Um, I've never seen mention of a match score before. How is this determined and where do I find it?

Nice one, first XP, then CBills

So let's see how we'll do this...

Assault: King Crab
Heavy: Founders Cat of course... maybe with a little Ilya mixed in
Medium: hmm... Sparky or X-5? not sure here
Light: I'd guess we'll see some Huginns this weekend, at least mine.


I'm really tempted to buy the Pirates Bane and Gray Death this weekend, but I'm not sure if I want to level another locust...

You can keep it frankly, Been playing a lot less lately,

Isnt worth it.


You have a quarter of a million registered game accounts, Yet only around 300 people playing actively, And you still don't see a problem still wont fix stuff.

The game is fine, there are far more than 300 playing at any given moment. Do not pull numbers out of your ass, I play every night and see new players almost every game, whether it is a pub drop, or CW.

I may have just jumped for joy. I have heroes and loyalty mechs in 3 weight classes.

On a side note: which hero mech is the best in the heavy class.

Pirates Bane is one of my favorites in the light heroes. It doesn't pack the punch of the Huggins or Embers, but what it gets in insane speed is a blast.

It shows up at the end of each match and 30 is very doable, even if you are new or like light mechs.

Nice little event but honestly these C-Bill increases should be regularly added to the income.

And again PGI reduces the incentive to play CW since the overall bonuses are worse (CW more time consuming and less total earnings possible) and less constant (win vs loss creates different maximum earnings).

So again CW gets the boot in terms of general player base.

Maybe change it to:
Get 75.000 C-Bills for every "special mech" in your deck for every 30 points generated in a CW match (stacks up to 4 times).
So if a player has 4 "special mechs" and reaches 120 points he earns 300.000 C-Bills extra.

Give it a maximum of 20 if you must, otherwise match length, waiting times and ceasefires create enough obstacles anyway.

With regards,

Great, bonus c-bills. And with a event that counts match score! Double score for PGI!!

[Fyrwulf]

I've had two matches over thirty and they apparently haven't counted. Bullshit.

@ topic I will use: Heavy Metal / Hellbringer (I) / Sparky / Pirate´s Bane or Death´s Knell

Just returned to the game after being gone a while , bought a clan pack , IS mech or two to add to what already had and enjoying the game greatly.

Appreciate the sale this weekend and bonus again , and it's amusing to see the bitching from whiners , about a bonus in-game weekend on currency , for a game you don't have to spend anything on to play to start with.

The entitlement whining and complaining I see from some is a laughable as those who complain about 50% sales on Steam instead of 75% sales.

[John1352]

I think this sort of event is nearly ideal. If I only have time to get 49 qualifying games I get a reward proportional to what I did. If I got 49 points in the adder event I would have been pissed off, in this event I'd be happy!

[Ultragen]

Thank you PGI for this. While I managed to grind myself for the Victor, I could not repeat this for the raven or the cataphract or the adder. But this, this I can benefit from! And in addition to the hero sale, I can benefit even more.
Thank you

I will probably end up having too much fun in huginn and 8z

I will most likely forget to earn cbills in three other weight classes

Oh hey, a cbill boosting event!

Sounds I can take a break from Elite: Dangerous for a weekend.

That game is such a mess. I stopped playing ED completely after 1.1 and went back to MWO.

[Winddancer]

Thanks for this tournament. I will deeply enjoy it!

[NUJRSYDEVIL]

Seems fun, the LRMing begin!

That said, should I get the LDG or Firebrand? Been eyeing those two for awhile/

Can you imagine the "outrage" of the CW regulars if PGI made the bonuses so good that every newb and their Trial Mechs showed up ALL weekend and "ruined" "their" Game?

It is pathetic now how they want to rid CW of any new players. Can't imagine how bad it would get if PGI actually incentivized CW play for new players. OMG! LOL

By my reckoning, this is still a win .

Also, super nice that the "special" mechs form the various mechpacks AND the reward mechs all count as money-earning specials. I'm just vexed about the sale -- I was planning to take a break from buying new mechs for a bit as I've quite a few which need mastering, but a <1000MC Pirates Bane might push me to buying another couple of locusts to accompany it.
