You need to cool your jets. This is probably one of the best money making idea they've had.

Just who's money are they making again?

I don't just hate all the time, I almost always say reasonable things with good reasoning behind them. I don't take crap from sycophants and I don't accept backhanded praise from them used to flame either.

Funny. The post I read from you usually come across as goading and frustration from your inability to play the game. Also you come across as the type that cannot accept when he/she is wrong which shows weak character.

Its worse than you think PropWar! The three of us agree!!!

It's not strange at all. You two are viral marketers working for PGI who praise 100% of what they say every day all the time. The community is overeacting here, and I think that this isn't a bad thing. Therefore we agree because we both think that PGI isn't making a bad move. The only reason this is special or unique is because PGI has been making so many terrible decisions lately and has proven to be pretty amateur hour.

I'm sure. But you're wrong, say wrong/dumb/ignorant things all the time, and seem pretty set in your king of the golds position. That shows delusion and a lack of perspective.

Meh, Fine with Hero early. At the end of the day, It encourages people to buy who can afford it, which allows the people who can't, to play for free.

[Cyberassassin]

To OP,

QQ and use your brain. The early release of Hero mechs was a brilliant move for the Devs.

People that want the newest and pinkest can get it 2 weeks before everyone else grinding C-bills.
1 - $ for the Devs
2- Satisfaction for the wanty
3-Target practice for the low-on-funds population

King of the GOLD! With my Big Bronze Banner. Yep your right I've spent about $500.00 of the game and love every friggin second I play the game with all these great peeps. I work hard for my money and can spend it how I see fit. Go ahead and hate my banner and the faith I have in PGI. Spit at me all you want. I never begrudge what others have for most of them have earned it or are deserving of it. Do I live with my head in the clouds? Sure do and it's a fine place to be in the virtual world. People like you need a life outside of this one. Be happy with what you have not jelouse of what you "think" others have.

I am okay with this monetary strategy as well. There isn't anything really wrong with it. I don't plan on buying one because I'll only be able to get it's basics done.

I do plan on killing as many as I see though.

Funny you must of missed me disagreeing with consumables.

Very disappointed in the HPs, it really needs more hardpoints (1-2 max). Will be interesting to see what people do with it.

From the sound of things and looking at the actual mech, I'll be glad to have a positive KDR with it. We'll see if it has some hilarious hitbox issues like the Jager head.

Hunting down the highlander will happen with or without this post. Every kids wants to be the first on the block with a Highlander kill.

[arghmace]

Releasing hero mechs in advance is a good way to make money, I feel.

No way it's gonna be p2w driving a mech you cannot elite for 2 weeks.

[Tabernakel]

really?...really?????

i mean... i get to ssome degree the hatred they got for the p2w cool flush... the slow/bad balancing of weapons.... but

just because they choose to release a hero variant before the normal variants you gonna hate????

thats just... ... well.. ouch thats what it is...

Well, there's always gonna be those that don't like something but it looks clear that most of the community thinks this is a good monetization strategy - much better than many other options.
