152 pages no doubt thisll all get lost in the void..but...
Why is PGI not selling engines, weapons and everything else like modules for MC? Any of these items could easily be MC or CBILLS, and would no doubt generate some MC sales. As long as its always both MC and cbills. Same for Hero mechs - why not sell them for cbills but without the 30% bonus if yu buy with cbills? it IS pay to win - we cant stick an AC20 into an arm unless we buy a Wang. Lame!!!
Nothing in this game should be MC only. The coolant flush is ********. the damn heatcap is already so high and easy, and now you can overrirde before you ever shutdown, an "overide" macro will insure you never shutdown. Great for the WoW kiddies no doubt.
Now, we have a new handhold, the old fluid flush. in norespawn, One 35% flush means a lot - that crucial moment in battle when you can dump 1 more 6 ppc alpha/whatever. And as I'm reading it, now some dude with more money than someone else can buy one every match? Great, lets invite that rich 1% right into MWO to beat on us here too...as if they don't already suck us dry enough in the real-world.
I'm starting to feel like there are some really rich dudes who cant pilot a tincan that are simultaiosly nurfing this game into crapdom so they don't suck at it because they suck, while thinking of how they can bring in stuff like MC coolant to save their 6 ppc stalkers when they get jumped because 1 35% flush will give them that third alpha they need before a shutdown to kill one guy in 3 shots.
This community is pretty old, and there is a lot of money floating around. This is not the way to get it. Nevermind the whole "coolant flush is unbalanced" and now again another about face.
I tend to think this is a moneyman decision, and a ****** one at that. 6 months I've seen great progress, 2 steps forward, 1 back. I've learned to live with the hero mech crapdom MC only. But fluid flush for MC?
Lets say fluid flush for MC costs 100 MC a shot. lets say you use it for the tourney weekend we just had.
400 games played 400 fluid flushes thats 40000 MC.
Thats 180 dollars?
Lets say that guy wins the tournament, because since he paid for a 35% coolant module he also had room for 3 more rather than the guy who doesnt have 180 bucks to blow on fuild flush.
yeah, this is a crap idea.
