I also am on the lookout for a mechbay sale ^^; I suspect these kinds of random chassis sales without mechbay discounts are meant to drive mechbay purchases at regular price. For those who can take advantage, the rivalry idea is neat I suppose. Just a shame to imagine the Kodiak in its current state trying to square off against the Annihilator. Posted Image

Dev, i feel your depression. When are you going to get a proper group to hang out with? Rarely you wil find a random person willing to listen to you. Even if you are playing the same game.

I did sort of have a group to hang with previously. Then I started to fail to connect with them at the right times due to Real Life, as well as I started finding that the difficulty of Group Queue took a sharp up-turn lately. So I got stuck back in Solo Queue again, and since that have been trying to get more people to communicate better with others. As you can see from my rants, that hasn't worked out as well as I would like. Enough said of my being depressed for now, though... sometimes I just have to get it out of my mind and onto a post. :unsure:


Anyway, I guess I'll look forward to seeing more usage of the Mechs in this Sale on the battlefields. I would imagine that people will be coming up with some interesting designs to be shot at. Maybe the 'Abusive MatchMaker' will let me have a chance to run into them? :P

But yes, thanks for the sales, I'll get a Thanatos and see, what I can do with it. :)

Honestly whats a full price mechbay compared to a 50 percent discount Assault Mech ? I am sure we all paid full price for mechbays at one time or another .

Agreed. Every time I see a Kodiak and an Annihilator on the field lately, the Kodiak tends to end up rather quite dead before the Annihilator ever can. Frankly, I think the Kodiak needs Buffs, but the Annihilator needs to stay as it currently is. If it means adjusting a number of other Mechs to meet the line being set, so be it because it would mean that the game gets a better balance overall. :huh:

I don't get stressed with this game much anymore. I focus on doing well and relaxing. I have a really terrible job, so this game is a big relief for me. I focus on doing more than 600 damage every game win or loss and thats all I'm after. Being the best player on my team with the highest score and probley the worst ping, is something to be proud of.

Dont focus on winner, cause I did on world of tanks and it use to stress me out. Now I just play to kill noobs lol. The Bruno

I don't understand the posts regarding mechbay sale.
We have a lot of events nowdays where you can earn 50-100 MCs per achievement.
I'm not a pro, I'm a casual player, but my latest mechs and mechbays were either from event earned C-Bills/MCs or from mech givaway events.

Regarding Annihilator vs Kodiak (as an Annihilator guy):
True comparison can be Solaris 1v1. (Maybe the devs got the idea from there, because the two mach is in the same division).
But it is also true that an Annihilator on the battlefield becomes instantly a priority target due to the fear it generates...:)

'Need that mechbay to buy another hero/mech, but if I do that, I can now no longer afford the mech'

Add in to sales affecting which things go on sale, sometimes they might put that Hero you really want down to 50%; Sometimes it's just the bays.

Any chance these sales will be hitting the $ price of mech packs in the store page on the website? Wouldn't mind getting an Uziel pack off the online store if it was 50% off, for example...

I discovered that Kodiaks generate more fear than Annihilators. If I bring one on the battlefields, and there's also an Annihilator on my Team, my Kodiak will ALWAYS get prioritized and focused down first. If I bring an Annihilator, and my Team happens to also have a Kodiak, that Other Pilot's Kodiak will instead ALWAYS get prioritized and focused down first. :(

The only thing to out-prioritize those two are the Fafnir Chassis. The other 100-tonners, like the Dire Wolf and King Crab, just don't get prioritized and focused as soon as they sometimes NEED to be. :huh:




As for this person...

Uhm... Pardon me while I laugh a bit. Please read back through the Thread so far. You will find that many people have already mentioned this. LOL :lol:

Hi! Indeed NGT-H is not available in the game store as it is a standard version of the Loyalty Rewards and was just released in the Web Gift Store. Our apologies for the confusion.

Unacceptable!! I think we should all get one for free but I think others would rather have a Mech Bay!! Thanks for the sales and the Events. As a semi-noob it gets me to try new tactics-weapons-and mechs. I still try to focus on winning first and let the rest fill in as they will. If I have to play more rounds then, well I get to play more rounds. Win - win!

I think it's less that one mech is inherently more intimidating than the other and more that the two carry comparable firepower but one is much easier to kill, so you drop that one first. It's a bigger target with worse hitboxes and no survival quirks; killing it first instead of the Annihilator first removes the same amount of boom from the enemy team in much less time.

I hear that. Sounds like PGI may have to give back some more Minor Quirks to the Kodiak... That's even with the KDK-3's ability to potentially mount bonkers amounts of damage, just because it gets dropped so easily. :unsure:
