So I was just thinkign on how I was iffy on people telling me that, whenever I found the grind too intensive, they would tell me to just spend money and buy the mechs.  I've ignored them up until I actually thought about what would make me spend money on Hawken now that I have some extra cash... and I realized.

 

If I spent any money I would spend it on cosmetics.

 

I don't like spending money on things I can eventually earn in game,  It's a personal thing that if I can work for it I can eventually gain it, and if I pay realmoneydollars I want to spend it on something that would otherwise be impossible to get.  Whether a pretty thruster, or that paint job that I think would make my reaper look neat.  Then I came to realize, if there was less grind, then I would have spent that money already because I wouldn't have to worry about the possibility of getting bored of the lack of variaty with me only leveling up two mechs with only two weapons as I save up the rather large amount of HC required to buy the Scout, which is my next goal, with about 8K HC saved up already... heck, I don't even know if I'll like it, but I'm still saving up for it.

 

Nothing that can really apply to everyone else, just something I came to realize about myself and my personal spending habits.

We were just talking about this tonight on the TS.

 

Competitive F2Ps live and die by their cosmetic offerings. There need to be more, there need to be more creative ones and I need a bloody C-Class twerk taunt already.

And a trollface holo emote asap. This is needed for obvious reasons. It's not copyrighted is it ?

It would go on every single mech of mine.

It's all about the bling and prestige.

So I just spent about ten dollars for a skin and new repair Drone... I wonder why Light Blue is the only color that actually seems to cover the entire mech... it's almost like they did one full paint and were lazy on the rest.

Pretty sure that's actually the lazy job and an error to boot because yeah - it is the only one like that. if you notice, the others have dings and scratches in the paint, making it more "realistic" and gritty. The full-blue is like selecting the entire skin and filling it with a colour.

 

Not saying I don't use it, I mean its the core of my Tron Brawler, but there you have it.

The light blue paint (and I think one other) are bugged - no paint is supposed to cover a mech 100%, but those do for some reason.

Ahh, that's a bit sad because I actually prefer full coverage over just small bits and pieces.
