I just want to add my voice to the opinion that the colour sales are a bit of a joke. I like varied colour schemes, and the camos etc and I am willing to pay but the amount they charge for a single colour seems petty and a bit desperate (which does not inspire confidence).
I have bought numerous colour/camo schemes on WoT and Warthunder and had been mostly satisifed but the way its done in this game is a bit meh.
And reading the frothing response from Rekohunter and his "ilk" when people question the logic of selling overpriced single colours when an implicit promise is yet to be realized, reminds me that some people will always just accept what they are told and lack critical thinking skills.
Yes a promise was made Reko, the promise of an in depth game with a context and warfare beyond simple death matches. So Reko you can point out that its a free game and there is no product but most people who post here and complain about the state of the game are paying players who are paying towards the promise of a realised MWO world, they are supporting the developers.
And as their supporters they are entitled to offer constructive criticism.

From Wiki on Envy - "In English-speaking cultures, envy is often associated with the color green, as in "green with envy"

These guys are a worry.

Red? I was hoping for gold- according to Russ that colour is 'extremely cool'.

I set that one up on the tball stand for you.

[Cavendish]

Why are you not selling entire ranges of colour? This 250-1000 mc per shade of red is rather odd.

This is a free to play game! No one forced you to pay a dime, and what you did pay for you got!

You want this you want that, but dont seem to have any concept of cost to develop and maintain a game like this, nor the time it takes to do it right.
Developers cost money weekly, a good developer cost even more. i have seen a few say they spent around $200 or a bit more over the time they have played the game. Your $200 doesn't even pay ONE developer for a week.
Servers cost MONEY to maintain Monthly (not to mention a sysadmin or 3) Your tiny $200 over a 2 year time doesn't cover the cost of ONE good server for a month, or even a week of a system admins salary. And we have not even gone into the cost of design teams and software engineers, marketting.... ect

one thing is 100% certain, if PGI does not have revenue, you are never going to get new content because they will not be able to pay the developers for it. I swear all the bitching about sales, and lack of content has gotten real old. If you don’t like the game , it holds nothing for you, not enough content then move the **** on, the game and community will be better with out YOU.

Whats the point in funding developers who don't develop anything?

Bought some reds with black friday mcs. So i am 70% off. That's fine for me. i hope there will be a loyalty (grind) bonus to those off us...

Was that a ripple of new content that I just felt from under my rock?
Oh, nevermind, it's an excuse for content. Colours..... Again.....

[Firewuff]

seriously what th hell peopel. We had a new map just before xmas, all the phoniex mechs recently, several new hero mechs..... you really expect these guys not to have an Xmas holiday like every one else....

I wish they would unlock patterns across all mechs but aside from that, I like these sales

[Psimon Drake]

I used to drop money on this game. I bought lots of Premium Time and the Phoenix Overlord package. Until they fix the Joystick behaviour to function like MW4 I won't be spending any more money. Sales or no sales.

[CrashieJ]

NEEDS MORE GRAY

about 50 more shades

Well the point is and those who supported the {Surat} PGI and IGP - is to support them getting their island with Founders money and the subsequent sales of MC, Camo, Mechs, Hero Mechs is to fund the monorail that will get them there woo hoo.

Good to know. You've said that over and over, and it is also in your signature. Now please go away and make room for more relevant content. Seriously.

U mad bro?

[AngryAngel81]

To be honest, i love MWO.

I like also that the Designer Team does constantly new stuff.

BUT!

Please we dont need every week a new (or same Mech) in different pattern. We would need a larger Scripter Team, people that bring the Game forward and not 25? Design Modders that make Pattern here Pattern there...

Please Admins... Read the forums.. or better... play some rounds and actively ask the people.

Cause MOST times those that complain here are not the big masses.

I state here what my Merc Unit, what befriended Merc Units and what I myself feel about the game.

We play it... but lost a lot of people since this "new color here new pattern there moneymaker" stuff became overwhelming above the forwarding of the structure of this game.

I really hope that an Admin read this here, understands it and also that the whole PGI team understands.

You have a big base of MW fans... people that have usually money... but dont milk them with ****... give them real content.

AngryAngel81

P.S. if questions come up... i am also willed to chat or even teamspeak with an PGI member to sort details. I love this game and want only best for it.

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

PGI, your community is restless.

Even worse some have turned there backs to the game.



I'm sad that the company hasn't been given a clear reply.
Be honnest.

You know, if you're right I think I would have to give them a little bit of respect due to humor.

It kinda hurts me that they are putting the Gauss on the same level as the flamer though...





The flamer is way above the Gauss.

Brought the colours for Applejack, just not the pattern.
Still browsing over the selection of reds, although I already have all the red paint I want.

Lol, so true.

[BLOOD WOLF]

Um, you guys do know that money doesn't actually equal progress, its just the means to do so. shoving 5000 dollars isnt gonna boost their ability to fix what needs to be fixed.

[Mexicutioner46]

90 Days. 90 Days after open beta launch I was supposed to have CW. Skip to two years later. I get CW in 90 Daysx3..... I was in during closed beta and even forked out $60 on a very unpolished game. Then Overlord package and phoenix reinforcements, thought hell, maybe this last little cash pull will push them over the mark and get me CW... Alas, I was naive and mistaken, as two months after Phoenix, CLAN INVASION was announced. The Clans are invading our death matches for what? People who claim FREE are morons, as it was the founders initial by-ins as well as the Phoenix packages buyers that funded this game, on the false promise of CW and UI 2.0, DX11, etc.

N.O.P.E.
