MAG now offering extra character slots for a buck a month

Pay a buck every month for another character slot. Lol that's a joke.

took them long enough..

and now that I'm thinking about it them Adding Move support before adding custom soundtracks pisses me off....

i bought this game way back when it came out, and I really couldn't get into it cause I don't have any friends with a PS3. I really wanna play it, so if anyone wants, add me (As cold as icee) and message me if you wanna play, cause it's honestly a good game, only if teamworks involved though

"We know we certainly won't, because we wouldn't dare gird our loins with the colors of Raven and Valor, because that would be shameful."
Come over to Raven and we'll show you how to really play the game ;)

I think 1€ a month for an extra character is pretty cheap considering the game is a one time purchase for unlimited play. Heck, I might even buy it just to support Zipper.

What a MAGnificent deal.

I think it would be much more considerate to the player, to allow character slot buyouts for $5 or whatever. $1 per slot per month, is kinda lame. The only slightly redeeming quality is that your character never disappears, and if you stop paying $1 a month, you can just pick it up again whenever ya want. Still though, I despise reoccurring billing of any sort. $2 a month X 2 slots = $24 a month. Which is like you're buying a new game every other year. Boo! Almost better off just using a different PSN ID.

BUT - I did get another character slot, just so I could play SVER with the JPAG group. (My first character is Raven) They gonna add me yet, or what?

@Aguiluz
Vetting without quitting your clan

I've vetted to Valor atm and although I'm having fun there (it's fun to see the other side of the acq and dom maps) I sure miss playing with my clanmates. I originally planned on vetting to SVER aswell before I joined them again, but now I can just buy another character slot and do both.

How thriving is the community for this game? I enjoyed my time in the beta, but don't have the schedule to commit to clans or regular meet-ups with buddies.

Are there any good casual clans?

@Troy Powers
Was that even necessary? Like seriously?

It's a good thing you guys mentioned that they're only active for $1.00...I was about to throwdown for slots B and C even though I've only spent 40 minutes on the beta and 0 minutes on the released version of MAG.

I figured, heck, they're soooooo cheap at $1.00 a piece.

@InfinitiProject
Necessary? No. Justified? Maybe. Funny? Hell yeah!

They make it a Buck so all you SVER d bags don't come over to another faction and find out that you have no skill and it was the Extra Damage in all your Guns. Just Kidding. But the SVER Tier 1 AK has Higher Damage then either Valor or Raven Tier 3 Assault Rifle. Also, the SVER LMG has the Most Damage... Again. Yeah, you thought it was the Valor one that was over powered.

Seriously though, The Buck makes it so not Everyone will be on all 3 sides at once. It is the Rivalry that makes this game tick anyways, right. Sure you can have 3 PSN profiles for free but not everyone does that anyways. The Slot if it was free would make it way too easy for triple rostering which would ruin what MAG is today.

Having already played and Veteraned through all 3 Factions, I ended up in a good clan at Valor and do not want to leave my Friends that are there. Yet I have a lot of Friends that I meet at Raven that I would like to play with from time to time. Most of the People I met on SVER either followed a group of us to there and then Valor, so I have no one that I need a SVER slot for right now.
I personally will be buying 1 Slot and Double Rostering on Valor and Raven.

@Squirtbot

The game contains no bullshit.

I'm in lesbians with SVER. I would never betray.

Why not create 2 extra PSN id's to play MAG like that (there's people playing MAG still?!?) instead of paying $2 per month for 2 characters.

Guess Sony/the dev didn't sell as much copies as they would have liked

MAG was a cool game, but was not implemented properly. I sold it about a month after release because it just got so boring playing the same 6 maps(acq+dom) and with it's screwed up balance issues.

Don't know if it has been fixed since, but back then SVER maps/weapons were overpowered. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or stupid.

The biggest problem though was it just didn't sell that well. There were times I wanted to play, but couldn't due to low player counts. What's the purpose of buying a game if you can't play it whenever you want?

SVER isn't over-powered or broken. We have teamwork. Only thing that sets us off from the rest is our damage on the guns a little higher but have lower stability. While im kinda happy they did this NOW.. (Shoulda did it at the beginning!) I wont be using this. I have 2 other accounts and dont need to pay $1 for an extra slot.

Meh I'll pass. I do wish they would price drop interdiction or give it for free on PS+ because I am tired of waiting for like an hour and a half to get into a game. I kind of feel like I lost money for buying it : (

play bfbc2 and sack this distinctly average game off

"...but haven't you ever wondered how the other half two thirds lives? A new option will give you the ability to do just that... "

Uhhmm, yeah. Talk about poor thought structure.

We have teamwork... Lie
I played all 3 factions.
SVER was no different in terms of Teamwork.

I'm gonna give a big 'ol pass on those extra slots. It's not really needed in my opinion. With Happy Hour and Directives giving double xp. You can max your character really fast without having to worry about staying with that pmc or vetting to a different fraction. I'm a 1st vet on lvl 59 on sver and about to vet again on Raven.

The beta is okay. Needs some work. It's harder for lower levels to actually do something then the higher ones. I finally unlocked the F90 on my Raven acct and the gun is fine, but the Goliath Elite is where it's at.

If they bundle these weapons with the new maps, then it's a def. buy. We need to see more CQC weapons and a bit of finesse added to Escalation. Right now, it's just a Sabotage type game with three fractions. But it could be more. Like sensor arrays and mortar batteries and making the game a 2v1 if Sver captures D, so Valor and Raven will work together to Take D back.

BULLSHIVISM!!!!
