What is this Mastery Pack, precious? Huh, what does it gives us?

On a serious note, will this Pack count toward the Loyalty reward, preferably for IS? I have all the rewards except for the Top Tier IS and therefore, the Ultimate Reward. Although, I'd prefer it if it was next month maybe 'cause I already spent some cash on the Bonus MC sale and upgraded the Origins IIC pack from Hunchie IIC to Highlander IIC.

In game for MC would be my preference but why not make it BOTH ways seeing as how virtually every time Hero or Champion mechs go on sale you do it in both the MC store and the website gift store same time. Also maybe rename them as Value Bundles since there's no longer the rule of 3 for skills.

ALSO... could you make some new mastery packs... same 30 day premium, 3 bays, 3 mech format, and possibly a war horn from each mech chassis's release. There are none for clans as it stands and the IS ones only went up to the thunderbolt and wolverine being added four years ago. At the very least you'll get people spending banked pools of MC on them and then spending time grinding them, and maybe next time MC goes on sale they'll have to buy more.

There are now basic, champion and hero mechs for the following chassis which could be bundled in this fashion...

- Adder
- Arctic Cheetah
- Jenner IIC
- Myst Lynx
- Osiris
- Panther
- Wolfhound
- Assassin
- Bushwacker
- Crab
- Enforcer
- Hunchback IIC
- Nova
- Phoenix Hawk
- Shadow Cat
- Stormcrow
- Uziel
- Ebon Jaguar
- Grasshopper
- Hellbringer
- Mad Dog
- Orion IIC
- Roughneck
- Timber Wolf
- Warhammer
- Dire Wolf
- Highlander IIC
- King Crab
- Kodiak
- Mauler
- Nightstar
- Warhawk
- Zeus

Its a pack of 3 mechs, a basic variant, the champion and the hero for a chassis, 3 mech bays, sometimes a cockpit item (many of the packs included the statues that belonged to each respective chassis but that was from back before they started doing custom themed war horns for each new individual mech pack release), and 30 days premium time... for a bundled price that's 50% lower MC than you'd pay to get that all individually via the in-game store.

They never have before since buying MC (or winning it from events) as well as buying Hero and reinforcement mechs (separately from buying a complete mech pack) via the web store is already covered in the loyalty rewards. As to if its via the IN GAME store, they're not going to reward people again for spending MC in another category that has specific requirements for it already.

However buying individual hero mechs or a pack of hero mechs as part of a drop ship deals CAN count for both the MC purchase reward AND one of the top tier rewards if you buy enough Hero mechs this way via the website store in the same way that buying an collector's pack of a single mech release qualified you for the first loyalty tier level of that tech base of mech. Thus if you'd planned ahead and bought six of the normally $10 hero light inner sphere mechs for half price a week ago when all the heroes were 50% off... you'd be looking at $30 for the top tier loyalty reward.

"or a combination of any 6 Resistance Hero 'Mechs, Hero Add-ons, or Reinforcement Add-ons. (for applicable Inner Sphere Mech packs)."

Right now the cheapest way to do it is to upgrade existing standard packs to collectors, or buy the cheapest levels of collector's packs you don't already own that are 30% off. I have the ultimate marauder II pack already for example... for the top tier IS reward I can spend $14 to upgrade my Hellspawn pack and get another useless 30 days of premium time, an (S) variant of a chassis i rarely play, and get to pick any IS heavy hero or loyalty I don't already own but also having 36k MC already could easily acquire without needing to spend more actual dollars.

Left and now checking out and no surprise even scrolling through posts one after another... nothing... not a damn thing is new. Still selling always that though even selling itself out.

[Punkarelli]

Is the first time the Mastery packs have gone on sale? Got the Jenner pack... the 30days premium alone would be more than the cost of the light packs...

No its happened before. Its just rarer than a mech bay sale. The locust and commando bundles pay off on selling the champion and basic variants if you don't actually need them but want the cbills. The LCT-1E(C) is worth nearly 2 million cbills on its own. If I remember the math right, 2.4 million cbills are 1,600 MC, the locust bundle is 1,592 MC on sale, and the 1V and 1E(C) mechs sold nets you about 2.6 million cbills, leaving you a hero mech, 2 empty bays, and 30 days of premium time.

[Deeber]

If you are a new player here, please be clear that the 'rule of three' (i.e., three variants of a chassis being required to fully master any single variant of that chassis) no longer applies. You can buy any individual variant in the game (any unique mech) and fully master the skills on it without having to buy any other variant. The rule of three has been in place for most of the life of this game, so you might see it referred to in previous posts or other information (not on the game's official website).

All of that said, I really doubt we will ever see more than a 50% discount on the mastery packs/bundles, so if you really like a chassis and are happy buying three variants of it in one fell swoop (with one of the variants being a hero mech variant, with a C-Bill boost on it), then now would be the time to get one of these packs. You'll also get 30 days of active Premium Time ('active' means that it activates and starts counting down immediately the next time you log into the game, after purchase; I think it starts immediately if you buy it in-game, as you're already logged in) ... so just be aware of that.

[Dee Eight]

I'm probably going to use the MC in my third account which I already decided was never going to have money spent on it (I have two other accounts i have spent dollars on) and just see what I can build up strictly via grinding, events, and in-game store sales.

[SnipedYa]

Would really love to see mech bays go on sale soon.
