO plays in, infecting MW5 mercs. As someone else said, when we pilot most if not all mechs in MWO, the fell kinda... "floaty" From the footage given. The Thunderbolt Russ pilots seems to "light" in its movements compared to say the Shadow Hawk moving around in the first few clips we had of MW5m. Slower speed/ pace should at least give you the immersion of piloting a giant machine, even a light/ medium mech.
Yes you are in a cockpit and sure theres some gyros gizmos stabilizing the rumbling and such ( in lore, in-game). But the mechs strides and stomp ( also sounds ) need to be IMPACTFUL. Not feather dynamics. What we have in MWO looks and feels like a pea shooter equalent of a grenade launcher. We need heavy metal not speed metal "_"

i hope we still get to see the development of MWO or maybe port MWO into the MW5 engine? MW5 Online?
still hoping to see many mechs in mwo

argus, crusader (...)

This ^

A port of all MWO content to the MW5 engine is a must to keep the game alive for several more years.

so if i buy the standard pack. Do i get 30 days premium time + 30 Days of premium time for the marauder2 preorder? or is this the same 30 days ?

You will get all the goodies from the MW5 Preorder PLUS all the Goodies from the Marauder II Preorder.

Thies Thread is TLDR but theres a mistake on the Pre Order Page.

Bi Monthy but it ( I guess at least) Bi Monthly with an L, except it is Bi Monthy as a name, than everythings fine.

[Grimm Shado]

I preordered. I almost never pre-order; I'd rather wait and see what reviewers and players report. I'm happy enough with what I've seen in preview/demo videos, and I love the IP so much, I'm willing to risk $50 on maybe feeling meh about the final product.

I preordered HBS' Battletech too, didn't finish the story from combo of quality of life problems in game and busy in personal life, but I'm still glad I bought it.

[Armored Yokai]

EVERYONE PRE-ORDER IT!






If there's any issue with gameplay we can add it ourselves (I know the community shouldn't be required to add things themselves, BUT if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!)

[Tordin]

Umm.. I registered on that site with the same email and password as here... Im screwed? Theres no option to change the password either.. Or do I read into the "separate accounts" statement too much?

EDIT: silly me. Like to others accidently using same password as with their MWO account... well obvious solution to changing to a different one is to click "forgot password" and make a new one *facepalm*

5.) What does the access to MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Mod Maker Discord Chat entail?

• The Mod Maker Discord Chat is an area for Community Edition owners to discuss and plan mods for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, giving modding enthusiasts the opportunity to collaborate with each other in their efforts to craft awesome mods and build a dedicated modding community.

The FAQ implies that there would be tools but only references a "Discord MoD Maker Channel" with the assumption that tools will be present. Will there be tools by the Sept Release?

This is literally the very first time I've heard anything other than complete love for steam. I've heard MANY times the exact opposite; complaints about a game NOT being on steam and making everything inconvenient because of it, lol

When I want to by a MW5 preorder package I am prompted to login.
I assume I have to create a new MW5 account right? Since my MWO login is not accepted or is this an error?
Can anyone confirm? Couldn't find information in the FAQ.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem...... and i dont believe we create a new account if we already have a MWO acccount... otherwise how would we get the rewards in the mwo game for the preorder???

So Glad you asked, the answer to your question is this.

First make a new account for MW5, this is not your mwo account, its different. Use the same email for convenience.

Now buy your preorder. Whilst logged into me5 website with your new mw5 account after paying go to "profile"

Listed in the profile will be a section for your mwo bonuses, expand that by clicking on it.

There is a code.

Then log in to your MWO account, make sure its the one you want to put the bonuses on. i.e. don't be accidentally logged into your smurfy account unless thats the one you want to boost.

Go to redeem, type in or paste the code from the mw5 profile page. Then hit redeem and hey presto, you have your mwo stuff.

Once redeemed you will become ineligible for a refund i believe, but the MC, premium time etc is dropped in straight away.

Thanks

Laser

I wonder if you can upgrade your MAD II pack that comes with the pre-order.

For me it would be perfect if I could buy the standard MW5 pre-order and upgrade the MAD II standard pre-order with a reinforcement pack add-on once the MAD II pre-order page went live.

[Reno Blade]

Very nice!

I would love to have the Marauder2 (and Marauder) in MW5 (maybe as starter mech, or damaged mech in the hangar).
As for MWO, i already have the Nightstars...

One month Closed Beta sounds too short >.<

I'm not sure I need more MC in MWO, as I have nearly everything (happens if you buy the mechpacks with real € ) and still tons of MC and GXP/GSP. Just bit short on CB from not playing enough games...

I will think about it... (and pray it is as good as we all hope).

[Souldrink3r]

It doesn't work for me the pre-roder, xsolla its rejecting paypal and visa credit card, Im from Argentina. I try the chat system and its the same.

Is the enemy AI going to be moddable? Because that's going to be one of the big problems with MW5.

Usually games have modifiable AI and I'm not sure 100%, but according to rumors the A.I is being worked on by Unreal devs

[Mechteric]

I finally got my preorder through, not sure if it was just because i was using google pay before, but going direct with the card worked this time.
