Thanks for this event. My brand new Warhawk and Nova Cat each with 4ERPPCs really needed the exp because the are way too hot to be viable. This will make the grind less painful.

shouldn't the amounts be switched? It shouldn't be more expensive per MC, it should be less.

You're seeing it wrong... For spending 1 MC during this time, you get to convert 50 XP, whereas normally, you would only get to convert 25 XP for that same 1 MC.

Really do have to laugh.

....My Xp isn't tracking correctly.

For example the last game i was in i supposedly got 2k xp went to add skill points to a mech to find i had no xp spare???!!!-Must of had something to do with the game freezing as it tried to load back into the mechlab


Quality PGI {LT-MOB-25} up as usual SNAFU.

I kinda had a feeling there would be a nice event for the weekend . Thanks PGI . Hmm what mech to max out ...

[Ripper X]

I do appreciate this. But how exactly is this an event? No goals to reach or missions to do?

[Arkama]

What's even the point of this event? To get people to waste their hard earned MCs so they are forced to spend real money?

[Laser Kiwi]

Your goal is to spend $100 converting XP.

You can see your progress on the little circular wheel.

Have A GREAT TIME!

[TechChris]

Well I'll be darned......

First ya threw out a nice mech sale....

Then people requested/mentioned/gently complained for a mech bay sale, and low n behold you threw that in too....

Then ya gave us some more mech sales....

Then people requested/mentioned/gently complained about needing to XP all these new mechs they had gotten, and holy heck ya threw that out too!

Well done PGI!!!

I seriously hope ya guys didn't pull anything or have any serious side effects, we all know listening to your players or keeping up on the forums n other such things is not your forte, but this was a nice turn of events, well done.

[Quandoo]

The conversion is a joke.

You need like 20.000 MC to convert a million of xp you have to earn first with other mechs.
If you have such amounts of XP on your mechs, you will earn it in no time by playing. Got around 15 points for just on match...

Maybe you should get away from the idea of the rich super noob to something what pays off for the regular player. When did you evaluate your prices / customers the last time ?

Thanks for listening to the feedback and bringing in a double xp event!

I think the conversion bonuses are just that, bonuses. Not needed or required, just an extra incentive for doing it. I understand PGI has to make a living. Converting those XP points without the bonus would give just the conversion with no added benefit, so I'd start thanks for that.

[Arthur SIlverlake]

Does anyone think that the Conversion Rewards are not worth it?

with the conversion of 50 Xp for 1 MC, to hit the Max reward that would in turn equal 20,000 MC. that is almost the 100 Dollar Price tag of MC.

People who can make it either have to do the 100 bucks , or got lucky with the loot events and haven't spent it over a year and a half., (even then atleast for me with my luck I only hit about 8000 Free MC)

[Xeno Phalcon]

Ahahahaha.

No.

Never got lucky with MC in loot bags. I need MC to skill about 4 Clan Mechs/Omnimechs.

[ArdvarkX]

the comments are comical

[ADI84000]

looking at that half nova image made me sad , 3 medium lasers one hand 3 medium lasers other hand.... when it should be 6 medium lasers in each hand or even 6 mediums and 6 small lasers, but heat and cooldown for these lasers where nerfed so much that they are not viable in the nova .... small pulse.... well that was super nerfed to.... and yet the nova did not get anything considering all the weapons it uses was nerfed... really bad ....atleast bring small pulse lasers to 5 damage... and er small cooldown and heat how it was before..... no one uses er smalls at all since that nerf... or small pulse... so sad...poor nova...

ATTENTION PGI --- The indicator for "Time Left" is NOT displaying properly. Can someone PLEASE put a Fix on that?

~D. V. "It's glaring at me... Augh!" Devnull

Sorry for the delay, but I just got the chance to catch up. Thank You for fixing the "Time Left" Indicator, PGI. Particularly anyone handling Events (e.g. Matt Newman & Tina Benoit, as well as anyone else I'm unaware of)...

Earning double XP in game is great, the game should always be like this (or even better).

As others have pointed out, for 20,000 MC we can convert 1,000,000 XP, however to convert that much XP into usable skill points would cost 56,250,000 C-bills. The event rewards total 11,000,000 C-bills.

If one were to whale for the extra 45,250,000 C-bills required to use the XP it would cost 28,000 MC (7*6.5m C-bill bundles at 4000MC each)

That's a grand total of 48,000 MC, which can be bought for $199.90 USD.

For this you get 1,250 skill points, enough to master 13 mechs (with 67 skill points left over).

That works out to $15.37 per mech.

To master just one mech would cost 1,456 MC in XP conversion. Plus 3200 MC for the C-bills to turn the XP into usable skill points. So mastering one mech would cost 4,656 MC which can be bought for $29.95 USD

Skill points shouldn't cost C-bills.
