Okay, now this is getting to be rediculous...
Where is the support for lights and the representation for light mechs? There is NONE. No special tournament for light mechs and pilots, no "Light VS the World" No special sale for light mechs AT ALL. Im sorry PGI/IGP but im not sorry. You want a balanced game, then please take a look at what your doing to lights in the game. No one wants to play lights because 1) they dont get enough damage to matter in tournys/pugs/ect. 2) we dont get any sort of bonus for capping in conquest OR capturing the base in assault. 3)look at the number of lights that drop per match in PuG's. 1 maybe 2 if your lucky. In my personal experience,(so im not speaking for all light pilots) 75% of the time im the ONLY lifght mech in the group...
This needs to change. Im asking you guys to look at whats been coming out lately. Assault/Heavy mechs in the last 4 months. We got the spider late last year early this year? That shouldnt happen. Yes, its cool that these great battlemechs are coming out and its all fun, but when you take a vast magority of players out of the game I.E. the light mechs and their pilots, you get an unbalanced "lets see what kind of stupid alpha build we can make" game.
Please PGI, do light pilots a favor and show some love. We play just as hard as the other guys, all we want is the recognition for it.
Because it is all about the money and nothing else with the way the pricing is heavier the mech the better the profits will be.
The phoenix pachage demonstrates this well, only the most expensive package gets you the largest mech.
The MC pricing scale for hero mechs is 75MC per ton of a mech so the flea hero would be 1500MC while a hero atlas would be 7500MC thats 5 times more.
No real surprise why there is
1 hero light
2 hero mediums
4 hero heavies
4 hero assaults
Even if they sell hero light mechs in bundles of 2 or 3 like they did with the fang/flame it is still a worse sale than a single illy or firebrand. Same goes with MC sales on normal mechs.
Hopefully we will get our day when the speedcap is sorted out.
