Didn't see any threads about this, so here goes. We've received our banners from the Battle of Tukayyid 1.0 and here are some screenshots.



Here's the "DEFEAT" banner. I really like it, I think it looks better than the victory-banner. I'm going to put it in my LCT-1V(P) cockpit, because I can't see anything out of that mech anyway (custom geometry ftw) and I find it oddly appropriate to have the word "DEFEAT" staring at me as I'm playing my Locust.



The Most Valuable Faction banner and the Battle of Tukayyid [1.0] banner. I'm not in a unit, so someone will have to share a screenshot of the most valuable unit banner

So is it 6.6.3052 now? Nobody knows. Probably not. We were just beta-testing an event which will take place in 3052, if and when PGI ever returns to having a timeline. Which means... our pilots are walking around with trophies from future battles. Dat immersion tho.



VICTORY banner. Looks good at Very High graphics setting. Don't ask about Low or Medium graphics. You really don't want to know.

Hopefully, PGI will publish some news about the Aftermath soon enough. This was one of their biggest events and there's no news about it on the front page. Nothing about who won, what the score was, etc. My pro tip would be to get stuff like that ready before or during the event, and then just fill in the numbers and post the news article when the event is over. But I guess they still have some time left before the Friday is over in Canada, so hopefully we'll get some news about it later today

They all look dreadful to me.
Don't expect me to use any of them ever.

Well, allow me to clarify. The texture on the Victory banner has good quality at Very High graphics setting. I didn't mean to say it looks good in the sense of being a cool cockpit item. The actual design for these banners is bad. But I didn't want to start another negative thread, only to be told "Those banners were a free gift, you ungrateful, entitled son of a..."

But having a torn banner that says DEFEAT is pretty cool and ironic, which works well for my Locust. I'm using that one, but not using any of the others. The MVF banners in particular are pretty underwhelming. I only had 5 points for both my Clan and IS account, and if I could go back in time and tell myself not to play any CW matches with my Clan account at all, I would.

On a positive note, while I'm not going to play CW for a long time, I still enjoy pugging in the pub queue every now and then

The MVF-1 Banner is disappointment. You peer at it and you don't know if the "Most Valuable Faction" was Clan Wolf, Ghost Bear, Smoke Jaguar or Jade Falcon. It would be logical to pronounce the Clan Wolf insignia in gold.

Maybe one of these days they'll remove all of the "Auto Detect: NO!" screens so people can place more cockpit flair, or at least give more visibility.

2nd in Kurita looks kinda poopy, although I'm using medium textures, so it is what it is.

That clans, being they were the only ones who got to actually play attack, had the option to rush and kill the big gun for wins.
