No mech pack sale last week of annual rewards, no mech pack sale black friday.

There was one at the start of November though.

Not to make you do garish boasting, but could we have pictures of that (for example, one from the In-Game Store, another from the In-Game MechLab WareHouse) at 200% Zoom to view, please?

Dafuq do you need to buy 200 individual coolshots for? You can auto-fill the consumables.

Wait, did you just bought those with MC?

EDIT:

Oh I get it. Bulk sale.

Sorry, Dev, that was from a "research project" we did when the first ever coolshot sale was on. I'm not gonna go through that Tendosynovitis ever again... (at least as long as you can buy from the store only in batches of 10s )


Edit: found it!

Yeah. It does save you up some C-Bills in the long term. Pity that you can only buy the consumables 10 at a time. XD

Yep, I thought the same. I'd like to buy 10000 in one go and never bother again. Ever.

Congratulations, then. I have over 380 mechs and my C-Bill balance rarely goes above some 6-8 mil unless it's right after a Solaris season and I just cashed out 20-30 mil in rewards (and then I kit out a few of my untouched mechpack purchases and it's down to the ground again). Minmaxing the economy for fun and profit can be helpful.

i think im at 317. but they are all mastered and fully equipped. probably had a lot to do with the skill tree refunds. prior to skill trees i had mastered every mech you can get with cbills, and a few you cant. not all at once mind you, id buy a mech and sell it as soon as it was mastered. but i havent had to worry about cbills since then. i also have an absurd number of hero mechs. its amazing how many cbills you get out of fp with an all hero deck, provided you arent on the wrong side of a stomp its never lower than a mil.

I agree. It takes a very long time to buy 10 pieces of cool shots.
I did it not in one go, but in several approaches in two days. I bought 100 - 150 shots, played 2 - 3 fights, bought 100 shots again, played a few more battles. This is how I bought cool shots.

Why is the announcement still in the game notification pop up and on the front page of the website when the 50% off deal is over.

I mean I was away from the game for awhile but... this seems abit... happy go lucky.
