I think this challenge is a sad joke.. Terrible Player Base.

[Bront]

40 minutes of waiting, I gave up. Had a 6 man, went to planets asking for defenders, and nothing. We'll try again tonight.

[SixstringSamurai]

This challenge is rather sad, but I guess a small fraction of what you can earn while actually earning these, is a boost even if it's a tiny boost by comparison.

[Tarys]

Extrem bad lags (plays like you have the memory leak bug ...), missing mechinfos when someone aint logged into the game (hope this aint a feature), no clue how many people are in the queue for one planet (results at least for me in leaving the queue after a few minutes), on Sulfur shots seem to be able to fly through buildings like we had it on the bog map ... but well it is beta ... even if it feels more like alpha

and from the view of spend time and earned money cw aint even paying off ...

Takes about half an hour to find a match (if you're lucky, I've waited an hour now for the first one), another 30 to finish it......10 points is 10+ hours give or take? Potentially twelve to thirteen hours?
Who has that kind of time?

I think we should get a point IF we find a match

5 games so far and nothing but a boring walk in the park..... this is truly depressing.

A first step would be to limit group sizes to 2, 4, 6 and 12 players only.

[Mathias Gray]

Makes me wonder if some of these 25-30 min wait times is because there's a match already taking place on that planet, and there's a limit of 1 match per planet. Might be nice to know if something is currently happening there so I can look elsewhere to get into the action, because as of now I've never seen a planet removed from the View List or anything, and I'm sitting in the lobby waiting... and waiting...

CW is a ton of fun right now. Good job so far PGI! I'm digging the play style. Brings back memories of Mechwarrior 2 and NetMech.

How are you guys even getting into matches?

I have played 3, all were before this 'challenge' and using all of my resources (this forum and those pop ups in game) I have yet to find a single match and I do wait for them (for days it feels like, but I just read 2/3 of Eragon this morning waiting in queue for this,) I gave up and started playing in the standard queue

[Draal Kaan]

At first i was like "yay and stuff"...
Now i am stuck in the queue, waiting for someone.... Boooooring.
If i could at least do something... Dunno like cleaning upo the mech hangars...

[Someone remembering classic WoW-PVP where you did wait hours for Alterac? ]

[Gungem]

Sorry to say, but this is just ****. Waiting ....waiting ...waiting nothing more happens

[Saobh]

hehe

We should in fact win points by how long we wait before matches

[That Dawg]

I suspect this "challenge" weekend, may push MORE players AWAY from the game, than draw them in.
Pugs, and WOT for me this weekend.

And really? THREE clicks to get out of the que?
click cancel...click yes
then, when you get dumped back to the lobby, have to click...again?? WTF

[Ren Kurogane]

...Invasion was fun, but i'm still struggling to getting through 20 matches of

<high ping
<fps drop
<missing cockpit
<ever-changing hardpoints' position
<walking through mechs
<stuck on mech selection screen occasionally
<getting sent back to mechlab occasionally

. Barely reach 700 damage in my last match. Oh, btw, my teammates could see me walking normally, while i felt like teleporting around the battlefield...(flicker strike )

[LennStar]

Always see the positive!

When you use https://www.duolingo.com while you wait, you could learn a new language!

[That Dawg]

I've become fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, and one sub dialect once thought extinct, only common in the lower mountain regions of Kunlunshan and Qinling regions waiting for my third drop of the night.

So if I'm a lone wolf and only PUG I can't get those rewards, right?

No, you can get a short time contract like a mercenary, get in the fight and get thoses rewards.

But if of course you want your own personal case just for you. No.

I am learning spanish too, at level 7 now.

[G SE7EN7]

The only way I can do this without going crazy:
Steam to twitch and watch my channel on my phone.
Now I can walk around and do something else, when a game comes up, run to my comp...lol eh it works...

Edit: FAIL!!! logged out due to inactivity....sigh, that was after 45mins in a lobby.
