Perfect time, having a MWO weekend all weekend

[Pastor Priest]

Both the 7M and 1C we're on my list of next variants. Well played, PGI. Well played...

I would have thought.. with the looming release of the Highlander (and Hero Mech variant) that a nice MC sale might be in order.

Guess I was wrong. Oh well.

Nah, theyll do it the week AFTER the highlander hero is released, so people buy mc to get the highlanders before the sale, then they take advantage of those who want the highlander right away, in the same way that they appear to be releasing the hero before the actual mech to snag those who gotta have a highlander RIGHT NOW!

+50%

I might pick up a Stalker 4N. I've always wanted to get a Stalker. The 1 less missile hardpoint doesn't bother me; It just keeps me from being OCD and having to fill all of my weapon hardpoints and stuffing in more DHS instead

A sale on Mechs that are all subpar?

Let me see how the logic goes.

PGI-1: How do we get peeps to cough up more money on useless stuff?

PGI-2: How about we get them to spend money on terrible stock mechs by giving them 50% off?

PGI-1: People don't buy them with CBills ... why would they spend real money on them?

PGI-3: Wrong, people do buy them, but only play them to grind out the XP to get skill unlocks.

PGI-1: Right, good point ... If we give them double XP, and they are short CBills, they may just pick them up this weekend.

PGI-2: Double XP is a good idea because that is something all players like ... where-as if we just did the 50% off stock mechs we would get nothing but grief from our community.

PGI-1: It's settled ... dupe the new'ish players into spending good money on bad mechs, and appease the general community with double XP. Start the paper work.

Sorry, having a sale on terrible chassis, is just ... well ... terrible.

[BlueSanta]

Hmm, I think it would make more sense to do a Double XP weekend first THEN do a Double Convert XP to GXP weekend. You've done them the other way around.

Also, might make more sense to do a Double XP weekend the week of the release of a new chassis. Would have liked to have seen this for the Highlander.

Have I just not had enough coffee yet, or is the math wrong? Double XP IS 2x, but is NOT 200%, increased. Doubling something is 100% increase.

ya, that's 3 ways of saying 2x; doubled, 200%, increased. the comma makes it correct, now apologize.

[SgtMagor]

hope is on for this weekend.

[AlexEss]

Humm.. Might pick my self up a Treb... Seeing as it is pretty cheap.

Sort of rounding out my medium stable

You're right! I didn't fail at math, I failed at grammar My bad. I'll drink more coffee ASAP.

Still refusing to buy non-Hero mechs with MC.

Will gladly finish off mastering some of the variants I don't like as much.

At least this weekend I don't have to explain to my wife why I need to play from 2-3 PM on Saturday, 8-9 PM on Sunday, or before work on Monday...

[Deathlike]

I'm gonna cash in my free premium time this weekend... so awesome.

This is the optimal order for getting sales that PGI should follow:

MC sale - Should always be the icebreaker on an extended gaming weekend

New Mech (Hero or otherwise) major MC sale - Should always follow within a week or two weeks after the new mech debuts

Double XP weekend - Should be in a following weekend (or 2-3 weeks later from the MC sale, or following a new mech MC sale)

Mech XP to GXP sale - Should almost always directly after a Double XP weekend

1) Follow this order
2) ???
3) Profit!

yeeey double xp

thx

[jay35]

Double XP is always welcome, but the actual sale is lame, especially for a holiday weekend.

[ZeProme]

It would be nice if there was a mech hero discount for sale... I think I want either the CTF-IM or the CN9-YLW

Hmm... auto cannon menace or AC/20 and ML zombie mech? :3

[Yogiyosh]

People may moan, but I'm happy cuz I'm a FNG so any sale/double XP is gonna make my day. Even moreso as I stopped drinking, become a semi recluse and live some of my life in front of my PC...geekery ahoy..and screw the pub

[a rabid chihuahua]

well frag,I need garage space!

[Sturmforge]

Well this will make getting those few mechs from Elite to Master.
