Why not a sale on their Cbill value as well?

[vettie]

YES!

I already own 2 of the three and dont want the Treb but this is a good deal!!!!

Cent AL for under 1k MC? Hell of a deal. this is one nasty mech on the battlefield!

Get you SOME!

EDIT : cause for celebration - post number 800!!! MC buying time for me!
second EDIT : corrected the typo - 1kC should have been 1KMC - even so that about 4.50$US (depending on MC Package).

Yeah yeah you right, just caught up in the excitement, and I am old, leave me alone, lol!

Cool. Now sell us something we actually WANT to buy, hey?

And fix camo so it unlocks across all chassis, stop ripping people off you scammers.

[loliza]

possibly the worst sale yet !

[WhupAzz]

A sale on bad mechs? ... No thanks, try harder.

[LaserAngel]

I'm still hoping for Double XP next weekend.

Its not a ripoff, you dont need the camo. People who buy them want them not need them and "wants" usually gain more revenue than "needs" because of vanity.

Medium mech sale... but... where is Cicada?
I was looking to buy some friends for my X-5.

[matux]

Yay nothing worth buying !

[Koniving]

Of these, the 3C is the only mech you might consider getting for MC, this is due to the insanely high cbill cost of the mech and its components. Only consider it if you're not willing to fight for the cbills required to earn it.

Since I already have these mechs for cbills, I went ahead and got the two mountain line patterns I didn't already own. Thank you, PGI.

Isn't it convenient how mech sales always start and end before the next new mech is released?

Like a car dealership -
got move these virtual 'old models' to make room for the virtual 'new models'

Indeed! I do not approve this!!!

[Onesiphorus]

Three out of nineteen medium mechs on sale is madness? Seriously? "But wait, there's more! You can now own the worst "camo" we have to offer!"

haha

NO SOUP MC FOR YOU!

Agreed. There's people more than willing to use some MC to buy a Cicada 3M to offset the high cbill price for it.

Points for Seinfeld reference.

While it's not a great camouflage, it is usable for certain pattern mockups and I especially like what some Atlases have done with it to create a sort of 'uniform' appearance with gold, red, deep brown, bright blue, or other shoulders and head. The white skull on a black Atlas looked cool too.

Personally I have 2 layers of brown decreasing in darkness as you ascend up my Hunchback, with a metallic grey at the top. I call it: "I just went through the water at River City. Polluted as [redacted]!"

Don't have any shots of my Hunchie but I do have this.

Spoiler

Mountain line allows for some interesting forms, though I confess I haven't tried any of the fancy ideas mentioned above yet -- will tonight though. In the meantime, that Awesome became this one.



Awesome piloted by Koniving.
Shots by Lordred.

Yeah the misery is like 40$ worth of MC.
I picked up the Discounted pretty baby.
The price model is so high.
I wouldn't buy a Mech with MC unless I could gift it to someone else right now.
That or Pay a little MC to Gift mech I already own.
I would love to give my Wang to someone.
