No interest in the mechs... but perhaps as more bundles of existing chassis with ECM are added, we could look at refreshing the valentines day bundles still in the store? Their price point for 2 mechs is looking increasingly shabby compared to these packs.

I will look at the ecm omnipod for the timber wolf when it drops for cbill later this year.

almost every IS mech has an ECM variant you don't need more.


Why is the pre-order cut off in august when the pack drops in July?

I'll give credit where credit is due. This is a pretty good pack for new or returning players, with the ECM-equipped Timber Wolf and Dire Wolf, and cool paint pattern and bolt-on Elementals.

personally though i want the Watchdog CEWS 1.5 tons 2 slots acts as an active probe and ECM.

Damn you, PGI, damn you!

i usually do not play heavy Mechs or assault ones. But the Elementals got me. Damn you very much!

Your badge indicates that you have "some" heavy and assault Clan OmniMechs in your hangar.

This is nothing new for them - 'Mechs serve as their battle taxis.

though the Nova was the first to do this successfully, the Firemoth was originally designed to carry infantry pods under it's arms. after the nova all Omnimechs had ports and handholds for Elementals.

WARDEN BOOSTER PACK

so why is the pre-order cutoff set to after the pack drops??? and also why is it every time you guys say "art is in final skecth phase and is not final ,but you always end up making it exactly what the sketch art looks like (for the most part) I mean it's cool and all but.... yeah silly maybe. The first sketch art always looks aewsome anyway.

So that the players will have one month (from mid-July to mid-August) to see those 'Mechs in the game?

To you give you the opportunity to see the mechs in action and still get the preorder bonus.

[Mistviech]

Preorder placed...period!

[Teenage Mutant Ninja Urbie]

so.. you do see the inner conflict this pack provides for die-hard-crusaders, eh?


anyway: nice paintjobs - and the ecmS certainly come in useful fore both mechs.


I won't buy for now, but once I'll see "active development" again, as in "improving the current maps to the golden 'rubbelite standard' ", I just might.
oh, and how about a "fangs of steel" supporter pack, for us diehard-steelviper fans? includes mechs with a decent uac20 bonus and a "dakkadakkadakka"warhorn?

Yes, but they're usually not bolted on, and able to jump off at will without waiting for a tech, first.

They're just extra armor.

How about Combat Pets oops...Elementals...for MWO?

Conner Ward, on 16 May 2021 - 11:31 PM, said:

And finally an Elemental "bolt on", although I still wish it was a consumable that made Elementals jump off your mech onto a nearby enemy mech and do damage over time for a short period of time and then jump off.

Instead of finding more ways to deprive players of real money you should be discounting various c-bill mechs, especially those that are not commonly seen on the battlefield. With how pathetic the c-bill rewards are for losing players, no matter how well they perform within the losing team or eve entire match, one can afford a new mech like once per month with regular prices.. and that's with active premium... how enjoyable. I'm personally not going to spend a single dime of real money until I see real improvements in matchmaking... balanced tonnage (and ideally skills) without those, this game is just colossal waste of time and money.

I'm just gonna get this out of my chest, but if anyone complains about a "Warden Booster Pack Event" thread down the road and how PGI is playing favoritism or "politics", then let it be known that they are a huge moron that needs to shut up. Because it's not being forced down their throat, they don't have to buy it if they don't want to and it is PGI's way of giving back and saying "thank you for supporting us". If a person has legitimate reasons not to buy due to things like lack of disposable income, too many variants of the same chassis or personal taste then that's fine. But when it's done out of spite, malice towards Daeron and Matt, sheer ignorance or entitlement issues, just to run their mouths on a mech pack event thread, then that shows what type of a fool they are. There lots of legit things to complain about in MWO and a mechpack event is not one of them.

25 of 64 is hardly "almost every IS Mech" chassis. That's more like 39%.
The Clans have 37%, btw.

So far we are almost even.
