Why go round-robin on the days the faction stuff goes on sale? Thats not a particularly great idea. Some factions having to wait a week in order to buy their stuff on sale?

Its marketing.

If they put them all for sale at the same time, you are more likely to buy just 1 (or 2)

When they do it like this... the typical person will try to snatch something out of each sale... they are trying to create that instance 3 times.

Works on some.
Does not work on most!

Seriously, why bother staggering multi-day sales.

Nice sale to get some patterns. Hope I will find something great.

[Zolaz]

Hmmmm ... warhorns on sale would be nice. Need to get my howl on.

[ThomasAH]

What wasn't clear to me at first: Cockpit items and colors are on sale for the full time.
Maybe the "on sale" part of the store would overflow or the scroll handle would be too small if all faction patterns for so many mechs would be on sale a the same time?

Is there any difference for the colors: Obsidian black, liao black, and hotrod black ingame? They look similar when previewing.

Good question. Given that I want to buy the black one, I'd really love it if I knew what kind of difference is there between some of them.

Ya, i know, some of the faction colors looks exactly like obsidian black and titanium white, but I'm afraid once i purchase it, it will look wrong ingame.

Ox Blood, Moegi, AJ Orange and puke brown i got from events. During Easter sale I got a white. Yesterday i picked up ghost bear light blue, Marik purple, Liao black, and Jade Falcon Gold. I spend 2000mc and feel like i basically have every major color.

P.s. i waited to purchase my mc until 20% bonus

What do we want?

Mechbay sale!

I can't hear youuu!

MECHBAY SALE!

Careful, I got a 2 day ban on the forums for requesting mechbay sales.

That being said, I agree with what he's advocating.

I switched from Titanium White to FRR White, because I could not see any difference in-game (for me: same color and same "shininess") and because I'm FRR and because it appears in the top-left of the color selection panel
If you tell me which IS mech (I don't have all, but chances are good) and which map I should compare for Hotrod Black vs. Obsidian Black, I could check and make screen shots.

It could be any mech, I usually run clan mechs though(maybe test on a heavy/assault). For a comparison, I would say somewhere light like alpine peaks or something.

Colours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeees !

No mech sales, no color sales, no one-shot pattern sale... sorry, not interested.

There are colors sales, I finally took a white (Marik one)

I tried it with the DWF-Prime(I) and SMN-Prime(I) I still have, but the special patterns they have make even the same color look different, except at the legs which are hard to view in 3rd person view.

So I used the Archer with ears up. It has the polygon pattern and the colors Hotrod Black and Obsidian Black. Can you tell me which black is there two times and which only one?

I admit that I really enjoy warhorns. Not enough to move them around between mechs, but a lot. I could see myself making some irresponsible gleeful purchases if some good warhorns went on sale. (Hint, hint, PGI.)

P.S. I don't suppose there's one that plays Taps? I might actually buy that one full price.

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Do we have a list of which mechs can even mount IS Faction patterns? If it hasn't changed then this does me no good, but if the list has expanded I have not heard about it and would be very interested in this sale.

Unless made an error while looking at the store, it is still only Urbie + King Crab + 4 Res1 + 4 Res2 + 4 Classics.

Edit: Just verified that this is correct for FRR patterns. I assume the other IS patterns are the same.

The side torsos look nice, ears look different but probably the same as side torso, legs and center torso looks smudged.
