Celebrating something thats so heavily bugged?
Wow.

Private matches seem to be off to a wildly successful start. I only pug, but just because I didn't receive anything this patch doesn't mean other people don't have something to cheer.

Must be nice for PGI to read all the forum rage and then watch the dollars fly in as soon as there's a sale.

and i just got MC right before this

Rule of thumb I've learned the hard way like yourself, never purchase anything before 10 AM PST (1 PM EST).

Had similar slaps in the face from other companies (Nexon especially). Literally 1 minute after purchasing an Anaconda Silver (revolver) for myself, my second account, and gifting one to my friend (at 10 dollars each for 30 dollars total), they go on sale for 4 dollars (12 dollars total). I kid you not. No patch or anything. Just head back to the lobby to change servers and find another match, and BAM! In your face ad, Anaconda Silver on sale.

I've been holding off MC purchases for an MC sale for quite a long time. It seemed a good way to save money as MC sales rarely happen.

Damn you, PGI! Now I have to buy some MC, even though there's nothing I'm particularly interested in at the moment.

Yeah I only purchase during MC Sales...but I don't have anything I really want...but at the same time I know it will be December before they do this again.

HECK YES!

[DarthPeanut]

Not going to complain about a sale, thanks!

Wait... you're celebrating the thing that was broken when you launched it, and which you turned off within a day...?

UI 2.0 is for things bought in game.
All MC is bought through the website by a separate company called PlaySpan (http://www.playspan.com/new/) which runs ultimate game card (http://www.ultimategamecard.com/). UGCs can be used to purchase MC as well so you could pre-buy the cards and wait for deals like this to let the money flow.

Why would that require the game's servers to be taken down? It should only need the webservers that process the money in conjunction with the servers telling/updating the client (hey, this guy bought X amount MC). That shouldn't require the game servers to go down.

I just had some extra cash drop in my lap on Wednesday and was wondering how to use it.... Now I have to decide between my two favorite charities... MS Society or PGI... MS Society or PGI... A little to each? I hate these kind of decisions.

Haha. I recognize this. Very annoying. Like that piece of bacon that was full price last week. Now 50% off.

Dam bacon sale.

Somehow they're tied. I don't know the specifics. Though yes you'd think it'd only be the webservers. (Maybe they share the servers? It is a small company with most of its money funneled away to IGP).

[BARBAR0SSA]

Buy MC and then wait for clan MC purchases...MWAHAHAHA

Also why not just do a 20% off clan mechs....yeah that's great idea an give MC credits to guys like NoSkillz that have purchased already! Win win!

[Mark Brandhauber]

no complaint about an mc sale (except i already bought mc on wednesday ), since they took the servers down there has been a big amount of players dcing before the start of match, one player in my group said he never got in game yet on my screen he was a 0 ping in the start up screen

[Selene Lunaris]

They do this about two days after I get 50usd worth of MC. Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeergh. Why do you do this to me, PGI.
