PGI... I had an idea with this Server Challenge you've issued... and I think it would benefit both the players and sales in PGI if: When purchasing a Hero/Champion Mech for MCs (cause that's the only way)... we get a Mechbay included with that purchase. No doubt this has already been suggested many times over... but think of the people more willing to purchase a Hero/Champion Mech if the additional Mechbay came included? Ever think the reason some folks don't purchase is because they cannot afford both the MCs required for the Mech and Mechbay?

[Mike McSullivan]

Absolutely great challenge! For the mech it could even have been harder...

have the YLW if I can get this mech, I might as well buy the third one and finally master my Wang.

One should always strive to be master of their own wang.

Is this a nice gesture? Yes.
Does this fix everything that has ever been levied against the playerbase? No.
Was this overdue? Yes
Is this yet another step in the right direction? Yes.
Is this welcome? Yes.

This for me was akin to a Double C-Bill weekend in terms of incentive. I've been of the opinion that I'll wait until PGI fixes the sheer clunk with the Mech Loadouts, gives proper sorting options of our mechs, streamlines the UI usability and gives me a way to remove those bloody Trial Mechs from my Mech List.

For me, UI 2.0 has been a lot of small problems that has had me gnashing my teeth at the system, things that have driven me up the wall. But this challenge had me overcome pain in the butt it is for me to grab those 5 wins.

Got those 5 wins quickly enough and the CENT was dropped into my inventory practically instantly. I've had enough time with a Cent in the past so I just stripped it for parts and sold it but this incentive is a good boost to newer players that don't have options in their mech list. The Champion Cent is also one of the better Champions that PGI has made.

[KnowBuddy]

Very very nice. Thank you very much for the opportunity and incentive.

[NextGame]

excellent idea, even if you have a cent a, you can still sell it for a decent number of cbills and get a free mech bay/components etc.

Nice, a New Mech to work on, all I need now is 2 more mechbays to put 2 more cents in.....or sell 2 of my Mastered Trebs to replace with Cents.

Alternatively, if you already have mediums mastered you can just basic out two other cents to master the champion.You will still need an extra 'Mechbay for that, but only one. Or just do it for the 'Mech bay if you don't think the variant nets you extra XP after damage / assist bonuses and whatnot.

[Almeras]

thank you.

I like that after the 5 wins the mech is delivered right away cool beans!

Now these poor souls responsible for such an insane offer have finally and irrevocably resorted to throwing not just freebies at us... but GOOD freebies!

Is this out of desperation or as a plea for forgiveness? Or did someone simply get the lay of a lifetime and is still glowing with happiness and satisfaction? There is no way to tell.

Man, this ain't even fair. I know you probably meant it to be funny, but with the run of emotions around here, of late, it's just too soon.

Free mech? Who cares. Fix this half broken game and deliver your promises. Thx.

We got one here.

[Gjordsen]

Fantastic. Got me playing MWO again. Thanks PGI.

My jaw. I think I’ve lost it.

I think I found it, one fell down here into Hel's soup - if it is yours you might want to apologize before the next time you risk dying

Lemme guess...you probably think I should plop down $500 for a gold mech + Masakari package in honor of this? Like I said...it's a nice gesture but WAY overdue...

I'm not referring to veterans. This could have done a lot of good for the game in terms of new player retention...say...around the "release" of the game???

Better late than never...

Fixed that for ya

I think you ought to avoid backhanded negativity when they do something great

[Crohnic]

Very classy on PGI's part. I'll buy two more 'Mech bays for leveling up and will strongly consider putting the Yen-Lo-Wang in one of them.

[SPARTAN 127]

Is the 5 wins in a row? or just 5 wins overall?

[Gooner]

Very nice gesture, thanks PGI.

So far 7 losses in a row but all have been really good games. like 9,10,11 - 12 loses. Close games. Everyone on the team talking. Working together.

Maybe the offer of a free mech temporarily increased the player pool enough so the MM kinda works now?

Hmmm.. Stopped counting but still haven't won a single game. This is what drives me away.


First win: Base rush on River City Assault.

overall...


I really hope they keep this as one of the first achievements... ok maybe 10 wins for that but this would be a cool thing for new players

[Rubidiy]

Finally something noob friendly. Hope, that this is just a first step in making this game user friendly and more enjoyable.

[RG Notch]

Very nice.
