Who the hell is insane enough to pay millions of CB to save a few seconds every now and then? It takes an average gamer at least two weeks to save up for a big XL engine, so nobody with a brain is going to buy a duplicate.

Anyone who wants to grind more C-Bills. Its an investment. The only reason to buy them is to remove downtime. Hell be glad that you can move them and they don't somehow lock into the mech. I have more than one of a couple of different XL engines because I run 2 mechs that can use the engine and sometime like to PUG grind. So if I die I can just jump right back in. You make the c-bills back fast enough that way.

Hmmmmm... I have multiple XL 300s, 4 in fact. I also have 2 XL 200s, 2 XL 250, a 225, and a few other miscellaneous XL engines. If it is just a few seconds then it really isn't worth an unlock, is it.

Guess we are both brainless.

[Lukoi Banacek]

I vote no to "unlocking" for right now....until we see how CW is implemented, extra gear for the sake of convenience is one of the few Cbill sinks ingame atm.

Would it be too much to ask to not have to move my components from one mech to another when I want to switch?

Yes.

Wow, that's pretty much the worst justification ever. An investment? You casually throw some 7 million c-bills so you can "grind faster"? Do you honestly think that purchase has broken you even yet? Perhaps in in a few years of grinding.

Most people really don't have mechs and c-bills coming out of their ears. MWO already has a comparable number of c-bill sinks to LoL even though it's only a fraction of its age.

Also, way to bring in the real life argument here. I thought games were supposed to be about fun, not work. Silly me, I guess?

I have 4 or 5 XL300 engines, and I am close to having at least 1 of every XL engine from 200-350. I also have multiples of several of them, the engines that I find useful in several different mechs.

It is really easy to make money in this game, and not much to spend it on. Might as well get the stuff that makes it more convenient to run multiple mechs.

Ummm.. most people DO have C-Bills coming out their ears. Purchasing a few things with MC goes even further to make this true, either Hero mechs or premium time.

[Roadbeer]

Purchases aren't broken, the way you're approaching the game is.

I am more shocked to hear that there are people *without* c-bills falling out of their ears.

Right?

Playing > QQing

[Grand Ayatollah Kerensky]

I don't know about unlockable engines because of the issues with dropship game mode. But I would definitely like to be able to save certain loadouts and have the game automatically build it by taking parts first from the owned parts list and then from parts fitted on other mechs.

[Leiska]

Dunno man, I bought 3k MC and bought a mech. Now I have two. I also have one XL engine. I've been playing for a couple months or so and money is certainly not falling out of my ears.

You get more money when you win; try doing that more.

Then your not doing it right.

[deforce]

sounds like someone still has thier mommy do thier laundry for them.

[Roadbeer]

Weird, since the wipe, 2300 drops and I have 15 mechs, all have engines and equipment, most have all the modules they need and I have 65mil Cbills kinda just sitting there...

Don't know what to tell you.

whats your avg per match?

i have 35+ mechs and loads of XL engines (mostly not equipped), almost every one of my mechs is fully functional, minus modules. I still have 200 million cbills stockpiled.

I'm the team top scorer in over 50% of my matches if that's what you mean.

You thinks its bad now wait till they bring repair and rearm back. I don't even play all that well and I can grind the c-bills for a couple of xl's in a short evening of play.

[Chemie]

they could charge 250MC to have a "config" profile to select for each mech...like when/if we can choose which mech for a map before laucnhing, you could have your mech and choose config 1,2,3,4 based on that map.

Doesn't mean much if your team is on the loosing side.
