Good thing that only 1 victory in a specific mode is needed to gain the related prize. That goes well with the voting system (playing yesterday evening I got several games on each mode (yes, even conquest), so no problem about that).

That's globally a very nice event, thanks!


EDIT: didn't see the 2 and 3 victories needed for assault and skirmish... but that's still a good threshold.

Good event. I was hoping to see one for the long weekend and you delivered. Those complaining about the game mode rewards are crazy. All prize tiers are very accessible even with modest playtime.

Nice event, thank you PGI. Though I'm afraid, it will - as always - have a negative impact on player behaviour.

My idea: Create events that actually (and only!) promote teamplay, as in, you know, a team-based shooter, contrary to all the personal challenges which promote individual prowess and try-hard behaviour. That would maybe also a good idea for the coming steam launch.

This is great in theory, however, making rewards be based on team play takes the control of destiny out of the player's hands.

You can beg.

You can scream.

Some players simply will always do their own thing and potentially kill teamplay.

Even in group queue, unless you have 6+ group, it is difficult to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Again... The Voting issue is still a problem and everyday more and more people are disgusted with the voting system...and Again PGI calms our concerns...not with, "we are looking into the problem"...or "we will revert to the old system until we get the bugs worked out." or no, "We See your concerns, we hear you."...no...the replay with Sales and events.......sighs.... Thank you PGI for sweeping things under the rug..yet AGAIN!!!!

I dont get why people have problems with voting ...
If you dont like it just ignore it - wheres the problem??

Wooohh! Thanks for the event PGI! You've freed me from my Fallout 4 addiction...

20 000 xp = 500mc is true????

[PeeWrinkle]

Thanks for the event PGI, it will be awesome!. Then again I think they all are awesome!

I have never understood why some people complain about events that give you free stuff for playing the game pretty much as you normally would? Thankfully this event, so far, seems to have much more excited and positives posts that previous ones, but there are still a decent amount of complainers mixed in, which I find sad. Actually reading some of these post is like reading "Wahhh, I want this and not that! Boohoo that achievement is too hard, life is so unfair! Wahhh I'm a cry baby and only happy if I am complaining about getting free stuff!" Those are paraphrased and not actual quotes.

So to the Negative Nancy's out there I say "Suck It"!

I am going to have a great time in this event, get me some free stuff, maybe even miss out on some of the items, but I am going to be tickled pink every time Redeem shows up after a match!

Oh and I will probably do this over voice chat to anyone whining in game:

Yay, Happy Holidays Mech Warriors!

[VortexD]

This event awesome....Love the free colors!!!!! Radar derp for Kills also great....no complaints here!! Thanks for the free stuff!

[Desintegrator]

Great goals and great rewards !

Thank you PGI !!

I think I will spend some time this weekend on MWO.

[Boaz Roshak]

Felling dumb and more then a bit cheated for ever buying colors if you are going to later give them away. You should just be giving out your special colors that come with skins or gotten with cbills not the stand alones like titanium white that you had to use MC for. other then that I enjoy the move towards challenges where it is a running total given what appeared to be such a disconnect in some of the past challenges as to what constituted a match that should have counted It is a welcome approach

Gamemode voting is a non-issue here. Still people take the chance to whine about it.

It seems every PGI post turns into this of late.

It´s on! Expect to see me in my Hunchbacks!

It is very unpopular for those who don't want to skirmish on a cold map EVERY match. The additional votes is a nice addition, but it wouldn't be necessary if the change had not been implemented originally. Was there any explanation for why it was introduced? I don't recall people complaining about the random modes other than during challenges/events. But we could uncheck boxes to accomplish those, so I'm still unsure of why we have this now.

[YakkSlapper]

lol, those rewards are mostly not worth it.

preimum time that most times expire before you use it cause its auto activate, give us a CHOICE of which colour we get, not the ugly ones, give us a choice of pattern unlocks, mechbays are always great for events, but these rewards? meh you can get those mods free all day long for c-bills, give gxp in amounts to unlock the mods at full lvls instead ( "X" gxp to unlock a mod and fully lvl it)

and this??

OFC it does, its a BAD move on the companies part and more ppl HATE then love it and it needs to be reverted, and its will not die as an issue untill its removed, its that unpopuler

Thanks PGI, I appreciate the Turkey Day event.

If you think that, then you must not even play this game.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Thanks so for the free stuff!

Oh, yeah, I can't read thread titles because I failed first grade, so insert my comments on map voting here.

[The Flying Gecko]

None of my 'quick play' games are counting toward the event.

[Bottlestothrottles1]

This will be a great time to get my Adders mastered and maybe even one or two others done as well. Sounds like a no loss scenario to me.

See you on the battlefield.
