Well, that would be $14, or rather 13.90, but i don't see a problem supporting game you like. Most AAA games cost way more than that, you play them for few days and drop it.. Anyway, i agree about the need to attract more players.

I meant you start with 4, buy just the 4, then earn 2 from some faction.

The lucky charm event did not give PHX pre orders their 25 bonus points. I was never offered mine till after the event ended PGI screwed it up for PHX pre orders. Try that one on for those saying the Phoenix hawks got their grab bags. Strange that never noticed it till people here saying you already got a grab bag event.

You are right in this case then, yes.

As I recall, when I first joined, I had 8 free mech bays AND I got some MC to start off...and that was only january. And since this even INCLUDES MC rewards... buying more mech bays shouldn't be a hard thing for folks to do. I think I ended up around 2000 MC in prizes from the April lucky charms event. That got me a couple bays and a lot of 1-shot camo's to make my mechs look pretty.

People are saying it because its true, and many of the ones saying it, were phoenix pre-orders who in fact got the lucky charms 2 bonus draws because if it.

My memory may be fuzzy on this, but I think what he was trying to say is that for some reason, the grab bags for PHX was fubar'd or something, like they were added at the last moment so some people didn't get the memo in time. Again, this is from the memory of a father of twins, so it maybe completely faulty and full of hallucinations...

The phoenix redemption was before the event started. I remember taking my kodiak bonuses and debating buying the basic $20 phoenix pack just to get another 25 picks, before I even started playing to earn picks. Its hardly PGI's fault that some players couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the event announcement page before/during the event running.

[ExoForce]

Free 3420 LRMs (Artemis) for everybody!!!

[MovinTarget]

WOOT I WON A FREE COOLANT POD!!!!!!!

[ThomasAH]

No matches played yet, but I received the grand prize as the 25th draw of the Cyclops preorder
Thank you!

[MovinTarget]

total of 595 MC in my bonus bags...

So if my luck holds for the rest of the event, I might have enough for 4 Mechbays *without* the grandprize... Results of course may vary...

but for you guys bitter about no mechbays, just buy them with the MC and be happy. You should have a decent shot at getting enough for 1-2 MB.

[Wing 0]

we should up the score on the quick play from 150 to 250. It made a lot of ppl do less hiding and more aggression

I doubt it...

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drop lurms and stop begging for targets.

I'm part of all four pre-orders so amongst my hundred picks were the grand prize, 345MC, the kickers several times, the urbie horn several times and 2.8 million cbills as highlights.

[Kuaron]

How is the chance for the grand price at all?

Made my 25 Cyclops clicks but nothing special there besides an Urbie warhorn (which doesn't even sound good, IMO).

[MovinTarget]

honestly, its random, did 80-90% of the grab bags when the Champion Timby was the prize...

nada

I like this event.

Give people who don't play Faction warfare a reason to get stomped by 12-man teams because this is the greatest most awesomest MechWarrior Game Ever, you know, the one that PGI made for us because we wanted it, we craved it, and any shortcomings in population that prevent a decent matchmaker (or any matchmaker) for FW are our fault for there not being enough of u.

Good one

PGI thanx for the free stuff (thanx for the grand prize ).

I'm at a gig with my band right now, wishing everyone a great weekend and fun during the event.

Hf gh y'all

[Luscious Dan]

Every single time there's a loot bag event, I end up explaining to people that Mech X or Y had their free 25 bonus redemptions during the previous loot bag event. Glad some folks beat me to the punch this time

Strangely enough, after the Classic heavy mechs and the Kodiak, I haven't bought anything in a few months so I get no freebies. First time that's happened in a while!
