It would be nice if the hero mechs did not require you to buy 3 of the same chasis to Elite. The complete mech tree should be open for the mechs that are purchased for cash. That might even drive additional revenue. People might buy more of the heroes if they knew it was going to relieve grind.

It's almost as if the 30% c-bill bonus doesn't reduce the grind somewhat.

30% cbills doesn't do a thing for unlocking Skill Trees.... on 3 mechs.

Might be nice for those who spend IRL money actually keeping PGIs lights on, to only have to grind 2 of those.

Hmm... that's what 34500 XP? Which would cost 1380 MC... which is quite a good value. I like it. It'd be a good incentive for people to buy MC.

I like the idea even if i would never just buy 1 mech.

And if they could stop making mech pack that will only release in 12 months and start doing (monthly?) single mech pack with hero mech like they used to.

IT really doesnt.....

All that 30% does it puts your efforts somewhere in the ballpark of worth the effort...

I did 491dmg, 4k, 7a, win, survive, 131K base. like 40Kish for the 30% (I) bonus, ended somewhere around 171K total.

Some people like grinding mechs and may not want it removed. Might be interesting if the Hero mech itself would come mastered though...idk.

A fresh and original idea that emphasizes paying for convenience instead of pay for performance.


I'm suitably impressed, well done.

No, content exhaustion is harmful to the game.

Increased grinding improves wait times and matchmaker results. Think more clearly.

One of the rare but brilliant ideas.

Yes, this would encourage people to purchase one. To level up the rest of the chassis they only need two variants. The hero itself would be independent of the two.

It would have been nice if they introduced a system where MC-purchased mechs either come out full Basic or have an inherent XP bonus that lasts until you earn enough XP to fill out Basic.
