The same as when they announced the Yen-Lo. To designate my own.

And if they are making more mechs they should be spending some time expanding the variants on the older chassis lines. Should for the most part be pretty low effort to mod existing models.

I'm very excited about Legendary mechs

How about this for Legendary mechs:

0) Quarks/balancing as usual.

1) Add only one of the following quirks into CT of the mech:
-2.5% Heat, or
+2.5% Heat Dissipation

2) The Legendary mech's unique outlier quirk is the Skill Node #240, unlockable only after all 239 Skill Nodes have been unlocked.
<Realistically even for an avid player like me, only my favorite Legendary mech may get full 239/240 Skill Nodes unlocked.
My other Legendary mechs may never achieve the Skill Node #240 unlock>

3) Legendary mechs to get 17x weapon hardpoints including AMS, similar to Crusader Crael hero mech.
(MWO game client only allow for a maximum of 16x weapons to be equipped).
~A mixture of ballistic/energy/missile hardpoints, and perhaps a 4th weapon hardpoint type as dictated by the upcoming new weapon types?

i want a firestarter with 8 machine guns.

with new weapons i might put 8 apgauss/vgls in there instead. lac2s for my other fs heroes.

ALL 35T mechs RESTORED to their original size. Re-scale burn in hell.

[Rondoe]

Guess I missed the memo on this. Don't have time to watch devlogs.

Legendary Mechs, what?

[LordNothing]

i do like the idea of baking the event into the mech itself. because there have been mech packs i wanted but missed the event that came with it, and that reduced the value proposition.

id be willing to buy them as described at a $10-20 price point. more than that and id want something more. like paying out mc at a rate tied to your mc payout (perhaps 1 mc for every 10k cbills). it looks like they want to have a one time mc payment when you level it. i like the idea that when you buy a pack, you get a permanent global reduction in all further grind in the game.

there is really no harm in making it a really enticing purchase. especially if you can get people who have never bought a mechpack to pay up while allowing new players to grind a lot of the legacy content. whales on the other hand are going to buy everything, they are not the ones you need to convince. established players with big inventories and not unlimited funds will probibly just want the variant.

[Meep Meep]

I'd be willing to shell out $20~$30 if it really is a legendary mech with no wasted hardpoints or quirks and the hardpoints and quirks were strong.

Doesn't have to be op just Strong. Thats why I put up the fle-20 since no amount of buffs can make it op because you have to have a high skill base to make it work and those with a high skill base can make near any mech seem op. Just ask DATA and his clickbait videos.

[Heavy Money]

Marauder II with 3 Ballistic Hardpoints: 1 per arm, 1 right torso.

Marauder with a ballistic in each arm.

IS Rifleman with ECM and big sensor/targeting quirks.

Atlas with a Ballistic hardpoint in each side torso.

Warhammer with Ballistic Arms and big enough quirks for them to be worth using instead of the Black Widow.

Legendary Omnimechs might be tough because their hardpoints could influence other ones. But if they are being done, I'd always like more Ebon Jaguars.

They could mostly get around that by putting the outlier quirk into the ct.

[ScrapIron Prime]

I just wanted the Make My Mech Special idea… pay to give any one mech a permanent 30% cBill boost.

so I guess my question is… does this do that, or is this a totally new set of hardpoints and quirks on a mech instead of the one that we love?

[ScrapIron Prime]

Oh, and what do I WANT? You see the Crusader 3R in my sig? An Outlier quirk on it that reduces or removes the minimum range of LRMs.

[Duke Falcon]

Legendary mechs?

I would apprecieate my first-bought KGC with Jade Falcon camo pattern, Elemental bolt-ons and armed with clan-tech weapons...

A jumpin' Hellbringer would be badass to (albeit no variants able to carry JJs but hey! hero mechs often out of tech-bonds already...).

I would LOVE a Blood Asp with a PPC/Gauss HSL so I could go for headshots in my favorite mech. Ive grown fond of the TNS 4S and MAD 4L but they aren't my favorite. Really just anything that can reliably run 42+ PPFD like the TNS 4S with 3HPPC or the MAD 4L with 2 ERPPC and 2 Gauss.

i dont really much care for the hero bonuses anymore. got enough bonused metas i can use to grind cbills should the need arise. despite my egregious cbill spending the last 3 or 4 months, it hasn't. but i do wish the champion bonuses had a bigger gxp multiplier buff so i could use them for the same job, right now they are just mechs you can level fast, and even using them to grind gxp is a buff but its not really big enough to matter, and they tend to be less meta than the heroes. there is a reason i only have like a dozen of those. having a straight 30% gxp buff would be awesome to have on legendaries.

make them cheap or make them less cheap with de-grind. making the de-grind real good and it might inspire f2p players to become badge toting supporters.

The Legendary thing seems great to me!

I wouldn't mind some "Legendary" omni-points that would actually allow the mounting of any weapon at all in them....just sayin.

It's honestly more about having the -H(ero) designation added so other players know this is your mech and your about to drop some thunder in their face. The c-bills are just a reasonable bonus for spending the money.

except most hero mechs are more of a burden than a boon to your team. there are only a few id call meta, many are worthless mixed builds who's only advantage is they dont ghost heat.

I would like to see legendary units have expanded engine caps beyond the norm of the mech. A 350 on a hunchback might sound great but would need some sacrifice to fit, see the centurian D. Basically high performance units that you still have to abide by the mech building rules but gives them reasons to be labeled legendary.
Ex: Wouldn't mind a 390 engine thunderbolt, you could do things to make it work ala line backer. But IS tech. 4ml 2mrm10/srm6 isn't much dps for tonnage but at 65 tons assuming based on TDR-5S but with a big engine be a tanky skirmisher
Edit: asrm6x2 plus 3 ton Ammo skim just enough for adhs in the engine fully doable not the most damage but a65t IS at light mech base speeds. Also you could meme up an ac10 in the arm and be a giant urbie leading an army of 30t midgets
