“But I don’t own a Hero or a Champion!”, you ask again. Well we've got you covered, friend!

• All* Hero ‘Mechs are 35% off!

That awful table makes me think that responsible person was just too lazy to check for all abbreviations and simply typed 'HERO' instead of who-cares-what-we-sale-here of some-stupid-letters-of-some-stupid-robots. Shame on you, unknown lazy PGI ex-employee.

[Zordicron]

How does the value of 35% off a hero + 35% off champion compare to the normal price of the mastery packs? Anyone do the math on that?

The 30-days of Premium Time makes the Mastery Packs a very good bargain indeed!
2500 MC right there.

My impression too. He started with correct CN9-YLW, DRG-FLAME, DRG-FANG, COM-TDK and soon he got bored and started to write STK-HERO, HGN-HERO, CPLT-HERO, ON1-HERO, etc. just get rid of that boring task.

Mastery bundles are straight 50% of the total MC price of all the parts.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

Excludes the only champion I want right now

Never mind still a great sale

[KaaaBLAMO]

This is a great sale...but any chance we could get some clan 'mechs added to it?

Shadowhawk hero is saddened by this.

Only one I wanted...

Thanks for this. It is sort of what I thought, but hadn't actually looked at the prices. last I looked at the mastery packs, It looked like "buy a hero, and a champion, get a 3rd mech and mechbays and PT for free" or there abouts.

I find this sale still very good however, as some of the chassis don't have a mastery pack, and some of the heroes have come out after I already have the other variants, like the Pheonix mechs. Mostly, I was curious about the BJ and Banshee heroes, as they have mastery packs and I have'nt bought any of those yet.

If this was a 50% off sale on Hero Mechs, you would've had me here. I'll wait.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

With the 20% bonus MC it works out at about 46% off. Close enough for me

[KamikazeRat]

it looks like about the list i would come up with trying from memory....

uh....ok, so commando is TDK, Yen Lo is easy.......crap, what is the highlander hero...heavy metal...HM? what about misery MIS?.....screw it "HERO", "HERO", "HERO"

LOL

good sale though, that and the MC sale, i'll probably pick up a couple i've been drooling on but never commited to....

hmm...i think thats why they do this....to push me over the edge and spend more money

DAMN YOU PGI AND YOUR EFFECTIVE BUSINESS MODEL!!!

Yap, 46.
Now I am trying to do comparative analysis between buying mastery pack or upgrading to resistance rage pack for 20$ (3 more mechs/mechbays and 61 days of premium time). Or to buy both?

Or should I wait until non-pulse lasers do some damage to light mechs?

Mastery packs work out at approximately 58% discount on pure MC value on the assumption that a mastery pack is a 50% discount. Of course the cash discount value is a lot more complex and after a 13 hour day crunching numbers I can't face it at the moment.

Thank you. Must have overlooked that while looking at HERO, HERO, HERO, HERO.
