Oh, c`mon! Is that all your marketing? Look at Star Citizen - they bet on adult people and they got $20,000,000! You screwed all BattleTech fans and going for freshmeat that doesn`t really care about franchise and ain`t gonna pay you for this stupid colors.

This is true. You can make games for children and students (a third-person view, I have read carefully why it did), but they are asking for money on the game in the parents. How much is it? A few cents? I'm a grown man, he paid and able to pay for the game. But for what? The Gauss rifle with charging? Are you laughing? Multiple maps? Not a few of hundreds of planets? Can I still buy a lot of packs, but do not make a game for the eleven-year-old boys. And there were many children at a party in San Francisco?

Am I the only one that seems to be having trouble buying blue paints? They don't appear to have the sale prices applied to them... perhaps I've horribly misunderstood something?

Highlander(s) now with Tartan. Ha. HA! It is ... appropriate.

Funny, in the ad I first read "Gold Blood", which sounded ironic.

Only the Camo Blues (of which there are 3) and the Tartan Blue (1) are on sale - not all Blues.

No offence, eh? Please, try looking at someone's location stamped right there in plain sight on their forum profile before making assumptions. He's clearly from Montreal so my guess is that english isn't his native language. How many languages are you able to speak, not to mention read and, or write? Please, do me a favor and write your sure to be witty comeback in french.

The sheer idiocy in these forums has become so ridiculous I wonder why you folks are still playing this game, let alone continually posting in the forums. It must make you all feel real good trying to belittle other's. The majority of you posting can't even write a sentence or a paragraph without editing them, and even then the grammar is still humiliating, but at least that much is good for a laugh.

ove bababoke's response is a prime example.

Ok, so to clear up a few things:

1) The comment about English not being his native language wasn't meant to be criticism, or a thinly-veiled insult. I genuinely thought it wasn't his primary language, precisely because I noticed that his location was Montreal, and also because of his use of language in the story. I said that I wasn't sure because simply being from Montreal doesn't guarantee that English isn't his primary language. The other explanation is that he's simply a bad writer, but I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. So your hostility towards my comment is not only misplaced, but also makes you look kind of stupid.

2) As already stated, my intention was not to belittle, but to merely improve on what was already written, because I felt it had merit but was slightly 'hazy' in execution. I wanted others to appreciate the story more, and felt that I could provide a better 'version'. The ideas from what I wrote all came from what he wrote.

3) You asked for a witty retort in French, so I will try to satisfy, although my written French is not as good as my speaking:

Je pense que tu a des problemes de sante, car tu est apparament tres investe emotionellement dans cette discussion, un discussion qui n'est pas important quand on pense que c'est un discussion sur UN JEUX VIDEO. Je suis sur que un docteur va pouvour vous aide, ou p'etetre un psychologue? Surtout arrete d'utilise ton ordinateur _maintenant_, et va dehors, il y aura surement des belles filles entrain de s'amusez dans la soleil, et tu te sentira beaucoux mieux a les regarde et ... p'etetre parlez avec eu? Au revoir, et bonne chance!

Also a little note in German:

Ich habe keine idee. Ich bin Einzelkind. Ich bin ...er...thirty?... yahr alt.

Ok so my German is not great, but I tried. Have a nice day bro.

So, am I understanding this correctly, that the colors/pattern unlocks for MC are ONLY for the mechs in the sale and that's it? Please, oh please, tell me I'm wrong. I would hope that if I spend real money to unlock a color/pattern I would get it forever on any mech. I mean. Right?.......

oh. And btw, PGI/IGP (whatever) please don't ever try to do any creative writing like that again. It was horrible. It was awful. I was barely readable. It made virtually no sense what so ever. Hire a professional next time and stop "Mickey Mousing" this damn game.

[M4NTiC0R3X]

Nothing for me to see here, I requested CBill discounts 6 months ago and still encourage it because people need to play before they decide to pay, generally. How cool would it be if you took MC only items (colors) and made them temporarily available for CBills? I understand you need to make money but.. It just feels like your squeezing every dollar before people can play to achieve what they want (colors 'n camos) when the new UI + rank + achievements get here. Also, I had to read the story several times to get the gist of it, cool and catchy but not intuitive if that makes sense.

80% of the people i see here need tampons or manpons..Can we focus on the topics related to a thread and try less complaining. If we gave positive feedback it would be less to scroll through and probably be a better chance for someone developing this game to see them. My two cents: Everyone just stop buying mc, mechs , everything until they make the prices on mc reasonable and give us sales that are actually useful. Sales of cosmetics and mechs you can get free with cb are fine but it seems to be one of the majority. Give us a deal on mc bundles and hero mechs please or at least make all patterns and colors default to match all chasis of the one chosen not just for this sale.

[Tiamat of the Sea]

....I can't find the 'dislike' button.

[9H3X6]

I'll share what would get me to re-up on another 3500 MC.

MC discount
Mech bay sale.

Been at 4 MC for long time. 10 mech bays full and spent quite a lot of cbills on different builds for them. Even with wasteful cbill purchases on extra modules I've accumulated 150 Mil cbills waiting for either of those 2 types of sales. Glad hero mechs, colors, and cockpit trinkets keep MW Online but I am not interested in them. I am interested in playing some different mechs though.

33% Mech bay sale!

My 4 MC worth.

[JSmith7784]

How come every time they make a sale or announcement all the trolls and "founders" come running to bash PGI? I swear it seems like they are just waiting for a dev to post anything so they can cry like little spoiled children. This is the thing I hate most about this game and the main reason I don't post much.

It's a sale and he tried to come up with a story to make it fun to read. If you don't like it or enjoy it move on. If you don't like the sale then don't buy anything. As always the "internet/forum tough guys" have to post negative things and throw "low blows" at the devs.

I like this game, sure it needs improvements, but they are doing a better job than 99% of us could. If you don't like it then go use your great ideas and make a better game, oh wait you don't know how to... Hmmm....

I'm sure the devs already know this, but most of us think you're doing a good job. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing what you have coming next. Thanks for all your effort in bringing the mechwarrior game back to life.

Hi, I intend to purchase stk-5m but the mechlab display 2261mc instead of 500mc. Is it just me or maybe because I am from different country or it only happen on specific time?

First.. welcome to MWO, or at least posting on its forums! I believe that the 2261 MC -is- the discounted price, the 500 MC is either for the Tartan camo pattern or one of the colors that is on sale.

And while I can understand some of the discontent, the RVN-3L is a new mech and chassis for me, so I will probably be snapping one up for use as a dedicated ECM/TAG spotting platform. For the poster wanting the Raven as a gunship.. there are other lights built with that in mind.

A) I know I am a NOOB!
I click on the advert for the Cold Blood sale and I get taken to this thread.
C) For my purpose, a pointless thread; an inside joke thread. Cute and as helpful as Honey Boo Boo is.
D) I want to consider buying the collection. There is NO INFORMATION on how to do that. DUH!
E) Why does the link, trying to sell me something, bring me here?
F) Failure IMHO. I should be pulled into spending my money not frustrated and repelled.

New, brash, and annoyed.

Save your money and be thankful for the delay in rash spending!

If you cashed in your free day of Premium Time during your cadet drops, you have 14-16 million Cbills. This will easily dress out the 3F, generally considered the best of the Stalkers.
