Each day is a sale... look how late they got this posted? Dude... just run with it LOL!

[NRP]

Wow, this is some unfortunate pooch screwage. Is it legal to drink on the job in Canada?

Anyway, I would guess the mechs are 30% off and the patterns/colors are 50% off. Mechs are higher ticket items, so they wouldn't be discounted more than a cheaper item.

And once again the players are filling in the blanks. MORE INFO PLEASE. That's your job, after all.

Dont just create a poster with a few coloured squares, some mechs and "30% off". You need to say exactly what is on sale.

Y'know, a community manager might be able to do that for you... Oh wait.

Edit: Complete and total agreement with Grendel408, two posts above mine.

Might be worth trying to follow such examples of player generosity. It seems to me that these folks who are paying you seem to know more about running a business that you guys do. How is that?

Certain jobs such as Hockey Players, Toronto Mayors, Bus Drivers and now apparently PGI employees are known to lack in the sobriety department

[Grendel408]

Who needs to be sober to do their job right? I'm usually not LOL! Actually, matter of fact... I do my job better while intoxicated... but I live in California so there might be a difference between me and Canada... regionally that is. Edit: Also... keep in mind, PGI... that I rely on these event postings for my unit... if you'll notice I tend to keep my unit website updated on sales and events for MWO to encourage my team to support and/or invest in MWO... please shoot your marketing manager, give the dude a raise or something... this sale started at 10am but wasn't posted until well after 2pm PST. (edit... typos... I hate typos! LOL!)

I need timely feedback. If considering a Constructicon themed paint job should I go with Moegi or Xanh?

The lighting in the current U.I. makes it very hard to eye ball what it will look like in game.

If you already own the Champion mech, do you get the pattern?

If you have MCs to purchase the pattern... yes, you can get the pattern. Nothing comes for free here... except the 4 Mechbay slots everyone started with

[ShadowDraconis]

The ad is backwards? I was going to buy the spider...I dunno anymore.





P.S. Can we get them for false advertisement?

Edited by ShadowDraconis, 28 February 2014 - 08:22 PM.

[Tesunie]

The name and timing of this ad makes me think the new assault mech is... the King Crab?

Catch of the day? Crab? Maybe...? (I can hope!)

[LtPoncho]

How many ways can you keep promoting the same old content in different ways? Luck as falls we get examples of it EVERY single weekend.

It's great that things go on sale and all but it's not what we truly want.

Is anyone really reading this?

It should also be noted somewhere, that camo patterns are restricted to selectable chassis variants. I just bought one camo only to find out it is stuck with my catapult. This thing is usually pointed out. Thanks.

[John Branon]

The Lime colors are still on sale, shouldn't it be the Orange colors by now?

[P Hocto]

You'd be mad to buy one of the champion mechs but I reckon I might pick up a colour or two... Cheers!

[Calamus]

30%? I don't get out of bed for less than 50% off these grossly overpriced colours.
