I think that only items are too expensive.

N-N-N-Necro'd!


I think that the prices for the mechs are fine. You usually get 130-170 HC per TDM match (one match = 10 minutes). There's also a "daily win" bonus that gives you 250 HC each day in every gamemode (so you can get up to 1000 HC). If you play for 1-2 hour each day you'll be able to buy the most expensive mech (12000 HC) in the game after about one and a half weeks. Anyway, most mechs only cost 4000-7500 HC. So you can buy 1-2 mechs each week.

It takes more time to fully outfit a mech than to buy one. I recommend to priorize purchases in this order:
New mech > New item > New internal > New weapon

You can go head to head with other players' fully equipped mechs even if you use amech with standard equipment. So I recommend to buy some mechs first. Once you find a mech that you really like you should buy some items and internals for it. Once have a lot of experience with a mech that you really like you can buy a new weapon. New weapons often change the whole playstyle of a mech (for example "Flak Scout => CQC" and "Heat Scout => mid range") so gather some information before you buy one.

My opinion:

• Mech prizes are fine: New mechs offer complete new playstyles.
  
• Item prizes are too high: Items don't impact the gameplay that much and therefore certain items are too expensive.
  
• Internal prices are ok: they're apropriate, although some 3 slot internals could be cheaper.
  
• Weapon prices are a bit too high: Although they largely change the playstyle of the mech i think that 6400 HC is too much. I dunno. Maybe the weapon prices should be 50% or 75% of the mech price.

WHOEVER NECROED THIS THREAD SHALL FACE MY SWAORD



(I'm not a fan of Necro's on game forums, on Casual forums it's fine, on game forums it becomes a gigantic mess)

My 2 cents. 2 of every mech, all mechs are lvl 6 fitted with complete internals and items. Took about 600 hours of playing. You might do it faster. Didn't have to pay a cent. Although I did spend $5 so I could get the tea spot
Just sayin'

Warnig to all you people who always get top 3, this does not apply to you, it is middle and lower ranked players mostly, if you think the rate is fine but you always score top 3, please try to grind purposfully at rank 5 and see how well it treats you, thats the best some of us can do with assult classes.

my numbers are estemates

maybe a daily bonus for playing your first game of the day (not necessarily winning it, sometimes I have random losing streaks where I can't seem to get a single win after playing for hours, others days I repeatedly become the mvp (again and again)
