Nerfed into the ground? That means it was a very useful Mech that was rendered useless..

So, you own a... what? Was it something that relied on massive pinpoint alphas that is now subject to ghost heat? Because that's actually pilot deficiency if you thin ghost heat made any Mech "worthless" due to ghost heat alone. Was it a poptart that... oops, nevermind - those aren't useless; they are top of the foodchain. It's not an awesome, dragon, or centurion because those wern't nerfed to uselesssness (but are useless on their own accord). Not a light mech because none of them were nerfed to uselessness. Not a jager, catapult, or any other heavy because I can't recall any of them being nerfed to uselessness..


What nerfing was this that took a viable Mech and made it useless to a competent pilot?

I'm surprised that there aren't any rabid PGI hatred on this thread yet. Here Boys! Here! You forgot a thread! C'mon guys!

Now now, you don't want to get in trouble for egging them on again.

They may complain that they want the day-glow colors to be on sale. So everyone can see them and well, LRM'em.


But that would be a hole new thread or added on to another one.

I am still hoping one day for a bright bright pink.

Would look awesome in the Hot Rod pattern along side my Hot Rod Black

Try it.
Own it.
Tweak it.

Wait wait wait wait wait, i think you mean trebs and not cents. (even with jump jets the hitboxes on trebs make those things death traps, and i like me some trebs)

Centurions are still damn good mechs, it's just since srms are piss poor at the moment(practically been a year) so they have fallen out of style. Besides, the hit boxes on them still make them monsterously durable even with XL's.

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it?

[Roper Band]

Camo on hero mechs should be able to be changed!

[M4NTiC0R3X]

Do you know what literally just crossed my mind? It has plenty in the past but just now as I log in I'm dinkin' 'round w/ the camo spec on my spider and I think to myself... Gawd I hate the awful default camo... It's mostly one color..

(This is where PGI says we want you to hate it so you buy something else)

HOWEVER, I know you guys are so busy with your infinite wisdom... but some camo patterns would be absolutely amazing gankenstein...

'Jus sayin

[Kissamies]

Hmm, everything BUT the tiger seems to be half price for Shadowhawk. Can you guess which pattern I want?

I have taken a habit of purchasing a tiger pattern for chassis once I master them.

[WaughGoff]

So, the camo pattern is on sale for the Jenner D(C):
1. If I bought it for my Jenner-D(C), could I use it on my -K or -F?

2. Do I have to buy it for the D(C)? Would it not be on sale for the -K? What about the -D?

[WaughGoff]

As a general question about camo pattern purchases:

If I bought an unlock for 750MC, with my Jenner-K, does that unlock the pattern for my Griffins, Locusts, Thunderbolts? Or is it only for my Jenners?

Camo patterns are either one shot for one specific chassis, or permanent unlocks for all non-hero variants you own or will own of that chassis.

You can buy it for any of the variants, and so long as you get the perm-unlock you get it for all.

You do not need to own the (C) to do so either

Only for the Jenners - but for any Jenner you do or will ever own.

[WaughGoff]

Thanks Shar,

That begs the question then, why would I EVER buy an unlock? Unlocks are 750MC, one shots are 75MC. Even if I sold and rebought the Jenner chassis', I would have to cycle through all three of them more than three times to make it cost effective.

ETA: If I included the champion chassis, I would still have to cycle through them two and a half times.

I do a lot of repainting my mechs.

I do not have very many different patterns - but what patterns I do have I take off and put back frequently.

If they did not have the unlocks - I would either not be using patterns at all - or have spent 10x plus what the cost of the unlock was/is.

[Koniving]

Mkay. So guys while this sale is still going on...

Koniving, on 09 June 2014 - 03:48 PM, said:

Okay so while this sale is still going on.. I could use new patterns.

So what mechs would you want to see (included in the sale) and what patterns? Bring some of your friends in to throw some ideas down. Screen cap your mechs with said patterns perhaps? Lets see what you've got, 'cause tomorrow the sale ends.

I've allotted enough to get 4 patterns (and already own many patterns so you might not be as 'left out' as you might think if you suggested something I might already have).

Please, throw your ideas either here or in the perfect screenshot thread.
Samples.

Throw in your pattern requests today!
