As much as I enjoy the challenges, we can't expect to see one every weekend. I just hope there is something neat for Christmas.

If they ran them every weekend they wouldn't be very special. That's the point of events. They're atypical and the more you run them the more they lose their luster

It's awfully quiet. It's almost like they're working on something huge that will be released in a week or two :)

I love the weekly events, but for most of this game's history, challenges and tournaments have been a semi-monthly thing. Even quarterly. It's been good these past few months, so I don't mind the occassional quiet time.

This....

if anything I would like to see some Colors or Patterns on sale.... and maybe some Mechs for C Bills on sale... Thats it

Not at all mate, it's clear that you don't have a clue about the game, it's origin, the current models, or decent teamplay tactics. So your ignorance makes it easy just to laugh at your trolling here.

What is even nicer is you whole "I spend a lot of money" pitch you put near the beginning of your post, this makes it clear you are a Bozo so that most people can skip the rest of your clueless comment, thanks for that, quite considerate!


Protip! enjoy this non-event weekend buddy! because when CW lands you clearly won't be able to keep up.

Bye bye!

There was too much forum rage about the last few contests, so we aren't getting one this weekend.

This is why we can't have nice things!


What are you talking about? The absence of a botched challenge is the nicest event in weeks.

I'm thinking that PGI are far too busy working on community warfare.

I'm expecting something special for an X-mas event. Russ already solicited ideas on events (not specifically X-mas) on twitter. I'm guessing at the least a "Stocking Stuffer" event on par with Halloween, in conjunction with something else. We shall see.

Anyone hear news about this week end? 12/5/2014 - 12/7/2014
Will there be an Event or a Contest?

I looked at the usual places and see nothing.

They're probably making everyone work on Community Warfare which is due on Dec. 16.

I've liked every single challenge! But a cooldown period is fine. I'd turn on some premium time, but waiting for Gargoyle to drop. I want to run that thing without elites for as little as possible.

Good, I might actually play this weekend.

Yeah, I'm one of those guys who has put a lot of money into the game and can't stand the horrible gamification behavior during the contest weekends.

Got a problem with it? Spend more money, hobo. I don't completely blame the F2P scavengers for the game play, as it's PGIs fault for setting up rewards in a way that more or less guaranteed horrible behavior from the proles.

Got a problem with my attitude? I care a lot.


Now I want the contest even more.
