FINALLY

I was starting to suspect PGI had completely abandoned the idea of 50% discounts on Hero 'Mechs. So, so, SO nice to see this isn't the case... AND I'll definitely be getting several Heroes as a result

And, to boot, we have a (even more rare) 20% bonus to MC purchases!? YESSSSSS

You guys are going to make quite a bit of money this weekend, PGI... Hopefully this will motivate you to do half-off prices a little more frequently

Okay guys, do you suspect any nerfs to Huggin or Grid Iron? I want them now, for the quirks. If they get nerfed I'd be disappointed.

Grid Iron likely to get a bit of nerf bat treatment, it's pretty beastly right now. Probably will still be decent afterwards tho. Huggin seems in a good place.

Hey, what's with the Wolvarine champ being the only one not on discount? And the one I want to buy the most for that XL275 engine plus a mech (so I can XL275 my Grid Iron).

Any word on why they're neglecting that one single Wolvarine champion mech?

[Frytrixa]

All new and fresh painted to the battlefield!

thx guys

This is pretty standard with newly released mechs.

Does the premium time activate straight away, wouldnt mind buying 3 days but if it banks its useless since you can activate only 30days at a time. Yes I know if you got less thats all that can be activated but what about us who have over 30days banked and dont want to unleash 30days at once.
3 days prem over Tukayyid battle would be great.

crap, i just bought 2 of those mechs two days ago!

From what I hear, support is pretty cool about stuff like this. Maybe you can ask them for a refund of the difference?

[LaysBrand]

It's a very cool sale. I am thinking about buying Ilia Muromets. Is it worth it with current quirks?

I'm always too early too. Got that ecm Griffin 2N from the reinforcements 2 days ago. To elite it i bought 2 other variants for CB, thinking sparky hero is a bit expensive. Now the next day it is 50% off. I'll buy only on sales and events in the future. So keep 'em coming PGI

Ilya has always been one of the better Heroes. Current quirks on it are in a good place - they help out, but they don't box you in to one specific build either. I run mine with 2 AC/5, 1 UAC/5, 2 ML, and 1 LPL.

[The Mech behind you]

that is an awesome sale! So much stuff I want! And that MC discounts on top of it is golden. Thx

Unfortunately yes.

Premium Time acquired from packs (Resistance, Clan Waves 1/2/3) are banked. Everything else is automatically activated.

If you get "gifted" Premium Time, you want to "redeem your code" when you want to start using it....

This is an excellent event, but no Clan 'mechs are on sale. =( I really need to get some of them, so that makes me sad.

Whenever one chassis (or one variant) performs notably better than nearly all substitutes, you can expect it to get some nerfs. Previous chassis this has happened to (Thunderbolt 5SS and 9S) haven't been nerfed into unusability though - so I'd go ahead and grab the 'mechs if you want them. Just be aware that the Huginn is considered to be one of the few 'mechs that is an acceptable substitute for the Firestarter, so... yeah.

I'm tearing my hair out!

My student loan payment arrives on the 1st of April (in one week). I was planning to spend 20 pounds on the game (30 dollars), my first commitment.

The 6500 MC package would have been just enough to buy the Stalker Misery and practically nothing else.

Then comes this sale.

50% off the Hero mech you wanted! 20% more MC for your money! Offer ends before you actually get the money!

Is there anything I can do?!

sell some yugioh cards you don't need anymore?

[Mercarryn]

Well, this Mechsale comes as a surprise to me. And buying the MC might take some time for me.
Thus, right now the only Hero / Champion that draws my attention and is affordable atm, would be the CPLT-A1(C) + a mechbay I need to obtain, too. Is it worth the money?

[aGentleWarrior]

I also play wargaming titles ...

And compared to their events these events are very commercial and money greedy - Everything includes MC

no income or xp boost,
no sale on c-bill items

I spent on MWO in half a year more then on WoT in 2 years... however in my opinion you get not much here for your money...
