Im going with the music. Nothing like rockin out while blowin up sum baddies. just imagine sitting there with some metal going on vibrating your whole mech while all the OpFor is blowing up around you.

I would pay for weight reduction and heat shield increased.
as long as the price is a fare one ofcourse.

1.99 i think would be a fare price

[ManTroniK]

I would suggest against people buying better weapons with real money... It makes the game unfair. Animations, skins, and cockpit modifications would be good to buy (with real money). But not weapons.

How about, certain maps/arenas one should pay for? for example competition maps, maybe?

Why not follow the same principle as what Guild wars did... you buy the game... and that is it. No subscriptions.

[Squidhead Jax]

ALL the cosmetics.

[Kilgore]

I would pay for in-game sound tracks to listen to like the background music from previous games like MW2, MW3.

I would pay for in-game clan/unit advertising like the No Guts, No Galaxy podcast does.

I would pay alot of money for an actual mechwarrior true game to the genre, it looks like the game did that up until they decided it was pvp only.... which is totally against the genre since all the previous games were storyline etc based.... I kinda feel someone just took a popular name and idea to put on their pvp game. If any co-op or single player mode is put in I will buy this game at the same price other new games are released at, and if content was updated regularly I'd pay subscription fee's the same as I pay for other great game subscriptions. I'm not concerned about it having to be free to play, I'm concerned that the genre will never return, PLEASE remember online does not mean pvp, if you think that you have never played online besides some battlefields or black ops console type, I've played online since evercrack/ultima/asherons call.

You do realize that the Battletech franchise started out as a wargame, right? It's fundamentally PvP.

Frankly, the thought of a theme park MMO version of Mechwarrior makes my head explode. Even Eve's quickly-dull 'mining, but with explosions' PvE wouldn't really work, since the game is supposed to be about fighting in big, stompy robots. The big, stompy robots shouldn't be endlessly meandering around the surface of a planet looking for one more Steiner Scout Atlas to bag so the MechWarrior can turn in a contract, they should be participating in actual battles in a theater of operations. That kind of PvE gameplay, that MechWarrior lends itself to, is fundamentally contained rather than shared, and would only benefit from a co-op mode rather than a full (and mandatory, yuck) online experience.

Hopefully, if MWO is successful it will spur sufficient investment for a MechWarrior 5.

What would I pay for. I would pay a monthly fee for it to resemble more of the table top armor/damage dynamics. What I would kill to see 9pts of armor with 3pts of internal on all mechs for the head. And armor that followed the table top dynamics and pt system along with the damage pts of the battletech game. Though I know that would alienate a large base of the fps, generic, genre.

[elitewolverine]

Oh oh, and to make it fair for those people that don't want to die so quickly with the table top armor settings, just make a 'real' section that has higher rewards etc, and a 'casual' section. I would pay 20/month for that possibly 30.

*eyeroll* If you actually paid attention to the numbers, you'd notice that every weapon fires at more than twice the TT rate - so 'mechs are actually more fragile than in tabletop relative to weapon outputs.

Eye roll...fire rate means jack when a guass to the head requires one shot in TT...here 2...(which is hard to do against a running jenner)

Or how about double back armor, when a ppc should rip though the back of a 50tonner and instead it doesnt?

And heat dissipation? Not double rate (But it is higher than one), shouldnt it be double? After all, armor is doubled, fire rate is doubled...why not heat?

I had 16 heat sinks, a erLL, with BT rules, i should never rank up heat, here after shots i do, and can shut down (though it takes some time)

As well, my lasers dont do single section damage. Negating double fire rate. My 8pt erLL, doesnt hit for 8pts it hits like a shotgun...

So again, i would pay to have things 'normal', since all phases in a turn are approx 10secs...i wouldnt mind my PPC taking 7seconds vs 5 seconds to refresh if i knew i could damage the crap out of things.

But alas i understand the days of MW2 and MW3 are gone and have given way to the MW4 style of the BT rules on the PC. Doesnt mean i cant 'ask' and 'suggest' and 'what would i pay for'

So what you want is a one-click alpha-fest, and you complain about the 'fps' crowd? Or is it that you want some dice to do the aiming for you, yet you complain about the 'casual' crowd?

Yes, heat is ****** up. This is known and a lot of us are trying to get that fixed. But doubled armor and higher fire rate are an intentional counter to one-hit alpha kills, poptarting, and all the stupid crap... from MW4.

[Johnny Z]

The top recent games offer additional content in their DLC's. MWO has the makings to outclass them all. Buying serious DLC's when available would be nice.

I'll probably get flamed for pointing out the obvious but. . .

I paid cash for a Legendary Founder's pack. Yes I want to support the game the community, etc et al. But I can not pretend that I did not pay cash for four mechs that I did not "earn" and the ability to make C-Bills faster. That is paying real cash for an advantage in game. Let us not start calling the kettle black mister frying pan.

Any pruchaseable advantage will quickly ruin the game for anyone too poor to afford a pair of clan ER PPCs

Well first of all, what about people who don't have the "time money" to play the game but has a 80k a year job? Time is also money in sense. You should be able to use real money to buy things, but one thing you can never buy is know how and skill.

What I really like to see in this game and I would pay for is:

1. What you see is what you get. What I mean by this is that if you put a PPC on a mech, you willl see the PPC on the mech and if you load a LRM or SRM of differnt sizes your missle pods change.

2. Another thing I would pay for is a editing mode where you can edit the look of your mech like in APB.

If free to play is what this game is based on, then thats how it should be. BUT if their are accessories that give those who pay for advaned items an advantage over those who cant afford/cannot in general, than whatever is to be purchased should be limited to none stat boosting material. Otherwise un-paying members will become angry and play less/ stop playing resulting in loss of funds, publicity, and over all good word of the game.

This game will go to **** if the investers don't get their returns.

[BeerSteiner]

Rather than blindly fighting for salvage, like some damned vulture how about a GOAL to reach? Make our battles mean something on a wider scale. How about a interstellar map wih regions to control that provide resources of some kind ? pay for participation in certain battles that can make a difference in the game world. This game at it's essence is about war on a huge scale. Give us a feeling of participation in that war for God's sake! there is little back story at this point, just pointless fighting. So many would pay for access to a WAR that they feel they can alter or at least particippate in.. People will pay if they FEEL it. Just my 2 cents. So far this game is fun, but blind pointless fighting, even in new skins/ mechs will grow old in time if there isn't something interesting to do. WoW has an Alliance and a Horde who fight for something...at this point, what are we fighting for? <don't ask me I don't give a damn, the next stop is Viet Nam and it's 5,6,7,8 open up the pearly gates...> whoah... flashback sorry ... : P

My suggestion on cash shop items: Clan tech.

Which would make MWO pay-to-win
As for what i would pay real money for, mech customization (paint, decals) would be cool.

...rainbows with fluffy clouds, art deco, all kinds of different things...

Please god no! lol
Personally i would hate seeing mechs in ridiculous bright patterns running around. it would kill the immersion and make the game less enjoyable. Just my opinion, but i say the devs should offer a selection of basic colors (red, blue, green, gray, brown, white etc) and camo patterns (woodland, digital, urban etc) in the cash store and give players the option for custom decals (that would require approval) to be used.

[dafunklull]

I would pay for a single player game

so so so so very very very sick of pvp such a lame 2 bit method to farm money out of players let the customers BEAT EACH OTHER UP SO THEY GIVE US MONEY!.. such a dirty sales tactic could you imagine if walmart could do this?! PVP at the WALMART!! every one gets baseball bats pay 10$ u get the one with the nail in it winners get walmart coin good at walmart! ..

Put some Cooperative play in to it not just strict pvp please not just pvp please not just pvp Anything but stright pvp I cant stand hating my fellow players i want to play with them not against them!.

one team of people vsing another Team of people IS PLAYER VS PLAYER and im done with it i will not send a penny to this untill this offers up anything new to the plated theres new pvp only mmo game sprouting daily and i wish them all short lives. and ctf is ctf now matter how many flags you have or base.

sorry if the post is garbled no forum post ever changed anything so I guess it doesn't matter anyway
