Hello everyone...

As I've been doing stuff in the MechLab local to 08:15 UTC on 2025-08-26 right now, it seems like there are repeated In-Game Store Price changes being pushed down the pipeline every few minutes. This is one moment where I can not tell if my mind & eyes are hallucinating what they're seeing... Or if someone at PGI's MWO Staff is having fun messing with my head, and possibly the minds of other people logged onto MWO's Game Client right now. If anyone else is seeing this strangeness, could you please post a reply to tell me I'm not alone here?

Hmm... It's now local to 10:25 UTC on 2025-08-26 and still seeing it happen every so often... I wonder why the FireMoth Chassis is not all showing more than seven (7) days remaining as of when I'm posting here?

Not exactly understanding what you're talking about.

Anyway, screenshots or didn't happen.

The FireMoth is available in store, it's even 50% off, but only in MCs. As it is written in the FAQ it will be available in cbill in October.

when coming out of a game or sitting in the mechlab your game starts loading and says something like " store prices updating" i've seen this twice today an hour ago at least

Periodically, I've been registering alerts during my current session on 2025-08-26 that the In-Game Store has somehow received changes. My system isn't powerful enough to screen record, unfortunately. But it seems I'm totally NOT crazy & hallucinating here, as 'KursedVixen's posting with...

...happens to reflect & confirm what I've been seeing every so often. Hopefully this explains to you, 'epikt', what I'm talking about now.

I'm not talking about the (C-Bills) Final Release at all here. That item is way offside of the point. The thing that I am talking about here is how there are currently differing times remaining for FireMoth Variants with a difference of three days right now between FMT-AL versus all those other FMT's actively displayed. It seems like they should all be marked as On-Sale for the longer time remainder.

OK, I see what you're saying about the FMT: the Aletha is on sales for 7 more days but the standard variants for only 4 days...
Not sure why, but not sure it's worth losing your mind about it.

About your "store price updating" alerts, it might be because they forgot some mech/variant and they're fixing the mistake.

That's the weird part... I ultimately pinned it all down, and none of the stock was changing. The only thing altered was the Sale time remaining on that FMT-AL Variant's item entry. Weird, huh?

UPDATE :: Shortly after I put this post live with the first Edit done, the FMT-AL's remaining Sale Time has changed once again... I think someone is enjoying watching me react...

I briefly saw the Clan Archer on sale for a few days which got me excited only to see that sale disappear more quickly than I thought it would. I'm guessing a mistake was made.

Look at the bright side, boys, it seems PGI is hiring interns again

It is what it is. Just had a moment of "was I imagining that" and then "I am pretty sure I wasn't" and this confirms that there may have been some hiccups.

Maybe that's possible, albeit potentially unlikely due to a past hiring freeze... Or perhaps there's a chance, like maybe someone in PGI's MWO Staff is trying to debug something on 2025-08-26 about the In-Game Sales systems which we're all limited by?

(p.s.: If you were more on the side of cracking a joke there, it may have partly gone over my head. Sorry about that!)

The fact it happened more than once says more than that though... or do you guys update one entry at a time?
