Some of us have spent a lot of money on this game already. Some have spent very little or nothing at all. Whatever the case may be, the game is growing older and I imagine people are spending less now than before. There's people making threads about having 100 mechs, or the 200 mechs club!

What would make you spend 50 bucks on this game if you haven't already, or another 50 bucks if you've already spent >50 dollars.

Keep in mind, I'm talking about spending 50 US Dollars or more. Is there anything that would still make you spend that amount of money on this game? If so, what?

Me, I have all the mechs I want. I'm still hoping that the Shadow Cat, Axman, Mauler and Cougar will make it into the game at some point. But I don't think I'd pay real money for them, at this point. I need Solaris or PVE. Mostly PVE. I think that's the only thing I'd still be willing to pay 50 bucks for.

TL;DR: What could PGI sell that would make you spend 50 US dollars more on this game?

I was about to say urbie, but it's only $40 for the premium package

But I'd pay $50 for the Commando IIC

LOL. Are you serious?

3 easy quick solutions:

1) Fire the man who shall not be named.
2) Hire more competent programmers and developers.
3) Get the artists to actually RESCALE ANY AND EVERY MECH so that it doesn't come up on atrocious balance discussions.

Really.. it doesn't take much here.

Bonus 3:
1) Fix/improve the UI drastically to be as useful as smurfy's.
2) Fix all usability issues, including the NPE/tutorials.
3) Immediately fire the man who shall not be named.

I already committed to a package after voip comes in . I may wait in worry of it being a failed start though.

Mostly I don't like packages and would just rather spend my cash on what I want. I bought dire and crabs but skipped the packages them. Don't need a lot of crap mechs in my mechbay. Just ones I want to drive.

[evillittlestew]

hmmm this is a tricky one i would love to see the timeline pushed forward more so the IS can get X weapons and Arrow IV

[InRev]

Single-player campaign. I'd drop 50 on that in a heartbeat.

I'm dead serious. And I know this question opens up to a lot of cheeky replies, like "Give us what they promised in 2012" or "If another company took over", but I'm actually hoping for serious answers.

So in all honesty, you don't expect you'll spend another 50 dollars on this game ever? It's surprising to me, since you just bought the Gargoyle package. And I'm not saying that as a cheeky insult, I'm honestly curious.

[evillittlestew]

i would life them to hire the people who made the mechwarrior living legends mod for crysis wars now that is a mechwarrior game through and through

[Artgathan]

PVE. I know a lot of people in my unit that would fork over some serious cash for this feature as well.

[Ngamok]

I would drop $50 on this game if it was something I had interest in. Resistance Pack, check. Urbie, check. Still contemplating buying the Hellbringer ala carte.

[LordKnightFandragon]

A really good PVE Coop Campaign.

[Brody319]

probably a mech pack with neat mechs.

and be honest here people, a lot of you will buy the next mech pack anyway.

[Jimmy Page]

I am happy with PGI since they split from IGP and have spent money (The first in a long time). Russ seems to be really trying to get updates out and be community manager. That being said, i want UI 3.0, fixed maps with no invisible walls, a game that doesn't crash when it closes, a game that doesn't have at least one DC a match, a better CW, and a usable mechlab in UI 3.0. Oh, and Terra Therma to be removed forever.

I've spent hundreds, but I'm really not planning on spending any more until we get co-op. That would give me confidence that I'll enjoy the game in the more distant future.

First even before that this game needs to put the warrior in Mechwarrior. Then an expansion pack with either a solaris and or pve campaign as has been said a few times.

Dont get me wrong. The excellent game play and the prospect of a complete galactic struggle between the great houses and clans is what makes this game. But it needs character and depth and of course Solaris.

It almost sounds like the whole PVE thing is kinda picking up steam. Almost like people are just like fk pugland, fk CW, fk the grind, fk the 12 man stomps, fk the MM, fk it all......

They just want to log into Mechwarrior as we did with every other Mechwarrior title, fire up the campaign, regardless of how many times we did it, and just play the campaign over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over again....and I think I have played the MW4:V campaign about taht many times.

Just log in, get in the stompy robots and have fun in stompy robots. No meta, no lag, no macros, no grind, no stupid UI..well, stupid UI, and just play robots....If I had a working joystick, you can bet your ass I would be there right now.

Sell custom hangars.

Like $5 for each. Say a snowed out, open hangar for Ghost Bears. Support crew walking through to sell the scale illusion. Ghost Bear mechs patrolling in the background.

UNSEEN.


50 bucks would just be the beginning, man.

[Duck Hunt]

I would like a gargoyle mech that doesn't suck!
