Seeing this sale, which is a great start, I think the thing that would get me to purchase the most MC is if you halve the price MC costs to purchase, so the MC purchased returns a better investment on everything you buy with it. Otherwise, we're always at the mercy of rare, limited, or restricted sales like this as to what we can buy for a reasonable price (though that is probably how you want things at the moment).

This sale is a step in the right direction, since it is 50% off, which is finally a significant amount, even though it's just off four trial mechs so it might not generate as many sales.

Also wish you would mirror the discount in the c-bill price as well, but I understand why you don't. I would pick up a couple of these via c-bills right now if they were on sale (3 of the 4 are not appealing enough to me at their full c-bill price). I'm not sure I'd use MC to buy these unless I was low on c-bills.

This sale probably won't be an accurate measurement of how many more purchases of a given mech variant you could expect if you cut MC prices 50% across the board, because it's constrained to these four variants that many folks already have, and there are plenty of folks not interested in these that would gladly buy multiple other variants were they 50% off, particularly hero mechs that can't be bought via c-bills.

Just the same, good luck with the sale! And thank you.

p.s., I am buying some MC just to say thank you for simply being willing to offer a 50% off sale and test the waters.

Great sale! Now just bring back the holiday special where if you buy MC you get an additional 20% bonus of MC. Bring that back and I will buy an additional 25,000 MC and enjoy the extra 20% bonus! If you want to be really awesome you can increase the bonus to 50%!

Well, I just bought a plane, and a mini LRM boat

[Kylere]

This was clearly because of the memewarriors drop.

[Riddler9884]

Bought my 3D

[AMok Duke]

Brought the spider and 4sp =]

[Elizander]

Can't really go wrong with a 4SP purchase especially when you can buy it with the entry-level MC package.

Why is the CTF more expensive than the Awesome during this sale?

[Butane9000]

This is a much better sale then the 20% off stock Dragons. A good step, but stock variants still aren't worth the MC till 60-75% off. Though getting a Spider and Hunchback for $7 is no joke.

[graze]

first post to the forums...just wanted to say this was a great idea. i felt prices were a bit steep, would be cool if something like this was in place on a somewhat regular basis.

Probably because the cataphract 3D is more expensive then the Awesome in C bills as well? And if you're wondering why, its because it comes stock with some pretty pricey stuff, mainly the XL engine.

[Grey Ghost]

Finally gave me a reason to spend some of my Founders MC, thanks.

[Curn Davos]

Too bad I already own the CTF and bought the 4SP about 3 days ago (D'oh!) ...well, sometimes you lose and sometimes the other side wins .
Since I'm in collecting mode again, I bought the spider and are contemplating the awesome too. I'm such a sucker for sales.

Shame I bought the hunch a couple of days ago for cbills, I may well have bought it for MC given that (reasonable) price. The 3D seems interesting and I could use another 280XL but not that badly as 2000MC is still a fair chunk of change.

[Lord Fatal1s]

Just click on an empty mech bay in the mech lab and select "Create new mech" then select the mech you want and click the "BUY MC" button. If you don't have an empty mech bay, you'll need to buy one first (or get rid of one of your existing mechs).

Merci beaucoup Steve !

[Phlyk]

Just purchased the 3D after swearing I would never spend MC on standard mechs.

Well played PGI, well played.

[Scorpid]

Very good initiative, hope this does well.

[T3N5H1]

A nice option would be that you can equip every mech with the option of 30% extra C-Bill and XP like a hero mech.
