[Blissful Negligence]

You guys are doing it right!

[St0neFire]

Yes, bummer that I could not use it at a time of my choosing, but it's free so, no worries ....

[xxxdragoon]

[Alianton]

i played two games today (about 2-3 hours ago) and didn't get my free bay and premium time even though i logged on on wednesday and thursday

[Unicronisis]

I was about to complain my premium time I have banked up not activated activating and say WTF is up with that no this explains everything

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

Can is be so bold and ask for 2 mechbays and no premium

[Sable Phoenix]

I appreciate the gesture, but having the Premium Time activate upon login makes it functionally useless, unless I just simply don't play the game at all until I have an entire day to devote to playing. A day like that rarely happens, and since you don't do Premium Time the right way and only allow it to run down when we're actually logged in and playing, I get maybe 3 hours of actual Premium Time.

On a side, but related, note, other F2P games handle this kind of thing much better than MWO does. Even Marvel Heroes, which is a pretty fluffy F2P title, handles this kind of thing better than MWO; the purchasable buffs will only run down while in an actual combat area, and will freeze when you're in a hub. You can log in all day and never run out of your buffs until you're actually in an open area or mission instance, actually using them and gaining a benefit from them them. In MWO, on the other hand, the vast majority of the Premium Time that we spend actual money on is completely wasted, because nobody can play the game even close to 24 hours a day. Where's our Premium Time pause button? The only Premium Time I've ever had is the stuff that came with the Founders', Phoenix, and Clan packages, and until we get some way to toggle our Premium Time on and off at will, I won't ever bother buying it by itself.

With the way you have it set up right now, you might as well not even bother giving away that single day. Next time, either make it banked, or give us something else that's actually valuable.

G'day,


Regardless of where you stand in regard to clan mechs or the direction of MWO development, I feel that a big thankyou should be extended to the developers and that they should be commended for generating goodwill within the mechwarrior community. The fact that this is not the first time that this sort of thing has occured, only reinforces my own personal positive opinion of the Pirana's team's efforts in supporting its customer base.


Regards,
Draughluin

Because this is a game where if you invest a lot of money because it's a series a lot here have grown up playing, it would be offensive and down right unacceptable for them to be treating it like a beginners dev team game. So much is still missing in this game, yeah the clans are great and definitely add to the game flavor but after a while people will grow bored as it's the same game we have had since the beginning of beta pretty much.

*shrugs* not sure why they promised so many things that they just not able to do it just makes people angry when they promised an amazing next gen mechwarrior game but then due to unfortunate events it's just another arcade mech shooter with the name but very little of what makes it a mechwarrior game. Without the single player you know a story, and an in depth mp for fans to enjoy this game is just one big money grabber.

Is it fun? Yeah but too often it's short lived with poor team mates or general arguing in the community. If we had more in the game we would just be more focused on playing it than complaining about whats not in it considering how much a lot of us has spent. They have made more than enough money to give us the promised features. It's not completely pgi, it's that re*tarded igp who just wants to see more money out of it and has no respect for the franchise.

Thanks now release some clanners for c-bills earlier so I can fit them

It is auto-activated upon login, unfortunately... like the previous premium time giveaway.

For whatever reason, they haven't been giving away banked premium time for a while.

Some people have lots of banked premium time and don't want to add more too it. They would be unable to redeem their free day without activating months-worth which they don't want to do at this time. At least this time around, they gave us a few days to claim it, and a specific date when it would actually start and a fews days notice that way.

[Commissar Aku]

So new question, what is with not letting bank my premium time and then releasing it at night? I mean did you go out of your way to make it so people had to sleep thus wasting all their time? and what about all those people who can't get on every single day? Is it your policy to **** your customers? Oh right your PGI and have no idea how to run a decent game economy...

[Lazerspoon]

^ Man, it seems anytime PGI try to do something nice, somebody has something negative to say about it It's 24 hours of premium time and it's going to have to be released at night somewhere due to the stupid shape of our planet it is not possible for the premium time to be released during day-time everywhere at once, sorry for the inconvenience. Secondly just play a few hours and enjoy it, most people don't have work/ school/ commitments on the weekends so it makes sense to release it when it is. On the other hand, feel free to enjoy your free mech' bay whenever you like.

Hey I would like to be able to bank it with my other 24 hours so that I can use it when I can get on for more than 5 min. Do something nice? When have they ever done something nice? All they are trying to do is not catch flack because their servers went down for almost a full day while they promised to have them up in 10 min and it took 4 hours. I want to be able to bank my time still, or how about the 50 people on my friends list with jobs who couldn't use it at all because they gave a day of warning? Or maybe the fact that one day of premium time costs what it costs me to get a month on a pay to play server with premium time? Or maybe your opinion doesn't matter because you are a dirty Scum Bird Liao? Either way I want the time in the bank next time, I think if they treated their players better and made things a bit cheaper they would keep players longer and sell more stuff.

Are you trying buy my loyalty and affection?
