Is this the Battle of Tukayyid event Russ has been talking about? This is at the bottom of the newest MWO email.

I think it's just another Clan vs. IS event. Dunno if it is group only or Solo-Q included. Since the quirks are more or less stabilized for the IS side, the stats should be interesting to compare to previous two Clan vs. IS events.

I probably am not gonna participate since I am busy enjoying the HoTS Beta right now.

So its about gathering data? should we go to IS side and own clanners to make data more "correct" ? or should we intentionally screw our performance to be on lower IS pilot levels, because they still try to snipe at 800m with theur green laserpointers?

I am not sure what this is going to be about.

I really hope they do not devalue such an epic event like the Battle for Tukayyid with this half-assed CW pseudo arena fight. Tukayyid was combined arms (IS) vs state of the art battlemechs (Clans). Sure they had air and elemental support, too

And if it is CW, I have a MWO free weekend :)

I hope it's not a straight out Clan vs IS tourney of tears... because there's going to be a lot of qq.

It needs to be CW related or it's a non-event IMO.

"Prove your allegiance".

I think this will be increased reward/advancement in faction standing. Thats it folks.

This..this is why we can't have nice things.

And ants...this is why we get ants.

YES, THE MECHBAYS WILL BE MINE

Good thing i haven't sold my other Thunderbolts (well 2/3 of them are fully elited)
Will be running all of them (probably non-meta builds? I never bothered to actually look up metabolt builds, i just run whatever i feel works for me)

If that's the case, I'll probably just play Pillars of Eternity instead. The last few weekends of 20+ hour challenges have me a little burned out.

So many games to play, so little time.

Seriously.

Not a bad weekend event, honestly. Very nice top-tier reward.

Grindfest weekend.

Bleh I guess, but it's limited to CW, but that might be somewhat problematic.

The rewards are meh (the 45% sale a while back was better than this), but getting a Thunderbolt-9SE was what I didn't manage to get from the Faction sales, and it's a Champion (not a real bonus), so I guess that works out for me.

Stormcrow-Prime is a good thing to sell anyways if you need those C-bills.
