Seriously its bad enough with QQ and LORD running almost exclusively TDR's as it is.

Now you are giving them discounts?!

Relax. A nail that sticks out, will inevitably get hammered down. Took PGI over a year to nerf the poptarts but nevermind that.


I for one, am looking toward getting the STK-4N, and completing my C-Bill Stalker collection.

Of course.


And all the good little lemmings will buy them up quick......

and then next patch, maybe 2, it'll get nerfed. And PGI will turn a tidy profit off of people's greedy metacheezewhoring nature. And we'll get a good laugh at the rage and QQ from the buyers who feel duped...... because their ezmode crutch got taken away.

GG, I say!

The man who shall not be name is always around the corner.

With that said, I'll enjoy the Thunderbolt (minus the 5S) and may consider rebuilding the collection... if I have to go back to the IS one day...

I had the most fun with the energy heavy Thunderbolts BEFORE the quirks.

It's 35%, not 30.

From the second i saw the 9S quirks, i'm holding back cbills.
Because you can argue all you want, but this thing is getting nerfed. I just don't know if it will still be able to wreck face after the nerfs.

But with this sale... It will be like how much, 3.8 million cbills for the 9S? It already comes with DHS so you only have to slap endo on it and you are good to go (if you already have the engine like i do).
Thats like 5 million for a mech that is totally wrecking face atm. Depending on when the nerf will come, this rental will totally be worth it. If they overnerf it you will be able to sell it for like 2 millions or something like that, making it an 3 million investment for sh*tting in everyones face till the nerf comes. I guess it's worth it.

I read all of those tweets. It will get a slight reduction on the heat quirk, exactly like the 5SS did. The question is simply when, not if. I'll still get it, even if it's only for a short time. So much facewrecking for so little money can't be passedpassed.
