What we need is a double CBill weekend or a "let you keep your damn paints" weekend.

Imo
Well i dont bother about xp realy... since you gain xp much much faster as cbills.

But i wont complain.. it is for free.. who wants faster cbills.. can add premium time or buy an hero mech.

Hmm. I like the keep your paint weekend. They could call it permapaint weekend! But not, it's worth almost literally nickel-and-diming the player base to ****** the things. Yay capitalism!

Edit: I have no idea what that bleeped word is supposed to be...

I have plenty of mechs to finish those pesky 21.5k module slots on so I'll take it thanks. Even took the Monday off as euro times it ends about 6pm for me. :D

Guess I'll be fully mastering a bunch of mechs.
The big question is if I'll have enough cbills at the end to buy the next set.

Double XP is popular and players expect XP bonusses, not C-Bills.
Also popular be bonusses for Cash Shop money transactions (MC buying).
Now you can combine this and make it more easy for People to want play Hero-Mechs with C-Bill bonusses giving them i.e. a 20% Bonus on MC transactions.

On the other side its a pretty bad idea to offer a deathtrap Hero Mech to players that may be new to the game bcs it will for sure **** them off very stark - but thats the week after...

Gee, some people will complain about just about anything.

"How dare they waste time coding a double exp weekend instead of working on X!!!"

On some level it's quite intelligent, actually.
Generally after I finish one group of mechs through Elite I have just enough cbills to start on the next set.

If I was gaining XP faster, I'd not have enough cbills to buy new mechs, and I'd have the choice to purchase a mech for MC, or grind a mech I was done with for more cbills.

I'll take all bonuses they give, except if it means I have to spend money first to enjoy them. Like MC purchase bonus, thanks but no thanks.

With a bit of luck, it should put the extra module slot on a bunch of my mechs and maybe I'll even level some new ones.

I like it!

I don't understand the reasoning for disliking something that's a bonus. No matter what they give as a bonus, it's just that, a bonus. Even an MC bonus that one may not use is great for those who do. The MC purchasers will spend more money which is great for the game.

Personally, I prefer a XP boost over a CB boost. I don't collect mechs, so... what am I going to do with dozens of millions CBills? Buy XL engines I don't need as I swap them around? Paints I don't care much about, since the ones I want cost MC? But we all need GXP, specially the players that don't have MCs to convert XP... and to level up the more... erm, challenging chassis.

Hope this is enough of a nudge to make the Raven 3L spammers level another mech.
