What can I say, PGI always surprises me, in some way.

Had me excited for a second there, thinking I might get a dragon for my next mech...


Fast, high armor, bad weapons. it's a slightly heavier medium mech.

But you'd have to be a total tool to buy a non-hero Dragon with MC.

not quite, some people say the dragon is a "centurion on steroids", and that fits somehow...it´s not a bad mech, had alot of great matches with it...then the cataphract appeared :angry:

CDA-GarthE/KyleL would be fantastic... I'll inform him.

If the Dragons had ECM, maybe. $20 for a very very slightly swapped 1C is a bit crazy, and anthing above $0 for a stock variant is madness.

Exactly? Who would waste real money on a stock Dragon? A 1C is only 4,745,200.

Greetings MechWarriors!

Fang and Flame, our Dragon Hero Mechs, have been very popular. So popular, we feel really bad for the old standbys; those Mechs that never gave you up, never let you down, never turned around and deserted you.

As a salute to these vaunted tricky rollers of unaware enemies, we are offering 20% off the MC PRICE of all non-Hero Dragons!

This sale will go from 10am today (25th of January) to 10am Monday, the 28th of January!

So if you've been waiting to jump on that new Dragon, now's the time!

Cheers,
The MechWarrior Online Team

To bad there isn't much to buy with mc other than mech bays for people who don't waste it on mechs. Maybe one day we will have permanent paint and a reason to spend mc.

I'm actually surprised some people even bought a fang.

...Damnit Garth, it's only been a week since I bought two!

(no I misread and thought he meant they reduced prices on the Fang & Flame, but I do in fact own two Dragons made of C-Bills)

No kidding me too.........."CURSES, DAMN YOU GARTH!!!!!!!!!!!" (Shakes Fists in Air)

Too bad that some people have a job&family (aka 'life) and skip the money grind with the money they have earned with the mentioned job to be able to spend more time with the mentioned family and still be able to enjoy MWO. :angry:

Yea Im a soldier with a wife/newborn and still think this 'sale' is exploring new levels of lame.

If its anything the MWO community has been dying for, its the chance to pay real money for one of the less popular mechs.

I think PGI got this one horribly wrong, who pays MC for a basic mech???? if you reduced the Cbills price by 20% more people would have given the dragon a try and you know what... they probably would have bought a mech bay or two to accommodate the extra mechs, and you would have earned more money....

Not to disappoint anyone here, btw I took this as a chance to buy the 3 non-hero Dragons.

The trial Dragon has been my very first mech here. Then, with open beta I turned my eyes elsewhere and never had a Dragon again.

I'm happy now :angry:
