So basically one could sit and do nothing and reap the same rewards as those that played their butts off? I'm missing an incentive. It's good to see an objective based Tourny, but make it mode-specific and team-work oriented, with winning team-player rewards. This seems no different than any other day with an exception to "please play".

Don't get me wrong, love the tournies, but this could have been better thought out?

The intent of this event isn't really very clear. The text indicating that you're earning a discount on the Stormcrow and Shadowhawk for C-Bills should be more prominent.

First, thanks for so many events recently. I missed the last several and logged in today thinking there would be another week or more before a new community event started, but a few hours later I saw this one.

I think it would be interesting if the system would scale a benefit to participants based on their contribution to the event (using whatever appropriate metrics). This way, people that participate more heavily get a little more than someone like me that will contribute very little overall (as I only play a few matches a day at most).

I think that would better incentivise people playing more during the event without penalizing people unable to play many many matches per day. Then the discount could only be applied (in general) to participants during the event, with their participation amount scaling up the discount at some arbitrary rate.

Nice. May buy a Shadowhawk just cause.



I feel this is a test for some kind of CW functionality of dynamic mech prices....

[990Dreams]

Since I don't buy things with , this doesn't apply to me

Or will this lower the price of the Stormcrow? If so then I am gonna play hard.

Thank you PGI for the event. (nevermind what else I said, I see the date for the sale starting after the event ends).

There is no need to opt in, just play in solo or group queues to help complete objectives, or you can also go play outside or play your other favorite games while dedicated MWO players collect enough point for you to get a discount up to 50%.

There, I fixed it.

More seriously, I must admit that I'm pretty happy the sale is not only when using but too. Thank you for that. If I count correctly, it will bring the Stormcrow to about 5.5 millions , right?

PGI: They are complaining about free Premium Time being activated immediately when they return to the mechlab and that the prompt to accept it is a lie.

PGI2: Then let's scrap all personal rewards until they learn to no expect free stuff every weekend.

PGI3: Sounds good. Let's do that.

Well, even if the prize is completely worthless to a large number of players, at least this event shouldn't screw up game play this weekend.

Guess they can't always have worthwhile prizes. Leaves me free to just play as usual however, with no incentives to worry about, so that's a plus.

'Meeting match objectives over the weekend will drive down the MC and C-Bill price of the Stormcrow and Shadowhawk chassis' as well as Mechbays'

[FrontGuard]

This is a non event.
We should play more to get a discount on a purchase?
oh please
I'll just play as usual

[Hayato1983]

This is some good sht.!

[Worm Seraphin]

Going by current numbers the 45% looks likely, i can live with that.
Let's keep it up guys!

As far as Weekend events go, this one is utter crap.

I'll be surprised if more than 5% of the player base makes it over the 15% discount, and then, woopie die ******* doo.... a 20% discount on 2 mech's variants and mech bays....

This is not setting the bar low... this is setting the bar high and than realizing it's for a limbo dance and you're ********.

You are reading it wrong. Points are for all matches played across the player base.

[Kali Rinpoche]

Reading comprehension skills for the win! I appreciate the chance to save x% on Tuesday. I put aside 30mil for the Crow and 40 Mill for the TW's. Now I can rebuy a stock Hunchie and get in on Stock Mondays too.

Danka!

Got it... I skimmed, guilty as charged for using the internet normally and evading filler text blocks.

This should be the 1st sentence under details.
"The participation of the entire MWO community will help decide the value of these items during a 4-day sale event starting October 21s"

I guess it's better than a kick in the teeth.

But really, they should put all the Tier 5 mechs on sale so people can stockpile for the November quirk patch.

Everybody should only play skirmish if we want to do this as efficiently as possible.

Personally skirmish blows chunks. I'd rather play conquest and win that way. Sorry
