Posted ImageI thought my wallet was done taking a beating, but I suppose not Posted Image After watching a surge of Mechwarriors play their new Heros they got over the holidays, I'm definitely considering picking up a few more Posted Image Best part is, I'll be able to afford the full loadout now too...

I have a lot of mechs that are currently unfitted, but no longer after this! Posted Image I'm probably going to be dumping my C-bills into buying new mechs to fill up all the empty mechbays I bought. My goal still is to own one of each mech Posted Image I think I might start off buying the expensive clan assaults first, since they'll be significantly cheaper at 50% off. Anyone have any favorite Heavy/Assaults I should buy?

PS I'm sorry, I had to, here's the joke: Is that a big deal in your pants? Or are you just happy to see me?

Very good sale and very helpful to new players o7
So now I will finally manage to get a couple of assaults to have even more fun, as for the mech bays I bought them but cant even fill 1/3 of them because lack of C-bills xD

You know what PGI? It's a long time since I bought anything. And I still play the game with some minor breaks. I don't need anything, but I will buy something today just to say "thanks" for all the good time I have in MWO.

@ Matt -- This is a Cool Sale, and is much appreciated. I've been able to spruce up one of my Mechs so far, with the possibility of enhancing others. :D

Out of curiosity, is there any chance that the Letter and/or Word types of Decals could be part of the rest of this Sale, please? It might be just me, but they feel like it has been ages since they were last discounted. :o

Slowly getting the remaining chassis, bought another 6:
Ice Ferret (so far not convinced, fragile arms have most hardpoints)
Stormcrow
Gargoyle
Executioner
Supernova (an A of course Posted Image )
Mad Cat MK II

So the missing ones are just:
Kodiak
Dire Wolf
Timber Wolf
Viper

Any recommendations for these 4?

was thinking about another one. at 46 cents per mech bay who can turn it down. they cost $1.68 without a sale an 84 cents with one. so its almost 4 for the price of 1.

I ended up with ~46,000,000 C-BILLS by the time this event started. About 21m of that was from the Grab Bag event for christmas alongside whatever I acquired while playing to acquire those bags. The other 25m of that was from the Warhammer Black Widow I had bought during the 50% hero sale we just had and played it almost exclusively since then. I ended up really liking it and made about 500k C-BILLS each match due to the premium time + hero bonus. I'm now down to 36k C-BILLS though after completely overhauling about 15 mechs.

You have got to read the thread a bit more... :P

It so happens that Voice of Kerensky already identified what it is, as per this quote...

How do you have enough cbills?

Been playing MWO for a long time ... and the conversion to the new skill tree got me a lot of CBills, although I don't remember how much I had before. Buying and refitting the 6 mentioned mechs cost me about 56M, so I still had 624M left. Enough to buy the remaining 4 chassis - ok, the Dire Wolf hero will cost MC, but in a sale, that's ok - and refit them.

Experience with the new mechs so far:
Ice Ferret is weak. Got the P, very fragile and no punch.
Stormcrow is ok, using it with lots of SPL and ER micro lasers, have to get used to it.
Executioner/Gladiator (not sure which is which): One with LBX20 and SPL/ERMicroLasers, maybe, the other with 3 ERPPCs and ERMicroLasers, quite ok.
Mad Cat MKII-B: With 2xUAC10/2xUAC5: very fragile arms, could be ok.
Supernova-A: Fitted it with ATM12s, man do these have a stupid firing arc, they don't even try to rise high enough to get over an obstacle.
