Maybe 63, being a multiple of seven, because there were 7 Clans at this fight.
Though only 4 camos are represented.
9 sectors per Clan.
Bit late given the map state.
Might as well have called it the Battle for Terra.

Tukayyid? This means I'm going to have to jump into CW and give my wife a credit card for the weekend.

You know what would be sweet is if they released a Tukayyid Survivors pack for Clan and IS to commemorate the conclusion of the event. Something visual on mechs that reminds you of the brutality of the event long after it's over beyond a cockpit item. Much like a continuation of the resistance theme I guess. Ideas? Obviously not right after but down when time and resources allow.

Russ said in the Town Hall that 63 is the most they can do right now.

The API suggested a limit of about 63 (I don't remember the exact number) territories max. The rest after 15 just weren't used (labelled as 0 in the API).

This event had better have some really, REALLY juicy rewards at the end. If it doesn't, them I know which planet to stay the hell away from.

From the OP of this thread:

"Tukayyid will be the sole battleground for the duration of the event. No other planets will be up for contention."

Really? People like this make me sad.

If you don't like the rewards - and it's not just banners, but banners are kinda awesome in that they'll be just for this - that's fine. No matter what they give, there will be people who don't want it. For example, if they gave out 20 free mechbays, I wouldn't care much about those; I've got lots, and they're cheap anyways. I certainly wouldn't complain about it though, because that would make me an ungrateful, entitled ****.

I mean, it's obvious that an odd number of sectors is required to make a 50-50 draw impossible.
But as we currently have five CW maps, wouldn't a multiple of five make more sense? Like, maybe 65 Sectors?
OH WAIT....
PGI do you maybe plan to ninja-insert TWO MORE NEW CW maps?
(because 63 is a multiple of seven...)
great, now i won't sleep until friday probably, after my brain has come up with this :D


Per the last town hall, 63 is the most sectors they can actually make work with their systems currently.

I'm wondering if they are doing this as a stress test on the servers. Ya know, seeing how much load there would be with 63 sectors on a planet, and having an event where they hope to get enough people like the last CW event. That way they would know before upping the sectors on all the planets, then having a large number of 12 man groups swamping both sides of the coin (attackers & Defenders) for a particular planet

Sorry PGI !

GTA 5 just arrived after years of waiting. No time to play MWO for the next months.

See you...

What a shame that the most famous battle in the game is going to be played out on this fairly bland and dull take on community warfare.

Eh, might check it out. Maybe.

Yes, lets kick the clans in the nuts, see the game play is totally broken toward IS and numbers in general, nerf the clan mechs more and then offer the battle.

or is this your attempt to get the people back who stopped playing after seeing your intense bullcrap?
