Looks like the Clans got all the credit for wins when the server crashed.

[Mercarryn]

OMG. The MWO Universe collapsed, because the Clans broke the lore time line by conquering Tukayyid! The end is near!!!

[Tom Sawyer]

All those derp rushes

[April Showers]

i blame comstar, they fired all the HPGs at once, made an imploding Kearny-Fuchida Field around Tukkyashirt and teleported it to Neverwinter.

oh, btw... still no lobby.


just did the math. another challenge you cant win. unless you spend all weekend sniffing red bull and drinking happy pills.

Yup wasted 15 mins into a match and got disconnected from the game server. Can't rejoin and 4 mechs are now locked. Thanks for the great event. It's bad enough for normal PUG games but wish they focused on fixing bugs instead of trying to add more content. It's great to have shiny mechs and new CW maps but what's the point when you can't enjoy them and you waste half your "game" time waiting in queue. Doesn't make for a fun product.

EDIT: Also before you get defensive PGI and state: Oh it's your PC, your ISP, etc, I can safely assure you that I've never gotten dc'ed as much as this game and I've gotten a lot more hours logged on other games. I've gotten dc'ed from MWO at least 5x as much as the next game with about 1/5-1/10 hours in if I were to guess.

Nah it's everyone, literally everyone as far I know. Haven't heard of a single person that hasn't been booted out and can't get into the queues. At least we all feel your pain.

[Twilight Fenrir]

I can't even click on Tukkyid o.o

[Kelenas]

Yea, I got booted from the normal match I was in leveling my new grid iron lol.

Server back up.

[Ace Selin]

PGI needs to give everyone all rewards tomorrow and then return CW back to normal so people can actually play.

This event is fckn stoopid and PGI made it worse by extending the faction change timer from 1 to 3 days.

Tone down your entitlement just a little bit. Ok? All these stuff are given for free, you know?

Not sure if it has been bought up here yet, but what would happen if you played well and only used 2 or 3 of the four mechs and end up with a match score of 73 or 75 for example.

Last CW tournament this is what happened to me. I'm an average player, however was part of a good team. I did my bit and ended up short on points.

What about a bonus for not using a mech or two.

I may not drop as often as other people due to real life, and being short on match points may prove somewhat frustrating.

Just my ten cents worth...

I'll be in doing what I can.

Cheers

This event really made me realize how sadistic PGI is. To get to the "best" prize you need 40 matches of 80 points. Sounds great if you've never played the game as a player. Oh 40 is reasonable.

But add in the queue times, game server crashes, client disconnects, and the actual game time, you are talking about over 40 hours of your life or so playing on the IS side, perhaps about 25 hours playing on the clan side, as of a few minutes ago based on wait queues. And you have to do that within 3-4 days. So basically 10 hour work days to get what translates into $18 on sale.

Yes it's electronically free and you are "playing" a game but if you are spending more than half your time waiting, I don't think that is considered fun or playing *****.

I had planned on playing this game this weekend to enjoy the event, but the long wait times, server crashes and other general unstable aspects of this game makes me rethink that decision as not entirely logical nor fun.

To all you other mech warriors, enjoy the event and weekend. May your aim be true, your armor hold fast and the game server become stable.

Was in House Kurita playing a CW match, it crashed then it put me in House Davion after reboot as a permanent (had a 1 week Kurita contract going atm). Broke contract thinking it was free due to the weekend... charged me 1,150,000 and 72 hr timer, hope gets fixed or my weekend is pooched...

Few sec ago saw: 1 grp in attack queue and 50 - in defence. Thats called "balance" ! Great - where its needed (like mech-weapon stats) PGI ignore canons but here they did follow it - at last canon fans should be happy - IS overhelm clans by numbers of /bad/ pilots

P.S. Extention is a great thing but still - as some1 above calculated we need 25h of playtime while overall time going to be over 50h... or, if nothing will be chan ged, over 100h...

P.P.S. PGI stop this! Right now! We will understand it - stop it right now and start it few weeks after, when you will be technicaly ready for such amount of players!... Its not bad to say "no, we cant do this" if you can add "we cant do this now but we will be able to doo it some time after - just to get prepared!".


UPD.
40 min in queue - im still 40 as PUG. Maybe for groups its better?...

well, afaik the match maker will prioritise groups over pugs and if a 12 man is in the queue it will get pushed ahead of pugs ..... so given the disparity in players on either side it might be possible that solo pug drop is impossible on IS side, you would need to use the LFG feature to get into a 12 man team first.

The clans were winning too much so they crashed the server to give IS a break

Is THAT why they switched me to Jag too? Is Wolf doing SO well, they need ME to try to give them a helping hand?
