Don't forget you will be refunded all the CB and MC you spent on paint and camo.

I painted the same mech multiple times over the last few weeks (about 10 millions CB). Will they refund all of that, or just the current paintjob?

[jay35]

They will refund MC because that's something they actually track and tie to specific purchases per user, etc. Doubt c-bills are going to be refunded since they're the grind mechanic anyway and thus not tied to real money except in the abstract (i.e., what your time is worth).

I'd wager they'll refund every transaction. The MC transactions are something they'll have a solid record of.

Actually it doesn't say CB in the post, only MC, so be prepared for only a MC refund. You can easily recoup the CB lost if they do not refund CB.

when you said the colours where unlocked by chassis, did you mean by mech (catapult for example) or by specific variant (catapult-c1)?

Not a big deal, but they should stop with these resets.
People could get frustrated when they do something and suddenly it's gone.
But since we're all mere "beta testers", just get used to it.

Thanks anyway.

Some new content
some undiscovered bugs
much whining
you know... the usual.

As it should be (apart from excessive whine, but at least then we now changes made affect the game)

WHY must they use yellow and green?! It should be easy to tell if they're open or closed, not my semi-colorblindness toggling them off and on for half a minute trying to figure out if they're open. Have green be open, then red, blue, orange, ANYTHING!!! else for closed. I

It would be nice if the devs started to take cash for new maps. Then we would get one each patch. That would make me start spending cash on this game.

they get cash from people spending to play the game. The more cash they get the more map makers they can hire. Then you'll get more maps. So get spending if that is what you want!

Its not just a coat of paint, its unlimited coats of paint

It's possible for the price of simply patterning and painting a mech to cost more than the mech itself. That's a bit absurd and out of scale.

It's only paint. you don't have to buy any of it, and there are C-bill colours available as well.

also, while it may "cost more than the mech itself", if you are using a limited number of colours then painting the NEXT mech may very well be FREE, since all colours are unlocked permanently across your account.

Red is used - when the mech is powered off. Just to clarify. So technically it's a three state light:
red - mech is off
yellow - mech is on but bays are closed
green - mech is on and bays are open.

And frankly red/yellow/green is a pretty common theme. Stop lights, for instance. I do, however, think they should consider adding color-blind controls.

Didn't know that, thanks!
