1)It would be great but i think people will lose interest in the game
2)Not changin the current system is Bad and we know it
3)THis is a compromission and really maybe we should test that out

I think doing like League of Legends does (or did, it's been a while), was have a set of trial mechs but have the set rotate through all the mechs\variations every week or so. Although I disagree with the trial mech grind, I do think they're handy to have around at the start so new folks can get an idea of what's their favorite playstyle is and get their first mech to suit it.

[CannonFodder86]

at the moment to total mech list might be too small. but i would like to see a weekly rotation start up.

Why dont make ALL mechs an option??? why should we wait a week

[Jman5]

Rather than make every mech available as a trial mech, players should have the option to drive it around the block once before purchasing.

So you drop 6 million on a new mech, and then you get to play 1 game with it. After the game is over, you'll be asked if you want to make the purchase permanent.

Yea This is Good option Too hmm Yea i would happy but .... most mechs to be Candy need to be modifyied so.... i dont know if that help But test in battle for 1 time will be great but It should be JUST 1 time

**** the trial mechs, just have them there 4 at a time or something for people to try if they are bored.
Add a tutorial and reward new people who complete the tutorial with their very own flea or some ****. Then they have the best of all worlds.

I understand the furstration but ..... We need to be Rational ... PGI wants our Cash so they say Pay or Grind that is all..... it would be less painfull to grind if all mechs were open ....

Not really since you can't customize or earn exp.

Having a mech of your own, even a crappy one is a million times better than any trial.

[Dukarriope]

I say double the available number of trial mechs, or something like that. Or at least increase the rate of rotation. As much as I enjoy popping newbs who think the gigantic Atlas-K is DA SHHIZZ (gauss rifle takes the XL300 with it), I can see how that's extremely off putting to anyone who is both a new player and has expectations of something so apparently large and powerful.

Maybe that is the Role of Flea and urban mech i dont know ....but trial system have some benefits,,,.... you can wack around and do crazy things

[Vovochka404]

I don't understand why this rotation can't be done on server side? Why does it need patching a client? It is soooo stupid.
With a server side rotation they can randomly rotate that mechs every day. And this will be ok. This is how it must works, it does not need any client patching.

Yes,,,, that maybe the answer then ...

[Karyu]

No, but they should not rely on Trial mechs for the New Player Experience! They need a "get your first mech free or cheap" type option AFTER players get a chance to check them out via Trials. (i.e. force them to drop 4 times, once in each trial weight class, then give them the option to "purchase" one of them at a discount with the Cbills they earned from their trial matches. It would be better yet if the 4 missions were done after a "training grounds" type mission that familiarized players with controlling the mech.

[xXDivoXx]

Yes but the Idea of the Trial mechs are ....Marketing Pay or Grind.... this is F2P so ....i dont know how much money they make but if they are still in the game that means this Trial mech system is giving them money

[Sean von Steinike]

I'd like to see them rotate daily or weekly.

[HC Harlequin]

I think you should also get mech Xp for the trial mechs.

No, the role of the flea is gonna be cannon fodder since PGI cannot do fast mechs at all. It'll have the same speed as a jenner with worse weapons and armour.

[xXDivoXx]

So Great I like that everybody agree that we need to Change the trial mechs to be fun)

[Reoh]

A day isn't long enough. Keep the same mechs for like a week-fortnight before rotating them.
