Yay! Timberwolves here I come! Then I can be done buying mechs for a couple of months and use my c-bills for modules and weapons.

(Well, done buying mechs with c-bills. I'll get the Warhammer pack in October, and I've already bought the Huntsman and Marauder IIC packs).

Sorry, but both mechs are totally new and they were released on the last patch on Tuesday. PGI has no reason to put them on sale two days later. This is true for every other company as well.

Please don't ask for new mechs on this sale. It's no mistake if they are missing.

That's fine, but then it should be articulated as such.

I look at the clever little graphic and this is what I see "Heavy Mech Sale / 35% off Clan and IS Heavy Mechs"

I don't expect items that are not for sale (Night Gyr) to be on sale. On the other hand I see a list with (apparently 2 exceptions) every heavy mech, that already had at least one error.

Until you pointed it out, I'd forgotten these were just released. The Grasshopper was fun and all, but I could frankly care less about the champion. I'd just helped ID the error on the Grasshopper-5N and gone through every other heavy mech double-checking. Why? As a courtesy, because I want to help out, etc.

I found two mechs that weren't on sale, double-checked the list and it looked like PGI had just forgotten them, and pointed it out. I tried to play off Matt Newman's response about the Grasshopper-5N and maybe I shouldn't have done that. At the same time I don't appreciate the implication that I'm an idiot for wanting X when I'm trying to help out.

Well, just spent almost 20 million in the last week messing around with two new assaults. Guess it is time to farm some c-bills.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

No, a nice try would be pointing out that the Night Gyr isn't on sale. Since it hasn't been released for MC yet I refrained, but both Grasshopper-5N(C) and Orion-IIC-A(C) are available for MC but not listed on Sale. Since it is a heavy-themed Sale, and all heavy mechs are purportedly on sale, I thought I would mention this.

Since these mechs are newly released they are not on sale.

This may well be a stupid question, and I apologize in advance if that's the case;

Does this Heavy Mech Sale also apply to Mastery Bundles of the same weight class?

Thank you for that clarification. I was checking the other mechs (following the miss on the Grashopper-5N) and forgot that these had just been released. My post was in case they had been overlooked.

Seconded!

But it makes me almost wanna break down and buy a full set of Black Knights.....

I did just that.... been waiting for this sale a while

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

The only problem with the sale is...

Ya got no money to upgrade em afterwards

Many thanks PGI, got 3 x warhammers, 3 x riflemans, 3 x grasshoppers. Lets see what IS mechs can do.

If you ask support *really* nice, they *might* refund the difference. I will never shy away from an opportunity to plug PGI Customer Support, they've always been awesome!

As for me, just got my Dragons... the last mech I've never played/Elited... What am I gonna do with my time? I guess I can master some of these buckets-o-bolts...

Yeah. Customer support might be one of the very best sides with PGI. Kudos! Take that to heart.

Mastery Bundles are 50% off already they don't get additional discounts when mechs are on sale.

[Dee Eight]

Besides which there was a mastery bundle sale only two and a half weeks ago when the weight of the world event ran.

Just sell the components you swap out. And play more matches.

As he bought IS (3 x warhammers, 3 x riflemans, 3 x grasshoppers) its more likely he'll be shelling out a lot more than he could ever recoup.

I'm finally buying into the clan heavies mainly on the basis that at least they'll mostly be done. Going into the FW week with just Vipers, Hunchback IIC's, Nova's and unlevelled Kodiaks forced me to re-evaluate my mechs! So Hellbringers, Mad Dogs, Summoners and Timberwolves here I come.... (if I can afford three of each of them). Deeply regret not picking up stormcrows in the last medium sale but I love Nova's and HBK IIC's so didn't see a need at the time.

Should have time to squeeze in the Riflemen and Black Knights if I can keep at the grind.

[Faithsfall]

Am I correct in thinking if you buy a hero mech you don't receive a cockpit item, this is only available when you purchase the full mech pack?
