Wait this is only a ploy to keep you from purchasing mech modules.


Too bad I already fell into this trap.

No no no, its a ploy to delay people purchasing King Crabs for C-Bills to try and get more MC sale OR force you to grind more.

As I sit here on Thursday at 2:36 PM EST, the sale appears to be over in just over 22 hours?!?!?! I thought it went until Sunday...

[JoJoxy]

If you buy a Cent-D and sell everything but the engine you actually get 1.1M rebate on an XL-300 (3.8M vs. 4.9M)

5.3M mech purchase.
- 400k for LB10-X
- 150k for A-LRM10
- 80k for 2x MLas
- 776k for empty chassis (just remember to remove everything before you sell it)

[J0N3S]

Sigh ... and again like last Week there's not everything alright --- shop tells me 0 Days 20 Hours remaining ... shouldn't the Sale go till Sunday?

It looks like they are going in reverse order from the previous sale. Anyone know if the Cicada-3M was associated with any of the houses?

Almost 100% of "M" variants are lore-properly associated with the Marik House.
This is because Marik BattleMechs maintain exceptionally high levels of technology throughout the succession wars (largely due to minimal participation and political red tape/bickering among themselves and inaction). That and most of Marik's forces tend to be tanks with the occasional exceptionally advanced (for the Inner Sphere) company of BattleMechs.

(You'll notice every M variant typically features an XL engine, DHS, and other upgrades).

Side note: Marik does sell its Battlemechs to other factions (especially during the Clan Invasion). From what I understand (though I haven't followed Marik in the 3050 era yet; still in the 2800s), Marik doesn't even participate at all in the Clan Invasion for several years.

Cool. I already know I want all three Jagermechs and the Centurion-D. I'm a little disappointed that there are no Victors or Cicada-3M, but I suppose we can't have everything!

Ya I have been waitng for the Cicada 3M also... too bad.

I did not see a post of what was going to be sold on any other sale or even if there was going to be more sales. I think it is safe to assume there will be, but to say for sure a mech is going to be in a sale that we don't know for sure is even going to exist is crazy at best. There should have been many mechs that "should" have been on this list and a few that should not have been, but it is their sale so it is best if we do not speculate.

[Wildstreak]

Interesting sale, you can get all non-Hero/Champion versions of
Hunchbacks (5)
JagerMechs (3)
Awesomes (5)
at discount.
A few others (Locust, Blackjack, Cicada, Battlemaster), that is 7 chassis you can get 3 of for Mastery.

[Jagger225]

Thanks again PGI! I'm unfortunately out of Mechbays because I missed the 24-hour sale, but I might sell something to get that least Stalker!

[Mathium]

Thanks for another great sale, but why is it shorter than the FRR one? How about adding an extra day or two.

35% off MC and C-Bills on Favored FRR 'Mechs*

Its most likely because the patch is on Tuesday the 20th. On top of that, this patch will release the King Crab. So they are probably trying to get peeps to buy for MC now or wait till the next one. I would bet that the rest of the faction sales do not include the King Crab.

Would love discounted Mech Bay with these sales

Please allow me to express how strange it looks to me that the Davions haven't got the Victor as a favored mech, nor the various versions of the Raven that they captured during the 4th succession war, or the 2D2 Shadowhawk...

On the flip side, their having Catapults is something I find very surprising, considering how few Catapults exist, and it's not really something that pops up on any unit roster for them.

Just out of curiousity, who fact-checks this stuff? Can someone just send PGI a copy each of Historical War of 3039 and Era Report 3052?

I think they are basing their mech sale choices on player preferences for each faction, not lore.

The Cent D is Not marked as On Sale in game....
There any reason for this?

Sale is over?

[Morsule]

I am seeing Marik not Davion now when I go to the sales in the client. ie - it shows the Cockpit items for Marik - so assume these are the Marik mechs.

Fix please? - was thinking of getting a couple mechs that are now not on sale.

[Deathlike]

Smurfy's confirms a new sale is going on instead of the Davion one.

This isn't an anomaly, so someone screwed up here.

[Void2258]

Why are the sale items suddenly different?
