I'd be willing to bet the loudest P2W complaints ever will come if they make a Stalker hero mech (or any mech with plethora of LRM racks, Lord have mercy if they add one ECM capable). ...Although, if they ever add a hero omni-mech, I bet those topics get entertaining.

...I spent a long time contemplating that thought lol

I will laugh in the face of anyone that spends over 30 dollars on a hero mech. Who am I kidding, I laugh at those who spent the money they have on the current ones. I laugh in the mirror about the 30 bucks I spent on founders. HAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAA..... *sniff*

The only person I can think of, right off the bat, who piloted a Stalker, was Clinton Carmody...and he's not exactly 'hero' material, lol. I think there were a couple pilots from the Wolf's Dragoons that had them as well, but I can't remember their names...or even if my memory is failing me there.

I pay, I win, I keep PGI company running. You don't pay, you lose cos you don't contribute one cent to the running of PGI or its revenue. Fair world.

[Manicus]

You pay to win, nobody else plays except other pay-to-win-ers, and since that isn't enough to support the game, all the money paid to win crashes and burns with the company and th game.

That's why League of Legends is doing so horribly selling only real-money-exclusive cosmetics like skins, huh?

You realize that the ones that do not pay do not HELP to keep the company? So loosing 10 non payers is irrelevant for the company when comapred to loosign 1 payer?

[Biruke]

p2w? Single players don't win. TEAMS win. If you have good mechwarriors on your team and good coordination - you win all together, including the ones who sacrificed their mechs for the TEAM to win.

hero mech is a p2w piece only in 1vs1 fights. Tournaments, maybe. But a regular Atlas with good equipment and heat management will easily tear an IM apart. Especially if the Atlas is driven by pro, and the IM is driven by a regular casual player.

Forget P2W at all. It doesn't work where you depend on skill and teamwork.

Because the only way to get people to pay is to sell op mechs.

Also, you're saying yu'd rather drive away potential customers then to give them a chance to buy something.

God you should totally open up your own business. Youd make a killing.

^this

LoL players don't go "aw crap he has the OP Teemo skin i quit!".

[Biruke]

Added: I can afford paying a hundred bucks for a super-mega-omi-mech, worth 2-3 mechs as a fighter. But will it help me if my team is ripped apart in the first two minutes? No way. And a cheap Commando driver (bought for cbills) will perfectly win working in a team. It's all about TEAMWORK, stop whining.

So when are they gonna start selling these OP mechs?

i'd buy a couple of them.

[Parnage Winters]

The Stalker 3Fk uses Guardian ECM as I recall. Rather or not it'll be a variant I don't know. What I do know is that that the Stalker already has four missile hardpoints and I think six energy, it'll be a beastly mech.

Anyway, please show me all of these OP p2w hero mechs they have planned that I've missed.

[SpartanFiredog317]

Clarification: I am merely predicting that if they come out with a hero version of the Stalker, especially if it is the ECM version the P2W posts will go through the roof. I am more than fine with the hero mechs so far.... except I wish there was a trade back, my llya has outshined the YLW by leaps and bounds... and I bet in the future the Ilya will be overshadowed as well. ...AND I think it wouldn't be too awful to make the bonus 50% if they are charging as much as they are... 30% gets ate up by an expensive build


Secondarily, has there been any mention of if/how Clan Mechs will be released?

Just think a bit. The clans are the target that everyone will be wanting to achieve, the equivalent to world of tanks Tier X tanks. TO achieve that you will need hundreds of hours grinding Cbills, OR buy a hero mech and premium time to cut it by half.

Just check what is the Cbill price of a Daishi canonwise.. 30 MILLION Cbills.

You know what would be absolutely funny and get all the P2W chicken littles panties in a twist, a Stalker hero-mech... with ballistic slots *gasp*.

Don't kid, man, you know how OP the A/C 10 is.

I'm really not sure how they would make a pay to win mech in this game. Everything is limited by tonnage and crits, so without cheating, giving special modules, or making a Commando sized 100 ton mech, I don't see it happening.

EXACTLY! I made over 10 million C-Bills today with premium + hero. Won't be able to do it without hero mech.

I will ABSOLUTELY buy a Stalker with 10 ballistic hardpoints! LOL!!!!! 10 AC 10s!!!!! WOW!!!!

[Viper69]

I dont understand why people care if others buy hero mechs. I dont buy them because I dont need them but I might have bought one had I no founders mechs. I dont think people use hero mechs for wins, they use them for money.

[Taryys]

This I will buy!!
Me likey long time!!
