Time to drop some cash and add to my Rewards King Crab lineup.

Rather limited and uninspiring sale but thanks for the thought PGI

[Sereglach]

Very fascinating sale. The c-bill bundles are actually pretty respectably discounted. I wonder how worth it it'll be for people to buy the c-bills needed for modules, engines, or c-bill capable chassis, if they so choose.

At-a-glance numbers make me believe it's basically a 15-20% discount to anything purchasable for c-bills, if you buy the c-bills with MC to make the purchase (using the c-bill to MC value of mechs in the store as a guideline).

Also . . . Hot Rod . . . on sale . . . for 50% off. Damnit . . . that is my favorite pattern. You're sorely tempting me. Sadly, I can't put patterns on the "R" variants, yet, so it's still something I think I'll be putting off for now . . . and I'm still pretty peeved about that last dev vlog. Not to mention that my Flamers still haven't received their completed reengineering, and we've gotten no word on them since February. So . . . for now . . . wallet stays closed.

Regardless, I think this is a pretty good veiled c-bill sale on just about everything you can purchase with c-bills (engines and modules especially, for people who really need them), as long as you're willing to spend the MC to get them. Very fascinating sale.

Just meh on everything since it's all MC-based (not even a C-bill discount on crabs).

[Appogee]

Ummm, nah.

TBH this sale is stupid, and the C-Bill packages need some serious adjustments. the Store needs alot more than 3 options. In regards to their scale and ratio towards mech packages, and overall pricing of mech in MC; these packages naturally are a waste of money. And that is coming from me.

I bought all my MC at a serious discount late last year and even with the c-bill discount here on top of it, I'm at $10 for 6.5 million c-bills, and $10 for a module is ludicrous.

All Crabs owned, I'm happy enough with the factional patterns on my resistance 'Mechs (more interested in factionals on earlier mechs) and will earn my C-Bills in the event. Will wait til next sale thanks.

[Frytrixa]

You sneaky PGI...

Now a few weeks after I have equipped my Resistance mechs with all the standard Patterns.

But thumbs up

[Dawnstealer]

You know what this sale needs?

A Hatchetman.

[PFC Carsten]

Glad that I bought my 2 additional Crabs for mastering that chassis recently for C-Bills.

hi all,
As im a flamer lover, i agree, even if i fear a little what they can become

[El Bandito]

Oh cmon. If you wanna do a mech sale with MC, at least make it 50% off!

[EAP10]

Not much for me in this sale, I don't own any resistance mechs and don't really have any MC.

And I have plenty of c-bills.

With "Back to school" titling I was expecting a little more. Still a nice sale for those it is handy to!

[Ovion]

If those patterns were on sale for all mechs, I'd pick up at least 2 (Virus for Locusts, Snowfall for Dire Wolves), maybe more.

As is... it's rather limited, and sadly doesn't entice me to spend.

[Impyrium]

I don't care how they discount permanent camo unlocks, or C-Bill packs, both are still terrible deals and poorly thought out MC buys.

[RoboPatton]

Guess, the ol' wallet stays closed this weekend...

SIGH.

Then again, they are running out of things to sell, just had modules, clams, and originals sales recently lol.
