Question, doesn't 2015-01-31 23:25:35 mean the last game recorded was about 6:30 EST?

EST is UTC-5, so 23:25:35 UTC would be 18:25, not 6:30

LOL, I noticed something wrong last night with awards. I don't give a hoot about all this banter though. It sounds like the problem will be solved though is that correct?

No.

Once the website stopped counting, your games didn't count for MC. They should have according not only to the Tourny page, but Russ on Twitter. Given it happened at Midnight on the weekend, I'd expect it to take at least a few hours before someone was awake enough to deal with it. We'll see what they say today, though there's a good chance PGI has all the game stats over that period, they just need to adjust their servers to include them, or perhaps they'll extend it.

It was a fun event. Shame it'll be marred by the ending.

HELLO HELLO PGI....

Are we playing Mechwarrior or Twitterwarrior...???!!!!???

You should have posted this on the mwomercs.com page.
A person will only look on mwo page and not on twitter.

I had to search this matter on these many form to see whats the fuss all about. and came to all this s**t..
https://twitter.com/...725825444098048

you need to improve PGI...REALLY TOO MUCH!!!

Twitter is easier to quickly respond to on your phone than the forums. Not saying it's right, but it's there.

Peoples reactions are ridiculous.
Considering PGI were generous enough to extend the champion challenge last week I see no reason why they wont run this challenge again for a day or two as compensation for the few hours screwed up.
Or give some other FREEBIE to make up for the mixup.

Being rude to them will only turn them off being so generous in the future.

They apologised for this mixup and will fix, relax!. If they didnt or there werent any info at all, then I could understand people would get upset. Maybe its wrong of them but twitter is faster to use as far as I know. Theres that side of logic.

Finally I got my MC , thanks . Although I only manage to get around 1400mc, I am having great fun trying my Loki (HellBringer) finally. No wonder I see so many Loki running around. It has a good payload, hardpoint, armour, heat management, speed and ECM. Will master it.

I wish they say what is been redeem instead "check inventory" as if we know what it is they putting in. I had to search high and low to check what is new.

I still getting that redeem page again and again.

Did you order the resistance pack?

Did you unlock Radar Derp, Target INfo Gathering and Seismic? If not, unlock those, and the next redeem should be your last.

The only complaint I understand is that their official response hasn't been on the forums. I get why, but they should put one here at some point.

Twitter seems to Russ's favorite method of getting information out quickly - I'd rather they post it on the web site, but at least there are people who use twitter and are kind enough to post it here.

Thanks for the Mc (I only made about 1,000), it was a fun event marred only by the rude people shooting team mates in the back and those who wouldn't allow others to get an assist in before they killed the last guy.

This was a better formula than the previous ones requiring a Kill AND Win - I hope they continue this format.

edit - grammer.

p.s. - Why does the web site log you out while editing?

last recorded match was at 2:18 PM PST, that leaves almost 10 hours unaccounted for, including matches that scored, and I am sure not by me alone.

18:25 and 6:30 are 5 minutes apart and civilian vs military time, essentially only 5 minutes off

One of the many many many things I don't understand.

"Why does the web site log you out while editing?"

Its all part of the giant insidious plot!...and there the worst kind! :D

I am having the same problem - and I got my Warhorn from the resistance package, but not the modules. I wrote to Support already... I am hoping it's just a glitch

At the risk of quoting myself earlier...

Did you unlock Radar Derp, Target Info Gathering and Seismic? If not, unlock those, and the next redeem should be your last. If you don't have the bonus modules unlocked, they will keep you in the redeem loop.

Hesh just noticed that as per the month 2 reward was a coffee mug (don't really care about the cockpit items so only noticed it now)

You know what would be cool ? if each time you over heated and had that item in your cockpit while you wait for your Mech to cool off ... you get an animation of you sipping some coffee from that mug :P

If I am not mistaken - there is no assist, unless the painted mech is killed - so painting doesn't mean squat. I would hope even the densest noop would figure that out pretty quickly (I hope).

For me personally, I push all the scoring requirements for these events out of my head when I'm playing (or at least I try) - I find that it really screws up my play style, instead I focus on the basic tactics which I adhere to and I usually do pretty well, and most importantly the game doesn't turn into a grind. If I want grind - I do work - this is suppose to for fun.

True there were a number of matches where my team won, and I miss the 20 MCs by one assist or a few points, but there were a number of matches where I got 20 MCs where my team lost and I just barely made the 130 points.

For what it is worth - I finished with 1200 MC - which is 1200 more than I had before the event.

It's all good - and fun.

Are you sure, because the one is early evening and the other is early morning. Quite a difference.

^^^
I didn't have much playing time this wkd, but I qualified on 75% on my games just playing normally.

Extension would be great, but tonights the Super Bowl and we have a lot of friends coming over!

Go Nobody! (I loathe both Billicheat and the Seadderall Seahawks)
