Marik and Liao pilots,

The MC is for Liao.

Marik gets 4m for its thing.

I don't think it would be enough to stir CW, given the state of the game.

Contract cancellations cost money anyways.

300MC for a mechbay? Much wow.

CW? Not interested.

[EgoSlayer]

Interesting. Since it locks them both to a single available attack path it might help with the wait times. Probably an experiment to determine how much time to match changes.

[AlphaToaster]

I think this is cool. These types of mini events are what is needed to help add immersion.

I mean 4mil Cbills to get a victory in provided Marik controls the planet at some point? That's some incentive right there.

300MC is 2 single shot faction camos, a mechbay, or just save it. At this rate PGI is giving away enough MC injections here and there, than someone could pickup a hero or champ with it.

I look forward to more of these in the future.

[Xetelian]

I'm tempted.

I'd join them right now, but I don't want to have to find a unit active in my timezone to help get a win.

Clan war, it is everything we asked for?

Ditto. Me and my 3 man group learned that CW was not for us. You can only be canon fodder for so long before you realize you're wasting your time. It's a shame, because I want to love CW. I also find it odd that they cater so heavily to the <5% of players that Russ claims made up the 10-12 man groups.

That's a couple of one shot camos for the aesthetically inclined.

Maybe they also did a stat check and determined that most of Liao players are freeloader scum and most of the Marik players are space poor.

While I'd like camos (to be much cheaper instead of what it is now - I'm not exactly bothering with one shot either), MC's most useful selling point is mechbays and "maybe" the occasional hero @ 50% off.

I mean, there's lots of stuff to distract you with your MC, but the core important stuff is a greater value regardless.

For those who are completely non-paying, investing in a hero mech by saving up the free MC (when the hero is on sale) is a great idea (as long as they know how to play that hero mech). The gains are noticeable over time. There are a ton of mechbays in CW warfare so if they have the stomach for it they can get quite a few by grinding out loyalty points.

I guess I already have more than enough 30% c-bill bonus mechs that I mostly just value MC for GXP conversions and one shot camos.

For CW... it matters ONLY if people play (because, it was a drag trying to get loyalty points from GB).

MC conversions are meh. Getting almost 800k in GXP already, and I don't even need that much. 0 XP converted.

I'm just a casual scrub player that plays now and then so I'm always low on GXP and c-bills.

I can't imagine any reward that would bring me back to CW. Maybe something like a guaranteed 3000 MC reward after a handful of matches.

But there are some people who still enjoy CW, I guess. <shrug>

Did they reset the galaxy map yet or is it still bizarro world?

I personally need better bribes.

"Occasionally." "Rarely."

Bizarro world. You know, those contracts... yea, they still favor Clans (screw the IS, because reasons).

Hmm
I'm not really nagging
But 300MC ain't that much
Could bump it up quite a bit

Making it an incentive to play CW or not switching around would require more MC than the equivalent of ~2$ (actually a bit less, and I'm in the € zone, so it's closer to 1€ for me)

It's not like electricity is for free, rather play what I enjoy than taking such a small bribe

Here's hoping they bump it up in the future

[Kira Onime]

Hey guys! Conquer a planet and get a free mechbay!
WOOOOO

[IIIuminaughty]

I guess Davion don't wanna play

[LordNothing]

if these become a regular thing it could really help cw.

looks like we got our cw beta 3.

Seems like a lot of effort for a mode I don't play given I got both far more C-Bills and MC last weekend in the Blood Money Event. Maybe bigger gap I might have bitten.

[Deathlike]

Minimum MC value should have been closer to at least 1000MC IMO.

The C-bill bonus for Marik is "good enough" for something like the Enhanced NARC module.
