meh not impress or really interested in this years offerings to the holiday gods. since this thread is about the mechs i will stick to that and not the loot bag events (two of the paint patterns on offer are ok the other one is crap)
first we have a Warhammer, not a bad mech but i already have 4 from other free mech events including a 6R (hell it even came with a Mohawk and the back sword/shield bolt-ons) so its not really something that has my interest in the least (i will likely just keep this new one and put my old build on it then sell the standard variant for the mechbay (2 SN-PPC and an MRM-30))
Second we have a Commando- ok here we get a bit of credit for it being a new Variant at least and not just an existing one with a the C-bill bonus tacked on. still for me its less than useless since i don't play light mechs other than the odd Ubie shenanigans. still giving credit where it is due.
all in all very disappointing. hell i would have at least expected a Longbow of some kind (an LRM one so you can mentally imagine you are Lobbing little exploding presents at people). then some kind of clan offering even if i have no interest in those mechs at all. just lack luster all around this year.
on a side note the MC is nice (C-bills as well for those who aren't space rich), i'll save it for when the Longbow comes out for MC and might pick one up then.
(don't get me wrong free mechs are free mechs and always a plus especially when all you have to do i splay one match during the time frame, i'm just not enthusiastic about these offerings)
