Hey there... I have been a loyal gamer who has been here from the start. I was in the closed beta way back at the beginning.. I shelled out $125.00 to support this game, and I have bought the Overlord Package and others... many Hero mechs as well.

I feel as if I have spent a great deal of money on this game, supporting it and standing by it.\

I took a little break because I got burned out, and now I am back.. to see that UI 2.0 is slated to be released. That is a thing to be happy about I believe.

But now also you have released Clan tech and you nerfed it all to hell.

Why did you cave in to these hardcore Battletech guys who are strangling your game to death with their stickler rules and so on? Why can't you just let it run free and be what it is?

Also, why are your prices so insanely high for Mechs?? $240.00 is a lot of money... $500.00 for a single mech?

You do realize that the economy is {Scrap}, gas and food prices are high, unemployment is at an all time high, and Obamacare is wrecking the healthcare industry?

I think you are looking at Star Citizen and going a little too far with this. The majority of players will not afford your prices, and the ones that do most likely can't afford it either but are going to do it out of sheer desire for a new toy.. kind of like a midlife crisis sort of thing.

In any case I think you should re evaluate those two things, remove them and relaunch them properly. Set your prices back to $30.00 a Mech as it was before.. and buff all Clan tech so that it is vastly superior to Inner Sphere.

We want to be able to put six AC-10's on a Clan Mech and so on. Its the way things are, lets not sacrifice these things because a few staunch Battletech guys will get upset. I hate to put it like this but its true. More pew pew and explosions and less tabletop.


What is happening with Star Citizen is a phenomenon that is not to be repeated... it will not continue forever.. it is just frustrated gamers expressing their disgust with the industry ignoring everything we ask for...sadly it will be ignored and instead be seen as a business model to copy and squeeze money from.

In any case, I rest my case. And I hope that someone reads and listens.
Its a shot in the dark ,I know.

1: ><((((*>
2: Really? 4 Threads?
3: Did you realitze that the mechs in that package are 30$ a chassis? (10$ per Varaiant)
4: Leaving CT true to TT will worsen the already enerving high alpha meta, or even make IS obsolete
5: Ok it might be better if there where 2 Packages or the "a la carte" mechs would be 35-40$ instead of 55$
6: The Gold mechs are Rip-Off ... ehem Vanity items. YOU FREAKING DON'T HAVE TO BUY THEM. Don't loose 40k $ in a casino and brag about how the casino has ruined you financially. If you can't afford you don't have to.

The forums lagged and I clicked post a couple times and then it shot out 4 threads. I dont see a way to delete the others...( I also don't think he "nailed it" so much as danced around the statements. )

Do you really think anyone expect for hardcore fans would still pilot IS Mechs if CT would be OP? Do you really think an 6xAC/2 Jager should be obsoleted be an 6xUAC/10 Monster? (Remember the 6xPPC Stalker) Think about it, what would the TTK for an Atlas be with that kind of Armament? 2 sec.? Is that really a game you want to play?

The financial aspect is debatable but it is not terribly off from their previous sales. (Expect the Gold Mechs of course)
I think the greatest issue for the majority off people who brag about the pricetag is, that the all time favorite Mech (something MAD) is in the 210$ Package (or 55$ "a la carte"), so everybody who want's one is in front of a giant paywall or has to wait till end of 2014 for the c-bill version.
