well i hope ur right i really dont need more medallions i already have for with my house logo on it and loyalty boost why on eart i would need another one when i rarely using it.

But the flame camo now that is nice and i hope i can have it now i would be even a bit sad if i wouldn't get them XD
i would love to chose my house color instead the medallions.

well according to the Devs you can stack the loyalty bonus, which may be useful once loyalty does something

[Earl White]

What I want to know, is how much are the packages worth in real money terms, if you add up all the premium, mech bays etc, anyone done any calculations?

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

TALON ($20) ... is approximately worth 3880 ... or $15.52
STORM ($40) ... 13475 ... $53.90
TALON + SABER ($50) ... 22070 ... $88.28
GUARDIAN ($60) ... 27060 ... $108.24
STORM + SABER ($70) ... 31665 ... $126.66
OVERLORD ($80) ... 46625 ... $186.50
GUARDIAN + SABER ($90) ... 45250 ... $181.00
OVERLORD + SABER ($110) ... 64815 ... $259.26

Maths here:

Spoiler

The average cost for a standard mech variant is about 37 per ton.
The cost for a hero mech is 75 per ton.
If I recall correctly, premium time is 2500 for 30 days.
The best deal for is 25000/$99.95 (~250:1).
Each mech comes with a mech bay (300 )

Stretch Goals:
3x Premium Paints: 3000 or $12.00
1x Cockpit Item: Maybe 500 or $2.00
1x Camo Unlock for each chassis: 1250 (I think) or $5.00 per chassis

TALON:
3x Locust (1500, 740, 740)
3x Mech Bays (900)
= 3880 or $15.52

STORM: ($40)
TALON (3880)
+ 3x Shadowhawk (4125, 2035, 2035)
+ 3x Mech Bays (900)
+ 1 Cockpit Medallion (maybe 500?)
= 13475 or $53.90

GUARDIAN: ($60)
STORM (13475)
+ 3x Thunderbolt (4875, 2405, 2405)
+ 3x Mech Bays (900)
+ 1 Cockpit Medallion (maybe 500?)
+ 30 Days Premium Time
= 27060 or $108.24

OVERLORD: ($80)
GUARDIAN (27060)
+ 3x Battlemaster (6375, 3145, 3145)
+ 3x Mech Bays (900)
+ 2 Cockpit Medallions (maybe 1000?)
+ 60 Days Premium Time (5000)
= 46625 or $186.50

SABER: ($30)
+ 3x Griffin (4125, 2035, 2035)
+ 3x Wolverine (4125, 2035, 2035)
+ 6x Mech Bays (1800)
= 18190 or $72.76

Edit: fixed one error ... maths is hard

I think you may be stretching just a bit.

Um........your maths on the Overlord+Saber package is about $20 off..............$80+$30=$110.............

[Wintersdark]

For reference, if you buy your MC in packs of $30 (which I do), these amounts change to:

Talon: $17.84 - a loss of $2.16
Storm: $61.99 - saving $21.99
Guardian: $124.48 - saving $44.48
Overlord: $214.48 - saving $134.48

Saber: $83.67 - saving $53.67

So, an Overlord/Saber pack is $298.15 worth of stuff at my MC rate, for $110.

Fixed ... Thanks

Edit: figured I'd save space in the forums by just saying this here ... I double (and in some cases triple) checked all of the math except for the "XX +$30" = cost w/ Saber package ... when you pointed it out, I remembered something my high school advanced math teacher used to tell me about things like this ... you got the (algebra, or whatever) right, but messed up the sixth-grade arithmatic.

Another 10%

10% of how much?

[Belorion]

Well that's the question now isn't it?

If I were to hazard a guess.... I am thinking the top of the top bar is around 10 million, but I really have no clue.

That's the idea, they can move the bar anyway they want and not have embarassing questions as to not meeting a goal they never announced. Even if the amount taken in drops due to loads of refunds, they can still simply move the bar up to make the sales look successful. A company that isn't afraid it won't make a ambitious goal would publish that goal, one that is worried and needs to artificially inflate sales uses a blank goal.

[Nekki Basara]

Almost more telling is that they've had plenty of time to put some hard numbers on that graph since people noticed and mocked it but even with web-dev communications in here those numbers remain a mystery. Curiouser and curiouser.

It's actually not curious at all when you factor in how many refunds they must be processing. Their vow to improve communications was simply their position at the time. Remember that whenever they say anything, it doesn't mean anything.

[Kinetico5]

So, can I buy this in sections? LIke, if I were to buy the Locust package at first, and then in a week add another $20 to get the ShadowHawk package. That'd be easier than dumping $110 all at once.

Yes. You can upgrade to each level as you go if you want. $20 now for Talon, $20 later for Storm, $20 after that for Guardian, etc. etc. And $30 at any time for the Saber pack.
