See, this is better. A nice stack of grab-bag goodies for Wave III owners, and a bunch of other grab-bag goodies for everybody. I do love the grab bag events, they actually last long enough for me to care and they make things that little bit more fun. Looks like it will be robot shooting time this weekend.

Too bad about the Grand Prize thing, but frankly that just means I'm not tempted to try and break my no-CW-ever rule. Works for me.

There were Grand Prize options?

Whaaaaaa.... I wanted another free mech (that I'll probably not use and sell outright).

Come oooooooooooon Mech Bays, everything else is meaningless.

Yep, gooooo mech bays. Good thing is that this event is not a weekend event so plenty of time to catch them all.

*Sigh*

Just when I managed to take a couple months off MWO (burning premium time too... ) to try and get my life on track again, an event comes together along with the first group of Wave III mechs I preordered. And they gave me enough time to claim all the prizes so I wouldn't get burned out again. And they allowed the Wave III mechs to get plenty of time in the event...

Damn it. Once Wave III drops, I'm calling off my MWO hiatus. Goodbye life progress. Goodbye sun. Hello big stompy gundams.

Woot! I loved the last grab bag event! Looks like going outside is out of the question this weekend...

Great PGI Thanks for PRESENTS

[Twilight Fenrir]

Awesome! I love these random prize events! And it runs so long! I'll get to score some of those matches with my Eb Jag and Koala n.n

Thanks PGI!

When I click cool down to redeem I get "The event time has elapsed. You can no longer redeem" even though the event just started Guess my 32 free redemptions won't work.

[odiemoncrew]

DaChump, the reason why it says that is most likely to keep people from redeeming the 32 before the start of the event.
I am sure that they will work when the event starts

Nice event that rewards package owners but yet includes everyone and all modes. Well done.

[MechWarrior3671771]

Cool! I had a lot of fun with the last event like this. Raked in a decent amount of cbills too.

1. Nice event - I do like these type of events, thank you.
2. Any chance in future of starting events like this at 0000 Friday PDT. Why you ask. Well in Australia we are 17 hours in front, so when you start something on Friday at 10am, PDT you start it on Saturday at 3AM in Australia - EG we miss out on Friday night.

Now if you started the event at Midnight Friday PTD it would start at 5PM Australian time on FRIDAY (7PM New Zealand). Thus giving us Friday night to participate - which is one of our major nights for playing games.

Also the extra 10 hours earlier you give the Americans is whilst most of them are asleep - so really you are not providing much of a benefit to the USA guys. I and I am sure every other person in Australia / new Zealand / asia would love it if you could consider this for future.

To me it sounds like those 32 will not be in addition to the 100 total. But that can be cool too say I dont have time to do 20 CW matches I could use 20 of those free ones in the CW matches. Hopefully we can get some clarification on this.

I am a Wave3 owner and for me it looks like these 32 free ones are in addition to the 100 !

It would be nice to get an earlier start. I usually get chance to play on Friday daytimes, but the events don't start until 6 in the evening by which time I'm too busy again for the rest of the weekend.
