Not that I needed and excuse to take out my Atlas from the garage, this is just the cherry on the top. It should make the wife mad when I'm oblivious to her all weekend play around with it

That's an awesome promo. If only I wasn't going to military training from today till Tuesday afternoon...

hehe i think 80% of playerbase have somekind a Hero mech, i boughed one, they have made this after all to earn some money.
If you like it you support it.

What we REALLY need is a social hangout map. A map where we can connect and just mess around with each other and have a good time.

[Gorthaur]

Mmm- couple of days of premium time on top should have me rolling in cbills

With less than two hours until the event, I wonder if Premium WILL stack. I would assume so as in previous events, but I guess I'll find out soon.

Funny story, I'm a rather big spender, I have not left nor do I intend to leave. Sure I'll take breaks and come back later.

And it's not a sale, don't know where you got that idea from.

Premium time will stack with this boost.

Yup. They are in the business of making money. The game is a method to that end, and I think one the developers enjoy building, but it still all to make some money. Isn't that wonderful! I for one will enjoy the extra cbills I get this weekend, less grind for the in game cash.

As far as the number of people who have these mechs, its most accounts. Any match I have been in in the last several months has had multiple founder mechs and/or heros. They are everywhere and in nearly every game. I bet every game, but there may be a very occasional game they are not in.

What makes this game even better is that you can play for free if you want and grind away to get what you want in the game. Its up to you so enjoy your grinding and quit complaining.

Sweet damnation. I'll be cruisin' in muh Ilya, muh Flame, an' muh Jenna for some dough!

So you're not spending any money but you are complaining about the sale not helping you out.

Well here.is a free picture, exclusively for you!

Who says that I have not spent any money on this game? I have, and probably more than you. I'm just not going to pay a stupid amount for a single mech. Some of us can still remember these things called expansion packs that gave you lots of meaningful content for the same amount.

[verybad]

The event is for extra CBs using those mechs...So granted, you have to use MC to get them, but they get extra CBs in any case at all times, so if you've spent actual money on the game, but think buying mechs for it is stupid, that means you've spent the actual money on either Premium time or stuff like camo or cockpit decorations...

I've found a couple of 15's and a tag are all you really need.

[Nigrinus]

Is this working with Premium Time on Top? Or just the bonusses on the special mechs?
