Thanks and praise the Lord!

well done, this may help soothe my bleeding ****. still dosen't make up for ui 2.0 though..

[Lunatic_Asylum]

This is one of the worst ideas after the Cadet Bonus. Why is it 5 matches, and not over 25? We used to get cockpit items at 25 won matches.
It is really frustrating and exacerbating, PGI...

Next time (I take it that editing the current event is impossible), please make it over 30 matches...

That was a bad move. People will want more free things with less effort after this. What is the occasion, anyway?!

Won my free Champion in 1 hour. Keeping my standard 9A as well. My standard is ballistic. It is like playing 2 totally different mechs. Love them both. Thanks again, PGI!!

5 wins is much more casual friendly. 25 wins at 10 min per match (assuming 50% W/L because Elo) is over 8 hours of playing. Over a weekend.

That's not a good idea.

Consider it a free mechbay and Cbills then

Edit: if you do sell one - I would lean more toward selling the non-© one, as if nothing else, it earns 10% more GXP as well.

I was thinking about it but it seems my bought camo pattern cannot be transferred onto it as the champions count as seperate mechs. Oh well, no problems c-bills is always welcome. Also, don't really need GXP at all, got the modules i actually want unlocked and still got loads of GXP. (I do not use GXP on mech skill unlocks btw)

If it was a full-unlock for the camo it should have I would think...

Keep in mind with the modules that more will be added as the game goes on (they seem to be the equivalent to WoW's raids or something )

So, when are we going to meet the new community manager?

right?!

who the hell did you grab from america that knows how to appease the player base while still bringing in revenues for your company?

yall wanted to act like, and be like, a big developer, this is a small step in the right direction (which i see the ui 1.5 is slowly doing that as well)

keep it coming

(i still dont have hope i will get anything you promised by the end of this year though)

I wasn't a full unlock, simply for the CN9-A, i've sold mechs with camo patterns i bought like this and bought them back and was able to put them straight back on for free. So i kinda assumed it'd work on a champion but no, no bother anyway if new modules come out i want i've already got loads of GXP stored which will only keep increasing as i play.

Also, i've got way too many medium mechs taking different roles that this wont be any use to me, free mechbay and more c-bills is fine though.

[MightyBolamite]

Thanks for the birthday weekend present.
I really do think this is a great idea.
Do they unlock immediately or at a later date?

Nevermind. Just had to relog a few times.

^I got a notice in the mechlab it was unlocked about 10 minutes after completing the challenge MightyBolamite

Had some good runs tonight and picked up the freebie champion centurion in about 8 matches. I shall name it FREE BEE and love it as though it were purchased with lots of hard-earned C-Bills.

Great challenge on the heels of the double XP weekend and the discounted hero mechs. Well done!

10-30 minutes after you finish your 5th win

Might need to restart the game to make it show though

heh, this was a great idea, but having 25 wins for a 4 day period is not unreasonable either. 25 wins in 48 hours? much more of a challenge, and should reward something mouth watering imo.

more pew pew less QQ on this one.

I would agree with this for a Hero, but for a Champion, the 5 wins feels right.

As you've seen in the thread, even good players seem to be having bad luck, I was lucky enough to get 5 wins right off the bat.

[Will9761]

Thank you for the CN9-A(C). I love it.

Do you need to sign up for this one like other events, or is it automatic?

heh, i went 8-4 in my first 12 matches solo, then ran jenners with a friend and we went 5-0, then grabbed the rest of our units 4 man lance and had terrible luck going 3-10 trying all kinds of different lance combos.

Awww. I only just bought this recently last time it was on sale.. but awesome move! I'll be sure to tell friends how have given MWO a cold shoulder to come back and get back into it! Nice to see some support going back into the players! 100% support! Thinking about the clan package again...
