HI PGI

Could we get 4 mechbays when we buy a dropdeck??

May make it easier to drop with 1 min timer (and yes we have asked to have that increased)
And also get more ppl to spend more money ! which ofcourse is good for you.

thanks for considering

Yeah anything like that would be welcome. If dropdecks came with mechbays I would spend 40 or 50 bucks getting a bunch right away.

If your having trouble finding your mechs than use the favorites tab in the mech lab. That combined with the fact that when your picking you only see The (IS/Clan) mechs, depending on their side, means that a player has no excuse to not have their decks ready in under a minute. There is no reason to make us wait longer than we already do for a drop

A lot of people do other stuff while waiting for a drop. So a lot of times by the time you realize you got a live drop you have like 40 seconds, and the last 5 seconds don't save (this is fact), so in reality you have 55 seconds at most. I can't count how many times I was saving in the final seconds for it to not save. An extra 30 seconds would go a long way and wouldn't make people wait that much more

an easy thing to do, without PGI changing their magic-money-for-ghosting-formula, could be to drop the "got a lobby"timer to say 8 minutes and increase the "got a match"-timer to 2 minutes.

and a "ding"-sound/popup when something's going on while in queue would be MOST welcome. how often do we have to wait because queue got aborted and somebody doesn't notice it right away.. some kind of "let them know" can't be that hard, right? Posted Image

It is the most annoying thing in the whole game, You have about 45 seconds to choose your drop deck...but atleast we have a 2 Minute counter in Solaris.

Why do we have to ready up again anyways? Already signed in for ready, why does it switch to not ready? What's the party leader for? The whole system is designed badly.

Also, can i please buy more then 4 decks? I kinda need at least 6 per side, so 12 in total for IS and clans. I'd buy even more if i could. Ajusting decks is a pain in the arse. Someone's calling for a linebacker/sin 15 seconds before the drop, u know that?

still think the price is way to high. you are pretty much paying pgi a fortune to change a #define somewhere in the code. should cost about the same as a mech bay or come with them. i even suggested awhile back that pgi sell dropdeck themed mech packs that would include 4 bays, 4 mechs (possibly with an rp/lp bonus), a dropdeck, a wad of premium time and maybe come with skins/colors/dekkles/items/boltons. they could follow a theme like something from lore or a specific playstyle.

Agree.

If say they were 1250MC but came with 4 mechbays - You'd have my attention and is a reasonable compromise.

Either that or have a sale and make them 500MC :D

Considering how many we can buy now, i think a sale of 50% (600MC) would be nice.

Or a bundle sale of idk, 3 mechbays and 1 deck for 1000 MC or something similar.
