Sorry, it must have been my misunderstanding back when PGI was selling Founders packs and they linked to an Extra Credits video on micro transactions and how to price them reasonably and stated that was the model they were trying to emulate that they were actually referring to the overpriced $80 monocle and thinking "phffft! that's nothing we will sell gold skins for $500".

Sorry but this whale has reached his limit. Not because the money isn't there but because of the utter ridiculousness of the packages, (since when do clan mechs need variants?) and the utter lack of progress over the actual game itself. I was trying to give PGI the benefit of the doubt but after the Sabre Package came out I decided to take a break from forking over money and I am thankful that I did. I cannot support this game anymore with the endless shilling of useless junk and lack of CW.

I am really disappointed because I did have hope, thank you PGI for dumping on us again.

Or a game that wasnt terrible

So let me get this straight, the Clan Invasion, which you (PGI) have been touting for almost the better part of two years now as a key feature and something which is going to be amazing...has been downplayed and muddied to the point of just being a large mech release? Are you serious?

You've got some explaining to do, PGI. This seems to me like a cash grab and not at all what you promised or even hinted at that the Clan Invasion would be. So tell me, what part of scamming people out of this much money is the Clan Invasion? Sounds more like Wallet Invasion cause your higher-ups are pressuring you to generate World of Tanks-level income already. If you keep this up, the game is never going to generate even a fraction of the income that World of Tanks does.

To me this seems like you (PGI) saying "we were planning to do the Clan Invasion on time, but the game and server framework wasn't there, so now instead of actually giving you the Clan Invasion you all asked for and we promised, here's the Mechs. Now, where's your money?" Now the interviews of late where you have said that Clan Tech will be balanced with IS Tech is starting to make sense but not in any good kind of way. Clan Tech being balanced with IS Tech now, to me, comes off as less of a balancing issue and more of a quick-release "we want more money" scheme.

So let me ask you (PGI) a few questions concerning this whole shindig...

1) Where's the details about the Clan Invasion? I see a bunch of pandering to try to invade our wallets, but zero info apart from a horribly short and underwhelming teaser trailer on a current map. Be honest: are we actually going to get any meaningful in-game content with the release of these Mechs or is the Clan Invasion just going to be an overhyped big Mech release?

2) Whats with these exclusive modules? That sounds like Pay 2 Win territory to me which, when I paid for Founders, you (PGI) swore up and down the game wouldn't be Pay 2 Win. What are these modules and why have you abandoned yet another promise in order to fuel a Pay 2 Win model?

3) Why $500 for a gold mech? Are you guys high? I can get a PS4 or an Xbox One for that price. I could buy that new juicy AMD video card that I've been eyeing up for a month now. $500 for an in-game digital item is an insult to your player base's intelligence and sends a clear message to everyone that you only care about the money in our wallets and not the passion in our hearts. For $500 I better get front-line to take part in historically accurate (in BT/MW terms) for epic 4v12 Clan vs IS battles and, on top of that, I better get a hand-painted, high-detail large resin statue of the Mech I bought, possibly even gold plated for that price.

4) Where's information on Community Warfare? Where's information on UI 2.0? I'm not asking for due dates (not that you guys would keep any promises anyways) but for god's sake I at least ask to be kept up to date that any money I spend on this game isn't just going into a funnel into some rich exec's pants and not back into the game I'm playing.

No Thank-you. Price is way to high. The only Clan Mech I really like the Timber Wolf, anyway.

Awww how unfortunate that it somehow ended up more expensive than the Direwolf! You'll just have to buy that more expensive pack to get your favorite mech, huh? Oh well, nobody could have predictahahahahaha

[Lord de Seis]

I seriously hope no one is going to give them money for this. They haven't even delivered 1/2 of the game they originally said they would.

$240 for 8 mechs? Talk about greedy.

Hell just the ability to make "clans" or w/e would be a big step in the right direction. Oh, and one thing i never understood but why do I have to pay for colors? seriously, i just hope in the futer painting my mech howerver i want withought having to pay for it comes to pass.

I wounder how Targeting Computers will work... cant wait to find out

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

PGI/IGP I'm glad you watched CIG and Star Citizen's funding ideas and tried to make it work for you.

Now let's try actually making the game you promised us 2 years ago.

[Fetladral]

Hey guys. good thing it's still open beta. When is launch?

I...I dont even..
i mean...**** it?

guys?

**** it?

no? how bad is this really? is it rotting the skin from my bones? its certainly not ruining my gaming experience....

and further more, me n my buddies have been having SUBSTANTIALLY MOAR lols since they changed up the spawn zones.
Simple change, did allot.

my gaming experience is filled. and it shall be further gorged in a weeks time, when more **** is rammed into my gullet for free.
will i dig it? hell yeah.

dont give **** to the company for expensive clan mechs. we all knew they were expensive.
and dont give **** that they havent brought out UI 2.0 yet, cause ya all saw it and hated it and made them change it again.

just give em time, ffs.

He sort of has a point, except for the fact that people have spent literally TIME OUT OF THEIR LIVES telling and expounding upon cool ideas for how they want the game, INNOVATIVE FIXES for gamebreaking cheese, etc etc etc. Not yelling at you Nekh, you make a vaild point, but I think most of us are simply fed up. Sale after sale after sale they take out money, but really where's the content we keep getting strung out for?

I think I'd rather get ****** than ever give PGI another dollar

[Dihm]

[DragonsFire24SS]

"shut up and take my money" will not be playing this time around...... This is just plain ridiculous!!! I've always been a fan of clan battlemechs, but I will not dish out any amount of money for anymore mechs for a game that has not changed in game play and an overall campaign. This game has become extremely boring!!!

[ScrewCityChris]

New game: I'd rather get ________ than give PGI money

GO!

And mechbays, but hey, no one is forcing you to buy anything, you can still play those for free when they are released.

Guys And Dolls, chill.


Really, relax. PGI hasnt Hax0red your accounts and stolen money from you.
They have,infact, given you the ability to purchase something far before you'll get it,
and they finally put to rest everyone doubting the clans making into this game.
AND, nothing anywhere sez they wont have pressies for xmas.
plus faith.
have it.

also, dont say, "im sick to death PGi, sick to death, and i wont stand for it anymore!!"

because frankly, its a game, thats fun to play, and free to play.

Dont likey? then bail.

The problem is how greedy or desperate pgi acts. How greedy can someone be and ask for a 6 Months debt after pppl have been dissapointed while pgi cant keep their promises?

The way this packages is offered and the timing is hyper silly. What does pgi thinks? that the ppl who like to play mech games are silly cows to milk? i mean reallly - how brazenly must someone be to act like that?
