No one said it would be a PLEASANT surprise...

Please show me where they said the surprise would be content and game fixes outside of the confirmed UAC/5 hotfix.

Come on... I dare you to try to justify your childish crying as something valid.

Either you're of sub-par intelligence, a child, or there really is a need for an excavator.

I suppose there's also the outside chance you're actually getting paid to be a shill, but ... unlikely.

This will make me sound like a fanboy but honestly why did people build up such high expectations. There was nothing in the roadmap so it was a bit unrealistic to think that we would get anything major.

And trust me there will be a lot of people that will take them up on the offer and be happy about it.

I think we need to teach these people the definition of "surprise". They seem to have miss interpreted it as "Guaranteed content and game fixes!".

Maybe we should teach PGI what constitutes a surprise worth mentioning and what doesn't.

You have a game that barely works, that players are putting up with in hopes it will become good in the future. Announced is a surprise. Everyone wants it to be a good surprise but it turns out to be "give us more money please".
How is that a pleasant or even wanted surprise to the current player base of this game? If we were all happy as clams, THEN it would be a good surprise but that simply is not the case.
We all have problems from crashes, to lack of content, to lack of nice **** to spend MC on - the experience of playing the game is threading a very fine line between fun and unenjoyable.

What a happy day it is for us to get such a great surprise indeed. Thank you.

You know, I still believe that this game will become good one day... but if there is one thing that it reminds me - it is that as a game developer, you can take a good idea hype it up and then release the idea as incomplete f2p shovel ware with empty promises to back it up and rake in the cash. Once it fails, all you need to do is shut it down and come up with a new idea to repeat the process.

It's not really a discount is it? It's a reward for buying either of the two most expensive MC packages. The packages themselves are not discounted.

Exactly! Giving bonus merchandise as the result of a purchase is not a discount! A discount is selling the merchandise for less!

That said, this surprise is quite disappointing. The nerf to the UAC5 is nice though.

According to most of the posts, they also wanted that leg lamp.

On a holiday i do not expect something major which would be in a big patch, but why not something small but nice like a new skin, a turkey-bubblehead, something completely useless but fun and not a bonus for purchases worth a whole AAA-game while still in beta and suffering from severe problems and a blatant lack of content.

And to top this: i WAS buying the 50$-MC-package and right when i confirmed the purchase the server went down. Now i have a billing receipt in my email account but no MC on my MWO-account and i am quite sure if the MCs show up it will be without the bonus because i was 2 seconds early. And now, just as if PGI wants to proof their skills, i am not able to buy one of the promoted MC-packages, there is is simply no possibility to click on anything and purchase it. They screwed up their sales deal for a screwed up game (well, to be honest, not screwed up but way behind its potential anf that is what makes me sad and rant about it while yet being willing to support the project via purchases).

Becuase it was the only thing that worked correctly...

Sometimes I think you should be required to be THIIIIS tall or at the least have the capability of not acting like a 3 year old to join a beta game.

I won't argue with a few extra MC that I was going to get next month this month. A disco is cool, an off day patch is cool too. Keep at it PGI, can't wait for dx11 support.

can i like this more then once ?

[Broceratops]

contrary to their intentions i'm never buying MC under regular circumstances again because

1) there is nothing to spend it on
2) i've spent about 4 times more on this than most games already and it plays actually quite a bit worse 8v8 than quake 2 from 1999
3) if for some glorious reason there comes a day when I think "boy i need more MC" i'll just wait until they have a sale on it again



seriously PGI, do any of you know anything about how to run a business?

Not Thanksgiving in Canada, the surprise will probably be a Gary Bettman bobblehead with an axe in its head.

Hold my hand, bro. It's going to be alright.

[PartyAlias]

This is so hilarious! At first i was like "a surprise, woohoo! What that might be? Maybe last patch fps drop fix (i had 45 fps on ultra high before it|| 9-25 after it)? Or maybe the Betty will be implemented? Or just maybe, the 8-on8 premades are on?".

I was like that.

But NO. The surprise is "SPEND 50-100 dollars!!!!111, its thanksgiving!".

LOOOOL, i dont even know WHAT THE HELL is thanksgiving? Who should i give thanks for THIS?


Good job at trolling your community, pirahna, great job, actually! Keep it up, until someday you will become absolutely green and megafat.
