I'd pay for the following:

- additional hardpoints and changing a type of hardpoint into universal ones. This is absolutely something we need because we are now extremely limited in our mech design. after 25 years of fine tuning, it's now very very frustrating not being able to play well tested mods in the game just because you decided a mech has not the right hardpoints.

- the chance to REMOVE hands and lower arm actuators. that damn right hand in Awesomes prevents me from adding 1 more double heat sink!!!!!

- UNSEEN. BUY the right to use the Unseen, one by one. and we'll repay you them one by one as well!

Thought the Pink Highlander was an April fools joke. Had money all ready for Highlander and going to get three for grinding. Sure Hero mech first is thats what it takes. I AM NOT going to buy a pink highlander hero mech. Change color today or the next day and you have a sale. I bought all three jagermechs the day they came out. Would do the same with the Highlander. I AM NOT going to buy a pink highlander. ((((I lied I bought a pink Highlander. Evidently I have all the will power of a stick of butter)))))

Fine. Don't buy a pink Highlander. Just in case there is any chance you're not aware, it is canon.

I firmly believe the whole hard point idea is wrong and totally against the basic game principles that we have been playing for in the past 25 years. BUT, as it seems we're not getting anything like universal hardpoints for free, this is something I would pay for. I am not sure whether to label this as P2W or not. But after many mechwarrior games that gave us total freedom (as tabletop game did), this hardpoint restriction is irritating to the least

A spiked collar for my raven. A hero Raven with 10 missle slots. A raven with... nah I'm j/k but, the dog collar would be awesome. Oh, A VW Bug on a chain to put on my Awesome. Sound bites for taunting. Horns/Halo for the non-chicken mechs. Almost forgot the most important one.... A CUP HOLDER.

Not going to happen and was never going to happen. There was either a comment or an interview somewhere though I can't find it to cite it here. Thought it might have been in here (But it wasn't) or perhaps it was during a live recording of an NGNG podcast, but someone from PGI effectively said something like:

"[We've tried getting hold of Harmony Gold to inquire about their 'unseen' IP, but we're just getting no response. But the other stuff from Dougram* like the Shadow Hawk, Battlemaster, etc...]".

* Can't remember if the comment re: Dougram was was something like "[Who knows]" or "[Maybe]" or "[We'll see]".

So to break this down:

• You like the idea of turning MechWarrior online in to BoatWarrior online? (More than it already is, with high alpha being the name of the game at the moment)
  
• And you're ok for the ability to pay for that? (Given that in F2P and in general with MWO to date, a guiding principle is 'Don't offer something you can pay for which you can't earn through grinding', i.e. don't do P2W).

[Marcus Braddock]

Ignore that scrub, keep it cosmetic for the most part with MC. No Boatwarrior Online for me, thanks.

I'd pay for different voices for my battle computer. I'm sure there's tons of cool things, and tons of humorous things you could have in there.

[Makenzie71]

There's a few things I would shell out some cash for. The first to come to mind are:

Every timey my gun jams, I want a stick to shoot out of the barrel with a giant "bang" flag. I won't be able to see it, but it'll be a small piece of hilarity for everyone else.

I want a Catapult with two energy hard points and four ballistic hard points (two arm, two torso), and two energy hard points (torso).

I want custom paint. I know we have a lot of options, but they're nothing I want to pay for...so I stick with my green cats. However, if we had an option akin to cool borders 2, I would pay a few bucks to use it. Or even GXP.

[3rdworld]

I would pay money for you to fix the bugs.

in 6 attempted team vs team last night, I was bugged or crashed on 3 of them. That is unacceptable.

How many hero mechs do I need to buy for you to fix your game?

[PsychoJosh]

I would pay for the option to have custom artwork covering my mech.

I want my mech covered in anime girls.

i would agree except i have met the online community and custom images WILL be abused. if you have any doubts go play team fortress and check out some of the custom sprays.

I don't agree with paying for the core aspects of the game, Hero Mech's I have no problem with because they are exclusive and unique and little extras like decals and interior items should be paid for. I dislike microtransactions to be quite honest and I feel that having to work for your Mech's and weapons is the best business model for a game that is purely online, it is far more rewarding having to start at the bottom and work your way up the ladder in order to be highly competitive online, if people don't want it that way they can go play something else.

I dunno, I think custom decals could work if they were one of the more costly items and abuse resulted in loss of not only that money investment but also banning from the game.

When I have spare money to throw around, I would pay to support the developers. My preferred in-game reward would be anything under the sun which doesn't make me feel cheap for buying an advantage. I know it's not very specific, so... I guess access to parade paint jobs? That wouldn't feel cheap, I guess. I don't like the Atlas much, but if I did it would be a texture for the Atlas Face as depicted in the pre-vis video. BEST. ATLAS. FACE. EVAR.

I'd love to see a paid alternate version of the Atlas as per MechWarrior 3: Pirates Moon's original design, the new one doesn't look as true to the original nor as daunting to be honest! Also, all the House leader Mech variants would be sweet too.

[FlipOver]

I'd pay for pretty much anything on this game, but not while it's a beta version and also not while it has so many connectivity, performance, stability and bug issues.

Actually, the one that still surprises me, as it is often requested, is the cup holder. When it comes, I particularly hope whatever beverage in it sloshes/spills as you walk. Even better when you take a big hit and your cockpit shakes and you spill hot coffee on yourself and the dashboard, maybe with some sparks and "ECM...Offline".

Already getting ready to buy my House Davion hologram for my cockpit as well as some fresh camo...

What would -really- make me open up my wallet though, would be a Vulture, or Mad Cat/Mad Cat MkII chassis.

Heck yeah.

Also a car mech stereo system! Internal of course(unlike the Heavy Metal), with sounds bars and so on.

Hero mechs that do something special. Like an Awesome with a ballistic hardpoint for example. I keep thinking about the Pretty Baby and how it is destined for the dumpster just because it can't carry an assault mech loadout. I am uncertain about the HGN-HM, but I suspect it will be eclipsed by free HGN versions. I think this approach to Hero Mechs is a mistake and you will soon train players to not buy them anymore.

Making the Hero Mechs equal but special somehow compared to the free versions is not pay to win. In short the Hero mechs should be the equal of any free version model, then add whatever would make it qualify as the "Hero's" mech.

The YLW is unique and maybe the best Centurion. The Muromets is uniquely able to carry 3 larger ballistics. That's great.

The Pretty Baby is able to torso twist slightly more than normal, but is gutted of the hardpoints that would make it an Assault class mech. That's very bad, and with that I just stopped buying Hero mechs until the HGN-HM. The HGN-HM seems limited in hardpoints, but has enough to be filled competitively so it will get used unlike the Pretty Baby. Not sure that makes it worth the money.

Basically I am not going to drop that much money on a mech designed to be inferior to please a vocal group who whine P2W every 3 seconds. I don't need the 30% CBill bonus from a Hero mech, I need the Hero mech to be a competitive choice. Winning is a much higher CBill bonus than 30%
