PGI, make it banked, like before. Give your customers the option to activate it.

Also, there is a very important thing we desperately need: MOAR MAPS.

[RoninX62]

Thanks PGI! This is appreciated.

This is a good move, thank you P.G.I

[Bluttrunken]

Just wanted to preorder a Cougar and an Arctic Wolf and then I read "not banked" makes me say "no thanks".

*cough*

You noticed your profit from mech packs went down, you think it's because people are tired from mechpacks and you want to sell other things instead(Solaris) but you never had the idea that may.... be it could be that you manage to make the deal on mechpacks worse and worse? No C-bill variants on a regular purchase like with the big mechpacks, hiding good(sometimes the best or in some cases the only really worthwhile) variants behind additional paywalls(heroes but especially reinforcements) and then no premium time at all. And you're asking yourself why sales became slower? You guys are geniuses, like literally?

No, only too late for you.

I will never understand why ungrateful people like to post doom and gloom even when PGI does at least something remotely good or interesting. SMH.

And PGI, thank you for making the packs as good as previous packs, that is what people actually wanted. The association of fireworks with a "Civil War" is a bit off though, in the US we celebrate our declaration of independence from the British empire on July the 4th, our Civil War was much later.



The Uziel is the IS Stormcrow, it is a nice Mech.

They are Canadian so they largely don't care what you celebrate or when
the Federated Commonwealth civil War started a Looooot later!

Cant wait for Nightstar also +30 is a nice qift. Thanks PGI.

[Moorland]

Make it banked...How can you only listen to half of what we ask for? It is not that hard to give your customers what they ask for. It is not going to cost PGI anything.

[CK16]

Wow...really people are that upset over not banked premium time? Like wtf? Is it that big a deal that you can't click the button that says activate and just add that time to the pool you prob have of over several months already? Seriously I have seen some really dumb reasons to ***** at PGI and make excuses....but it not "banked" really?!

Well, white knight'ing is one thing - but this statement of your's right here is just a bit too much. Don't take this personally, but it's of course a lot better to have the premium time banked, for a lot of reasons. To fly into a rage throwing around verbal insults when people politely ask and/or recommend thinking this over again - since it actually is fact that PGI is not affected at all - is somehow completely inappropriate.

For the record @PGI, I would really like it banked too. Thanks for consideration.

My apologies, I was not trying to direct the response to the mild requests. Just the ones that are going after PGI every little thing they can to nitpick them on what they do. The whole angsty crowd that go for the pitch forks and torches litterly every announcement post.

[MovinTarget]

The active vs. banked feels like a compromise.

Perhaps people are not happy with the compromise, but perhaps PGI wasn't happy with sales...

[X Player]

Thank you very much. I'd much prefer banked time, but it's okay. Though I feel like this should have been in the packs in the first place, without us having to beg for it.

We have 1/2 Quad Mechs. :/
Premium Time Puppies for everyone.
If you have 6 years of premium time banked you could activate it.. :|
also here is a July 4th Uziel Screenshot. - (in original post)

Matt

1/2 Quad mechs?

Are those Quadettes?

But seriously ... thanks for returning the premium time to the lower priced packs, it helps us unemployed a lot.

Only shame is that it's after the early adopters expired for the Resistance mechs - it's what stopped me buying 4 ultimate packs and made me buy only 2 of them (Mad Cat II and Cougar), I really really wanted the Uziel, but no way with only 30 days premium for the Ultimate pack when older mechs gave that for the Collectors pack.

[Moorland]

Well...probably people don't understand how frustrating it is for players that cannot play all the time. I don't want my premium time going to waste because I am at work for two months (for example)

[Daemonara]

Excellent move guys, I'm off to spend some money!

[valt901]

Since you are giving us what we ask for.....We are asking for BANKED premium time. Then we can use it with our shiny new mechs. Active premium is all used up just in time for us to get new mechs then have no premium time. Insert frownie face here.

[Wanderer of the Mists]

I think it would have been fare if you did 7 days for basic 30 for collectors and 60 for the ultimate pack but that is just my opinion
