Thanks, PGI. I had planned to buy Bioshock Infinite and spend this entire weekend beating it. Now looks like I need to change plans since I've got 3 different mechs I want to master. Guess Bioshock will have to wait for another couple of weeks.

Not too keen on the sale, but double XP is always awesome.

Just run a match in my 4P and got 4600XP (double xp and premium time)!

MC is still too expensive for me to consider buying, even with a sale on regular chassis... which I can buy with c-bills anyway so that seems a bit pointless.

How about an MC/Hero Mech sale next time? If I could get the X5 for less than $15 (which seems a bit ridiculous to me, for one chassis) with a bit left over to spend on some vanity stuff, I'd do it. Until then, I'll hold onto my pennies thanks.



you think thats expensive, check out the cost of the LOWE in world of tanks....at around 45 dollars for 1 tank...these prices arent soo bad :D

I've bought mechs in trial by fire sales before but I only wish these were better quality mechs.The TBT-7M is quite good but otherwise, I wish there was an Atlas or a Cicada or a Raven in there.

there needs to be an Easter sale.
suggested
Extra mc with purchase perhaps 10-50 % bonus from bottom to top tier (i'd buy top).
A sale on hoping (jumping) mechs.
And a sale on the ridgeline cammo and pastels (soft blues pinks greens yellows ect.), so we can paint our mechs like easter eggs and hunt each other.

We need easter eggs and chocolate Mackie for the cockpit.

I also want bunny ears in whatever implementation, especially on my atlas.

Super PGI, thanks for the Double-XP weekend.


Also, I really like the size of the Trebuchet in the banner.

Any chance we can actually have it that big compared to the other mech ingame too?

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.

Why would they want to sell something new at an essentially reduced price? That's not how capitalism works.

Eventially, Highlander variants will be on sale, but they're sure as heck not going to sell them cheap now.

MC sales aren't terribly good, because the last (and only) one they've done was 20% extra MC IIRC, but it wasn't actually a reduced price. Now a 50% sale on a few variants is a lot better deal for us, you just don't have access to all the variants. Eventually the variant of the mech you want will go on sale. You just have to have patience.

*Wanders off to buy a Treb*
Ooops, it's the one with the NARC (single missile launcher) Glad I checked before I bought. Well. Maybe next weekend ;)

Thanks for having a weekend event that goes Thursday to Tuesday (instead of Friday to Sunday or Monday morning), I work weekends and I actually can participate this time (played last night and will be around Monday). ;)

Know the feeling. While I don't work weekends, I used to, and it can suck when you miss stuff like that.

Greetings, MechWarriors!

We’re excited to announce a sale this weekend on all trial Mechs. Like Trebuchets? Always wanted that Stalker? How about that Dragon? You’re in Luck!

Presenting, the 3rd Trial By Fire sale!

Now, you can buy the Trial Mech variant(s) you want (COM-3A, TBT-7M, DRG-1C, STK-4N), for FIFTY PERCENT OFF the price! Again, yes, fifty percent off! That’s higher than both 30, and 40 percent!
This means you could get a Commado 3A and TBT-7M for 1875 ! Or maybe you want a COM-3A and DRG-1C – now you can get both for 1270 ! Heck, go all Heavy/Assault and get the DRG-1C and the STK-4N for 2432 ! Any way you do it, this is a great time to pick up those variants!

This sale will be on this weekend (but starting Thursday due to the Good Friday holiday) from March 28th at 10am PST till April 1st at 10am PST. So act now, MechWarrior!

To further celebrate the Trial By Fire Sale, we’re giving double XP rewards all of this Easter Weekend! This means any XP you earned is doubled; 2x, 200%, increased!

This event will last from this Thursday, March 28th at 10am, till Tuesday, April 2nd at 10am.
So if you’re using a new Mech, eliting out an existing mech, now is your chance! We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield, and good luck, MechWarriors!


Do i need to buy one of these mechs to double XP? I did not get double XP reward with my mech.

No, you get doubled XP with every Mech.

But keep in mind that there is no big red "x2" or so at the end ouf round screen, you just get more XP than usually... :huh:
