One Couldron member did ask for user-removable Jump Jets from OmniPods.
His name is DATA.

I support user-removable Jump Jets from OmniPods!

They use to be user removable and you had like jump jet hard points this created a problem on my kit fox when they changed it my kit fox had too many jump jets.

Great choices for mechs and variants. I'm looking forward to both of these.

I'm not sold on the bolt ons, but its not a deal breaker for me.

With TBR getting agility fixed and ECM, I'm not sure what sort of role that'll leave for Sunspider and Ebon Jaguar beyond tonnage difference, but I suppose that's a problem for the Cauldron's quirk pass.

Well, you do not have to equip them, if you do not want to use them.

The Cauldron-Born has a better silhouette.

The Sun Spider offers higher hardpoints.

Oh boy oh boy! This Wolf wants these fleas in his pelt!

Elemental Battle Armors! Nice!

Please pay attention to their size though!

Daeron, I just had a thought, if you could use the special geometry models from the clan invasion for these mechs, I'd be sold immediately on the new pack.

You mean those Elementals handholds, etc.? I agree, they would be sweet.

But unfortunately, I think it is going to be not possible, since those Clan Invasion 'Mechs were sold with "a unique pattern and geometry".

TBR hero mech with ECM and energy CT... Ths variant will make other variants obsolete...

F wardens... but...

Shut up and take my money!

[The6thMessenger]

Just the ECM?

Yeah it's useful for the Dire, but honestly the Timber-Wolf needs a bit more variety than just being a damn Laser-Boat with ECM -- that's just basically our current Madcat just without the ECM, it's just a build done better. I'm tired of the strategy to make a mech good is to put ECM in it. Now all Timberwolf will carry ECM, just like everyone puts ECM in the Hellbringer.

If it could get a Triple-ballistic highmount LT, or just the 1B LT without the locked JJ, i'd be happy.

CT is light-tag already, there's only one slot for the center-torso. ECM is probably on the either torso.

And that is fine by me. 2LpL + 5 cErML build is by far one of the best builds on TBR. Ill just swap the light tag for cERML. Also ECM in RT is fine for me, as i tend to focus my builds on right side, its one downside of HBR ECM being in left torso. Only problem will be, that you cant do the build with TBR S RT omni, but that is something i think ill manage.

Also 4x cERLLs sniper gets even better now, nascaring idiots will not detect you at 1k + shooting their rears...

Well... Even with that being a potential curse and yet still a simultaneous blessing, some of us have been wanting the Overkill Nascar to stop happening so much. It looks like Matt/Daeron/Mark are all working together with players to help make other battle line types more viable in combat. I would say that's ultimately a win in adding variety back into the MWO game, and those three get my thumbs-up for doing so.

Bought it.
I probably never going to play them, only at the event.
but we need to support the game

btw Daeron I know you guys are very busy, but where is the Vlogs
You missing the second April and probably one of the MAY ones

please just don't forgot this game, like you (PGI) did the last time you should release MW5, it nearly kill the game.

[My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ]

Kind of disappointed honestly. Unless it has nice so8 quirks the TBR-BH can already be done swapping omnipods and then it becomes a question of using the JJ RT or ECM one.

[Ch_R0me]

Allright, pre-ordered.

PS: PGI, I had a issue to pay via Paypal, telling me that payment method was unavailable. After several attempts, I've used BLIK codes to pay for it.

A bit shame that you didn't make the camo more TRON-like

Not mentioning my fav colours:

Besides, maybe it's time to watch the Mw2 intro again.

But... but... this is not TRON at all...

In fact... ... <*gets a look on their face like an angry spartan warrior might*>

THIS... IS... MECHWARRIOR!!!

<*smiles again*> ... but I'm definitely taking a really serious 'Like' to the reasonably-laid green theme that hails back to "MechWarrior 2" and the MechLab systems which it had. I only wish that we could get the texture-less "WireFrame Enhanced Imaging" in MWO too, and in the same style as "MechWarrior 2" as well. It could rather much potentially help a lot of older computer systems remain much more able to play MWO now (possibly including re-enabling some), and therefore result in an increase of player population due to making the game more accessible to people in general. That could also result in more people returning who were pushed out by their computer being unable to keep up with how MWO has changed over time, particularly in the case of the ones who can not spend out to do upgrades. Most people can get good framerates in the MechLab usually, but it would be a happy thing to see the same start happening out on the battlefields!

Oh man... that brings back memories... lots of fun memories...


[unaimed rant] And then it reminded me of how Lock-On Weapons within MWO's current state are nowhere near MW2-level (let alone even MW3-level) quality now. (There's more I could say, but I'm not going to start a firestorm here!) I bet this upcoming "Dire Wolf DWF-C" Variant is going to end up with the Missile HardPoints going unused, if they don't end up flatly OmniPod-swapped by players for something totally else. We know the Community by now, always wanting to equip Ballistics alongside the ECM on their designs, even if it sacrifices the So8 and/or JumpJets that were once there. But then again, who can really take advantage of an So8 all that well these days? [/unaimed rant]

An excellent choice, ECM and AMS are so important right now!
