Would've been a good opportunity to give out LTD versions of Radar Derp and Seismic for the end point totals, but this is okay too.

Awesome sauce PGI.

And I can actually play this weekend now exams are over.

Interesting challenge, should be good for some earnings.

Given the match length and search times for matches it will take a little time though that is for sure.

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

[Wieland]

Hard to do when no matches open.
Yesterday it was 1 match in 3 hours.
Today i am already waiting 30 minutes without a match.

Apollo and Turtle Bay seem like hot spot planets if you are Steiner for a defend. All my matches have been on those so far.

Yeah i get that defend turtle bay message but i wait in the lobby and wait and nothing happens.

Well, at least it's 20 points for all rewards... I like it.

You have to play invasion game mode, which is Community warfare. You don't need to be in a unit/group to play that.

I don't think it's too hard to get 80 points in the course of 4 mechs..
But finding 20 matches before the weekend ends will be the real struggle.

Apollo i waited like anywhere from 5-15 minutes I think. Lords are hitting it hard. Least it was last night.

Ok but when I start MWO do I need to go into the Faction menu at the top? Then select a faction? I just don't want to join any, I have no knowledge in BT universe so I don't know any faction so it would be hard to select one... I just prefer to remain a lone wolf.

You have to be in a faction, but you could choose a contract that's not permanent.

Watch out for Turtle Bay, it might get nuked from orbit. . .

I played 4 matches last night. It took anywhere from 35 minutes down to 2 minutes to find a match. All of the jumping in and out of the Lobby is contributing to the long wait times.

Click either the Defend or Attack notification that flashes in the lower right corner of the User Interface/Mech Lab. Then click either the Defend or Attack button on the launch/Lobby window and wait.

Once everyone gets used to it, matches will load quicker.

Nice way to promote CW, PGI !

Keep up the good work.

[Hamish McPiton]

Yeah - don't click in and out - get in, wait - as soon as people get used to it match waits will be much shorter.

Can I leave at any time? I see signing up for a 7 days contract gives no extra anyway so can I leave after 2 days?

You aren't so much 'joinging' a faction as being paid by them to fight their enemies. Just pick a house (if you want to use IS mechs) or a clan (for clan mechs) sign up for a 7 day contract and off ya go for the points ya want. Dropping solo last night I had anywhere from 1-12min waits for matches. I do think the IS vs Clan planets get matches faster for solos since they combine houses to fight the clans.

You can break the contract at any time. After joining yesterday I checked, and to break a 7 day contract would cost 200,000 cbills. Not sure how that goes down as you time passes. But you will earn more than that as you play this weekend, took me only 4 matches to get the first 3 cbill rewards from the house loyalty points yesterday.
