Was there ever a fix or explanation for the "CW matches counts as 4-mans only" bug?

[Deacon Grimm]

Did the same thing , made it all the way thru the challenge , it took me about 30 drops.

you are right , there are a lot of things that need tweaking , but I enjoyed it.

there are a lot of great mech drivers out there.

Well we certainly did find a few things for PGI to polish, which I'm sure was the whole reason behind this Challenge. Sadly I fell just short because I acted as a Community Member and helped others achieve their goals, instead of being a "me, me, me" player, kicking people out of cue to make the group size to something I needed, which I feel would have been just plain rude. Overall, way too much time was wasted getting the group sizes to work, ie, players either leaving because they didn't even bother to ask what group size you were trying to get together, or those that just would NOT ready up for whatever reasons.

Would love to see another event like this sometime, with a few aspects tweaked, as it DID bring new people together and doubled as a great recruiting tool.

On a side note, I commend this community, at least those that I encountered throughout my attempts, as I only found one person I would consider rude. That says ALOT for an Online game. Thankful our genre brings out the older and more mature players.

Congrats to all those that Achieved their Islands or 500 MC!

In just about every group I dropped with we helped people get the group size they needed.

People hopped in and out to try and make sure it happened for all , it was great to see and quite a good time.

This was a lot of fun for me, though I noticed some frustrated folks trying to get those last couple elusive drop group numbers yesterday. Got two of the last three points for the challenge pretty much by accident, just because my 7-year old happened to be pulling a naughty bender when I might have been trying to group hop to find my magic number. And the last one I dropped with my Seraphim brethren, which made for a nice conclusion to the event.

You can pick your prize here.

Would have been better to just choose it when you log in to mech but what ever. thanks firecrafter

Where would the consumable packs show up at? If I haven't unlocked them in pilot module skills, will I get them later when I do unlock the skills?

Would be better, but it doesn't mean that the code can support that kind of functionality within the game client. (sometimes its easier to do it through a web API. )

My brother had this. I sat through several matches with him and watched him get above min scores and he only got the 4 group one. :/

[Artanizzz]

Yep, it would be nice if PGI could explain the CW matches count....

I assume most ignore CW because the point/time ratio is quite bad compared to normal game modes.

given the choice of 5-10 minutes in skirmish mode to qualify or 45-60 minutes in CW to qualify (which if you get matched vs proper 12 man may not even qualify) I found it a no-brainer.

I was really looking forward to that island cockpit item but I was unable to even get one match in, weekend had other priorities. I was hoping that the item would be available for sale but I didn't see it in the store.

Maybe they'll offer it again as a prize in a future event.

The event was too easy, and should have had more challenge. I completed it in one evening (a few hours).
