[Mikayshen]

Very nice, thank you PGI.

And I'll be contacting Support tomorrow since I bought MC earlier today.

[Commander James Raynor]

So does anyone know what can one expect from an ultra rare crate? Like, what type of items.

[TechChris]

Well that's all great n dandy......

Now we just need something like a hero mech sale or such, so we have something to use the MC on/reason to buy?!

Hint hint, wink wink!

Division 5 Mech - RIFLEMAN RFL-3C and a MechBay








Conditions

• A Reward item associated with your purchase tier cannot be switched with another Reward item. You cannot switch the Division 2 Mech - KODIAK KDK-3 and a MechBay for the Division 5 Mech - CATAPHRACT CTF-4X and a MechBay

Sooo..... The listed Div 5 'Mech is the Rifleman, not the Cataphract?

[Marius Evander]

hope theres a solaris event this weekend

[Mc Dye O Reddy]

Just NOTE: if you buy and gift to yourself - you DO NOT get both rewards. So choose either you want Cbills/GXP or Mech bay/Cache.

Don't think that was clear above.

[NocturnalBeast]

I would consider paying the $14.95 if you fix the inventory tabs to show all of the bolt-ons that you own and what Mechs that they go on.

Solaris is my life, at least when Commander Ed Steele needs a break from the mercenary life in BATTLETECH.

[A Man In A Can]

Will gifting MC to someone (even to themselves) count towards the yearly Loyalty MC portion of rewards come this October? Or will it still be one must directly purchase MC to count towards the October Loyalty reward? Given that gifting MC wasn't possible last year, I hope it's the former because those gxp and c-bill bonuses are a slightly more tangible bonus for me.

[NocturnalBeast]

Seriously, I am not spending any more money on MWO until PGI realizes that all the BS buffs and quirks that they gave mechs were just based on Quick Play. If PGI wants to make Solaris a Serious game mode, then they need to remove ALL buffs and nerfs from all Mechs and then set the divisions accordingly. I am tired of placing many well-placed shots into the CT of a Phoenix Hawk and having it just bounce off while those same shots would core and kill any other Mech in DIV 6.

[Blockpirat]

Why is the Solaris 7 cockpit item shown in the picture?

It isn't listed as a reward item. Nor can it be bought with MC.

Jumpjets , srm4, medium laser and a decal.... useless as every of these crates. Hahaha..

Theres allways a bunch of s.hit in it...allways. and now we cannot even sell these damn (unopened) crates...

[MechaBattler]

145k gxp? Word?

That is tempting for filling out some mechs with skill points. Along with the 8 mill c-bills. This seems especially good for new players looking to get a jump on the grind.

The new crates basically plagiarized the crates from Heroes of The Storm, although I do like the crate system in HOTS so this is not really that bad.

[Pain G0D]

Sooo if you spend 30 bucks you score a hero mech but if you spend 49 or 99 , you get a cbill mech ?

Regardless of Division Tiers , should that not be the other way around ?

Should be both because it says "145, 600 GXP and 8.2 Million Cbills (enough to convert 182 skill points)" Not "145, 600 GXP or 8.2 Million Cbills (enough to convert 182 skill points)". Was thinking about buying this but when it says gxp and cbills that's misleading.

Another question:

Ultra Rare Supply Caches are supposed to contain "a piece of 'Mech equipment, two cockpit items, and currency"


Source: Screenshot from NGNG stream

Phil opened two of them on stream: https://youtu.be/zX58a7__UxM?t=12m26s

First one:

• Standard Engine 180
  
• Marik Banner Standing Cockpit Item
  
• Liao Hologram Standing Cockpit Item
  
• 400 MC

Second one:

• Clan Ultra AC20
  
• Malaysia Flag Standing Cockpit Item
  
• 1,000,000 C-Bills
  
• 400 MC

Strangely, the second one only contains one cockpit item, as opposed to the two that were said to be inside. Has this been fixed?

What's the problem here? You have the option between EITHER

* buying the MC directly for your own account, giving you the Containers, Mechbays etc. (1st list)

OR

* buying a gift code, redeemable for your own account, giving you the MC + GXP/Creds or the other stuff in the 2nd list.

IMHO they only want to explicitly point out that you DO NOT get BOTH options by buying a gift code for yourself.

I think this sale is better than prior, what do you all think?

Depends. No bonus-MC this time, in exchange ingame-goodies. If you need/want 'em, good, if not, well ...

Since I have more than enough spare Mechbays I am rather tempted to buy one of the small gifts (GXP/Creds). But I think I will wait for the answer to ThatNumbGuy's question:
