My store in-game still shows regular price!! How can I fix it?

Is one of these patterns a Hatchetman?

[Mister Blastman]

Hmm Mister Gargles or the Peacedove with c-bills... hmmm... Or just pass.

Just wait a little.Starts: August 14th at 10:00 AM PDT 5:00 PM UTC.
You may check worldtimebuddy.com for example.

[Scifi Toughguy]

Oh sure, the freaking morning after I bought one of those things. I'd have millions more C-Bills...

[Nightmare1]

Yay, Clan sale!

Too bad I'm still broke from the module sale...

Not to sound like a newb, but what's the point of spending money on the chasis (unless is has something special like a head laser or something) when you can just buy omnipods for cheaper and swap to create a custom? And you already have 3?
Is it just collect em all? Is it XP?

I think I'm missing something.

Since no one answers:
You need three variants of the same mechs (in this case the center torso...) in order to level them up properly for Elite bonuses to unlock.

Still cant change the camo on my prime invasion mechs :/

you'd have to pay $50 for enough MC to buy 3 HBRs... Would it not be a better deal to buy them a la carte? You'd get a 30% Cbill Bonus on one of them...

This is the biggest issue with buying mechs with MC. ITS WAY over inflated

Until those changes are official for non-Wave 3 mechs, you're going to have to hold on for a bit longer.

[Tiger Dad]

And what if you already have 3 and leveled them all?

Well now. I am thinking of joining the dark side so this sale is what I was waiting for. I already have 3 direwhales and the free adder. I prefer to play CW but will grind mechs in pug land to level them. I currently have 100 million C-Bills I am wiling to spend. Keeping the remainder for next month as those IS mechs will need serious tweaking. So as I have asked others if you have 100 million cbills and want to build a clan deck what would you consider?

3 Hellbringers..... 25,512,941. Leaves me around 74 million. Stormcrows? Timberwolfs? Do not need engines but will need some funding for pods, computers, and weapons...

Any thoughtful input welcome.....

If you wanna 1 flavour deck the Bringer is the right choice: 3 Hellbringers + your Adder to fill the remaining tonnage.

If you wanna a mixed deck the best Wave I & II mechs for CW are: Timberwolf, Stormcrow, and Hellbringer (right mix of firepower, armor and agility) with a not too useful light between Adder, Kitfox or Ice Ferret to fill the Deck.

Other fun combinations are possible but not so effective in my opinion.

Btw, head laser is a bad example, as that's an omnipod too... But yeah: center torso hardpoints, quirks, and several have set-bonus quirks (beyond the tiny xp bonus).

However, if referring to a couple Timberwolves that happen to have identical CTs and you otherwise have as many as you want (enough to fill CW dropdeck, if you want; duplicates for convenience, etc.), then it doesn't much matter. More relevant for players who haven't bought any of the chassis so far.

If only the discount extended to the Clan packages... I'd throw money at PGI like they were well-endowed strippers.

Honestly I was sitting doing the same math myself.

I have two Timber's, one adder, one dire, one crow, one nova and one kit fox.

My first instinct was to go buy a **** ton of MC to spend to get enough so I have a set of three for each.

Then I did the math. I'd be getting 11 mechs for about 144 dollars with the sale.

Or I could just spend $240 on the Masakari collection and get the following:
- 24 mechs
- 90 days premium time (roughly 6,750 MC or 27 bucks)
- 4 Modules (give or take 20 million C-bills worth),
- 8 Warhorns (6,000 MC or another $24)
- 4 medallions (assuming 750 mc value each, 300 MC or $12)
- the variants with C-bill bonuses
- badges (not that I care)

So an extra $63 in little stuff and give or take 20 million c-bills in modules. Plus then I can sell the duplicates of mechs I own (listed above) for extra c-bills to use on wave 2 mechs if I desire or just hoard till another sale.

If you haven't gotten the Wave collections like myself (because I disagreed with the pricing model, thats a lot of money for digital items) and are thinking about loading up on this sale with MC I tell you to reconsider. I am now more of a sucker and having a full time job and a social life, time is worth just as much as money so I'd rather pay than grind to own all the clan mechs.

If you have a **** ton of c-bills to spend and don't have them than this sale is awesome. However, all my c-bills went to upgrading my Urbies and Locusts (also spent c-bills on) to Endo and DHS plus a few modules while they were on sale.

Thanks for the sale, now I'll just need to collect some cbills

Hm, I´m tempted by the following:
Timber (tried it once and somehow couldn´t like it)

Mad Dog...

Any Advice if the Warhawk C is worth it? I love Warhawks and that energy hardpoint... ^^

Warhawk C is fine but not worth it just for the energy hardpoint.

I find I generally put my Warhawk C arms on another Warhawk (A I believe) due to nifty acceleration quirks.

[Bluttrunken]

And I was just investing in a couple of XL's to diminish the need to swap them between mechs. Could have been a set of Timberwolves instead....

Wow wish I had known this was coming. I need 2 T-Wolves, and 3 Hellbringers. I would like to have 3 Ebon Jaguars also. Guess I will get 2 Timbers.
