vs
6,500,000 cbill pack @ 4000 mc = 1625 cb/mc ?????????

Tell ya what. Bring me with you when you launch the gold mech. If possible I'll cbill a Uller to bring with. After an excess of 800 spent on the game so far and now between jobs, I haven't got the income for clan packages. I'll see if I can back you up (or at least catch a glorious moment to put on youtube).

And yeah I agree that's a pretty nifty oversight on PGI's part and/or a great find on yours. This is without having done any changes to said mechs, correct?

Math is sound and in line with what I've calculated myself. I am in agreeance.

Yes. No changes. Purchasing the champion with MC and then selling it "as is" for cbills.

Now watch as PGI increase champion mech prices, as opposed to decreasing C-Bill bundle prices.

(Psst. If it says anything, I'm still working on my mechs and their elites/masters. And it's me, Koniving! O_O Mr. 103 mechbays and 97 mechs with 30+ sold. So xNoSkillz here has evidently been at it in the field. o.O)

This would make me very sad...

In the patch feedback I did a more in-depth post here:
http://mwomercs.com/...e-is-math-here/

If you read the bottom... I hope they just increase the c-bills per bundle to bring it in line with the current in-game economy. I think they either didn't think, have trouble with math, only used the regular mech cbill/mc costs @ 1250 cb/mc give or take without taking into account champions, or they are intentionally trying to trick folks who don't do math into buying less cost effective packages... either way, an easy fix is to increase the cbills per bundle.

Unfortunately, it seems like PGI will just ignore this without even so much as a "Functioning as intended" comment to even acknowledge that they read the post and understand the words in it.

I have 100% mastered mechs... with almost 1mil gxp left to master any future mechs... At the time of this post 137 mech bays with 136 mechs. A few are repeats that I had two builds for, liked both, and couldn't decide between them.

A piece of Terrain that is classified as Concealment only. Heat vision, night vision, and regular vision are unable to see mechs through it, however your radar can still pick up targets through this type of terrain, and your weapons pass through it unobstructed (So do your enemy's weapons). Some old forums I've read call these "trees". I'm not sure what that means, but I wish I could toggle them off in-game since they serve 0 real purpose other than obstructing my view when I'm trying to shoot something. -Maybe that's the point?- Who knows for sure.

Thanks for spending the MC on this, xNoSkillz. Evidently you have the income, but not everyone would have used it for community benefit in a similar manner.

Russ will clearly see the champion Cicada is under priced and needs to increase to adjust for that expensive XL engine (which is why it has such a good deal).

Actually, I don't think that this is really an oversight. It is more that they probably didn't expect anyone to do the leg work to see if they could make more money going in a different direction. Bryan said something about it but, really, do you expect them to look at all of the mechs? Furthermore, even if this isn't the case, it speaks to the psychology of people: we're more apt to do something if it is staring us right in the face (ie, leading the witness) than to explore to see if there is another way. In that case, it is a marketing ploy on their part to squeeze more money out of the system and you can't fault a company for doing that when they're in the business of making money.



PS> Cicadas 4 Life - recognize!!!

[Shlkt]

OP's math is solid. The deal is even better when certain champions are put on sale. The SDR-5K was recently available at 35% off, for example, which improved the conversion to ~3300 C-bills/MC.
