This game is free-to-play. They've already said that they aren't going to sell anything that gives a player an advantage, and I guess that means mechs and weapons. ...

I wasn't going to comment in this thread as I feel Beta's should not be paid for. Actually it should be as it was when You got paid for testing a unfinished project. With that being said They are already doing what you have stated they said they would not.

Case in Point. Phoenix pack. Pay and you get advantage of Mechs before the FTP model.
Case in Point: XP to GXP is blatant PTW
Those are the 2 that stand out to me. I'm sure there will be more.

Now If this was an INDIE project I would throw cash at it all day. BUT this is not even remotely Indie.

HERE Is what I will Pay for:

A Finished Balanced Game!

[Kamelkaze]

Urbanmech!

I'd pay to customize my founders mech.........well at some point.

[Galen Crayn]

I would buy the Wolverine and Urbanmech. And i would pay a lot for customization of the mechs with other shoulders, nose, head...

If I design my own logo I do have an issue with paying to upload my own art. Especially if PGI makes a little legal statement that indicates they automatically own whatever I upload. So, no, I do not agree with this point. Other cosmetic changes that PGI actually generates such as colors and camo patterns they have full rights to charge whatever they want.

FOR MWO AS IT IS: I'd probably buy 3 additional mechbays.

FOR SOMETHING ELSE: I'd buy a single-player campaign/s.
Look, BattleTech has had several writers who has written several novels about this universe. And novels has been a staple of the BattleTech franchise since what, the 1980's? Its just like Warhammer40k when it comes to products except that I am yet to see actual physical Warhammer40K trading cards.

A single player campaign, or chapters, or episodes released seasonally featuring a great story with great plot and utilizing the game's engine; that's something I'd buy. Ever experienced watching a TV show and you can't wait for the next episode? Yeah, something like that.

Its just an idea though because making a "book" out of a videogame is way more complicated than just writing a book. And writing a book in the scale of novels is complicated enough already.

And also, they have to price it right. The price should be low enough for most people in different regions across the globe to afford, but the story must be gripping as well, and not written badly of "cliche-ly" if you know what I mean.

Download MWO, and from there players can buy the "episodes" or "books," "novels" or whatever you want to call it wherein the player doesn't just read the story, s/he must be in the story. "Linear" story or "different ending based on player choices" story, whatever.



This game alone has the potential to even revive the waning PC joystick industry.

I'd pay for an XBOX one version of the game with a kinect sensor for a bobble head. You should see my post in the suggestions forum. Lots of great ideas.

Stupid forum doubled my text. Go figure.

I would pay for ******* ELO to work like the real ******* ELO. Make a score, then put players with similar scores together. It automagically provides an average 50/50 win/loss ratio while not being as ******* frustrating as the current ***-backward system.

[RSA001]

I would like to buy a the Mauler mech. That is the best mech I piloted during mechwarrior 4.

[MechWarrior849305]

I would love to pay 25-50MC and even more sometimes to play preferable map this particular match, especially when I tired of gettin the same map 5-10-15 matches in a raw

[Crown Warrior]

well... I would hate to ride in Bitey's car my car is VERY clean so will be my mech

I would pay $2 for customer decal or logo for my mechs, but I personaly paying $30 to buy a mech is a bit too much. Considering I have mastered Stalker and can't get a Misery if I don't want to pay $30, I guess Misery will stay on back burner till it goes on sale, or I could get it really cheap. I would pay many mil of c-bills for it tho... even if I have to work many days and nights to raise the cash

[FupDup]

If the timeline was farther ahead, I'd insta-buy a Duncan Fischer hero Uziel (his favorite medium mech) that plays the voice clip "KAPOW!" after every kill.

[Leafia Barrett]

You know what I would pay for?
I'd pay for the ability to prevent any gameplay-altering item of any type (including hero mechs, and anyone who says those are justifiable because they're not "objectively better" can kiss my ***) from ever being money only. I don't care if the hero mechs would end up being ~30mil CBs, at least they'd be accessible to people who can't afford to pay for them otherwise.

I agree, I would pay for no PTW! Excellent point even though you made my head hurt with the grammar! Maybe cause I'm drunk.

A better idea would be to either let players earn MC or give them a weekly allowance.

[tigermaster]

i would like to see a permanent c-bill boost that can be combined with premium and mech boosts.

[3Xtr3m3]

And A decal that says..

THIS THIS OH MY GOD THIS. Maybe a similar system to CBs, in that a portion of your CB earnings would be translated to MC. Obviously it would need to be smaller than 5%, but still. Even if it's just 1MC a match, at least that would be something.
