Aren't the servers coming down any second? Contract is still on cooldown...

I restarted game at 2:58 or so and no system message. I'm in the mechlab but get a 'failed to find match'.

Tried a second relog and now I can't log in so must be resetting now.

My opinion is there's no clan's in CW because clan are sick and tired of the quirk imbalance and constant nerfs from IS crybabies

^ This attitude I just don't understand.

Clan QQing got the ERPPC Thud nerfed, the MPL Thud nerfed, the Stalker 4N nerfed, the Raven 2X nerfed. Clans won Tukayyid convincingly. My Clan Storm Crows and Timberwolves have superior stats to all my other Mechs, except my IS Firestarters. My UAC Timberwolf has a k/d of 2 and has average 405 damage per match over 95 matches.

Yet, when the Storm Crows and Timberwolves get nerfs to one weapon type, at the same time IS variants get quirk nerfs, Clanners throw their toys out of their vats, boycott CW and start posting about "IS crybabies"...?

Really, guys. How about we just man up, use different loadouts, and get on with winning.

Hmm... we quit our contract last night. Still not allowed to pick up our Wolf contract. What gives?

Next week, there'll be a new event, and maybe those people will get something. I would normally agree, but this is week 3 of the weekly event gig, each time it has catered to some group of players while giving everybody the opportunity to participate in a 'general' challenge. I expect next week will probably be a resistance package event. To be honest, of all the relatively horrible choices PGI seems prone to making as of recent, I like their weekly event things.

Except most of those were simply bonuses for folks who paid for content. This one actively punishes folks who made an in game choice. If they let the IS do something similar next time, folks who do swap factions regularly can take advantage of that too.

It just seems punitive to run an event that only benefits one side when some people can change sides easier than others.

Important Update: At 2:45 PM PDT tomorrow we are going to automatically zero-out any Contracts that have less than 3 days remaining in their duration.

This means that if you break your current Contract before 2:45 PM PDT tomorrow, your Cooldown period will be automatically removed to allow for the signing of a new Contract with the Clan of your choice.

This also means that if your Contract is naturally set to expire in less than 3 days, it will also be cleared.

My contract is only 1 hour left and was not nullified!!! - was the server shutdown not successful???

[Aylek]

Collected 60 milion CBills throughout the unit. Broke the contract at 2:20 pm PDT. And now aren't able to choose a new contract... WHAT THE HELL?

[Kyynele]

Contract still showing 2d 13h 25min. Fix please.

[BruteForceLeader]

Yeah, contract still in cooldown...
will we get the cooldown reset anytime soon?
how will the challanges count matchs with IS before reset?

[ClaymoreReIIik]

Contract reset did not work, please fix.

[guy0320]

Contract reset failed. PGI please respond.

Regarding the Invasion Challenge, keep in mind that you can earn up to 4 points per-match if you run a Drop Deck with 4 eligible 'Mechs.


The Invasion Challenge is still applicable in these cases. The Planetary Takeover is the only one that requires Clan alignment.
Unless you break contract, the Personal Challenge will be the only one out of the three that you'll be eligible for.

Our unit broke its contract. Your cooldown reset didn't work. We can't participate until Sunday.

[Kyynele]

If unable to fix quick, please give some estimation as to how long this will take. We have a small group waiting to get a few matches before going to sleep. It's past 1 AM already, so if this is going to take hours, it would be nice to know so we could just do something else. Like go to sleep. Thank you.

Giving an extra perk to someone who dumped a bunch of money into the game? That's a good thing. Founders got their event last week, Phoenix another week, Resistance soon. It's not like those who 'have not' aren't getting anything this weekend. They're just not getting the extra goodies. And the extra goodies aren't gamebreaking. They're some extra MC, Cbills, cockpit do-dads... If they were giving out gold-tipped ammo or something like that, then that's something different. Then again, if they gave out gold-tipped ammo, I'd quit this game and find one where everyone was on a level playing field!

You are whining about having a red X on your challenge page. I prefer playing CW, but the last 2 events required me to drop in Public Queue. Maybe I should cry a river on the forums because I got some red X on my challenge page. Grow up

Don't cherry pick the issue for your argument, please. That is one consequence, not the main issue. I condemn this kind of action as much as I hate non-CW events only as they tend to suck CW population dry for 2-4 days. I am just criticizing the whole incentive system that, for the matter, happen to hit another softspot that needs care: loyalist life vs merc life - do not miss interpret that.

Brother MEX, on 22 May 2015 - 08:11 AM, said:

Actually its more like 12,5

You overlooked that you can take up to 4 (i) Mechs into any CW mission, so you only need at least 13 CW missions with more than 80 matchscore, which should be possible in less than 7 hours ... unless you are fresh from the SIBKO

I only have one.

[PFC Carsten]

Awesome - 1-Minute downtime in the middle of a match? WTF?

1st waiting for a game for half an hour, then a micro-downtime serverside and now the match, the effort and the waiting time are all gone. This is how you motivate people to give CW another chance.

...eh, it could be worse, it could be 1 minute downtime 30 minutes into the event! (which just happened)

[ExoForce]

Server cannot handle so many players?

So...anyone else seeing a locked star map?
