Give us a statement on C bill earnings and I will buy a Yen Lo Wang.

They already gave us a statement on that. They said ''we think you were earning too much and we think now that the earning rate is about right''.

This means that a Hero mech now earns you approximately the same as what a non-Hero Mech earned you prior to the 30% reduction in CBill earnings.

It makes a 30% off sale on Hero Mech seem a little bit less appealing, doesn't it.

I got all excited when I thought it was a sale on little light hero mechs

[Zolaz]

Yet another sale of nothing I want. I guess they think that the FB should never go on sale. Might just hold off since the Phoenix package is coming out soon.

[Elizander]

It would be nice if you also discounted the relevant variants of the Centurion and Cicada at 50% off or higher to encourage people to buy the whole package.

Example:

Yen Lo Wang - 30% off
Centurion D - 50% off
Centurion A - 50% off
Centurion AL - 50% off

Then you go pick your least bought centurion camo and put it on 50% off too for Centurions then let people enjoy the weekend with a 3 day premium time sale.

Yeah okay, I'll pick up an X5 and convert some serious GXP.

[Koniving]

Statues... I wants statues. Why is it when I can't afford it that they come available? Why? *Sniffle.*
Had just enough for one. Was hard choosing between the Spider for my Spider, or the Raven for my Raven. I wound up choosing the Spider. It's got paint.

Woo Medium Hero Sale!

Oh crap, I've already got 'em... new medium heroes, please!

I concur. Hunchback hero? Trebuchet hero? I like the pattern the X-5 followed; rather than either a lore hero or a made up hero, it was an experimental prototype that was just too expensive to field c-bill wise. Experimental Hunchback? Experimental Trebuchet?

[Xione87]

Meh, you want to increase sales? Try a 2X Cbill weekend, i'm sure you'll sell a lot of new mechbays that weekend and it's a nice little gesture to make up for the massive earnings nerf.

But, why...?!

I won some cockpit clutter in the recent challenges, but I don't use them because they just distracts me from the battle.

[Risko Vinsheen]

This was expected. Was certainly thankful for the XP conversion sale. My YLW had built up quite a bit of XP I couldn't use on it. I'm somewhat tempted to get X5 but I'm not sure. Despite having 3 Centurions, 2 Blackjacks, 2 (formerly 3) Trebuchets, and my Founder's Hunchback, I've never dabbled into the Cicadas. Is X5 particularly recommended by people?

[Flyby215]

I have no regrets buying an X5 a few months ago; it sees very high usage in my mech rotation (apparently I'm helping MWO advertise their sales! Can I get a bigger discount please?)

Might, just might get a YLW since I've been on the fence for a VERY long time with this one...

My thoughts exactly.

Also the only one I like is the Nvida Farie which can't be aquired any more to my knowledge.

[Takony]

I waited patiently to get the Best Wang for my bucks, but ... cbill nerf seriously?
Well it's voting with wallets time.
Thanks for the GXP conversion though.

[Matta]

When I saw "Little lethal Mechs" headline I was very happy because I thought we are getting hero light Mechs on discount.



....


Then it hit me - we only have ONE (1 !!!) light hero Mech...

[Enkan92]

Bought the Wang 30min before this announcement... sour.

[Shiro Matsumoto]

Well... got me a Wang... quite the beast..

I always put off Mech purchasing til after the 10am Friday announcement, so I don't get caught like that.

[PoLaR]

Also waiting for the Firebrand to go on sale.

[MonkeyCheese]

Had a wang in the closed beta testing, and since im working on a cent-D I decided its too good of a deal to pass up. So no2 Cent for me.

Nice sale Anyone working on mastering Centurions should pickup the YLW... well worth the MCs.

Any brainstorming happening on the paint sale front Devs?

[Grothaus]

I waiting on the Firebrand aswell, ive leveled up my 3 Jagers to master almost and a have a mechbay just waiting for the FB.

The X-5 looks nice, i want to master a light class, not that Cicadas are lights, but my aswell be, id be using it like a light.. Cant decide what light mech to get though,... all the talk about ECMs being needed, streak missles... i want something fast/decent armor, decent offense and jump jets... guess i cant have it all

Only other mech i plan on buying is the Timber Wolf/Mad Cat, which is my favorite mech, who knows when they will introduce it though... btw, im looking for a good Clan Wolf group, pm me
