Tribes Ascend got me to spend tons of gold (MC) by having daily deals. I'd like to see this added to MWO, it would work great. Here is a UI mockup of this idea.

Thoughts/Ideas?

Would love to see some weekend specials. People go crazy for that stuff. Wouldn't mind seeing a daily bonus for first match of the day either.

It'd be nice to see some daily specials, I'd be inclined to drop a few real world dollars to get a good deal.

It depends on what they're selling. If it's just MC then not so much. Perhaps vanity items included with MC or reskinned Mechs with a slight bonus.

+20

[ShadowDarter]

I like this idea, its one that will make money for PGI, and give a chance for people to grab a bargin if they want one +1

[Dr Killinger]

I love the idea! Sometimes, an item costs just a bit too much... would I pay $20 for an Atlas? Probably not... 50% off? Now we can talk! I don't only think this will benefit the community, but PGI will rake in bucketloads of cash which means more mech goodness for us... win-win!

I love this idea.

[Taryys]

interesting idea...

[Sprouticus]

I just assumed this was going to happen, the costs are too high otherwise.


I do like the idea of your 1st match giving bonus XP/C-Bills every day. Maybe even as high as triple bonus.

Edit:
Even better, make it your first WIN, so if you lose you dont feel like you are getting screwed.

Not a bad idea.

[Adeptis]

Wholehearted support for this.

[Roburn Bliss]

These type of offers seem to work great for Valve's Steam.

[Attalward]

Yep daily deals are teh way to go.

[Byk]

Fantastic idea. This is how games like League of Legends get people to buy their favorite skins for money, who may have been on the fence about it before, but now they can't resist now that the price is lower. I am very guilty of doing this.

PGI, you better be reading this thread.

Daily deals and a first win of the day bonus(per mech maybe) are both excellent ideas that really need to be implemented.

[Cmdr Harabec]

This is an excellent idea that needs more attention. It's beneficial to both players and the developers without being an overly aggressive money grab. Weekend deals would work better I think than daily, though, and it should be either MC or Cbills or both depending on the weekend, as well as only apply to one particular chassis - not all. That way you don't run out of things to put on sale so quickly.

Also, props to the extra income for first win idea, though I'd say I think it should be more like your first half hour of play sees extra winnings in my mind -- or x amount of matches, win or lose.

[Meatpurse]

Yes, this x100. A person is more likely to impulse buy when something is on sale, and a first win bonus would definitely ease the grind ever so slightly.
