Erm.. So while looking at the new Hon chassis in my Garage I noticed this:

 

Spoiler

 

Both that the new Chassis looks good on a Bruiser, and that the Hon chassis is 688MC, whereas every other chassis is significantly cheaper. Is this intentional? Is it a bug? If it is intentional, why is it 400MC more expensive than every other chassis?

It costs so much because they used real humans to make that f*cker so ugly.

It's just clever marketing business trick stuff, anyone who wants that chassis will pay the extra because they wanted it for so long.

Because the upper is the part that stands out most. So it may be reasonable that is costs more.

Plus, the devs are definitely hungry for income, and they realize that people will financially support them.

Personally, it makes me not want to purchase MC.  If this is how the pricing is going to go, I have a bad feeling they might increase all the prices (HC and MC) for all items, and I dislike that thought greatly.  Just because a piece 'stands' out more, doesn't mean it should be nearly the cost of the special cosmetic chassis with special textures on them.  However, I'm sure they realize how expensive a lot of the stuff on the market already is...  The real question is what they do with it.

 

EDIT:  I really want that chassis, but I honestly dislike the price.  It's not a good bargain, and I'd hate to not support my favorite game, but this just kills it for me.

It is just a touch cheaper than the other special chasis.  Look at the sweet monster ss or skull raider, they cost even more.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

I wanted the (also pricey as hell) Rainbow Snakeskin, so i bought it. thank goodness it is universal.

I wanted the Hon U/C, so i bought it. do i think i got my money's worth? No. but i got it anyway. so there. :d

I know exactly where the money's going, and why they're gouging this. i feel it'll do a sight more good now, than it would have 6 months ago; i also bumped $10 on my t-shirt order for exactly the same reason.

 

so i guess that's it for quite a while, sadly.

Eyes_Only did not have anything to do with the chassis' creation. He only managed to finagle the backend into letting him buy it before it was publicly available.

It costs more because it's new, basic business principles.  As long as it gets reduced back down later then i'm cool with that.  These guys need to earn a living.

like how nintendo released the new nintendo 3ds xl in north america before the non XL DS, that way, they can earn 30 bucks more then they would if they sold the little ones first because the people who want it now will have to buy the larger and more expensive one


  

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

nope, had nothing to do with its creation. whoever DID create it though, was the same person that made kerby. I love hon, and wholeheartedly believe that its the best chassis there is currently due to the amount of effort that appears to be put into its creation, from a modeling point of view.


It was the last dance for birth. The portrait to the path to our ascension. Slowly slipped away; the day we came together.

Well I like it as well but I am afraid after adding up all the parts I probably won't be able to afford it. I might but I doubt it. I'm on disablity and live month to month. I'd like it but.........well.......

I tend to agree, I think they are missing the mark on the pricing here.  This was going to be an instant purchase for me when I heard about it but when the parts cost that much more than all the others that really makes you think twice, and takes you out of that impulse purchase mindset which is what all these cosmetic parts should be.

There is nothing particularly special about this set apart from it being a new release. If the parts were either cheaper (normally priced) or at least explicitly stated to be priced higher because they are a new release (with a note of when the parts downgrade to normal price), then I would be happy. However, the moves made have not looked good. I will ignore them until they are priced appropriately.

Hon set is nowhere near as ugly as the Civ set.

 

But that pricing is really stupid, it should be the same as the other standard parts. I actually think that Nief (special A class cosmetics set) and Hon should get their own dedicated mechs, instead of just being cosmetics, but keep Civ as cosmetics and add Mobi (very old A class set) as cosmetics too.

I agree with ya System64. They should be just priced same as the other sets. I'd love to have all the old sets and unreleased stuff but damn. I literally have to take food off my table to buy em. I try to support game and have to the toon of hundreds$. So how about a break. Lets keep the price on the next down please?

As soon as you take the food off the table and put it back into the fridge go get that Hon chassis.

Some people I swear, send them to school, buy them books and they (d)ate the teacher!! :thumbsup:

 

And I really do have to not buy some food to get stuff. I live off Social Security Disability. But it's OK, I'm not dead and I have the whole HON set for real just as described. :) Ask people who have played against me. Well or with me. :yes:
