CW is something you can do after you max out the pug drops. And 40 max is only if you meet the qualifying score of 80 (no light rush please)...


That's true, but CW matches require reasoning 2 or 3 times more of your time.

The math favors doing regular matches over CW, which will indirectly affect the CW queues.

I'd like to know what a "qualifying match" actually is.

It's listed in the News. You only need a Match Score of 30 for the normal Modes and 80 for CW.

Thank you Russ and PGI.
I'm sure some will complain about this (why I have no idea) but you cant make everyone happy. I have invested $thousand+$ easy into this game. I'm satisfied were we are. Happy about where we are going. Weekend give backs like this make what I have spent worth it and reassure me spending more is a good decision.



Someone give this guy a hat...and a dose of wtf is wrong with you. You hardly have a game yet you as a whale spent thousands? Single life eh?

Not MC's, but CBills? :unsure:


I always visit these posts just to see what people would complain about and it's always funny. Surprised he isn't asking for a paycheck of receiving $1USD per game played.

You get up to a maximum of 20 qualifying matches per weight class






wonder if this will finally diversify the mech queues a bit............probably will, or probably means everyone will just cram lrms to any mech with a missile hardpoint. either way, lets hope it doesn't mutate into another mercenary event again.


also: I need the cbills to get another radar derp so good thing this event is happening.......

Heavies have always been the most common in the queue, but since the quirks it has been shifting around alot. I agree though, this will really add alot of dynamics this weekend. This is gonna be fun!

Time to get on the grind after work tomorrow! :D

Lol, if $5 is flowing (at lowest MC package), I'd hate to see a trickle.

Well, just joined a unit and was hoping for some CW drops, but I had to spend a cool mill just to break my contract so they could pick me up. So I can earn 12 mill extra? And there's no encouragement to drop asap. Kills and Assists will matter! I wonder if I can go 80 good matches out of 100? Hmmmmm...... Sooo tempting! AHHHHHRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Should be as long as you get the required score. That's why they didn't consider Trial champs as earning the 50% increase. Trial mech games counted toward prizes in all the other events I have participated in.

It says specifically that champion mechs dont count.
