As you well know, the UrbanMech finally releases tomorrow with all of its awesome content. Did you check out our "11 Days of Urbie" post? We’re really excited about this release, and we know that many of you are as well. The creation of the UrbanMech has been a lot of fun for us, and we really think you’ll all have great fun piloting it.
However, as we drew closer to the release of the Urbie we realized a potential issue with the upgrade path we had originally envisioned, in cases where players were upgrading from an existing Standard UrbanMech Pack to a Collector’s Pack.
Under the original system we had outlined, players who upgraded after the April 7th delivery date would actually end up with the Standard Variant UM-R63 as well as the Special Variant UM-R63{S}.
This upgrade path would actually leave Standard-to-Collector upgraders with four Variants in total, instead of the three that come with the Collector’s Pack.
The Standard Variant UM-R63 would then need to be removed from the player account and replaced with the Special Variant UM-R63{S} after those players made the upgrade, in order to make things fair for those players who had purchased the Collector’s Pack outright.
After talking it over we figured we could just avoid all that confusing mess and give all Collector’s Pack owners the Standard Variant UM-R63 as well, and leave everything else as-is! So that’s what we’re doing.
So this is how it breaks down:
-
The Collector’s pack will now include all four UrbanMech Variants (along with four MechBays): the UM-R63, UM-R63{S}, UM-R60, and the UM-R60L.
-
The Standard pack will still include just the three standard UrbanMech Variants (along with three MechBays): UM-R63, UM-R60, and the UM-R60L.
-
Upgrading from the Standard Pack to the Collector’s Pack will get you all four UrbanMech Variants (along with four MechBays): the UM-R63, UM-R63{S}, UM-R60, and the UM-R60L.
The UrbanMech pre-order page will reflect all these changes tomorrow, but in the meantime feel free to purchase or upgrade to the UrbanMech Collector’s Pack with this knowledge tucked safely in your mind. Of course, if you've already purchased an UrbanMech Collector's Pack you'll automatically receive the Standard UM-R63 Variant, no fuss, no muss.
Stay calm and Urbie on.
