Damn not even as bad as when the Stormcrow and Dire Wolf was released.

Maybe because it was so popular a ton of people sprung for MC to get them already?

The most popular 'mech in the franchise would have had a bigger immediate impact is what I was guessign.

Wont be as bad as the Medium queue has been over the past few weeks (Free Cent, Shadowhawks on sale and Stormcrow all came out around the same time) and i also think many paid A la carte prices for these mechs already. Not wanting to wait to join in on the fun.

But it is still early for EST Prime Time players....

Probably sticker shock to be honest. It is really kind of hard to come up with 45-50 million C-bills all at once. Hell I just managed to get back to 62 million after the Dire Wolf came out and that was only because I Ala Carted a Stormcrow and Timber Wolf and didn't have to by either. Even then I have roughly 55 million going out to buy a WH on 11/25 and pay outfitting costs. Then I have to still outfit my Mist Lynx next week plus start saving C-bills for outfitting my Hellbringer, Gargoyle and King Crab, plus but two additional King Crab Variants and then start saving for 3 Mad Dogs. Damn this is alot of C-bills needed in such a short time.

Anyway, after 60 million for the Dires, followed by around 40 million needed for the Crows, all within about a month, coming up with another 50 million has to be difficult for most people trying to pick up these mechs with C-bills.

The vast majority of Timber Wolves running about at the moment are novices, and are wading into enemy teams expecting their new found 'OP' toy to destroy the enemy for them. Luckily, they make fantastic target practice. My targeting computers were starting to get a little rusty... :D

Last I checked, the Timber wasn't available for C-Bills. It's been MC only.

Ok, I just went in and checked, and it seems it IS available for c-bills now. Must be a new thing.

Yeah I didn't think I could of purchased one either until that Halloween event happened probably played 80 games during the event. It was fun because c-bills were coming in at a nice rate also free MC didn't hurt either.

What have you been smoking??? Ummm yeah sure you can, if you have PT, a hero, and willing to play for 7 days straight, 12+ hours a day. BTW..... These are real numbers....not a guess on how long it will take to earn 45 million C-bills.

New c-bill rates......lol, is that what they are called?
