meh..
Excuse me, but I'm more concerned about how my favorite mechs are disfigured
New retrofits system is too terrible
I definitely don't want to buy anything until I feel uncertain about the future design, that will probably make me leave you

Wow, barely 5 months later and you put them on sale?
Talk about ripping off the players who paid full price not even half a year ago.

Steam always has a summer sale, normally it would be for the four sets of two mechs that are unique to steam, but they replaced that with the Solaris pack. Everything goes on sale from time to time, and six months is the expected window. Hell, they take mechs that where cash only and then make them on sale for first MC (50% off) then cbills (free).

-edit The pack has always been in a strange place. It’s the cheapest way to get a ton of heroes, but most of them are not as good as an existing hero from thier chassis.

It was a good deal then and a better deal now - I just can't help but feel like I got ripped off for $10 since they have only been in the game for 2 months or so.

But they have only been in game for 2 months roughly. It's a good deal that got even better for sure. I just can't help but feel ripped off for $10. Just a little to soon I think.

Dude. Full price was like 8 more bucks. Me, I bought it full price and I ain't even mad. Awesome value in that pack.

The amount isn't the point - it's the timing. Why should I EVER buy anything on or before release if it will simply go on sale less than 2 months after it's release? It's a slap in the face for supporting the game.

Since you put "supporting the game" in there, I don't see how it's a slap in the face. You choose to support the game by the amount charged for intangible digital content, at that point in time. But whatevs. If you wanna be salty about it, who am I to stop you.

I bought it at full price and have no problem with it being discounted - it's just people who otherwise might not have been able to afford it can now do so. It's worth the full price if you are interested in three of the seven mechs; now it's worth the price if you're interested in two of the mechs.

Also of note for those on the fence - the Atlas and Griffin heroes qualify for the event that's currently going on (3 days left in Phase 4 of Mechfest of Champions) so completing their challenges will net you 100 MC and a million c-bills if you don't already have one of those mechs.

Those who bought the Solaris 7 pack earlier were able to use the heroes for the Urbanmech, Firestarter, and Banshee challenges (the Rifleman was part of a group of mechs in phase 1, so you might not have been able to finish that challenge) so buying the pack earlier did allow for an extra 150 to 300 MC and 1.5 to 3 million c-bills versus buying the pack now.

Yeah, I have to agree, my initial reaction is that I do feel a bit cheated too :\

I mean yes, I fully agree that it was a great deal at the time. Still is even at full price.
It's just even more of a great deal now.
Had there been a kind of "early adopter" reward like other mech packs, I wouldn't feel the same I think, now that it would've expired. I just feel meh at the moment :\

But, notwithstanding the above, for potential buyers:
- If you don't buy this pack with THIS great deal at the moment, I don't know what more it'll take you lol I really recommend you buy while the sale lasts!!!

Cheers,

Hey since there was no "Early adopter" award for those of us that bought it at full price, a nice lil' MC bump right now for those that *did* buy it before the sale might go a long way to assuaging some hurt freerings... ;)


...just sayin'

. That’s why they offer preorder benifits. So either order something in the benifit window, or buy MC on sale, then mechbays on sale, and get anything for under a dollar/ free from event play. If ten bucks is the level that you believe is a slap in the face, then there are options for you as well.

There were no pre-order benefits for this one.

I fully agree on all other normal packs though :)

I normally prefer to purchase my mech packs with the preorder bonuses, as it’s purely straight up better value.
