    Seems like  pretty cool idea. Before all the whiners about charging come in for this. It's only $.99 a month. I'm sure you can afford $2 a month to keep 2 extra slots. I'll probably try it out once and see if I like it.

    Would definitely prefer having a permanent slot, maybe $5 per slot?
    and the ability to revive old characters which we had to delete.

    Doubt I'll really be using this feature if it's not permanent though. Still, good to see you offering it up :)

    This has killed PMC Loyalty! Isn't MAG about being loyal to your PMC? That's what you've said in MAG Trailers.

    Are you f***ing serious?! You are going to charge a monthly fee for a feature which should have been in the game from the very beginning? This isn't some crappy F2P game! We already paid for this game! You are leaving features out to sell them later as DLC. That's bull***t! Especially on a monthly basis! I hope people will recognize what perfidious games publishers are playing with their customers these days and stop buying things as DLC which should already be in the game from the beginning.

    Re: Expand Your Army on August 31

    Are you seriously making us pay a dollar for a character slot? If you're gonna do that you should just give us the character slots for free.

     

    And I think the idea of implementing something that should have been in the game in the first place and making us pay money for it is a stupid idea. People paid 60$ for the game, 10$ for the Interdiction mode, probably another 10$ for Escalation, a headset if they didn't already have one for 20$-50$ and now we have to pay more money for something that should have already existed for free? Really?

     

    I'm not a cheapskate who doesn't want to pay 1 or 2 bucks a month, but the fact that I have to pay those bucks is a pain. Especially if I'm also paying for the DLC.

     

    If you're gonna make us pay for this, at least make it a one time thing of 5$ (or less!) but paying 2$ a month for a while will add up to the same cost as one DLC, or 2 DLC's, or however many more DLC's we will have to pay for.

     

    Food for thought.

    Re: Expand Your Army on August 31

    You guys are a joke at zipper. To the fools who pay monthly to have another spot, smh there is no hope for you. I could see 99 cent flat rate for your slot but monthly!?!?! What a joke!

    Re: Expand Your Army on August 31

    I've always defended most of zipper's decisions but $.99? seriously? what is the **bleep**ing point? just give us the extra slots! why make us pay a tiny amount. The cost isn't the problem it's the principal of the thing that your trying to make us pay instead we could just make alt accounts for free.

     

    Seriously what were you thinking? It's starting to look more like money grabbing now. I certainly can't be bothered to pay it

    Re: Expand Your Army on August 31

    The extra slot doesn't give us anything we don't already have.  We can already try out other PMCs with our second account without destroying our primary account.  The extra slot might make it a bit more convenient I guess.  Unless we could transfer experience or CP from one slot to the other or some such I just don't see a huge payoff.

     

    To the dudes that complain that this new feature or that addition should have been in the game originally:  You got what you paid for.  You looked at the box and saw the features that were advertised and said I want this product and I will pay that price for it.  No one promised that you would get new features after that or even new maps.  No one said you will get a 'Clan Deploy' feature or new weapons or anything else beyond what was originally offered.  Zipper can try to offer new things at a micro price if they like.  If noone buys then they can try to repackage the feature at another future point or eventually offer it to all for free.  That is well within thier rights.  Noone is getting ripped off by this.  Take it or leave it.  I don't see a benifit so I will leave it.
