All 50 points earned in 3 days, was it PGI's intention to make it this easy? jk, thanks for the free stuff PGI :D it's made the CW grind much more tolerable but in my opinion, it would have been better to have more points to earn for us CW diehards out there

IS Queue is really a huge dissadvantage to players dropping. Sure, it's often only 5-10 minutes (15 at worse) if you're in a 12 man, but that's 200-400+ minutes (3-7 more hours) simply waiting in queue. And if you're a solo pug? Forget about it in prime time.

This. It has allowed me to binge watch a few shows, however.

In one word: catastrophic.

you force people to play a mode which they do not like, versus people they do not want to challenge, in an amount of time they cannot afford. what was the point in give you money, again?

I know it would not be cool lore wise, but if they had added IS vs IS as well then I think everything would have went more smoothly. Up the amount of battles that can happen on the planet while they are at it and viola! Everyone would get into a match and people would be happy.

It wouldn't matter if you picked IS or Clan people would have dropped and gotten their points and not wait an hour to do a battle that takes less than half that time.

Is anyone having a problem getting points after 5? I've run at least 10 matches but I am not getting more points.

Another bug to add to the event?

Not possible if you are queuing on the IS side.

nerf clantech more, quirk istech more, make that clans lose 50 planets even winning 53% of games, call clans invaders and bad guys, more people will play for clans in an event like this, i'm sure

Made my 50 Points on Monday. And I am IS.
Played and waited 40 hours. I bet Clans need only 30 hours or less to finish.
Perhaps some Admin can put this into spoiler tags. I dont know how to do. Sorry for large image.

The wait time is horrible!
And the lobbies are always atleast with 20 groups there and with the planet filled up.
There is no way I will get the 40 points.
I have grinded all weekend and a little today and I am at 22.
This is almost imposssible for us people that have school or work.
I am only going to try to get 30...
I am just probably going to go for the loyalty points now

the 45 / 50 point tier rewards might have been considered a 'stretch goal' for an event lasting through Monday, but now I have nowhere to stretch to.

All of that information is in the House Marik section of the forums, where the FWLM information has been pinned to the top of the page for almost three years now.

And taking that kind of attitude with a new player will really encourage them to join in and play with you.

TeamSpeak is used for voice communications, most groups don't really use the in game voice chat because the quality isn't great.

You can usually find a factions TeamSpeak address in their forum section.

this event is BRILIANT.

i que as solo for clan. I face IS premades only. when I comment on fact that its not fair to put pub party vs 9/12man premade I am told that its my fault cause I am queing solo.

really is this how the the selfproclaimed "ELITIST" players treat newer/weaker players?

best playerbase ever.

Usually I find that at least one person is willing to coordinate a drop using the in game VoIP or chat, the problem is a group of pugs is always going to struggle against a team of 12 used to working together.

On one hand I agree with you, there should be a separation of groups and pugs. On the other hand it is community warfare, designed for unit vs unit warfare so if you go in without a unit you are asking for trouble.

What I would love to see is more support in the game interface for units to recruit players straight from the game, without needing third party software and websites.

I agree that the 'it's your fault for not joining a unit' isn't really helpful.

Well, Shlomo, when dropping solo in CW you WILL be facing 12mans .
What would be the point in CW otherwise ?
Or lemme ask you the other way round ...
Do you go to war all alone and hope to find someone to fight with you along your way ?

Sheesh, people, RTFM, that could save you solopuggers a lot of headache ...
