Nice deal I would say.

[Eglar]

Most of them are actually better deals then the C-Bill Package.

Not when Cbills are accumulated by playing.

Holy Champion Sale! Well If you want to make a bunch of c-bills for MC start getting those jenners! From what I hear they are the best deal for c-bills.

[Smudge504]

If the stalker was on sale I'd buy that straight away, but no real interest in the rest :-(

Time is money, so it makes sense for some to not have to grind if you don't have the time but are ok with spending a bit of cash.

Why no paint sales? I want to give you money but you never have premium purple on sale.

Now I am wondering if the Dragon champion is worth it.

Three AC/2's and two Medium Lasers packs a decent punch! Was a lot better before the damn AC/2 nerf, but still, it can be fun.

None of the champions really give you anything that you can't get with cbills. The only distinguishing feature of a champion mech is the xp boost, but xp becomes useless after the first few hours in the mech- you're probably better off getting the non-champion version and replicating the loadout.

The Dragon champion in particular is not a great choice- it was a decent mech back before the gauss rifle had a charging mechanic, but it with both weapons systems having significant drawbacks at the intended engagement ranges for the mech, it's hard to find much to recommend about it.

Not against meta. It just dies, horribly.

Thanks for the input. You just saved me 1275 MC... (I was tempted to do an impulse purchase and start working on the Dragon line).

I will convert to GXP instead!

Thank you. Based on what you and Aniviron stated, I will go grab a Dragon with C Bills and try it out instead. (That way if it is too annoying to play.. I can sell it).

Appreciate the input!

[Xoxim SC]

Thank you VERY much for the GXP conversion, especially after a double xp weekend. Much appreciated!

You can keep the champions >_<

Nice sale, and x2 GXP Conv is a bonus too! So, Devs... where's the usual cool sale art that comes with this post?
