    And according to the Tech Manuals I just searched, we only have to wait til 2030 to drive one! ... Damn you for informing me about the 1:1 time ratio. I want my Naginata now! ... I guess I'm gonna have to use the Catapult for now.

    Edit: Speaking of which, the game is what? 3049 now? I haven't had time to do any info seeking on the game yet, but does that mean they're gonna go for release around Aug/Sept of this year to sync to the Periphery invasion on release?

    It's not completely clear.
    Yes, right now is May 25, 3049. The devs have a daily updates with fake ISN news articles pushing bits of history/lore in real time.
    Spoiler: show
    And your date is off, while the Blood Kite is IN TRO 3067, the lore text block has it introduced in the 30th century (so sometime in the 2900s). So technically they can add it in whenever they have an empty space in the release schedule they need to fill by making some kind of isorla claim. (Star League mechs can fill much the same purpose.)
    Lore wise, it's in TRO 6067 because nobody sees the damned thing until Victor Steiner-Davion goes to Strana Mechty for the Great Refusal and somebody actually fights the Blood Spirits.


    One of the big things that limits what goes in the game is art assets. The mechs need to be modeled, animated, etc. It takes time.
    My guess is, the game launches in August with 15-20 IS mechs, and that's what we play with for half a year. PGI spends that time getting the the 16 frontline Clan omnimechs ready for release in March 2013.
    [BTW, http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/05/265...s-arriving-now BETA INVITES ARE IN THE WILD you cn fill out a survey now to increase your odds of entry.]

    They also need time to balance superior clantech for play. The lore has an excuse in zellbrigen for how the clans get stomped, but I doubt any non-fan player is going to hold to that behavior.

    Unimpressed by his loadout choices. But I went from six to noon watching that. Can't wait.

    If you pop on the MWO forums, Paul spends whatever spare time he has trolling everyone. The loadout was specifically tailored to set people frothing.

    Think it works sort of like a premium for some games out there. World of Tanks from wargaming also uses the same model. Just.. shittier.

  15. #115

    Do we know how far ahead the early start is? Because it almost seems like you'd be screwed not to buy... and then not getting 4 mechs

    Well, starter packages in Tanks (I reference this because the model is really similar) basically gives you gold (premium currency) so you can convert EXP or whatever into a research tree and it's a slight starter.. but yeah. Seems like this is a package to give people a good boost ahead of people who don't. How much is it? Haven't followed

    Yep. Pretty much the same as World of Tanks, only the premium offers a little more.
