So, I was looking through the Gift Store when I realized that the Mist Lynx D is more expensive than the Enforcer 4P as well as the Panther 10P. In the case of the Enforcer, it's a whole $3 more expensive, coming out to a total of $9! I know it's a Clan Mech and all, but the Mist Lynx is kind of the Clan's version of a Lolcust.

...So how on earth does it get priced more than an AC/20 toting Enforcer??? :blink:

Does anyone else aside from me find this funny? :lol:

Clan HyperTech®

...which still isn't enough to save the Miserable Lynx.

XL engines cost more than Standard engines. The prices are from lore, not PGI.

Maybe it will be less terrible after the balance pass and the pricing will make more sense.

That AC20 toting enforcer doesn't have it's DHS tax paid, ES/FF, XL, etc. It's cheaper to buy, but requires an immediate infusion of cash to make it "usable".

Now, the mist lynx... well, prices have no bearing on performance.

Just to be clear, I'm not actually asking for clarification on how it's priced. I'm just laughing at the fact that it is overpriced.

...So just laugh with me, m'kay? :lol:

Ahh but is it really the Arctic Cheetah that's overpriced or is it the Enforcer that is under-priced?

Hmmm perhaps a price increase for all IS mechs is an order! Their inferiority discounts are OP!

Don't even consider spending real money. The 4P comes with endo and DHS for only four million. Damn good deal for space poors.

It was the Mist Lynx, not the Arctic Chimichanga.

Ah, I see.

Well, I'm sure you can understand how we'd misunderstand that, given:

and how very many questions people pose that you'd think are rhetorical or just silly, but in fact are meant in earnest.

I'm wondering why the Panther 10P is more expensive than the Enforcer 4P

Stock/freshly bought both have endo and DHS - but the Panther 10P has an XL engine, Enforcer 4P is rocking a standard engine.
