I dont see anything yet that i would want to burn my MC on.

I dont need any mechbays, but if i did that is all i would bother burning MC on.

Hero mechs - none of them interest me in the least.
Cockpit items - the cost are utterly ridiculous for items that are pure fluff.
Paint schemes/patterns - I have painted my mechs jet black all over and i am happy with it. No desire to make my mech look like a fairy.

So far, there is just nothing i feel worth my MC.

Please add some more things for a reasonable price.

Then whats the problem? You don't have to spend your mc right now.
I'm not, I'm waiting for more skins and what not. Possibly re-new my premium time later.

I like the Christmas items, but some of them are too expensive I agree with that. And I don't like how skins you buy with MC (phracken for example,) are not kept, if you change it you have to buy it again, if it were CBills I wouldn't have a problem but with with MC, that's not right.

Pretty much feel the same.

What sucks is that a lot of stuff I was really looking forward to spending/wasting my MC on - paint jobs, cockpit items, etc. - are now in the game. But the prices are so ludicrous for the cockpit stuff and the embarrassingly awful scheme they've chosen for the way camo is applied mean I just don't feel like I'd be getting any kind of worthwhile value for money if I went ahead and got any of it. So right now I'm just sticking with the free promotional bobbleheads and free PC Gamer skin/colours.

To be clear, if the last zero was dropped off the price of the cockpit accessories (especially the season stuff) and there was some.. ANY sense of permenance to the paint system (you bought colours to keep or at the very least got the keep the individual "skins" you create for free reapplication to your mech later) I would probably have more or less bought everything on offer by now, blown all my founders MC and already have bought more. As it is, I've a couple of mechbays and am still waiting on something more worth spending on.

Come on PGI. I have money to spend on your game. Give me a reason to spend it.

Add the flashing Christmas lights for a challenge. Total distraction. As if there aren't enough things flashing in my cockpit.

I agree nothing is worth it yet

[Heeden]

I've spent about £15 on MC so far. Bought a couple of mech-bays, the Santlas and the rest went on premium time. Really (apart from the mech-bays) none of it felt necessary but I wanted to give PGI some money.

the christmas lights are fun to annoy your team mates with when they die and sit in your cockpit

I have to agree with this 100%. I would drop my MC on the XMAS junk if it was a fraction of its price. I would also drop MC on patterns and colours. IF - IF they were permanent purchases. They are not, so i have no desire to have my MC spring a permanent leak.

Sadly, going by the track record of PGI since the start of closed beta, until today... this wont be changed.

if you buy something for MC it should be yours, hell for the price they are charging for the phracken you should be able to put it on any of your mechs just like the pc gamer one.

It really shouldn't feel necessary to buy any of it.

[Morrey]

Other than Mech Bays, I haven't bought anything but if they made a Hero Cicada or other Mech I pilot, I would.

[Lagfest]

I agree with the OP

Hero Mechs are meh, and paint is way overpriced.


guess i'll save it for clan mechs

[MouseNo4]

If they only slash a zero off the XMAS stuff, i would probably buy a whole bunch of it.
