Mechwarrior Online

Thats fair enough, and a perfectly valid point of view, but really a different issue.
it's still not a $60 gold mech.

Fine, gold mech and ingame money to buy mech related shit. Gold mech is still the big draw though

still no way I'm paying

And you don't have to. Game will be free on release.

I've sunk about $50-60 in to tanks in the last year and a bit so sinking that amount in to mechs is not a problem for me. Its still cheaper than eve.

It is a problem if the game turns out to be crap. Then you've just encouraged yet another gaming company to make crap games, again.

I've done this with so many non free to play games already then why not give mechs a chance.

Yeah, it's not crap though. it's far from perfect atm, but it's got the potential to be a real gem with a bit more work (ok, a fairly big bit, but still).

Yeah but it's a long long way off though. I also dislike spending money on something that's not even finished yet, but maybe I'm just out of touch, that seems to be the way of things nowadays.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the issue properly tbh.

It's F2P so just....don't spend money.

:confused:

I do not think the product/service in question (Operation Inception) is worth the amount of money required for purchase. This is an opinion I have formed having taken part in beta testing. I will of course exercise my right to not purchase, I am merely giving the reasons for said non-purchase.

[Alex Caine]

Ah, right. Sorry, thought the issue was the game as a whole, rather than the Inception pack alone.

Fair enough.

Is there any indication how much damage each type of weapon will do?

Founder's packages now for sale: https://mwomercs.com/founders

If you thought the WoT packages cost...

Edit: Email more informative than web page, but sent in form of picture.

Founder's mechs earn 25% more C-bills/match, premium starts at the kick-off of open beta and gets 50% more XP and C-Bills/match (suggests to me no progress wiping at close of beta/launch of game). Buy a package and get into the beta August 7th.

Edit 2: The tags shown in the email are incorrect, the ones on the web page are the things being awarded. Already found a forum-goer with a gold one.

Edit 3: And their web page is getting hammered.

Any stats/reviews on those Founders mechs? Curious as to if it's worth it or not

[Dahak]

That didn't take long.

The only one I've driven personally is the Catapult C1, which is the 4x medium laser 2x LRM 15 variant, with twin jump jets. Comes with 4x missile and 4x energy mounts total. I quite enjoy it, although I have a thing for Catapults. I've not driven any of the Jenner or Hunchback variants, and the Atlas I drove was another version. Quite capable, but different. The variants are being shaken up with today's patch, so I've no idea what changes are being made.

Am pretty fucking tempted 60$ ain't to bad

[Dahak]

And now Reddit is down too. What am I supposed to do at work now, work?

[Alex Caine]

$60 spent.

What the hall, it's hardly anything.

[Kilabi]

Thinking 60 bucks founder right now. But srsly, my premium will already run in the open-beta? And then I get wipped? Any more infos on this because this sounds just stupid.

Also for the beta guys: Does it make sense to get the Atlas to be "higher tier"? Basically thinking to take the biggest one to get more money out of it. Like getting a Löwe instead of a Churchill in WoT terms. If it does not matter at all I would tend towards Jenner or Hunchback.

Can't be arsed finding the post, but Open Beta confirmed not getting wiped. Closed Beta is, Open not (so it's really one of those dumb early access things, not Beta at all tbh).

Same. Sharp-nosed blue Catapult now mine.

Also they give you the option to upgrade for the price difference instead of buying another package, just in case you want to throw more money at them.

They do? Motherfuckers...now I have to guard my other $60 closely.

Not quite. For one there's no tiering in matches, Jenners are right there with Atlases. Supposedly the devs intend to do what Wargaming has failed and make lights viable for scouting and info warfare and such. I can see this as being possible should they put in the effort. Right now they're still capable in fights. If you're a good pilot you can outmaneuver slower mechs and at least partially offset your fragility. I've seen a competent Jenner draw off 2-3 heavies from the main battle, firing lasers the whole time. Much harder than slugging it out with an Assault, though.

Edit: Also, repair expenses are supposedly a % of the purchase cost, so the lighter you are the cheaper the vehicle is to operate.

the atlas likes taking things in the face.

the catapult is propably the better option, i would have fucking loved having the option for a Centurion though.

[Kilabi]

Cool. Will go with the Hunchback in that case. AC20 should be enough to bring the pain, not the biggest mech on the field to not draw all the fire all the time and lower repair cost.

I am a sucker for mediums anyway.
