A pity I was really hoping FRR liked vindicators since I'm developing an urge to play them soon. I'll get a couple victors, not really my cup of tea but you get what you can.

But it's really great to see some C-Bill discount from time to time, thanks.

Vindis are Liao mechs. They'll probably do a different faction each week, so you'll get your chance soon.

Great, finally PGI is starting some discounts (not only the damn stuff).

Hope thats not the last of this event, keep it up PGI, you're pointing in the right direction !



EDIT: lawl, seems some noob wrote the list and put the mechs in weight classes XD

The last time they did this (yes they did these discounts before) they cycled through all the factions. Not sure if this is just because frr is getting squished atm or if they'll cycle through again, but I'd bet they will.

Might want to check out the map, we've been pushing back the clans for the whole week. In fact the clans have mostly stopped defending. But yes the sale is nice, maybe Liao will be next I need to get some cataphracts.

Did you log out and back into the game...?

[ownka]

Can someone post confirming that they -do- see the updated prices?

[Gremlinn]

Is it April 1st? No sale on the mechs, just the cockpit items and maybe the colors (I did not check those)?

Ugh I just bought 2 Dragons the beginning of this week. Ah well hopefully means there will be some other faction related sales in the near future.

There's 2 simple rules for buying anything in MWO.

1: Check the front page at least once a day.
All updates to the game happen after 10am Canada time.
Specifically, Vancouver, BC, Canada, which operates under PST (Pacific Standard Time).
It's easy to find how that matches to yourself using this handy tool.
There are sometimes lesser updates and announcements at 4pm Canada time, but normally it's the AM.
Personally, I check the front page at least twice, once in the morning once in the evening.

2: Avoid buying anything with real money apart from at the weekend.
Sales and events most commonly run from 10am Friday (canada time) through till 10am the following Tuesday.
This means it's almost always worth waiting till fri/sat at least to make a purchase.
So far, it seems that MC sales are common around Black Friday and Christmas and big Colour sales at Easter, though these aren't hard rules.

You've all been here long enough to know this and not get any sympathy. :/

[Alexander Garden]

Try a reboot of the client
