So essentially PGI is telling me that because I didn't give them $30-500 in cash, I can't take part in higher tiers of the challenge and I will forever have ten red "X" in my profile, even though I think I am sufficiently skilled player (http://mwomercs.com/...-completed-but/).

**** you PGI.

This is news to you?

Where were you during the Founder and Phoenix events?

It would seem to me that complaining about red X's next to the challenges is probably the least important thing to complain about. Secondly, the rewards available for the general challenge are much better than what was available for the Founders Phoenix events.

Where do you see those better rewards ?

9 CW matches is 4,5 wasted hours where you can enjoy being roflstomped by dedicated 12 man strong teams that camp your spawn point to get 2 milions cbills - considering how crappy cbills payment is for losT CW match you are much better to play those 4,5 hours normally
12 CW matches is 6 hours wasted to get 300 MC which is equivalent of 1,5$.

Awesome move PGI - nerf the hell out of the clans and then call them to arms.

If you didn't catch it yet. It's how they're going to test how the nerfs actually affect the game in application (vs. theorizing it on paper)

Enjoy your wait times.

[Sassafras]

Yeah, maybe "much better" is bit of an overstatement, but I would say that 3 days of Premium Time for 3 CW matches is pretty decent, which I prefer compared to the consumables pack.

i do like that there is a CW event. im just entertained as all crap that it comes for the clan one but both inner sphere ones as pug based. seems a bit odd to me. since according to the numbers the inner sphere had the most people, think they would want to cater to the most people.well yet more nice incentives to go clan i guess

This means that any IS player that doesn't wish to have 10 more red X in your Challenge page, are forced to leave their unit and join the clans. While this is not a problem for Merc units (they do this all the time), loyalists get themselves into a problem. How hard is that for you to understand?

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

...stepping on the soapbox

The game is free to play.

Paying customers will get more than non-playing customers. (Otherwise why would anyone care to pay.)

When people put money into the game it keeps it alive and growing. Which is good for the free and the paying customers.
No money = no game = no stompy robots =
Perks and extras = money = game =


So don't complain about the fact that paying customers are getting some perk or color or whatever that you are not. These little extras and perks are part of what keeps the game going. If you want an extra...pay for it...and by doing that help support this game that you are playing. If you don't put money in, then enjoy the game anyway, but please don't complain about not getting stuff for free that others are paying for.



Now on the paying side of things...

If PGI wants to give a slight bit more stuff in this event to the guys that shelled out $300 - $500 - or more for the Wave 1, 2, and gold mechs...then that seems fair.
If some dude came and put a million dollars into the game and got to compete in every event, got every cockpit item and mech and weapon and perk for the rest of his life. I wouldn't care. Thumbs up dude...you're paying for the game I'm playing, and helping the game to grow. All the power to ya.


...stepping off the soapbox

[LastKhan]

A clan CW event to try to get clans going again of course. Meh, no thanks. Cw is so bland to me.

And if you are in a new faction or have never done CW before, then those 3 matches that earn over 80 pts should net you a free Mechbay as well.

Ahh you are correct I haven't noticed 3 days premium - that might be worth a bit of CW pain.

Just boycott event and than maybe PGI will fix clantech and those quirks\nerfs BS.

Balancing broken mechanic by "rewards" and "oneside events" is a bad idea.

[Shaix]

So if we have less than three days on an IS contract, how can we switch to a Clan contract for this event?

[Jack Spade Ward]

Dont count on me... CW is dead for me!!! Unnerf clans and then PGI will see a rise up on clanners again

And it was ok for the past two events to be Founder and Phoenix members only...guess what mechs those are.


You got some bass ackwards ideas of fairness....

PGI is waving cooldowns, they are supposedly resetting all Contracts shorter then 3 days at 2:45 pm Pacific time.

Actually since it didnt exclude people who were clan at the time, ya it was darth.
i am a full wave one buyer yet because i am in inner sphere player, that basicly means nothing. but if i had been clan during the last two event, i could have used my founder and Phoenix mechs and not be penalized. that is the difference

Actually, they can fight simply again each other... They need only to the "Clan Invasion Planetary Takeover Challenge" an IS Planet/enemy... The text of the other two (Invasion and Personal) Challenges say nothing from IS... Just the need of the 80 Match Score in a CW match...

[Big Tin Man]

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