Greetings MechWarriors,

Welcome to the Primary Objective Mark II event.

Your mission, as a community, is to collectively score points that will be used to reduce the price of all Weapon Modules purchasable with C-Bills by up to 50%.

Every completion of any Community Warfare or Public Match game mode in either the Solo or Group queues will contribute points to the overall community score. The final community score will determine which of the Weapon Module discount tiers is unlocked. The unlocked discount tier will take effect during a 4-day sale event starting February 9th at 10:00 AM PST.

There is no need to opt-in for this event, so get some matches in this weekend and do your part in completing the Primary Objective Mark II event!

Points are allocated to the total community score according to the following values:

Invasion Mode

• Attackers Win: 40 points
• Defenders Win: 20 points

Counter-Attack Mode

• Counter Attackers Win: 40 points
• Defenders Win: 20 points

Assault Mode

• Primary Objective: Capture the enemy base - 20 points
• Secondary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 10 points
• Draw - 5 points

Conquest Mode

• Primary Objective: Acquire the maximum resource points - 20 points
• Secondary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 10 points
• Draw - 5 points

Skirmish Mode

• Primary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 15 points

Rules

• Points are counted on a per-match basis; players do not generate individual points.
• No opt-in required. All players automatically qualify to participate.
• All CW modes and Public Match (Solo and Group queue) will be counted.

It's good to see events relying on things beyond mass slaughter.


At the same time, it's sad that you won't find much in the way of people actually doing the primary objective without something bribing them to do so like this, since literally Everything Else pays better.

Looking forward to when completing the objectives mean something again. Gameplay was at its best when objectives were more important than how fast you could dispatch enemies.

Would prefer this if it was a discount on the more expensive modules,

But some of the weapon modules are useful.

[ColonelProctor]

Awesome event! I want some of the modules for the weapons and anything off is good.

[Goose]

I forget: Was the cap time in conquest changed before or after the last one of these?

[HARDKOR]

Sweet. I need a crapload of modules for my new clam collection.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

OK, you may see me a bit for this. Just to help everybody else out. Even though I am about done.

Unfortunately, this event will almost certainly turn out like the last Primary Event where having all three game modes checked as I do means 90% of games are skirmish- that way everyone just gets to kill mindlessly as usual, while still racking up plenty of global objective points.

[Flaming oblivion]

Good thing is this wont cause bad gameplay . As the gains aren't that great nice setting of pace with all the challenges lately.

[Big Tin Man]

They do this right after a couple weeks straight of c-bill sales on IS and Clan mechs. I blew my nest egg already.

Bad Bad sneaky PGI.

[The Boneshaman]

dang and I just got my 2 victors and 2 king crabs so I can up grade my king crab (L) and the Victor I won from the "To The Victors" event. Lucky I go the Victors when they were on sale. still only have 3 mill. left.

[Evil Ed]

Terrible event. I want to fight for the other side - making the modules even more expensive that is.

[sabujo]

Great event! May this open future mech modules and engines sales!
And the best part: no red X icon if you have no time to play!
Thanks!

[Rhialto]

Wonder if we will see Assault matches turn into Conquest matches as the biggest bonus for this event comes from Capture the enemy base while people usually Destroy the enemy team.

[The Trumpet of Gabriel]

@Rhialto: I don't think so...People will more than likely want to grind the cbills to purchase the modules when they do go on sale.

[Heuvadoches]

Yeah ... I don't care if you made Conquest a 1,000 point win. I still wouldn't play it.
