Wanna shop for consumables on sale. Difficulty arises when trying to do a bulk purchase. Waste of time to buy in increments of 10. Can you guys make it increments of 100 or something. Or remove the limit alltogether...

Thank you,

Thank you,

You aren't buying consumables with MC are you? That is a complete waste

I've just bought 150+ Coolshot, 100+ Airstrike, 100+ Artillery Strike, 150+ UAV, and it was a pain to buy these 10x at a time!

Please please please

TOTALLY AGREE!

I'm a bit stingy and always try to stack up on sale items; having to buy consumables ten at a time over and over is a massive PITA, honestly.

Changing this to 99 max (to fit in the current double digit counter), or no max, seems like an easy but worthwhile quality of life improvement for MWO.

Wait... Consumables go on sale? But they're so cheap they're basically participation awards?

I just check the box to automatically refill the slot at the end of the match.. never have to worry about buying coolshots

That's nice, but most players use 3-4 cons per match. That's 120k or 160k cb per match, so we basically save 60k-80k worth of cb every match, and that's why most of us stock up while they're on sale.

I play roughly 100 matches per month, give or take.
I nearly always use 2 coolshots per match, so lets extrapolate this as around 180 coolshots per month
180 coolshots at 40k cbills per unit costs 7.2M cbills
At 50% off, you're saving 3.6M cbills
Now if I purchased a year's supply of coolshots at 50% off, I'd effectively be saving 43.2M cbills
43.2M cbills could buy me 1728 skill points
43.2M cbills could buy me 4 dire wolves
43.2M cbills could buy me 27 urban mechs

While I'm not incapable of earning enough cbills to buy ANY of these things, it makes plain sense that buying something that I use nearly constantly at a 50% discount will eventually stack to significant savings. If I could buy 1000 coolshots in a few clicks I most certainly would

But until that day comes (not holding my breath), autoclicker ftw

"Tier One Problems." In T5 almost no one ever uses any consumables. Expect a couple UAVs per game maybe. But as a QOL fix this could be a nice thing to do. Go forth and arty spam!

Maybe T5 (mostly new players?) don't use them because they cannot afford to use them.
And how do you know if other people in T5 uses coolshots or not?

An overgeneralization on my part, but they are certainly used less than in T1 matches I have watched. You are correct that beginners sure can't afford it, or at least would be losing money if they maximized using them. As to the coolshots, I can't really tell except I have seen a lot of overheating mechs.

[Heavy Money]

Yeah it shouldn't be hard to increase the amount you can have. Or have a pack of like 10 and 100 and let us buy 10 of those packs. I would like to buy like 1,000 coolshots.

I don't like the consumables so I don't use them, but really it shouldn't be a problem for at least those to be bought in bulk.

Also make consumables occupy a crit slot per item, even if they don't take tonnage they should be balanced into the game with slot occupancy.

They are already balanced by cost, skill tree points to make them somewhat useful and are pretty damn nerfed to ground compared to how good they were 4-5 Years ago.

Here is example of arty 2019.

They shouldn't cost anything but the initial equipment purchase imo, but either way it's an equipment/charge that you use it should be built into your loadout.

Buying consumables in bulk on sale is an entire meta that I never even knew existed.
