PGI, thank you for extending the event! Those of us that are married, have kids, jobs, etc. cannot put in those amount of hours to be able to complete this challenge and actually enjoy the event. Again, thank you for reconsidering the time frame and keep up the good work!

[Taffer]

Wow just noticed. Yes, thank you PGI, this is a lot better.

The 50 Point tier should really be seen as an extended, edge-case reward. The ultimate goal for most players will be the 40 point tier for the Banshee/Warhawk selection.

50 points is a lot, and we're definitely mindful of that, but for every comment we tend to receive about the max tiers being too high we get another about the points not going high enough (here or through the support services). 45 and 50 were essentially added as stretch rewards to cover that.

guys why not 49?

Thank you PGI!

This isn't the first time PGI has modified an event like this, if I recall correctly. Personally, I have responsibilities that take priority and are not restricted to certain days of the week. Basically, for me the weekend is just like any other day of the week... Long story short PGI has once again recognized the error in their implementation due to player input. It's really a win win situation for them to operate this way. Good work!

Thanks for the extension. I work 6-8 hrs/day M-F, 12-15 hrs on Sat, and 8-9 hrs on Sunday. As such, I was not going to participate at all, as the only reward reasonably possible in CW was the 5-point Participation Banner. Now, with the extension, I actually have a chance to get substantially up the rewards board. I may only get to 15or 20 points, assuming I play 25 games, but that's 25 more games played in CW that I would not have otherwise played. Hardcore players need to realize that players are a needed content component.

Thanks PGI for extending the qualifying period. Nice move!

Hmm 15 mins in and defense que is up to 36 groups WAITING to drop, expect loooooong wait times, need more slots.

They need to make faction switches possible without waiting times so more teams can change to clan or else this is going to blow up badly....

[Túatha Dé Danann]

"The lobby has been destroyed" Yeah... right.

well... currently im #30 drop of 48 drops. been in there 20 min already. i dont think im gonna get to 50 matches with reward this way, approximately 20 min per match, pugging so i guess in 25% i can get a vaig 80 point result. wait times im guessing 40 mins... so thats impossible even pulling a all nighter all weak-end....

EDIT:
... why the hell have we got 48 waiting while they get 2 waiting drops too ?!

EDIT2: wait time 22min for first match. out of mechs after 10 minutes. pug vs organized. didnt get my points.. waste of time, unless you pre-make with other ppl.

Guys while all those "50 is too much" talks are fine, AS FOR ME main problem is " GET INTO A MATCH! 1 planet for.... how much players?... Can it hold few thousands of matches going same time? IF NO then even is a fail becouse it cant be technicaly done!...

P.S. Las CW challenge was nothing compared to current one! Where last one was fine current will fail coz much more players attention...

Yeah, something's gonna have to be done, need to either let some IS people join clan now without a time penalty, or else just screw the backstory and let IS vs IS go through.

[El Moosechacho]

Finally got in a group and a match after waiting in IS que forf*@%#$%ever. after about 60 secs i get booted with a little gem of an error message " Lobby was destroyed".

Well played pgi, well played indeed.

[Elbrun]

Well lets see. 20 minutes to get match started as IS. Goes to load, then crashes me to mechbay with an error message saying lobby destroyed. Now all 4 mechs in my 'dropship' queue are locked out of play. Yeah, this is going to be a wonderful weekend.

[Kelenas]

Just letting IS switch to clans won't be enough, people don't have clan mechs. They'd have to drop the mech restrictions and let people to switch to clans and take their IS mechs with them. Did not expect such lopsided numbers, even with IS pushing back clans recently.

Or maybe just auto convert a couple of factions. "House Kurita has betrayed the Inner Sphere and now fights on the side of the clans" or some such nonsense.

It gets better, constantly losing place in the queue - from slot 45 down 20, then up again to 30-something and 48. Now it's falling again

[Todeshonk]

....and back to queue place 51 ... third time in a row...

good night... have fun

[Sixzero]

I wait for 10 minutes then the lobby gets destroyed, sending be back to the back of the line of the cue, what gives PGI thats kinda broken.

[Sixzero]

AND back of the line again for cueing up....

this is BS
