I know it might seem a little silly to say this of such great saving... but honestly I've only bought 1 thing in the entire sale and that was a member sale item, the rest has been useless for the most part, either guns you'd never use or cosmetic stuff. And to make it worse the only things that seem worth it are member items, the normal sale seems to only ever have had cosmetic items making it seem like this is just a obvious plan to try and make people get a membership.

I know they are a business so want to try and get more members and make the most money they can off us before we stop playing, but did they have to make it so obvious over the christmas period that we are just cash cows? couldn't they have a few items that are worthwhile in the sale?

A little underwhelming. The only thing I purchased was the exhaust stacks for my Sundy = 1 SC.

The only reason I got those was I saw a "Manly Man" vid by Jaybonaut.

I bought all the 1 price items that i didnt have - I am fairly un-enthused about them all just because they arent items Ill use.


In truth none of the other sales come close to last year when I bought 3x cash then waited for half off sales.
Thats probably why i dont buy anything anymore.

I blame it on the Grinch (Smed) who stole our SC promo policy. :lol:

I would have prefered the 3x cash or even 2x cash, iv got over 4k SC now and nothing to spend it on cos the deals are awful. At this point I'd prefer them to stop this *deal* and go back to normal daily deals so theres a chance of something I want for half price instead of stuff I'll never ever use for a very low price

They sold the Dreadnought helmet for 1SC.
1SC.

1SC.

Unless you also purchased a 99SC item, that 1SC cost item is really a 100SC cost item because nothing else (outside of this Christmas sale) costs 99SC.

At least that is the way I see it.

Not if you bought multiple 1sc items.

I bought all kinds of things. Thought the sales were pretty good. Allot of popular items were for sale, not just junk.

The PDW was the best item on there so far.

Wow another great sale today... a decal and a flash shotgun... I guess this is the best sale theres been so far, the shotgun on a flash is ever so mildly useful

I've hardly bought anything. I got the snow camo and there were a couple of vehicle weapons.

I can't get my head round riding the flash and shooting so I've not bothered with either of today's offers.

I'm hoping that they offer some nice sniper rifles before the sale finishes :D

I hope they at least give out another 1sc weapon instead of all these crappy looking camo's. :(

They need to start selling real hats soon and possibly shoes. Oh and maybe a couple handbag models for the lady chars to carry around. :lol:

It's basically just stuff that nobody ever buys. But - it's not a bad thing to have a few extra things to play with.

Did you think they were going to give away their most profitable items?

I hope you guys have noticed the 50% off campaign on different categories eg. MBT guns, carbines etc. you can find it on the "christmas sale" poster in the depot/shop

I finally found it but they didn't make it very obvious.. until somebody in my outfit mentioned it I had no idea they were doing anything but the 99 an 1 SC sales

Please SOE, no Alpha Squad or Anniversary items (in the Members Sale).

Not really, because plenty of items are xx50 or xx25.

Well I have to say that today's ( 30. December. 2013 ) deal didn't disappoint me. The MAX Ogre armour for 99SC is quite the deal.

Can't really argue with stuff that costs only 1 SC.
