No, you could make a decision at at a tier between Clan / IS and if you would like to continue with the path chosen before:

Here an example of possible Tiers:
Tier 1 - $7 - Light IS /Clan Mech
Tier 2:- $22 - Medium IS /Can Mech
Tier 3 - $52 - Depending on selection at Tier 2: Heavy Mech from side (Clan /IS) selected at Tier 2 OR Medium Mech from other side
Tier 4 - $67 - Depending von selection at Tier 3: Either Medium from other side OR a Heavy IS /Clan Mech
Tier 5 - $97 - Heay Mech from remaining side
Tier 6 - $102 - Assault Clan/IS Mech

Nice idea, but wouldn't make that the distinct Clan and IS rewards impossible?

There's nothing that prohibits tracking the techbase on which the money was spent (if any).

I´m speechless.
To see that people really pay money to get the "rewards".
While the "reward" is an old mech that can be bought ingame for free.
I bought 10 hero or champion mechs this year, with the MC i got from the events.

I´m beginning to understand the lack of effort from PGI for MWO, because they don´t need to do anything new and still get enough money.

I don't understand the posts like this one. The point of this is not PGI going for additional money, it is PGI giving those of us that already spent money some extra goodies to show they appreciate their player base. I don't know any other game that does that. Additionally, I don't know if maybe people just didn't notice that development on MWO was mostly halted for however long so they could get MW5 out before their license expired, but there IS a reason there is nothing new in the rewards, and it is not laziness.

Salt isn't constructive, try something different? They're actually making an effort to listen these days.

On topic, very happy about this. Finally going to get my hands on a Pirates Bane

So, I just read something as I went through this, are the mech rewards available now?? I thought we get everything on November 24th. I will have to select my mechs.

So, do you get those rewards if you didn't spend anything at all? Well you get one reward for 100 games. Other than that, the rest is about what you paid for the game. That shows appreciation to the MONEY that was given to them, but the rest of the player base can eat dust. And funnily enough, the rewards aren't even that good, they are just some select exclusive mechs.

What we are criticizing is the fact that there isn't any good reason to give them money, yet they reward those that gave money, as if encouraging us to do the same. And the rewards themselves aren't good which makes it worse -- it's like they are expecting us to shell out money for no work done.

I wouldn't count that, especially when they shafted the backers that paid for Steam Keys.

Actually, they ARE listening, the problem is the dumb decisions they do despite listening.

As a newly returning player, qualified for the Ultimate Reward many times over for this year.
But you can only get one (1) Ultimate Reward mech!

Oh well...

Question. Why "Ultimate" packs do not count as "Collector" given that it is "Collector" + alpha? Not a complaint (as I may have made the wrong assumption), just a desire for clarification. Thanks.

As far as I know, they do. The Mad II Ultimate did for me, so did Cyclops and Linebacker Ultimate this year.

I'm 3 out of 4 on both the Resistance 2 and Clan Wave 3 packs (bought in 2018), if I upgrade to the Mauler and Gladiator level (4 of 4) would that qualify me for the Top Tier rewards for IS and Clan, and hence the Ultimate reward?

Basically, if I upgrade a "top-tier" collection fully now even though the original purchase date was a few years ago, does it qualify for the top-tier loyalty rewards?

Unless they changed something from when I did something similar with R2, it should work the way you describe. In my experience it only matters that the last upgrade was purchased during the specified period.

[Lance McRaven]

I don't mind spending money, when I am playing something I enjoy. I have the Battletech novels, and numerous Battletech/Mechwarrior games. I started with tabletop, and still have upwards of 3 battalions of pewter mechs, that were part of playing. I even bought the different scenarios, so I could add to the tabletop experience. Rock on, PGI! Kudos, Darren and Matt!! Let's keep MWO alive!!!

[w0qj]

It's best interpreted as "Collector Pack or above".
ie: Collector Pack
ie: Ultimate Pack (within which contains Collector Pack)

To qualify for Ultimate Reward for this year, I've bought multiples of "Ultimate Pack", and I did not buy any "Collector Pack".
So Ultimate Pack counts as Collector Pack in this year's Loyalty rewards programme.

RESISTANCE packge was upgraded from FIRE pack to WRATH pack. 10 hours have passed since I bought it,
still cannot receive the inner sphere reward. Am I doing something wrong?

edit : now i can get reward!

Think you will have to contact MWO sales support since no "automatic" upgrade benefits bestowed upon your account.

I remember there used to be a time (and MWO webpage) for registering/applying for manual upgrade from a-la-carte to Masakari [top-tier] Collection, to get the ultimate benefits. It was handed manually by MWO staff, on a case-by-case basis.

[Skitsoe]

can you buy the mechs in store seperatly and qualify for complete collection reward ? i have marauder II AL and 4L ,so can I buy other 4 mechs to qualify ??? with c-bills .

[w0qj]

Unfortunately you must buy mechs as MWO define it to qualify for the Loyalty Rewards.
The (very) detailed instructions are found in below URL link:
http://mwomercs.com/...rewards-program

A) To qualify for IS Top Tier Award:
"...a combination of any 6 Resistance Hero 'Mechs, Hero Add-ons, or Reinforcement Add-ons. (for applicable Inner Sphere Mech packs)."

B ) To qualify for Clan Top Tier Award:
"...a combination of any 6 Wave 1, Wave 2, IIC Clan Hero 'Mechs, Hero Add-ons, or Reinforcement Add-ons. (for applicable Clan Mech packs)."

C) There are other lower Tiers that are easier to qualify for as well;
but you must buy Mechs & Premium_Packages with real world cash (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!).

Good luck!

No. The rewards program only applies to purchases made with cash in the webstore. You could spend a billion C-bills and it would not qualify you for anything.

Ok so I just realized something kinda stupid...

We're able to redeem our mechs right away- I hadn't noticed that at first and was assuming everything was injected on the 24th. So I gladly redeemed and was looking forward to the GSP to then level these new mechs up, seeing as leveling a mech in T1 is incredibly painful for anyone involved.

Lo and behold, we don't get the GSP until the 24th...for the mechs we already have. Uh, why? Why does everything with PGI have to be almost, can't ever just actually do something that makes sense. Cool, you rewarded us with some extra free stuff for spending money to keep the lights on, but then you have to go and make it over-complicated and just silly.

Just inject everything at once, either on the 24th or when we redeem. I don't understand why you'd split it up- probably because it makes no actual sense whatsoever.
