Just bought Xanth last week! Curses! Lol anyways, finally a significant sale! Way better than 10% off, that was a joke... I will never spend MC on mechs, but I would be tempted to get these green colors if I hadn't already.

So you've got SRMs doing too much damage at the moment, and you put the CPLT-A1 on sale... seems logical.

I'm sorry for being the party pooper here but if I can't even buy a mech (that is on sale) with 7$US then I have a problem. This is very personal and I don't want to start a flame war but I suggest mechs be from 2$ to 5$ according their build. We're talking micro transactions here. If they were as cheap as a can of coke i'd be buying them without even consideration for my wallet.
Currently it's buy 5 mechs and have 50$ suddenly gone. That's a bit extreme.

Straight from the wikipedia page on Micropayments:

Quote

A micropayment is a financial transaction involving a very small sum of money and usually one that occurs online. PayPal defines a micropayment as a transaction of less than 12 USD[1] while Visa prefers transactions under 20 Australian dollars,[2] and while micropayments were originally envisioned to involve much smaller sums of money, practical systems to allow transactions of less than 1 USD have seen little success

I don't suppose anyone at PGI could confirm/deny that we will be able to paint founders in the near future? I'd buy the camo but my main cat ride is my founders...

DAB NABBIT! Why, oh why... did I have to throw that amount of money at the game for Open Beta!? With all these sales and what not, however now I can't afford them! :) Well, it's okay... 'cos I guess you could say I've beaten the crap out of ' the game so far ' so... But yeah, here's to hoping that other players who have not had the opportunity to enjoy premium time and the ability to purchase a 'mech on a whim, or convert that sweet sweet XP to GXP... well now hopefully they get their chance and I'm telling yeah, " It's worth it! "

And I most definately have the Jagermech to look forward to, but we'll just have to wait and see! CHEERS!

I'd really like to get Xanh, but it costs almost as much as two mech bays, even on sale. Despite it being half off, I'll have to give it a pass.

1) are skins unlocked globally, per mech, per variant, or one-off that you can transfer between mech like weapons?
2) same Q as above but for colours

Skins can be unlocked single use - eg change it lose it - or on a per-chassis basis eg unlock permanently for all catapults. Colours are permanent unlock - once you have it you can use it whenever/wherever

Well the bill to Visa could be $20 but the points could be sufficient to buy 5 mechs (or theoretically a 100). The point is the only thing that needs to be large is the payment processed by the company, but the cost of the individual mechs could be much less.

Can I assume that when I buy the 7 days of Premium Time I can spend them one day at a time? It's not going to be one continuous week, right?

I would tend to think that if you buy 7 days the 7 day timer starts straight away. Ie you cannot choose when to use each of the 7 days. Just like a yearly subscription - 365 days later it expires.

Would be very happy to stand corrected but my yearly subscription counts down each day.

Cheers!
