People are really missing the point of what an EVENT is. This is not for suggesting game mode, mechanics, or feature changes.

While Stock mode may be fun, Clan mechs will walk ALL OVER the IS mechs. Not to mention, do you REALLY want to create another queue for a game that is already short on players?

[AureliusDean]

My event suggestion is just more colours and maybe random decals in the rewards. I love seeing what our crazy community comes up with when they are doing their own camo. If I see one more green Annihilator I may die laughing.....

"Man, you are really blending in! Well played, sir!" :-)

A Mech Bundle sale and event using mechs from the in game bundles.

It's not really an event but how about allowing MC purchase of already released mech bundles? Or the once a mech pack goes on sae in game for MC allowing for a limited time to purchase the standard pack for MC.

How about adding some mechs to the in game mech bundles? This could lead to an event revolving around the mechs added.

I would love to see an event with paint colors as a reward, as someone else mentioned above. I'm not saying make it easy to get those rewards, but make it possible. Maybe even just give away a color or two for completing all the challenges in a normal event if you don't want to have a color-dedicated event?

I know personally I'd like to see more unique camos, colors, or even comedic details while playing. I realize colors bring in profits, but they're pretty pricey for a cosmetic just-for-fun detail that also enhances the game aesthetics for other players.

Just my two cents

Some event to encourage use of Light and Medium 'Mechs would be nice. As it stands, my ENF is being kicked around like a soccer ball amid fields of Heavies and Assaults.

Ditto for Faction Play - it's nigh impossible to get a match going - some BattleTech story based event to promote a particular battle would be nice for participation.

Although I only own two of them, I would love to see an Event revolving around the concept titled "Urbanmech Madness Weekend".

Urbanmech pilots would potentially flock to the scene and practice their own brand of mayhem, and it could be an interesting catalyst to introduce the Urbanmech to a lot of new folks who were curious about MW5 first, but don't have much experience playing MWO. And of course, a few of the objectives/conditions could be written for rewarding how many Urbies are killed, KMDD'd, components lost, etc.

Why this can't/won't happen: it isolates those that only play Clan tech, and, of course, it actually isolates new folks, as the Urbie isn't on the list of trial mechs. (Has it ever been? I doubt it.)

If only the Urbanmech IIC were already developed and released... then, Clan folks could have that same kind of insane fun.

Okay, I got that off of my chest.

[Lamblaska]

Not sure if someone still reads this topic. But I hope it does.

MWO was one of the most fantastic team building experiences and getting to know people from all over the world. I remember the faction hubs (such was the Steiner House hub teamspeak) where we were able to gather up and form units. I had come to know people in this past almost 10 years that were not only teammates. But become friends. we came to see them not only for their playing skills and cheerfulness. But also from their life struggles, dramas and successes.

We saw the first mechs coming along. We shook as the clanners arrived and melted down everything on their path (sometime including themselves ocasionally). We saw Community Warfare born, expands. The map being conquered over and over. We fought on Tukayd. We were there when this happened times over and over. CW became Faction Play. Dozens of mechs become hundreds, than Thousands. We watch Solaris being born. We followed as spotlights were changed, Black Knights with laser vomits, Gauss and ppcs, SRM boats. SSRMS boats, dakkas.

My idea of event is not one of rewards. It's also not a bold ideia of a rule change. It's about being able to remember and relive some of those glorious moments. It's picking a weekend every month and access certain memorable state of the game as it was. Like a vanilla experience.

I'm actually not sure if it is viable. But sure it would be fun.

Hi maybe you can do a event for the free mech useing faction play to try and spark up faction play.

Yes. Some FP-based events would be good and really appreciated!

[John Fisherman]

Seriously, politics here? "Thanks" for event.

Good move. What's next? Will there be a Russian flag? Now people are dying. Many are on edge. They come here to relax. I explain to my comrades that it is not necessary to glue white Zs on mech's. There is no need to stir up conflict in the minds even more. And you are hosting a great event! What's next? Russian hunting?

[Lieutenant Dude]

The April Fool's Weekend Event has a problem. We're supposed to complete an objective by winning Conquest with Capture Points and not kills. I've done that three times, and never got the event reward. Other people are saying winning Assault by capturing the base gives them the event reward. Can you fix whatever is wrong with this? It's frustrating enough already with griefing ******** killing the last enemy at the last second on purpose to deny us the event reward.

[JPeiper]

More heavy/assault only events please, great fun playing the last ones but the event did'nt go on long enough.
We could do all the tactical stuff /flanking and do the things that mechwarrior is about that you can't in higher tier quickplay due to the op lights. I don't know if it's possible but a constant rolling 20 min light/med and separate heavy/asault event would be good- so the heavy mob can have a good thinking game and the lights can play x wing at light speed.
Events could save this game but only if they are available and players know when they are running (pref all the time ) -you don't run a store by opening at odd hours and only when you feel like it , people will go and spend time and cash elsewhere, come on Pir, stop the cauldren tinkering ,sort the inbalance above and players may come back. (And no, I'm not spending a penny until I can have a fun game without being circle strafed to bits in 20 seconds)

[Cmdr Chad J Battletech]

Whomever is managing the event que is doing a trash job. Why do groups?? And wtf is up with the uribie derby ****?? Where is the fun stuff Matt used to do?

[Urrza]

Trick or Treat 2022 event have prize description error.
50 and 100 loot bags gives to us "color phranken black" and "color phranken red", but in description and choosing box written "pattern".

[Storky]

Suggestion: long range solaris event.

On some open map with few obstacles like old Polar Highlands must be placed impassable wall or fault 500 meters wide.

And mechs with long range weapons like ac2, ERLL, LRM, Gauss must fight over it.

ECM item must be forbidden in this match.

There also must be a completely open area with a destroyable objective. If one will tear the distance and camp, the second can start to hit the objective luring the camper to engage.

[Storky]

Suggestion: smash the smaller
Achieve points for damage , KMDD, Solo kills and kills against the smaller weight class mechs:
Assults > Heavies
Heavies > Meds
Meds > Lights
Lights > Assaults
Suggestion: tear the bigger
Achieve points for damage , KMDD, Solo kills and kills against the heavier weight class mechs: (inverted from above)

[Storky]

Suggestion: twist and shot

There are mechs designed for certain build.

Lets pick AC20/Snumbs + SRMS combination, where you shot then cover with your shoulder. There are particular models designed for such builds: AS7-D-DC, AS7-S, KDK-S and so on.
Generally it is a humanoid mechs with big tanking shoulders, proper hardpoints in torso. Hence Annihilator and Orion don't fit because of small shoulders, Stalker and KingCrab are not humanoid, Roughneck and Blood Asp has torsos exposed under shoulders. Likely main weapons should not be placed in arms (Victor, Zeus), its a bit another tactic.

The main work is to pick proper mech variants, then it shoul'd be easy to hook the event benefits and sales on these mechs.

The main fun is to enjoy the domination of such twisting brawling builds in the quick match.

[KursedVixen]

Infinite jump jet's + infinite masc event.


The crazy one day no heat event


the absolutely crazy MWo Birthday party event where all guns shoot streamers or whatever those bits of paper are called. also baloons! shoot the baloons!



Laser tag event: All weapons do 0 damage but you can be tagged out by being hit by enough weapons 'fire'


Laser tag even variant 2:Tag lasers replace all weapons with same mechanics of the first.

infinite ammo event

Underwater event;Maps are all flooded game play works as normal but heat works as if you were totally submerged in water.

[BLACKR0SE]

water would be nice.

[myhorseisamaz1ng]

wtf?
