This sale sucks...

[anfadern]

Maybe it is time for another challenge soon like the "Assault And Conquer Challenge"
I really enjoyed that!

[SubGenius23]

how about MC sale and/or adding value to phoenix package to encourage people into buying/upraging (and as a way to say thank you and maybe a little sorry, heh;))? that would be nice...

Paint.....give me paint, PGI!

Yeah, I was hoping for some kind of achievement challenge over the long weekend, or at least some cheap paint. I need to spend some leftover change. Guess I could mount some of those "priority artillery strikes" for the lulz <sigh>

[tuffy963]

Boy this is an underwhelming weekend for MWO. I was hoping for a challenge or a tournament. Oh well, guess I will play something else...

[Shiro Matsumoto]

Im...underwhelmed.

I still hold onto the slim hope that one day they will do the sensible thing and reduce the NORMAL price down to less mind blowing levels so people don't have to wait for their mechs to some day maybe cycle through the trial by fire sales. To put it into perspective the non-sale prices of those three mechs is ROUGHLY $4.50, $5.90 and $14.28 (CAD) the sale prices are more reasonable but what I would expect them to be all the time.

Especially if you look at the MC prices of the AWS-9M and AS7-K both of which are priced by equipment rather then just the weight, so their mc prices are jacked way up by XL engines. (AWS-9M comes to about $21.36 and the AS7-K comes to a mind boggling $25.37, a full six bucks more than the popular AS7-D-DC and only six bucks less than the current most expensive hero mech, Heavy Metal.)

------------------

Also camos and paints should always be part of the TBF rotation (Especially as some of the "Premium" paints cost about $4.62 )

I didn't realize that half off was a bad sale.

Looks good to me.

[Enigmos]

'Bad' goes along with the apparently popular mindset that unless you are complaining you are weak, together with the delusion that saying everything other than you is bad makes you appear better than everything else.

Nobody can criticize the critics, after all. Fortunately I am just that nobody.

Don't recall them selling the top tier mechs that everyone wants in these...ever.

These are the ones that aren't selling in the first place. For the collectors that have to have every mech they're a good thing.

It's kinda strange how these Trial By Fire sales don't come with colors or camos on sale for the mechs involved.

Only the Victor would be remotely be considered useful... since I'm not a fan of the non-3L Ravens and the Cicada-3C.

Overall, it's a really bad sale when you look over the totality of what is being sold.

This!

[Panthros]

With the price of the Inner Sphere mechs, I am not looking forward to the price of the Clan mechs. The prices are what so far have scared people away from playing.

PGI is mad at us and sulking ... no special stuff for Labor Day.

Any sale is a good sale for someone. But yes, this one is sucky for me personally.

[RacerX]

Underwhelming for sure. It's Labor Day weekend! This is the last big holiday before football steals us all away from weekend Mech combat. Where are the Labor Day colors, cockpit items, camo sales, and hero mech specials?

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

New sales are always good, but...

I think that paint and skin sales are the most enticing by-and-large, and MC sales for holiday weekends are probably a good idea. Cockpit item sales are also more interesting.
