I'll wait for the Clans.

I still think that Clantech will be practically MC-only.

Meh... By the time clan 'mechs arrive, we'll all have 200,000,000 MC.

I'm waiting on my investments until

• MWO balance becomes more stable and predictable (so I know I don't blow the money on an obsolete mech)
  
• MWO sorts out its netcode, matchmaking and general stability and glitchyness issues.
  
• I know I will actually have the time to play the game, beyond several hours on weekends
  
• I get more then 20FPS out of the game, for a gtx 560ti on quad-core xeon I really expect more for what I see ingame.

The game sure is fun, but definitely not ready to burn any of my real money invested in it. That also goes for premium activation, until I know the game is going to work when I want to play it, and that I will have enough free time to capitalize on the premium, I'm not going to click that button.


I fear many others may be holding out on investments for similar reasons, i.e. investing real money now is too much of a risk because a lot can change with the next patch. Hell, for all I've witnessed, we'll be lucky if the game is still playable after the next patch.

Nothing.

Ask for a refund and buy your girlfriend or wife something nice. I mean this is the internets...I"m sure the OP is dating a super-model.

I am waiting for a hero mech I like (eg raven) or the clans. It think they will do ab intro program like the founders. I wel probably also spend some on mechbays in the mean time

[Jason1138]

the only thing i've bought so far with mine is bays. i refuse to buy anything with MC ever if its available with C-bills. so it would have to be something i would want that was MC only, i guess

[LethalMezzle]

I'm planning to spend all of mine on Mech Bays.

[Taizan]

Grabbed myself 14400 MCs a few days ago in lieu of the upcoming customization options.

[8RoundsRapid]

I will spend my future MC's on mech bays, permanent paint, and mechs once they get the real game up and running. When community warfare hits, and gets about 4 patches for balance/bugs, at that point, if this game is still fun, I'll buy and spend MCs.

But PGI doesnt get one penny until they deliver.

I bought 2 atlas varients and I spent rest of my MC on mechbay slots. I have 30 mechbay slots now, and I will eventually fill them all up by buying mechs with cbills.

I did not sell the atlas varients, I like them all and mastered them.

Cockpit decorations if the price is right. Paint prices are outrageous though.

Where do you see paint prices listed?

[Purplefluffybunny]

I would highly recommend hording onto MC until the game goes gold and we have some idea of what community warfare entails. Once the game is more feature complete, you would be in a better position to judge what to spend MC on. Of course, PGI would perhaps beg to differ and encourage you to spend MC now.

Im saving my MC in hopes of PvE content being added

PGI is gonna love you and you friends spending $800000 on a game! I thought I was dedicated... I was wrong.

[Wizard Steve]

So far, I've bought mechs, mech bay slots and converted XP to GXP. So basically everything. I'll be buying camo once it's available too.

[shintakie]

Echoin the permanent paint options and possibly cockpit items. Other than that more mechbays is about the only thing I'll spend money on, unless some hero mech comes out for a mech I actually enjoy with a variant I could play. I'd totally pay MC for the Fire Ant >.>

[xxx WreckinBallRaj xxx]

Hero variants to Mechs that are actually good. I knew Centurion would be trash the second a bigger Mech was released, and now everyone that bought that YLW feels ripped off.

Permanently owned skins like League of Legends.

More premium sooner or later.
