It requires a US Pay Pal account.

You will get both promotions as long as you meet the terms of the Pay pal - Karma Koin promotions

One question.... Are the rewards stackable or do you only get the one that qualifies....?

No. They answered this question over in the Karma Coin thread. The levels are not stackable.

after spend all my MC for cockpit items at the last sale, this is a good opportunatey to grab new one

[Scarall]

Why is the hero/champion list not sorted?
Searching in that list makes my eyes bleeding .

[Brienne]

So, extra bonus for US Paypal deal. Ok.

Where is bonus for non US players ? Are they welcome in game ?

[mad kat]

Excellent just what i needed to get the Locust Hero. Perfect amount of Cbils.

[Satan n stuff]

I was just beginning to wonder if I would get to spend that last 10.000 MC before the next MC sale, I guess I better go check which of this year's Hero mechs I don't own.

[Sebly]

So if I happened to be super compulsive today and immediately upon seeing "20% bonus mc" went and bought a $50 pack only to realise after the fact that I didn't get the mc because the sale doesn't even start for two more days am I just totally screwed?

Sent a support ticket in but everyone in my clan says I'm probably stuffed. Which I find rather unfair, shouldn't advertise sales like this unless they're already going. It's not like you're taking pre orders for mc.

Hopefully PGI can find it in their hearts to credit me the extra 2400 of their fake, easily generated credits.

They are not fake. They are a currency unit that represent intellectual property and hard work perfomed by a large team of speciallized professionals. Let's try not to undervalue something just because it is not physical.

About your problem, I think you should try to reach an agreement for a refund, even though you should read the explicit dates all the time and confirm the purchase before commiting.

[Sebly]

Ok fake was the wrong word. it is a legitimate form of currency that's only good for one thing and it was created by them. I just wanna buy more mechs, it's not a crime

[NinjaTom]

I thought that the black Friday MC deal meant it was offered at a discount price?

Near enough everyone went on about it, but looks like I miss interpreted it as a percentage off.

not bad though just thought the deal would've been different.

Just to take my customary negative stance on everything.....

This reminds me of a meme I saw on facebook the other day. It's almost as if PGI has taken a crap on your bathroom floor and is now charging you admission to come look at it.

[NinjaTom]

So is this the official sale of the year or will there be another one after this one?

Just want to be sure in case there is a Christmas special on after it where I can get MC at a discount.

I feel MC is a cheat, not in game but in terms of value.

1. Why when I spend real money to get MC I cannot use it to buy items I want? Why must I pay more money (and have a surplus of MC) to buy packages to get the items I want... haven't I already paid?

2. $50 doesn't buy enough MC for two assault mech chassis when the game mechanics forces you to buy 3 for levelling... really?

3. If I buy something for MC that can be nerfed into uselessness at anytime (Highlander Heavy Metal), I can't refund it for MC nor any sensible amount of Cbills despite the useless pile of junk costing quite a lot frankly.

Is it just me or is the piss being taken here?

Sorry until you sort this out i'll be opting for the Free part in F2P.

The Dark Caste would like to extend to the Community that the Clan and Inner Sphere Black Markets did in no way contribute or promote these sales. We will also respond to the recent upswing in dislike of people having to work on the Thanksgiving Holiday in the U.S., by not having any sales or specials for the weekend and also giving our employee's the weekend off as well as a Holiday Stipend.
Thank you for your time and patronage. "Without you, our customers, we would not be here!"

[Sam Browne]

Forgive a simple question... As the Hero/Champion mechs are 35% discount individually... I don' suppose this discount being reflected in the Bundles / Mastery packs?

-1 for Karma / US paypal only.

[Khorn1]

Event???Where???I see only laughable "sales".You really think that people go spend their money to exchange xp to gxp???Laughable!!!!!All "hero" and "champions" mechs are not worth even 1mc.For 2 years i playing there is no any event or sales with C-bills. From all mmo i play, there is no game with such "dont care about players".Only who putting money in the game will feel comfortable.Money rules the world.What a shame true.Untill it will be true , all mmo (like this one) will be stay sh*t.Everyone must be equal, and money should not gave another supremacy over others.

Greed is good, my friend.Until money rules the world, everything will be not fair.3-chassis leveling is a total disaster in all mmo games ever. I dont know what happening in mind of those who made this, its still mistery for me.

While I agree that MC price mechs are overpriced (at least for my financial status and perspective) there are ways of turning them down considerably - you just need to be strategic on your purchases and take advantage of the price fluctuations. If you invest now in MC, you'll get more 20%, making the price per MC go lower. If you accumulate that with the ocasional 50% rebate on hero mechs, you get each mech for a fraction.

Same applies to Mechbays. For instance, last Black Friday I bought MC that was later spent on buying around 30 mech bays a few months later when they were at half price. You just need to wait and hold the currency.

As for spending MC on regular mechs, that never crossed my mind as I can get them through normal play time. Same as Champion mechs.

Last but not least, MWO is an ongoing project and needs regular funding to keep working and innovating. F2P games need people thay pay - from small spenders to the big whales. Otherwise it wouldn't work. MWO business model is not Pay to Win but Pay to Save Time. Which is perfectly legitimate as they don't prevent you from reaching high competitive levels.
