Until April 29 at 10am PDT, get 50% off the regular MC price of the Atlas AS7-K, Hunchback HBK-4J, Centurion CN9-D, and Commando COM-2D. Grab them in the Store!

[Rhialto]

When you do such sale, why not consider 20% off the regular C-Bills too? Simple suggestion.

edit: sorry was thinking about myslef only, I won't buy any standard Mech with MC so that's why I was saying a rebate on C-Bills would be welcome but I know if you discount both at same time you will sell less with MC.

Now there's an idea. Too bad they'd have to make the rate so awful it'd take forever to make enough MC to buy anything.

So far, PGI has maintained a strict "RL money for MC only" policy for accounting reasons. I'm sure they are thinking of ways expand the economy but it wont be for us. It will be for their profit margins. Selling MC for GXP or CB etc probably wont happen.

I was wondering why I saw so many AS-7Ks today. Whenever I see an Atlas it's usually a D-DC.

[Deathlike]

I would virtually never recommend the Atlas-K to my worst enemy... maybe.

There are better dual AMS options (well, the Stalker-5S and the Thunderbolt-9S for starters) and the K needs another hardpoint (ballistic or missile, ideally the latter) to not stay as the "worst Atlas".

Why can't standard mechs be discounted for cbills?
Players with cbills win (cbills either brought or actually hard earned by gaming) and players with mc win?
I don't see a problem tbh

[Calamus]

I echo the other sentiments asking why you never offer c-bill discounts on mechs. While we're at it, c-bills sales on engines, or other equipment would be welcome as well.

I would actually really go for a challenge that earned you a sale ticket, or some sort of c-bill gift card redeemable for % off equipment. Perhaps winning a certain number of matches, or earning a certain type of achievement, or obtaining a certain stat in a given time period.

Customer feedback: I will NEVER spend real money (MC) on a regular mech that is available for c-bills. I will bide my time and play the game until I have the c-bills. I spend my money on hero mechs, premium time, and previously on packages like the Phoenix. Even the Phoenix, I only bought because it had Hero mechs (well, you have them in the Champion category) and premium time.

[WonderSparks]

Meh, I already own three of these 'Mechs, and I'm not interested in Hunchbacks, so I'll pass on this.

[Grendel408]

Would it be possible for this sale to be posted on time vs. 8hrs or so later for a change? You guys used to be really good and getting these posted in a timely manner... doesn't this effect the time availability for international players as well? I mean... some of us folks don't get off work until later in the day and can't take advantage of the sale (by that point it's already posted) but what about those online earlier that could be taking advantage of said sale?

Heck, I'd even go for a left torso mounted energy point to make it more unique. Having 3 body mounted energy hardpoints could make for some interesting builds (plus I like lazorz )

Even better, make it 1 energy slot in CT, RT, & LT. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Because that would run counter to their profit margin.

Dunno I actually really like my K, glad I bought it a week or so ago I run it more than my D and generally do better in it as well.

(Mind you not as much as I like my DDC but still! more than my RS or D)

This is a very friendly message/suggestion to IGP. It demonstrates some bad, player alienating or company-alienating monetization strategies that frequently occur and gives suggestions on things that encourage players to happily spend money without having to have advertisements and sales thrown in their faces every few days.
