Why do I even bother? We're getting the Widowmaker, but for MW5:Clans, not MWO. Lo! and behold, it's not the Widowmaker itself. Oh, no! It's a variant that's gotten PGI BS treatment.

ER PPC, ERLL, and LRM/2 SRM in the right arm, and in the left, ER PPC, UAC/20, and LRM/2 SRM. x3 ER Mediums RT. And nothing else! I swear not a damn one of these people ever played a tabletop battle in their lives.

Fragmented DLC really puts me off early purchase. I will but MW5C, but only when it's complete. That may take years and that's fine.

To be honest, I don't play the game. At least, not yet, but a DLC already..? And, this stuff feels like it should of been base game.

While I'm glad that MW5:Clans is getting some DLC, this is one I'll have to pass unfortunately. I don't want to be that guy, but I told myself, that I would not touch this game until we get playable Clans like the Nova Cats, Steel Vipers, Diamond Sharks, Ghost Bears, etc. I don't mind the idea of Clan Smoke Jaguar being a playable Clan giving their major role in starting Operation Revival, but I want to experience the other Clan's perspectives as well. I also know that other clans have been mentioned to be fair (mod support will fix that). But I'm still waiting on Clan based DLC, since we have other 3052 era mechs in MWO that are giftwrapped for MW5:Clans.

agreed.
its $20 for a horde mode, something that really should have been in the base game, and it's barely a month out. Nothing screams removed content like such an early sale.

When I first looked at the Widowmaker variant sheet, one thing I realized was that it brought very little to the table omnipod wise. Once you start factoring later DWF variants, pretty much everything the WM does is covered by something else. When Natasha Kerensky returned to Clan Wolf and performed her Trial of Position in Blood Legacy(I’m out and about, it might have been a different book so don’t quote me on that part), she made a temporary modification to her Dire Wolf. That version never got an official tabletop variant sheet and the listing on Sarna doesn’t go into much detail, but if you read the book you can see her new loadout.

It felt a little wrong on my end to be building this brand new hero mech we were going to put on the cover and then the hero mech just be a glorified skin with normal hardpoints. So instead we went with the book version. It may not the Widowmaker everyone is used to seeing, but it is still a Widowmaker.

will doing horde mode stuff help you rank up/rank up your chassis? that'd be a huge help/

[CSJ Edward]

Since this DLC is about "trials" will we get a Bloodname trial added to the storyline?

[FRAGTAST1C]

When are you guys planning on adding a match maker for that game mode? Doesn't it feel weird that if we want to have PvP or PvE against/with humans, it HAS to be with our friends else there's no other way for human interaction in that mode?

Maybe give us that date and some of us might consider buying this DLC.

[Abaddun]

If I might make a suggestion, I think people might have a bit more confidence in the DLC if PGI could commit to implementing the IS mechs as selectable options in multiplayer/hoardmode in some future FLC pack. The rationale for this is that it would unlock a swathe of "new" mech chassis to try out in both new modes, giving them significantly more longevity and lorewise it works in universe as the simpod can set the mechwarrior up to act as the OpFor in simulations.
I would imagine the turnaround for such an addition would not be long or costly, it seems most of the assets are already in MW5C, with the exception of cockpits of course and it would it would yield a significant amount of satisfaction and confidence in the DLC for MW5C, which in turn builds goodwill and increase the likelihood people will purchase future DLCs.

That would involve live servers vs the local host that the DLC will be using and is a whole other realm. Just including it isn’t a small undertaking.

Why do you want the basic one so bad. It has NOTHING unique,
