What the hell?, you have Premium time listed as 50% off today, but no link, and when I go to where it is in the store, it is still normal price. No way in hell I am getting it and then try to argue with you folks after the fact, FIX the dam store ya donks!

50% off the MC price for Premium Time. They really should have clarified that.

[Buenaventura]

They added a "time remaining for XXX" counter in the original post.

The Premium time sale somehow passed me by....

[Bwah Ha Ha]

Awesome on adding the countdown clock!

Hello!

For the Wahorns that were set to be on sale on Sunday but were not, we've refunded everyone who purchased them with the 50% MC difference.

In addition, we're re-adding the Warhorn Sale back on as the last sale of the month on August 1st for 24 hours to compensate for this issue.

Apologies for the inconvenience! The news post will be updated with this additional sale.

I didn't bother buying any warhorns because of this.
Maybe next time warhorns are on sale.

And please nudge the programmers to fix how to sell warhorns. I can no longer be bothered with obscure ways (Yeah I already knew the ways the others posted) and nor can I be bothered to put the dozen so left of that one type warhorn on various mechs just to buy more to outfit on new mechs every month. After all these years I really thought some of these rough edges would've been finely polished by now especially when it comes to making sales. Thank you

Dang totally missed the PT sale

I asked around and after wrapping my head around gifts, stores, online stuff, in game stuff, redeeming codes, going to email, this site, and in the game, found that I had to buy MC on an alt, gift it to myself, get 30% bonus, and then buy the 6 month premium time and have money left over to buy 50% off heroes.

Glad someone figured it all out! I already lost my 250k rewards on dailies unless these random 250ks I see getting injected are due to a complaint even though they said no, and I didn't get 10% extra for being a tournament supporter (suckered into that trying to get a free medium mech after poor grammar on that event).

Many thanks for the deal timer! I am sure that GM Patience will be very happy that she will get no further emails about my inability to get a weird time zone figgered out.

I screwed up the last 30% MC sale because there was no counter, I just emailed them the next day an customer service took care of me. Sometimes, all you need is some polite communication.

Max OConnor, on 23 July 2018 - 09:56 AM, said:

I purchased MCs today but I didn't get the extra 30%. I read others got it after purchasing on the top of the next hour. Been several hours now and still no 30% extra. Help please.

Did you email customer service? I did the same so the next day I emailed and GM Patience had no problem in helping me out.

Max OConnor, on 23 July 2018 - 10:21 AM, said:

I'm sorry but thats just crappy, I didn't see where to get a gift code, just buy MCs, thats ridiculous you have to buy a gift for yourself then redeem it. Same difference in the end. This sale has all kinds of issues from what I'm reading.

I got the code. I redeemed it. Darn that is 5 seconds that I can NEVER get back. C'mon guys, this was really a non problem.

BumbaCLot, on 23 July 2018 - 11:21 AM, said:

I wouldn't be so sure. After they poorly phrased the free medium mech thing making ME buy the tournament supporter pack AND thinking I'd redeemed it since I got a free medium, I didn't get any of my 250k bonuses for my daily deals. Only once I realized it was yet another thing I have to do (game, web, and email) just to give them money, they won't even give me the 3 days daily 250k, I knew they wouldn't add up my 10% earnings.
These deals are just silly. There's a link on the gift CBills that takes it to MY LEDGER! How is that also not super confusing?
So now I would have to buy $30 of MC on an alt, gift it to myself, and HOPE the 30% shows up.
Why is it so hard to define what a gift is vs a purchase, and why do you put a link to my MC LEDGER when selling GIFTS?

You can redeem your own gift code for MC. Even when there is an issue, say if you wanted to buy a second hero mech, then a polite email to customer service got me fixed up within a few hours and the Virago was in my account.

Oh shweet , bonus MC . I think i will dig into my Aug MWO budget and buy me a Keeper .

[Mechwarrior 37]

You should redo the Premium Time deal. I was going to buy some.

[FallGuy0815]

Krampus hanging cockput item for 125 MC. Ahhh. You could get that one in the winter lootbags. I just started to play back then and i had to put a lot of effort in to get the - what was it, 150? required match score (in hindsight: LOL, yes, i know by now).
And now it is on sale for 3 daily challanges where you basically have to show up. [add salt here].
Just joking, but seeing that thing i went on hunting on which mech i actually put that damn krampus head ;-)

I really like the sale so far, One shot Camos was grat, Monday and Friday MC discount was a little close to the last MC discount (i am good for now, even with 30% Bonus, so thank you for the moment). Warhorns, Double XP, C-Bull Bundles are still a little steep for my taste. Hanging/Standing Items - at a good place if someone likes that. I am bad at appreciating standing items, an the hanging ones sometimes distract me, so i usually leave them out alltogether. Colors are _great_ for people who missed the ninja stealth sale. Mech Bays are always fantastic, although i am still good in that department from the last sale too.

I feel sorry for the people that did not get the difference between gifted / purchased MC or what "UTC" and "Time Zones" mean, but all in all, the event was announced correctly and concise with the exception of the warhorn blunder, but that has been corrected nicely with the added August 1st sale.

Good Job, Matt

[Marius Evander]

Please do 1 shot camo's again

[Bwah Ha Ha]

Bought a couple warhorns tonight but not as many as I wanted to. Was very disappointed in what was offered in the selection.

Hey PGI devs the point of a vertical scroll bar is to... scroll left and right.

See the link:
top screenie shows scroll bar highlighted with mouse cursor.
Bottom screenie shows scroll bar when its not highlighted or selected.

Not much news here. It's the same for mechs on sale. The Store's Home screen just glitches out sometimes. Just enter the mechbay and return to the store. Should bei fine then.
