Only Modules I see for sale are the MC variety. So where are the rest on this supposed list?

[xeromynd]

OH MY GOD A SALE ON MODULES.



YES

[Jeffrey Wilder]

Bought a ton of modules. On top of that, I decided to spend some MC for the effort.

So wait, are Raw CBill discount sales every going to be a thing?

they would have to be about 70% off the cost of C-Bill bundles before it would be better value than simply buying the on sale Spider champions and selling them to the vendor. You get about 2.6 million for selling one (due to the XL280) for 617MC. The best value C-Bill pack is 4000 MC for 6.5m cbills, - with the current 50% off sale on the champions you are getting about 16.5 million for 4000 MC if you spend it all on spiders.

Never buy the Cbill packs, ever.

edit: actually, its 18,414,424 C-Bills for selling 4000 MCs worth of 50% off spiders. Meaning that even with no sale it is about 50% better value to buy and sell them than it is to buy the best value C-Bill pack.

So is the Spider champion now a better value than the Jenner champ? It used to be the Jenner champ you'd buy at half off for the best value.

According to a post on page 2, the spider was always better value then the jenner champ. You must be thinking of the cicada champ which was the best value before. I think with the xl280 the spider comes out to be the best cbill/mc value, but I am not 100% sure. I will be checking after work today and can post back what the actual cbill/mc value is. Though I am sure someone else can beat me to this.

Is that 18M figure from selling 6 spider champs? 4000MC can only buy 6.48 spiders so I am wondering if you are calcing based on 6 spiders or 6.48 spiders. I want to know what 1 sells for.

i just worked it out.

The spider @50% off is 4603 cbills per MC
The cicada @50% off is 4439 cbills per MC

for fun, the best value C-Bill pack price is 1625 cbills per MC. With a 50% off sale it would be 3250 Cbill/MC.

i was calculating for 6.48 spiders before. Each one sells for 2.84 million. Each Cicada sells for 3.55 million

Why are half the sale modules listed here?

I bought a ER Sml Laser range module and it was one sale but you dont have it listed here....


This seems very rushed and poorly done, why list modules with different names? The only reason i can see is the hope of confusion and Cbills spent on wrong stuff.

This is not good practice from a business, you should be CLEARLY and VERY VISIBLY showing us what is for sale. Half the stuff for sale isn't here in the thread and the Store doesn't really have many answers either. The only way i find out is by trying to load them into a mech.

If i ran a sale in my store but then once you wanted to check out threw a bunch of stipulations and reasons why X module isnt on sale my customers would leave and buy nothing.

Also why not make it clear as possible....you are making more work for yourself when someone buys a module NOT on sale and NOT clearly listed then will want YOU to do something to fix it.


4/10 PGI, thanks for the sale but get your S%$t together....

Great post, thanks for the info. I cannot believe how incredibly poorly valued the cbills packs are. I wonder if they even sell any of them?

Yeah, if they do its basically trickery lol - its not immediately obvious i guess. Even worse would be people buying C-Bills in order to buy engines, because that makes the champions even better value in comparison since you don't lose 50% of the engines value if you actually want it.

[crustydog]

Goodness - This sale feels like winning the Lottery:)

Thanks PGI - The timing was perfect.

[Sky Hawk]

Nice sale.. at the end.. Thanks!

... And.. for this one too...

Is there a list of Champions and engines they come with? Or I guess I can go through them and make one. Always hesitant to purchase an XL due to the cost.

[Whois9876]

All you people complaining. Can you just report the problem and say thank you... Give you a sale and b**** and moan about little things.

Thank you for the sale PGI.

[Aesthir]

The sale is actually pretty good. Modules are ridiculously expensive, so I'd like to take advantage of the sale to outfit some more of my mechs.

Problem is, the game is still SO. DAMN. BORING. that I can't play more than two or three matches a day without fantasizing about watching paint dry.

Will there ever be anything to this game other than Team A of mech tries to kill Team B of mechs? Every single thing about this game boils down to that. Can we have some objectives please? How about actual disincentives to dying? Maybe something to work toward in the long term instead of nothing but pointless grinding?

Remember way back when this game was billed as "the thinking man's shooter"? Whatever happened to that? This game is an instant-kill knife attack away from being Counterstrike.

[Blaze32]

Do this more often please!! I wish you would be able to make all trials in the sale available so we could try the mech before we get it...

Thank you, just bought 20 mechbays

Nice sale! Why am I broke on C-Bills

Only got 13 Million in the Piggy Bank ^^

Sorry to hear that. I just went down the list and spent 40 mil on those modules. Bought mulitipul copies of stuff like adv, sensor range in hopes that sensor ranges will change for each chassis type as part of the whole rebalance thing coming down the line. Maybe active and passive radars will be introduced.

mech bayyyyyyy -50%

All ways a good thing to buy on sale. Bought 2 so far, might get 3 more before it is over. Haven't sold any of my mechs yet to free up an extra bay yet. The resale of mechs is just too low from the initial investment.
