Why would that require the game's servers to be taken down?

'Cause MC Sales got coded as something for Black Friday only?

But now, while MM = FUBAR, they needed something to make it up to us with …

they have never done an MC sale outside of "Black Friday", now after the rage about "premium matches" they drop this? can someone say damage control?

Black Friday's MC sale was the second MC sale, actually. All through the Christmas holiday season for 2012 was MC sales, too.

No mechs on sale this weekend then?

technically everything is on sale this weekend, and better than normal (timewise) as the sale lasts until you decide to spend the MC. Dollar value breakdown is here.

Celebrating something thats so heavily bugged?

To be fair a) they couldn't crash test it until it went live in the real environment and b ) they did put fixes in as rapidly as they could.

Alright, PGI. I'll take some of your MC, on faith that you'll give me something I actually want to buy in the next few months. Don't let me down.

You must be new here..................

This is a pretty amazing sale, other than the Black Friday/Holiday sale this is pretty much a first for such a huge sale.........

Actually not true for several reasons, this isn't healthcare, we didn't need to install it before we saw how it works. Even ignoring basic internal testing a public test on the test servers more then 4 days before dropping it and then another test following that testing the bug patches from that would have gotten pretty much most things shaken out. And we all KNEW 3/3/3/3 was going to fail in matchmaker just from basic logic (a flat tonnage cap was much more workable).

That's not a pat on the back good job situation, that's a well, you messed it up again didn't you, but hey you're making good at least situation. Not the same. If you bought a car and the brakes went out on the way home I doubt you would be hugging the salesmen just because he pulled some strings to get them fixed as soon as possible.....partly cause you'd be mad, and partly cause you'd be in the hospital after hitting that bus...............

THIS is what I signed up for and why i have purchased MC's in the past to 'fund' this amazing product.

2 years on we are still fighting with bugs, stupid priorities and sales but a lack of REAL content (still 3 game modes? where is the promised drop ship mode at launch?)
And role warfare? yeaah maybe..

CW is meant to be the game changer? .. I doubt it

I'll be back when I see new game mode announced such as dropship, or if I see in game screens of tanks or infantry I'll probably shit bricks.

Until then, I'll keep playing MW4 vengence for my mech fix.

By the way, if someone could count all the N.O.P.E.s and "never agains" and post that after this thread dies, that would be great...

But do I need another 30K MC when I'm going to have a few dozen mechs dropped in my account in 6 weeks?

Dunno. Maybe for premium time.

Try contacting the support - I've heard that they sometimes help in situations like this. And certainly - it won't hurt to try.

[condor1X1]

maybe IGP should Give Some MC to every one for free ...considering how bad they messed up the matchmaker and will not fix it until a week afterwards....meanwhile i see quite a few 12mans taking advantage of this....nice job


i used to like this game too

[Ripper X]

Arg. I bought 6500 MC four days ago thinking that MC only goes on sale during Christmas time. Welp I am not spending that much again for awhile. Gonna save up for Christmas and get it on sale.

Send a real polite e-mail to support …

Can't hurt to try, but there might be a disconnect between PGI/IGP support being to help with that on in game purchases vs out of game purchases of MC that involve an outside payment processor. Good luck.

Can't hurt to try, but their discretion may be limited to in game purchases vs purchases from third party payment processor, good luck.

Thank you!

[GrandLocomon]

I want to buy MC, because I like to buy hero mechs. But while hit detection is so poor, I can't justify spending money on a product that doesn't work in the hopes that it will. I'd rather pay full price MC, full price heroes, as I have done in the past, while the game is actually in a playable state. And not playable as in I can log in and launch, but playable as in I can do about 75%+ of the damage I should be doing. That's all I'd ask at 300ping. Good sale though, damn it.

[fleshwoundNPG]

Possibly the last $14.95 I'll ever spend here...





Unless I start seeing some IIC Unseens/Reseens/whatevers.
