Great sale thanks again!

[Mordynak]

This would be nice if you could clearly see in game which colours were on sale. The new Camo Spec options are a mess.

As a light pilot there is pretty much only 1 mech I hate... An Oxide with a damn good pilot in it. In the right hands they are a great anti-light light mech. @^(%&#%%@$# streaks! >.<

And its no small irony that the greatest counter to a oxide, is a nother anti-light mech: not having jump jets severely hampers this puppy. (That and those oxide pilots that don't have bap)

So, is anyone else disappointed that PGI didn't release the Couldron Born with this sale?

As an Irishman, I find the marketing for this sale offensive. Irish Blood isn't green. It's varying shades of brown. Like beer. And whiskey. Or orange, depending on how traitorous your bloodline is.

This Irishman disagrees. Our blood IS green. BUT you CAN tell whose full of malarkey by the color of their eyes!

[Rubidiy]

this is actually a good sale! Anyone can buy an OXIDE and Dragon Slayer + mechbays for them for less than 6500 MC, which is 30$. PGI is so keen to make us buy old hero mechs (DS was on sale four or five times already), that I'm quite sure, we're gonna have something really good in one or two months. La Malinche was a disapointment though... still waiting for IS mechs capable of kicking some Clan butt.

[Voivode]

This is ridiculous! That is the EXACT color scheme of my Yen-lo! Now they want EVERYONE to ride around with MY Yen-lo paint job?

You just made an enemy PGI.

At least until the shots kick in and I forget about all this...

Too bad the Hero Banshee was based off of Mexican lore instead of Irish, coulda put it on sale.

Oh well, always Cinco De Mayo specials.

I know, as a kid my dad used to tell me stories about the banshee from Irish fokelore, and they scared the hell out of me...

Well I gotta pick 2 out of 4, but which 2? Hmmm

[Laconicus]

We need a tribute Mech. The Paddy O'Rielly. Its a Paddy's day only Mech comes out in the game looking brilliant dressed to the nines. As the game continues the armor starts to fade and the screen starts to blur. Half way through the game you can no longer use comm's and text speech starts every statement with "Another thing". Towards the end of the game all ranged weapons are shut down, its head butts and fists only people. All penalties for attacking your team mates are removed as long as the player ends the attack with "I love you buddy lets get a pint".
Finally the screen starts going black and the player can only stop the shutdown by singing various songs "Poorly of course" that get rolled out every St Pats Day.
Just like St Pats day this Mech is open to anyone of Irish decent, which on St Pats day seems to be everyone in the bloody world. In fact if a poll was ever taken on that day I am sure it would show the world is 100% Irish with no other race, but I suppose that's the way I like it and why the world loves Ireland.

Enjoy St Pats and have a Kilkenny for me

A quick google search will show you "St Pats" is a correctional institute in Ireland... Also, its either St Patricks Day or Paddys day.. never ever St Pat's day, i live here i know.

So I just checked Amazon.
A string of 100 lights is $4.80 on amazon.
500 MC is about $3.
Finally! The in-game Christmas lights are cheaper than just buying them on amazon and putting them around my monitor!
Woo!

I extend an apology about the incorrect use of the term St Pats, but in Australia we shorten many terms into an easy to use slang, with no offense intended. But I fear while in Ireland you may term it by the correct usage as eluded too many non Irish use the term St Pats especially in OZ, though Paddys is also frequently used. But being the fact its your countries thing I apologize and will correct the many drunken Aussies I see in the Pub come Monday. The sentiment remains the same though enjoy the day

I think they missed the boat on this one as well. I put up a suggestion thread as soon as "La Malinche" was announced http://mwomercs.com/...shee-hero-mech/

Or even just a list in the sale post. The hard decision should be to use bullet points or dashes, not whether to include a list

Alex would have to do so much work to make that mech look good, but it would be appropriate. They could have put the MC Banshees on sale though.

Too bad it's only 35% discount on those heroes. The Oxide is one of the heroes on my wish list. But I'm going to wait until they come with a 50% discount again.

? These were on sale a couple weeks ago.

(Not that this matters, but...)

Both actually. During the recent weekend promo with the champions, greens were featured one day (with the Spider, IIRC). I successfully resisted buying one then, despite hovering over the button several times. I had no such strength yesterday. :/
