Of course we are (I think I can speak for everyone here). Why do you ask?

Ok maybe on DC guys or overheating mechs we will see thoses until we damage the mech.

Me i don't care at all i would prefer more real content, a less stupid MM or a deeper FW mode but wait all thoses things requiere skills, a vision and cant be sold as mechpackage... ok forget it, decals are good improvement to the game.

you will see it in your mechlab, you will see it on your teamates mechs, decals will have a very own personal connection to your and your mech. Customisation is always a very strong factor in games.

If there are custom decals in the future I'd probably put in a lot of Armored Core references.

Nineball's emblem.

The Raven's Nest emblem.

"TARGET VERIFIED, COMMENCING HOSTILITIES."

Label my PPCs as "Karasawa"...

I'd venture that's because we're hopeful that other streams of income will allow/encourage PGI to focus on other game aspects.

Others just want them.

Well if PGI sell us decals like they sell paint colors why not... If they seel this like they sell camos it will be without me ( and many others ).

who unlocks camos, I think most people one shot, becauseyou get a laod of one shots for a unlock. and since unlocks are variant bound (not chassis) its a total waste of money unless you feel like a fasion queen daily changing the camos.

You are wrong.

Unlocks are for the chassis not for one variant. One Shots are only for the Mech you bought it.

I bought a camo as unlock for my Commando and can use it on all my Commando variants.

How often do you change the camo spec on your commandos?

Each one shot is 75 MC. Each perm unlock is, what, 500 MC? Do you own more than 6 Commandos? If so, the perm unlock is worth it. If you don't, why are you spending so much MC on that unlock? You can always change the color once that one shot is applied, but if you never change the pattern, why spend so much more money?

Because I will not spend 75 MC everytime I change the camo. And I got the camo from a sale.

And why should I use one pattern the whole time?

Normaly I do not buy patterns. I got them from Mechpacks. And I will never buy one for the full price only if they are on sale (I think the pattern for the Commando is the only I bought till now. And I have 3 that use this pattern).

PS:
And you missed the point.

I did not say that most players buy the unlocks. I say that the unlocks are for the whole chassis and not for only one Mech like Lily said.

-Achievement unlocks for special decals
-Loyalist only decals. If you switch out of that faction , it disables the decal auto..
-Warframe has unit submitted logos. I think it costs like $50.


I had an idea that mechs needed to unlock their "veteran status". All mechs can use default, generic decals, but you either use XP/GXP to unlock Veteran status on a mech. Add an MC option to bypass the XP option. Doesn't have to be huge, but I'm sure the trickle of income is needed.

I never change the camo on a on shot. Only the color. You can change the colour on an existing one shot without paying again.

A LOT of people don't know this.

I agree with you that more actual content would be nice, but PGI has to pay for it somehow. And all the poor ******** who get cut down by your wrath will remember seeing that ridiculous decal and have nightmares about it. You shall be revered as the titan king of buttstruction and no one that sees your decal will want to **** with you cause they'll remember all those potatoes you peeled.
