Hey! Wait a minute...I'm an IS pilot. What would I do with an Adder?!

C-Bills and Mech bay.

Me, I'm waiting until May 21st 2017 until I'll be allowed to pilot it

Bad decision in my opinion too. Polygon camo and the cockpit item were items that were bundled with the overly expensive clan packages. Now, they are handed for free, punishing the recent buyers (that would prefer something else) and giving benefit to non-buyers. It doesn't make sense...

An appropriate award is PGI awarding the player that already owns it the purchasing MC value of the gift. It's not that much anyways. (1000MC at most for the camo?)

That would be better than nothing.

Thanks PGI for giving mechs out to those who are always online.

I am not always online, so I will enjoy my premium time and maybe some consumables!! Thanks!!!!

[Catalina Steiner]

I won't be online this weekend to play the challenge but... it's a real good improvement concerning the winning conditions.
Good work, this challenge will be a better one than the last one.

Good luck for all who will participate.

[Ken Harkin]

This is an improvement but I would far prefer match points which may be earned from more the just kills. There are many ways lights help a match but it is hard to consistently get the kills.

[Chuanhao]

I applaud the tiered reward scheme so that between 3 and 50 points you still get rewarded.

How then can we overcome the potential for suicides after getting 1 kill and 1 assist?

The alternative of the "survive till match end" condition to prevent suicide has the effect of people hiding and making it a wild goose chase.

The match score (130?) System promotes LRM or zerg rush to get those assists.

Since there is no one best case, all should just play as usual. Dont sacrifice the family. Be thankful for any rewards that come along with the tiers.

but most important, recognise that the premium time is the absolute best prize as with those three days, and say a few hours play, u can get the mech of your choice with the additional investment of 1.00 for the mech bay.

and that is what im going to do.

gonna use an adder to win an adder!!

[Reaper3015]

Looking forward to this one since its not going to be a grind of the RNG lotto with Matchmaker determining if the point is achieved or not.

[luigi256]

It's nice that you removed the win condition but is there any chance PGI will go back to the other point system? You know the one where getting an assist got you two poins, a kill got you one, Narc and tag gave you points too. I liked that system more.

It's like offering 'loyalty' mechs then giving them to everyone...

I think it could have been made a lot more community warfare friendly and a lot less grindy if there was no match number or per match requirement and the conditions were simply:

Over the weekend reach a total of: X: Assists & Y: Kills for the following rewards.

EG:

• Total 3 assists and 3 kills = 3 days premium time*
  
• Total 10 assists and 10 kills = C-bill consumable prize pack (1 UAV, 1 air strike, 1 cool shot)
  
• Total 20 assists and 20 kills = Double C-bill consumable prize pack (2 UAV, 2 air strike, 2 cool shot)
  
• Total 30 assists and 30 kills = Triple C-bill consumable prize pack (3 UAV, 3 air strike, 3 cool shot)
  
• Total 40 assists and 40 kills = Quadruple C-bill consumable prize pack (4 UAV, 4 air strike, 4 cool shot)
  
• Total 50 assists and 50 kills = Adder - ADR-PRIME and a Mech Bay
  
• Total 60 assists and 60 kills = Color Blue Goluboy
  
• Total 70 assists and 70 kills = Hanging Item - Broken Inner Sphere
  
• Total 80 assists and 80 kills = Adder Permanent Polygon Pattern

This makes a lot more realistic a goal for those who want to play community warfare as they can get multiple kills & assists toward their total in one game and for normal games it means players who are particularly good can actually get more than 1 toward each count in each match & players of lesser skill can at least accumulate any assists they get.

Maybe a suggestion worthy of note for next time out ?

^^^ This. My thoughts exactly.

[Kurni]

In the last event, 169 games = 50 points.
Copy & paste in Excel, filter data > 0 KB, > 0 Assists => 79 fields.
At least in my case, isn't easier than the Raven event.

So, didn't the polygon camo come with this bunch of mechs if you ordered them early?

no, the Adder was in Wave 1, Polygon was given as an early purchase reward for Wave 2

[Victor Steiner Davion Kahn]

Well there went my weekend lol . You are doing a great job PGI with these events, keep it up!!! Now my new camo'ed Champion Raven will have a buddy to hang with .

[Sug]

I appreciate that they listened to our feedback and dropped the win condition. Hopefully it turns out to be an improvement.

[El Bandito]

Wait, so now I get to be as reckless as possible as long as I can get a kill and an assist--**** the teamplay and winning? Oh man, the pug plays are gonna be frenzied even more...

I personally would prefer if the requirements were a win and an assist and the points lowered to 40-50 max.

No it was definitely wave 1 (90% sure lol) - Im pretty sure I had the camo on my mechs before I got wave 2. Wave 2 camo was the specific clan camo's (ghost bear etc)
