Good sale for those that missed the Camo Spec 2 one. My gut says Double XP Weekend is lurking around.

I've been waiting for a 30% off X-5 sale since it came out. Excellent value hero in a great class already and now it comes with 3 extra mech bays. Don't mind if I do! =)

Waited for 4 weeks for either a light or medium focussed weekend and sooo glad I did. Nearly brought an X5 last weekend, but after getting stitched on 3 previous purchases, I’ve been too scared to spend MC or CB recently...

Firstly – thank you for a well balanced and thought out sale PGI

Secondly – would it really be that difficult at the beginning of a month to lay out a rough plan?

Hey MechWarriors, going into the month of X we have the following planned (usual disclaimers apply) -
Weekend 1: New Hero mech with supporting paint and cockpit items
Weekend 2: Medium weekend with paint / camo and maybe GXP
Weekend 3: Heavy stuff etc etc

At least we can plan our spend for the month? Pretty please???
Anyway, off to buy me an X5 :P

Picked up both the X-5 and the Yen-lo Wang so that MechSpecs can continue doing testing on Premium Content versus F2P Content and provide videos to our Benefactor level users!

Thanks for the GREAT savings on both these!

With the 30% savings he is treating it as if he paid full price for the X-5 and instead of being cheaper it just came with 3 mech bay slots as well.

i guess the pgi doesnt understand the strain of being working middle-class

seriously...do they not read this before hand?
"we have tons of needless things for cash money that you could use for gas, and/or food"

free 2 play means it should be accessible by all...w/o a playerbase this game will die...

i need free players to shoot at

you, sir, are a moron. 'working class' relates to the medium class of mech not your income.
