I got the candle yay....

Jump jets away!!!!!

[Garou Wolfs Haven]

I spit Coca Cola all over my monitor when I saw "Scented Candles". Candle wasn't enough? Nope had to add scented.Time to buy that smell-o-vision adapter for my computer so I can smell that candle as opposed to the gunpowder from cannons and missiles, as well as ozone from energy weapons. LMAO

if the ice cream was to melt as you heated up i'd buy that in an instant! but nope, still to expensive..

[Hannibal Chow]

oh joy, more pointless cash sink items, how about some actual content like maps PGI??!

[Grendel408]

PGI, could you bring back the third cockpit item... people like lights... okay, folks like my green and blue lights LOL! But instead of xmas styled lights, how about "rope lighting"? I like the fuzzy dice (and they are blue!), got me a couple other items here and there... but I would love to see something more worthwhile in the cockpit... 1000 MC for lights, I can deal with... 1000 MCs for a miniature punching bag? Excessive.

[Elric von Rabenfels]

Why... why are all these cockpit items so low-quality?
The models, the textures... just so low-quality.

Ah well, I won't buy them anyway.
But actually -selling- such low-quality crap... ridiculous.

1000 MC are you having a laugh? Don't get me wrong they are quite cool, but for that price NO way

And that's how they get you - when the item goes on sale for 50%

Marketing 101 - Milk the eager players, then rein in the not so eager players..

[Grendel408]

I personally wait for sales when buying MC related items... unless I'm really, really intoxicated that night and buy something full price (which has happened occasionally).

Right...you know what we should have in the cockpit where the panel could literally fry an egg?

A sundae....

Maybe it melts partway into the match

[XxXAbsolutZeroXxX]

This might sound silly.

But might not MWO's marketing team be more successful catering to specific demographics?

For example, in targeting demographics, future cockpit items -

1. Gun racks. With guns. Plan B, C & D for those instances a pilot must eject.

2. Boom box. The 3025 equivalent of a CD player / 8 track / cassette deck. Maybe, it could have the functionality to link to a youtube playlist & play your tracks in game.

3. Cockpit themes. The option to paint the interior of a cockpit bright pink if desired or customize with wallpaper tileset. This might sound heretical, and people might hate me for saying this, but I imagine an LGBT theme with a rainbow tileset might raise some eyebrows. The troll in me wouldn't mind seeing the reaction to this.

4. American flag, german flag, mexican flag, canadian flag, confederate flag, etc. A little hometown pride.

5. Rearview mirror. Or rear view camera allowing a pilot to see directly behind them.

6. A small monitor playing the 3025 equivalent of 'Fox News', CNN, et all. It could carry updates and statistics regarding community warfare.

7. A goldfish bowl with fish in it. A cat sleeping on the dash. People like pets.

8. Different textures for the mech user interface. Marble, woodgrain, carbon fiber, stainless steel, gold plated, silver plated, platinum, etc.

9. A marijuana leaf hanging item / bong in the cockpit. Hookah pipe, etc.

10. A small beer cooler or empty beer cans. Maybe a wine bottle for the victory celebration?

11. Slogans & posters. Some like to hang che guevara posters from hot topic in their rooms. I don't know if che guevara exists in battletech continuity. But I bet some would pay real money to have one in their mech cockpit. lol

Eh, nevermind. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore..

[Vermaxx]

Major free content / game state update is broken.

I don't care how cool this stuff is, tell PIG how you feel by NOT BUYING ANY OF THEIR DOO DADS. Not the new hero mech, not the champion, none of the cockpit swag.

Don't spend money on broken content.

Too creatively for PGI =\ But who knows ...

[Duke Hector]

and yet even MORE garbage to nickel and dime us with....

[El Bandito]

A ******* sundae? Really?

Why can't we have a beautifully decorated katana hanging overhead instead?

Or a kill counter. Like the one on bottom left of this video. People will throw their wallets for kill counter.

... a punching bag very nice, if some rounds didn't turn out quite well!

[Featherwood]

Incompetent slackers. Anything PGI have even done is low quality quickie. I don't why it is so, but it is just matter of fact. Sorry, even great art by Alex Iglesias doesn't help anymore. Please let some professional gamedev company to buy out rights for MW franchise, you've proven to be not capable to revive the brand.

Seriously, what is PGI's ratio of 'shite' maker's (cockpit items) to map makers??

[Appogee]

I wanted a working matchmaker, but dagnabit, a virtual ice cream sundae sitting in the cockpit of my nerfed Dragon Slayer will no doubt distract me from the fact that every lopsided match contains multiple disconnects.

yee ha.
