I am sick and tired of these weekend centered events. PGI started it with this round of events originally, Fri-Sun (closing early mon morning) and then 1 or 2 weekend later corrected their error with Fri-Tues (10am close) events. Now its back to not only Fri-Sun events but each event was a single day? Thanks PGI...I understand a lot of the battletech fan base are older 9-5 Mon-Fri guys, but some of us LITERALLY work ALL weekend. If I had woken up at 10am (or whatever time Fri) I may have 'possibly' finished the first event.

This is actually the same issue I (and others) have had with Destiny. There's a merchant NPC (high level gear) that shows up Friday morning to Sunday morning and its rare I get to interact with it because I work ~40 hours from Friday to Sunday (sometimes more depending on the week).

Something that was really good with the last challenge was that you could do it both in the group queue and in the solo queue, please keep that feat!!

lord........its two days after the challenge ended.
I'm grabbing a quick game before work, and I'm thinking...odd...I'm only getting skirmishes..........what the hell is going on!


yeah.......forgot to tick the other games after it ended. [/facepalm]

+1 to making future challenges solo or drop. Brilliant.

First off, thanks for the Challenges and the rewards I did get Devs, keep them coming, most of us love them. I have put a ticket in regarding the first challenge, Conquest. For some reason it did not give me the rewards and did not count all of my matches. I had around 164 going into my last match, and my final game I got 42 points and it was entered before the contest clock ran out.... pushing me above the 200 mark.

I am hoping to get credit for the challenge, the days PT, and the wish bone hanging Item :-)

It was just as bad during the challenge. Once our group completed, we went to select all to see what was most popular - 95% Assault, 4% Skirmish, 1% Conquest.

Strange, last I had checked, there was a prompt. Will get that double-checked. In either case. I know at the core, a few people are hinting that they want these awards to become Banked Premium Time instead. We really want to restrict the use of the Banked system to it's original target of pre-orders. If we use it more, we start to break apart the purpose of having an unlimited-use subscription system in the first place, which is to give incentives and value to players who come back frequently in the same way it would for regular readers of a periodical or with memberships for those frequent a gym. The pay-as-you go and other models some players have recommended deviating towards don't always provide that specific incentive to return regularly, and often the decreased use of such models needs to be off-set with greatly increased prices (and, in our case, fewer free prizes.)

I agree with that player.. items are redeemed as soon as you exit the match. There is no 'redeem' button you can press; even if there is one that appears, you get no chance to press it as items are redeemed autoamatically.

Yup. No way to delay redeeming items, it's forced on you. You can actually see the PT counter change while it redeems it.
