Yes. Only because of the 10% universal XP bonus. It will be useful to help earning XP on mechs that I have lying around that I hate playing.

It is probably one of the best $10 purchases for new players as well.

I can't really see any reason to. The only thing of interest to me there is the Overlord Dropship Standing Cockpit Item, and maybe the Globe Warhorn Mounted Cockpit Item.

I am considering it. 10% XP will make leveling mechs a bit faster, especially with my premium time that I have active right now. It's nice that part of the money will go to support those who will be playing in the tourney. Sure $5 is not much, but if 5,000 people bought it, that would be an extra $25,000 for the tourney pot. PGI is making a little off of it, but its not an unfair amount for what you are getting.

I am betting that's because you have already leveled everything up, right? Or, do you play often enough that stuff gets leveled overnight?

That 10% XP boost that lasts for 8 months for just $10 sounds pretty darn good to me, as I can't just get stuff leveled right away (not enough time)

I would try and support proper DLC and feature additions but I will most likely not be getting any of this.

I do support the tournament because of wanting this game to do well. The team/guild players should be supporting this big time since this is content and entertainment for them mostly. Either way its all cool with me and I'm looking forward to content and DLC and features.

If they offered a c-bill boost version, certainly, having mastered all c-bill available variants, I don't have a whole lot of use for a 6-month XP boost.

Nope, the drop-ship is kind of cool, but I don't support this move by PGI.

No for the same reason that Metus gave

I did think if the Union dropship looked good I might crumble and cave in,but having seen the floating Easter egg I'm safe, and can maintain the moral high ground.

Edit
LOL that thing is supposed to be the Overlord bwahahahah.

Well its only 3 inches tall. Not a very flattering introduction to the game for the mighty Overlord dropship I agree. Yep it is a wasted opportunity. Well when its on the field it should be a lot more impressive.

I too might support if it included a 10% C-Bill boost as well.

I will, soon, once I get going.

Because I might be going to the finals to finally meet up with the other mods and Tina possibly up there, and any other forumwarrior! :D

yup lol but it hasn't got an inflatable life belt around it, I spent a few second wondering why it wasn't pink with spots and a horses head

Picture above Egg with attitude, cockpit model a suppository, which might come in handy if your in a urban mech and meet a Direwolf in a narrow street, walking towards you ;)

I see a bunch of I Will Not Support PGI... So, you think there should not be tournaments until the game is made to your specific demands?

Okay, let's wait until all weapon stats are reverted to pure TT values and the timeline is rolled back to 3025 with no Clans. Also, we need Clans to enter the game with 8v12 matchmaking and weapon values right out of TT. And, we need all weapons to have 10 second recycle rates, and put minimum ranges in for Gauss and AC/2,5.

Also, we need to enforce stock-loadouts only, with hardpoints size restrictions when you change weapons, and engines should only be changed if there is a direct, non-rounded engine size equivalent to drop in for that weight class to enforce proper hex movements. Also, you should be able to change your engine as you wish, as long as it's within a given range.

Oh, and we cannot forget that weapons and ES should be locked on IS Mechs because changing the structure or weapons on a battlemech involves too much work, but ES should be unlocked for underperforming Clan Mechs. And UAVs should be removed from the game, and we need mobile repair bases that can heal a damaged Mech in less than a minute.

While we are at it, we also need a better economy so there is less grind, so we should be able to salvage enemy units and get them online for the next battle in less than a minute, but we need a campaign system that takes Mechs out of commission for a long while when they are destroyed. But, in the name of Lore and realism, you should be stuck with the same Mech you inherited from your father for decades and not be able to change Mechs.

Anything else I missed? When we can get ALL these into the game, will you then support it?
