I don't know what he's smoking, but I paid 1k for black and I can now put it on ALL rides, toggle on and off, all 3 places per Mech, for free. Ever heard the expression, a day late and a dollar short? That's this guy and his thread.

We want to use Pink Catapults!

I guess Paul Inouye will agree that this is a very important thing, which we need to be able to do!

[Grraarrgghh]

This thread is filled with terrible pubbies.

Also, if we have lime green, it's imperative to have hot pink.

[kiltymonroe]

Pink should be PGI's top priority.

[Rannos]

Definitely a notable lack of pink.

I noticed the camo colors appear to be rearranged, I liked the grouping before under themes like Woodland. I cannot find plain Brown anywhere, I know there is Camo Brown. My PC Gamer skin looks to have changed appearance also and the PC Gamer Gray now looks like a really Light Pink.

Since we are talking colors here, I will say about colored chat, I do not like the two changes made. First when hitting T or G, used to be a box formed around previous comments with a black background, it allowed you to read what others said, now it is always transparent. Second the blue text is now more blue than cyan making the team chat hard to read.

I would again recommend allowing users to set chat colors themselves so they can pick the colors they can read,
dark colors are too hard,
yellow for Commanders can be confused with the same yellow used for Kill messages,
while I don't have it, it would allow people with vision problems like thos who cannot tell Red and Green to set colors they can read.
Finally there should be an ability to choose the black background for the text box. I know another MMO that allows players to set the transparency of that to their liking.

You should have waited... because I feel that if enough people put their foot down and hold off on folding to these prices, they will listen and reevaluate the current pricing structure at LEAST for colors. The pattern costs are not as outrageous as the color costs. I don't understand how a pattern unlock is a mere 200 MC more expensive than a premium color unlock. That's ridiculous. If the price difference was 500-750 more credits, that would make a lot more sense...

Doesn't make sense to me that repainting a mech is more expensive than just buying a new hero mech in the majority of cases. That doesn't even have any kind of 'real world' logic, either. Think of it as a garage. Buying a new car should always be more expensive than getting a paint job.

I thought they looked different! It seems to me that all the colors of the game seemed to have brightened a bit. Except in match can't see much change in scenery.

[Ken Fury]

More Pink!

[Grraarrgghh]

Also, Hello Kitty skin.

^^This, there is nothing as expensive as raising a child, if you want to do it right.

Id love to see a buy them all option and/or packaged groups- at a discount.
I feel the current prices are high- for c bills its not so bad I suppose as you can always earn more for free.

I went as nuts as i could on the 50% deal as I want to support you guys but I also like my money.I think that its great that buying a colour unlocks it for all mechs

PS- you guys are heading in right direction IMO so keep it up

um, PC gamer black is now Navy blue?

and black is 1000MC?

**** paint then I wont bother

I've been switching back and forth in the MechLab between PC Gamer Black and the Premium Obsidian Black and cannot tell the difference. I do see a difference when swapping between the darkest blues (I guess that means I'm not blue-black colorblind). /shrug.

However, Differently named colors should actually be different colors. I don't think there needs to be a huge difference, but they shouldn't be exactly the same.

I will say that I am thoroughly impressed with the new brighter PC Gamer Red and PC Gamer Grey (which is closer to a white). It better matches PC Gamer's actual colors of Bright Red, Black, and White.

EDIT: on closer inspection (full-screened on my 40"TV), the PC Gamer Black is *slightly* lighter than Obsidian Black, but it's lighter on the grey scale, not blue. Obsidian Black is a slightly darker and shinier, where PC Gamer Black looks like it has picked up a little bit of dust.

Of course, it MIGHT earn them more money if they have lower prices, enticing more people to spend a few dollars here and there, but I guess that is what they will have sales for. Guess thats what they have economy dudes figuring out as they go along.

That's exactly it. At lower prices more people would probably spend the money that ONE person would have spent on one color. So, one person buys say 2 colors at 1k each, making that a 2k MC cost... At lower costs, 3 people may be enticed to spend 1k on colors (say if each color was 250 standard and 500 premium), but that's already netted you 3k MC costs from MORE PLAYERS.

Often times getting less per item from a larger number of people is much more beneficial and profitable than getting more for a purchase here and there from few people.

The key is to entice people to spend their credits and buy more credits to keep the game rolling.

The 'Meh it's free' argument basically just says you will not bother spending MCs on anything, really, and would be content to plod along using only CBills etc... The players who have that attitude would probably be more inclined and more likely to spend 2 - 3 bucks now and then, if costs were lower.

Sure, you'll have a few players who are willing to throw $10 to $30 bucks at the game every month, and that's fine... But at the end of the day, which player type is most likely?

I think you guys should come up with other items you can sell on the cheap - for example temporary Cbill boosts, XP boosts, that sort of thing. I hate to bring it up, but look at how League of Legends has structured their shops. And they seem to be doing amazingly well for themselves.

[Ken Fury]

Also MORE PINK!

[Tschekal]

New colors are fine.

Please list "Unlocked" Color Filter at first in "Camo Spec"->"Color Mode"->"Color Filters". It is really annoying to have to scroll to the bottom everytime if you want to see your purchased colors. Thank you.

[Merv DeGriff]

Loving the permanent color unlocks for the whole account!

Oh and you need hot pink.... the pink panther is cannon and Paul I. would like it!

I guess this topic is about the painting of the Mechs, but I want to leave my comment about the new friendly-blue color used in game. It is just not very visible in comparison to the old light blue. When I open up the map it takes me at least a second to recognize the dark blue arrows representing my allies against the only slightly lighter blue contures of the map. I would really appreciate an option to bring back the lighter marking of pre-patch version.

[Chavette]

Need pink ASAP!
