Copy that. Best event ever. Thank you.

More Cbills when I sell it, cant argue about another free mech bay..........Thanks PGI

[Randalf Yorgen]

lots of secondary accounts being made to take advantage of the offer, good to see. However I'm afraid PGI will look at the data and say "OMG SO MANY NEW PLAYERS, we as completely on the right track here." To bad all it will do is encourage them to keep going in the direction they are now with the core developement vague direction the game is going in now.

It is a nice reward though, Mech plus mech bay, just like the Centurian give away that Russ spoke so much about in ngng 105. It was one of the things that gave PGI really positive feedback that they were using to choose the direction of the game from. Guess they needed something to boost their moral again... or was this the weekend that the dog fighting module was said to be coming out?

Yesterday i won 9 games, but the challanges say "40%" and "2 out of 5".
OK, sometimes i died ingame.

Who is the trick for this challange?!?

Very smart decision, PGI. Releasing an exclusive 'Mech for free means that a lot of players will stick around longer than the required 5 victories in order to test their new 'Mech and grind some chassis XP. It would be nice if this were to become a trend, maybe even a monthly or bi-monthly thing.

If they had started doing this a year ago I would be all over supporting this idea but as it is now, they are trying to close the barn doors after the cows have left. Too little to late to many new titles within a few months of launch.

Is there anyone at PGI that can explain the wisdom of this marketing? It only alienates pilots, both old and new. Just this morning, I am solo dropping for the PUG mech, and so far the teams I have dropped with have lost 12 straight! 12 losses. Think about the odds on that for a moment.

1) Read this thread. The praise for it is almost universal.

2) You can be grouped and earn this mech.

3) It's pretty likely that for every loss you experience, someone else is experiencing a win. Think about it.

Shhhhh... that's logic.

It's like when the PUGs were complaining how they were getting ROFLSTOMPED by the "Evil Premade Boogeymen" when you could form >4 teams, and how they were always loosing to teams of Premades, though, they'd never acknowledge that they were equally likely to be on a team that was mostly premades when they won.

Launch solo... or don't! Apparently it doesn't matter.

7 of your 9 wins were probably before the event started

Launch solo.

Got a friend completed last night while dropping in a 3 man and later it was 2 man. took about 9 drops for him.

[GunnyKintaro 01]

thanks PGI !

[DarthPeanut]

Was fun, got mine last night. Took about 10-12 matches and was a rough grind at first. Lots of good players on last night.

Even seen a premade of IGP last night?!

[Helsbane]

Ummm.... Jugger, as a member of HHoD, with an entire battalion available to back you up, to say nothing of the seven other battalions we have, why are you dropping solo? I rolled with a couple guys in 6th bat last night and got mine in six games.

Ignoring the question doesn't answer it. Can someone justify that many losses in a row?

Jugger, it could just be bad luck, buddy, though the matchmaker is not optimal.. I've had streaks almost that bad. If you want, I can hop on at some point today and help you grind out the wins.

[ERescue]

First of all, thank you. Then a minor note on wins needed. Yesterday, I managed 10 games, out of which I got a single win. Today, I needed 8 games, 2 wins, then 3 losses, a win, a loss and then a win to finish. To be honest, even under optimal circumstances, 35 wins would be impossible as I do not get 35 games total in a weekend.
