Really.
AND I THANK YOU.
couple of days of premium, mech bay, wheelbarrow full of cbills, half a ton of machine gun am...yeah, there was that

I really aint got crap to complain about. Grinding some mechs (the champions are like walking ATM machines), you guys fixed some things, still seem to working on other things.
my hit regs ok, my drop times are ok, my kill to death ratio is ok, my random pug hook up teams have mostly been ok (if ya know what I mean, and I think you do *wink*wink*)


Heres our lance out looking for suitable Christmas trees for the base.

I seem to get lots of C-bills, GXP and ammo, but MC and Mechbays are elusive. I like the Christmas tree picture

Only Thing is that the ammount of bags could be increased. Especially on the Cw bar. Lets say you can have 50 bags from cw matches. Would drive ppl over the holiday into cw matches

You don't have to do anything but play normally. Look at your end of match score, if it's 30 or more in Assault/Conquest/Skirmish you get a package just like the Halloween event. Invasion mode your end of match score needs to be 80 or more to get a package. You can get 25 packages per game mode, so a maximum total of 100 package qualifying games.

It isn't a tourney, it is an bonus event.

[FupDup]

It's supposed to be easy, because if it was "hard" then people would be drastically changing their play habits over Christmas break and do stupid **** like killwhoring, cowering, and/or other shenanigans. The requirements are low so that people can just kick back and relax for the holidays, instead of getting super tense and jerky trying to farm the rewards.

[Bishop Steiner]

Kind of a pleasant break, actually.

[Monkey Lover]

It's been active since 10AM PST yesterday. You don't have to sign up, and there is nothing in game. The rewards are presents on your tournaments page https://mwomercs.com/tournaments
Scroll down to the bottom to see your match results.

Play games, go to the bottom of this page:

http://mwomercs.com/tournaments

Cycle through the game modes (that you've played) and reap the rewards. Wait up to 15 minutes for the server to update.

I keep getting C-bills and MC, but no mechbays, ammo, or cockpit items.

Got a few airstrikes though.

THAT!!!

[Telmasa]

Pfft, this event sucks! I have to play Conquest to get an additional 25 totally free gifts?!?!


In all seriousness, it's nice to have an event that's so casual compared to more recent ones.

Happy Holidays all... even you, Bishop Steiner.

hey, least you didnt drown in naughty gifts like you expected

[Rando Slim]

Yes I love this event as well, they made the threshold lower so I can run whatever I want and not have to win or play super meta A-game to get the reward, its nice to be able to relax and hang out while still getting some rewards and prevents me from getting butthurt from all the incessant lrm spam that usually happened for people to inflate their scores, now I can lose and not feel like my time is being wasted in disparaging fashion. It was getting to the point where weekends were about the worst times to be playing MWO.

I'm still going to farm in Conquest... with a Wubgoyle.

[TLBFestus]

Watch the Airstrikes, arty, and coolshots...many of them are 'premium/priority" and they cost MC if you have them set up to auto-reload.
