    Err regarding the preorder rewards, since i ordered the full package do i have all of them ? Or only the first one ? i'm not meaning the premium time included in the packages or the mad dog.

    You mean things like extra hanging cock pit items right?
    All, like how it is before I think.

    Since you purchased in September, you get all of the rewards. If you purchased in October, then you get all of the rewards minus the September rewards, and so on and so forth.

    [member=5002]Exentius[/member]: As others have said, you WILL get them. However, their exact injection dates are not all the same. Specifically, the Polygon camo pattern for the mechs in the preorder stands out because it won't be coming until the 16th OF DECEMBER, regardless of when you get the mechs themselves...but you WILL get it. The Premium time will be injected Oct. 1st. The rest should follow the injection date listed below that reward.

    The FAQ has the injection date for each mech and then when they will become available for MC and CBills as well.

    Personally, I'm glad my finances worked out and I won't have to wait a month (or two!) and miss out on pre-order rewards. Now I just have to keep working on being a better player :p

    I have said it before and I will say it again, PGI has grown real cunning on the marketing side! By spacing out the injection dates they have ensured:

    - Players will want to return to the game regularly as new mechs come and change gameplay. Both for the buyers and others. Will promote the feeling of new content likely.
    - Mech impact is easier to judge and monitor, if changes needs to be done etc.
    - People will get a taste, see others play the first mechs (think commercial) and may buyin or upgrade.
    - Staggered development must be easier on the resources.

    :)

    I have a feeling that the adder would be gg once the Mist Lynx is out. :D

    Well the marketing team does get a bit cunning, but it is on the good side of cunning though, in the way that things are better organized. A staggered injection beats getting nothing at all for a long time, and it is also easier for some to manage their cbills with things coming out some at a time. Also, the way the set things up, they tend to attract people with events. Balanced or not, event and missions are fun, and give some players a goal other than grinding.

    Well, let's face it, most of us have elited many of the mech already. A little theme each week is good.

    And on the PGI side, it is easier to get feedback, and players would be more likely to return on injection times to pilot/see the new toys in action. That would also give a better impression of the game updating. Before it is basically:

    MC hero->MC-mech->cbills mech
    That is about it, along with some hero/paint/camo sale. That and sometimes we do not even get anything new but some camo.

    A new variant of an already exist mech series promopt newer players to get mech from the older series (with updated quirks and hopefully models), and renew som older builds and ideas.

    A la Carte upgrade to Masakari for wave 1 should be active by the end of today. Wave 2 A la Carte will be in later this week. (Russ Bullock)

    We now have the faction content available to pick. If you bought a pack, select your goodies and show off that paint on the 16th. :)

    Edited for clarity.

    Exactly the same situation, I have 4 choices (likely one clan each) and three medallions (I chose one FRR already ofc) left to pick.

    But I see no reason not to pick one each of the clans, do you?

    The medals I will hold off on until I see the whole scope of the loyalty points and what you can do with them. Likely will pick Steiner, Davion and Kurita based on lore and proximity to FRR (main squeeze).

    I've already picked both my medallions and faction paint. Other than additional cockpit items, there is no reason not to take one of each faction paint. If you've got all 4 you get 4 paint schemes and 12 colours.

    Erm, enileph, I don't think the camo or colours will be available til the 16th. They're just letting you choose your faction stuff now.

    I want the colors - so I went one of each - I don't use war horns or cockpit items really to I just wanted the patterns and colors unlocked.

    I would suggest prob doing the same for your best value...

    Same goes here, polly cheaper to buy more cockpit stuff later if you want them.
    So even cockpit item is not available til 16th?

    From the wording on the site, I assume not. I also took one of each color since...well, variety ;)
