So... those that are throwing money at this, have empty bays, have MC and are willing to grab crappy mechs or mechs they don't want, it is... good for them?

The rest without cash, MC or bays or the ones saving their bays for what they want and the new players.... f*ck you seems

[Bwah Ha Ha]

Tomorrow, tomorrow there's always tomorrow,,,,,,, Maybe you meant the start was TBD???

[el piromaniaco]

Well, i already have all these mechs, but even if not i wouldn‘t know what to do with this event.

[TheVikingArtist]

So I wanted to buy some new 'mechs anyway, and I get that the tourney is all IS stuff, but as a clanner there's going to have to be a lot of buying and selling going on to try to scrape up those tiny amounts of MC...
I think I'm better off ignoring most of the event and just buying the $15 MC bundle for some GXP unless I want to pick up a merc dropdeck for future events. Wouldn't have hurt to throw in some paints, decals, or cockpit items to incentivize clanners to go for the event or at least aligned a few more of the trial mechs to the event.

Its a sale on the mechs needed for comp team queue for the next 5 months

So a sale designed around the tiniest fraction of the community? That doesn't exactly make it better...

Same here, probably stick to the GXP bundles, but hey, at least when we go into QP, there should be lots of sub-optimal IS mechs to kill for more XP & Cbills, right?

That was a nice first phase. Waiting for the second to start now.

[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

So I haven't checked but apparently you can buy event mechs at 50% full price, that you can either keep or sell back at 50% of their full sell price...

That almost makes it a free trial, and with event bonus thrown in... why is anyone complaining they can't afford it ?

Yeah was fun to take some of the classic I never got around to buying or using much.

[arcana75]

For phase 3-2 the name Grasshopper is misspelled with one S. Will that affect the challenge itself?

And do I get a prize for spotting this? Hehe.

Word on the grape vine is the sell value was dropped but I cant get in game at the moment to go check myself.

[IllCaesar]

Thanks to whomever at PGI for changing the way the other phases are handled. I could've completed most of these without even buying any mechs but my clanner friend who recently got into the game couldn't complete many. I'm sure plenty of other clan players appreciate it as well.

If you strip a mech and sell just the chassis, yes, the chassis is not worth much. You need to sell all the equipment. I will go check the myst lynx fiasco to check if they really did nerf resale, but a quick google turns up nothing.

-edit yeah, they adjusted it so you get back less on many mechs, like loose 1m from the transaction.

Additionally, every single trial mech is used in some stage of the event now (and is not any longer grouped with a mech you do not have). This event has just become way better than before. Good job!

[Mikayshen]

I like how you changed the events (for parts 2-4) to be for each individual chassis rather than grouping all of the lights together and such. Thank you for that PGI.

[Zen Orac]

Look like phase 2, 3 and 4 they are going more sensible in that you only need to complete 500 damage for each individual mech to get the reward rather than a group of mechs. Pity they didn't retro that for phase 1 as I'm out for the rest of this phase as I only had both lights and some lucky arty strikes meant I did better damage than I was expecting finishing in 7 matches. (I'm normally lousy with lights)

So anything that doesnt cater to the majority isnt good ? Whats the word for people with that attitude towards other people ?

[xAlimonosx]

Just bought a 6.95usd package and i have no bonus credits or xp.
So they just say what you get after conversion of this mc?

oh, i might have to wait to ''inject'' the aditional content...
