Can we get an explanation as to why you reduced the percentage off for Premium Time? That was the one sell I looked forward to every year since, between that and the 20% MC bonus it was perhaps the best bang for my buck deal you had. I would spend more money before, buying Premium Time for both of my accounts, that I will this time. It also makes me sad too that I told many of the new players in my unit to hold out until this time of the year to set themselves up for the coming years Premium Time. Oh well, I guess I will just have to tell them that PGI did not offer as good of a deal this year.

My big, serious question about all this is: are we into the eligibility period for 2017 Loyalty Rewards? I'd assume so, but you know what they say about assuming.

Also, Assassin! Hurray for more IS mechs. (But, uh... where's my Mercury? Or Thorn? Or Hollander? You know, more Lights!)

-paws

P.S. I hope that not too many people (myself included) feel burned by the looming revamp. That's a lot of C-Bills and XP/GXP (and MC/real cash via XP conversion) that's been invested in things.

"Clan Wave 1 Bonus Modules

Please also note that in anticipation of upcoming changes to the Module and Skill systems (stay tuned for more details from Mech_Con!) we will be removing the Clan LTD Bonus Modules from the Clan Wave 1 Packs prior to the start of this Sale. All other items included with Wave 1 Packs, such as Faction Medallions, Bonus Premium Time, and Warhorns, remain."

If these are being removed, what are they replaced with?

Cool...might buy some stuff...mechbays mostly. The Assassin mech looks interesting. Hoping to hell that the event being mentioned is for Faction Warfare. Getting seriously sick and tired of the QP events.

Hooray!! The Fabled 50% 'Mech Bay sale has arrived early!!!

View PostGroutknoll, on 04 November 2016 - 03:28 PM, said:

hmmm ... If I remember correctly post close beta, the 1st mech bay sale was 20% (I got several at 210mc). then next year I think was the 1st 50% sale I think and I got lots of bays. I think it's been 1 50% sale a year on black friday ooo, mc purchase history ... 1st mech bay sale Apr '14, Sep '15 1st 50% sale I think. Have not needed new bays till now. It's been the Hero mechs that have gone on sale multiple times a year for 50%


Yea it was a few times a year. Summer a few times, from the looks of my purchase history. And I swear there was a year where they would have sales for almost every holiday. One for Valentines Day rings a bell...

Are you guys serious?! You are complaining about SALES on stuff? You dont want sales? When ever there are events or sale-events, there's a shitload of complaining of stuff that wasn't included in the sale and you cant ever be grateful about the stuff that that PGI gives us for FREE?? How the **** is PGI supposed please you guys when there's always some idiot crying about how some event is too long/short/hard/easy/boring/whatever...... Some people are never satisfied, and I think those people who complain on how this sale wasn't COMPLETELY intended at their PERSONAL interests, should **** off from this game.

Value the things that are given to you, and hope/wait for the things that you wish for.

P.S: Give me Piranha please :P

It is just the same people who used to cry until their parents gave up and gave them what they wanted when they were kids.

By god, PGI got this RIGHT!!!

1. Advanced notice of a sale
2. Bonus MC offered BEFORE the MC items go on sale
3. Mechbays and Heroes for 50% off (almost right on the first pass but they got there)
4. Sale on mechpacks (never been done before, but probably needs to stay cut to those prices given their age...)

To go over the top, just sneak some colors, ONE SHOT camos and decals in there. Just don't tell anyone until you do it so we won't have time to complain about it.

Good news great news: 50% off mechbays! This is what a lot of people, inlcuding myself, have been waiting for. Thank you, PGI! :)
Bad news: Mechbay sale comes a couple of weeks after the November patch (if PGI keep their usual mid-month patch schedule). The November patch is expected to bring significant balance changes, which usually means buying and leveling new mechs. New mechs require new mechbays. Would you consider swapping things around so that the mechbay sale comes either before or immediately after the November patch? That would be absolutely perfect :) But even if not, it's still great to finally have a mechbay sale. Thanks once again!

This is the reason why isn't this game more popular. It is overpriced as hell.

And discounts are like no discounts at all.

Warframe is free2play game and they grew immensely from their free2play model. Also they have quite big playerbase. And why? They have login rewards. And basically every week you have guarantee roll for Platinum ( In- game premium currency ) discount. it ranges from 50% to 75%. So almost anyone can buy some. Players are happy, and they are happy too.

On the other hand I bought Night Gyr with reinforcement pack and some MC for colours ( 40 dollars or so ). To this day I regret it. Even when I see this sale it's just BIG "MEH" for me.

I work and I have great salary, also I do spent quite a lot of money on games. But buying stuff for MWO is even for me painful.

My last purchase was the final one for MWO. I'm not considering putting more money in this.

Shrug. So far this year between events I've earned over 4,000 mc and I'm currently sitting on 3,701. I'll probably buy a Sleipnir and 2 mechbays, and I think that will put me right at 150 bays.

You don't have to spend a lot of money on MWO to earn stuff. Just be wise and patient and your free rewards can go far.

This thread is hysterical for all its complaining about a good sale announced in advance.

Its like Ideal Suspect in game ... he will ALWAYS trash talk and usually total rubbish just to hear his voice I presume....

I assume they won't be replaced with anything since the name already states that those were bonus modules for a limited time...
