I'm slightly confused. Founder package vip bonuses begin at the start of the open beta, are these bonuses reset at official launch? Or do we keep all xp and c-bills we've accumulated during beta?

EDIT: nvm, posted without reading comments

From how I understand it, once we reach "Open Beta", we are essentially "Live" so, at the point we reach "Open Beta", there will be a final wipe and we'll begin playing the game in earnest with all the perks and timers ticking off.

when will I get my Shineys I wants my precious..... 11:30 am EST here

So then to Recap. Aug 7th we get our founders packs (mechs and mech cash plus premium acounts), every patch we get a soft wipe and the founders packs issued again, in full. at least until Open Beta. Founders Program is extended til a date to be decided. Once Open Beta is announced/patched we get hard wiped and the founders packs re-issued in full again. And, unless you decide we need another hard wipe, all purchases and experience gains are permanent!

Based on other things posted, there will be a way to purchase additional Mech Cash in Closed Beta, and when you announce a cutoff date for the founders program you're (probably) close to releasing Open Beta. (Just a guess on my part though for th open Beta thing!)

Just want to finish with a couple of words of support.



GO TEAM!!!!!

Your view is, quite frankly irrelevant! What I expressed is; however; perfectly relevant and you know what, I reckon there's a good few more who feel the same as me. And who are you exactly, to judge my integrity? It was always advertised as a time limited offer which to all was intended/inferred to stop on 7th August - the date when the founders were officially to get in.
Based on the official video releases, you can clearly see this will be a F2P financial winner. There's no need to milk the founders program any longer than absolutely necessary. It simply devalues the whole game in terms of the intended exclusivity of the package contents.


Is it just me or does anyone else not understand this statement?


So in other words you are freely breaking the NDA by telling everyone how good the game is? That makes your whole reply a touch hypocritical doesn't it?

I'd like to finish by stating this is a concerned post and not an angry reply. Please unless you can apply logic to thinking before typing then by all means don't.
Thanks for reading.

Seems someone is upset that he's not gonna be the super speshul snowflake, amongst the other speshul snowflakes.

That's in a raging blizzard.

That's been raging for 50 years.

Once MWO goes from closed beta to open beta then everything is reset and set to zero. They will be regarded (essentially) as two different games, which is why starting today you have access to all your founders perks without the 2-3 month count down on them. The counter will begin when open beta is released and everyone is reset at even ground.

Can't wait for the update! Mostly because I can't wait for the wipe. I spent my MC on some stupid stuff. Catapult variants all over the place.
Been having so much fun in this game, can't wait till the game is live! Tournaments are being planned!

[EvangelionUnit]

*still waiting for the patch*
awesome this week is getting better and better !

[Remissus]

*twiddles thumbs anxiously*

Gosh I can't wait to get my shiney orange title in-game and my awesome Founder's Jenner! So psyched.

[wint0nic]

This is awesome, I like what you guys have done.

[Tether]

Thank for the grat update

[GHQCommander]

Good luck on the battlefield everyone. Not seen a time on this.

I myself cannot play it yet sadly, could not get a new computer in time. But the founders bonus will make catchup easy and I suppose starting with 4 mechs means I don't need to be impatient. When I get to play, it's going to be great.

[Torquemada]

Don't worry GHQCommander there will still be at least one more wipe before the open Beta and at that point we'll all be starting fresh for one last time, but this time for real.

[Drgnman]

you're NDA still applies!

Waaah waaaah waaaah they are increasing the time people have to buy the founder's package which causes digital inflation and devalues whatever perceived value that my already purchased founder's package has waaaah waaaah waaah.



Really? Wow get over it people. You're like those whiners in WoT that threw a tantruum because they sold pre-order only tanks in the game store for a few hours. Nobody cares about your super serious special colors on your super serious founder mech. You whiners are absolutely pathetic.

Indeed. I don't always like taking out my rare tanks in World of tanks. Just for the reason of it sticks out like a sore thumb. Easier to focus fire the glaring obvious pre-order tank, rather than the herd of M26s that all look the same.

I like to hide in the herd.

[ghalidrim]

Yay, looking forward to reeking some havoc tonight.

[Misi]

Agree with Angar,
so the question is, will there be an alpha release?

I guess not as open beta will allow you to spend non refundable MC and the premium accounts time will be running. Anyway thanks for the note, I was expecting some huge download when I have just got home and some more scenarios than the three a few of us are already so familiar.

Just about to get the elite status on catapult... hurts a bit being reset.

Take care

Big Mechwarrior fan , but WAY out of the loop, so bare with me.

I'm sure the dev's want all types of feedback even if it's not shinning.

I'm not trying to ruffle feathers but i'm sure it will happen.

Don't think i'm going to get back into Mech and i'll explain why.

First it's Free 2 Play out of the gate, now don't get me wrong I'm not shooting for a sub or anything but i would rather a B2P setup just to keep the lines clear between fans and trolls.

Second it's this Founder thing. It just doesn't sit well with me. (my opinion). I have to spend money to be on equal ground with founders or i'll never catch them (yes I know it's a skill game) but even if i suck, at least i would be gaining the same exp as all the other sucky players without a devision of founder vs F2P exp.

and mostly for the second reason, i will not be looking into MWO any further.

I do hope this game does well, as it looks like a huge amount of love and effort has gone into it, and it does look amazing.

Best of luck.

[UnseenFury]

I hope you wont reset mine mechs' perks (pilot lab) when Open Beta starts.
