So far, I've only sold the Battlemaster 1S because I hated it. I don't have a desire to repurchase it, but it is true that future balancing patches can either enhance or destroy a mech's viability. I think I can wait until the C-Bill version is released.

the end stuff is already in the game..how?? the files are there to use the mechs...people are playing with those mechs so i dont see the reason why they cannot allow project pheonix owners to sell or repurchase the mechs they were entitled to with the package..

and what made think to have the ability to repurchase them?? well i was not expecting only early access to the mecs, i thought that i will be unlocking the mechs as well.. and thats my thought only

because the back end for the market is not there. That is code. That is why you see them roll out Hero, MC then Cbill, each requiring a new patch, for new code. Not attacking or belittling you on your thought, just honestly first time I ever heard of the concept was your post. I assumed that if I deep sixxed them, they would be unavailable until general release. Note I don't believe, as you said, it specifically spells that out anywhere. Just in this instance my assumption was more better than yours. Next time, I could be wrong, lol.

but thanks for clearing it up

How is the OP or others failure in reading comprehension the devs fault? I read all the info in the FAQ and basic announcement posts (it was the October update.)

I do realize PGI has had some communication issues but this is all peoples own hands. Read better. Books are good.

There isn't a facepalm large enough for the OP.

Getting the basics is enough if and only if you have not elited out another set of mechs of the same weight class.

In other words, you should have kept them until they are all officially released.

So, if you bought the PP as a new player w/o having elited out 3 mechs of the same weight class, then those other variants are crucial to accessing the master level grind.

please do show me where it says i wont be able to repurchase the standard variants??? i would really like to read it so that i can only blame myself for missing the stuff..because as far as i know it only said that "you can sell the standard variants"..so if i can sell them then i should surely be able to rebuy them as well...

neither for you...

[Pariah Devalis]

To be clear, in my case, I never assumed I would be able to purchase them after selling them. They were basic'd out, however, and the basics were reset along with my GXP pool upon selling them. I'm pissed that it has almost been a week since I sent my ticket in and I still have not had a reply.

I'm sorry, but where does it say that you can buy them at all? And it isn't like it is hard to check before you fail sell your exclusive mechs for no reason. Are they in the store? No? Guess I can't buy them.

Clearly, because all operations are reversible. Once you spend XP on something you can get it back to spend on something else. And once you spend MC on something you can easily return it and buy something different. Oh wait, no you can't.

While I am not smart or willing enough to host pictures online, it does say it on the Project Phoenix page.

Open up http://mwomercs.com/phoenix, click on the Battlemaster picture and look at the bottom right of the pop-up.

[seymourbalzac]

First off, why would you sell one of your mechs? It doesn't explicitly say that you can rebuy them so my first instinct would be to keep them until they are released to the public as a precaution. Even then there is a simple check you could have done, go to the shop and see if the mechs are there for you to purchase, if they aren't then clearly you can't buy them so this is your fault dude, it helps if you think before you act.
