When is the "beginner pack" going to be added to the store?

I've read feedback from someone mentioning that the "Resistance Collection" is worth buying when there is a 30% discount. May I know the reason behind it?

Are those mechs in the "Resistance Collection" good?

The Resistance packs include some Faction content like cockpit items, colours and cams patterns. Each pack also contains at least one mech with a c-bill bonus and some Premium time.

In the basic Resistance Collection, in my opinion the Fury Pack is pretty good because the Grasshopper and Enforcer are decent mechs. The Panther has good PPC quirks (for now). Some players get good results with the Panther but I'm not one of them.

In the Resistance II Collection, in my opinion the best value comes with the Crab Pack because you get both the Crab and Wolfhound which are both good mechs. The Mauler MX90 in the Mauler Pack is a great mech but you can just buy it for c-bills. I don't know enough about the Black Knight to make a recommendation either way as I only have the Partisan hero variant.


Hope this helps,

Thanks for the info, I will look into them and your suggestion as well.

One of the best sales ever. Everything we need to build new mechs fit for the changes. Thanks a lot!

Hey MWO/PGI, if you really want the players to think of MWO Premium Mech Packs all the time, so as to help drive Mech Pack sales:

Just once or twice a year, and for only 12 hours only (and with no prior notice), put up just one (1) top-tier Mech Pack on sale at 50% Off. Suggest those bigger dollar amount packages (Clan Wave I/II/III, Resistance I/II, etc.).

Eager players would do homework in advance--which mech pack they wish to get when 50% Off, and keep them looking at the [Store] for Mech Pack at 50% Off sale!

Some players may even elect to *not* wait for that 50% Off, and just buy the Mech Pack.
Sale accomplished!

Surprising the Thunderbolt is great with those quirks. Not feeling the dragon though kinda garbage sadly.

Try 3 Snubs and 2 SRM4, Or for more peaking at longer range, 2 HPPC, + 2 SRM4.
My personal favorite is a weird one: 2 LPL, 2 ERML, 2 SRM4, XL engine and speed tweaks -> 94 kph. It feels like a medium mech

Or for more longer range an LRM10

My first build with the Dragon is 2xHPPC and 2xSRM 4 to protect the under-run a little. Seems to be working quite well.

I just realized you can buy and sell engines for the same price during this action.
NICE !

I second this... This particular style of Sale left me wishing that it had run about 4 Days longer... A nice and even 2 Weeks of time would have been perfect.
