How has it been getting matches for different game modes?
In the following 3 similar events; Summer Heat, Lucky Charms, Christmas; each time, I noticed I finished Assault and Skirmish before Conquest. I always wind up at the end having nothing but Conquest checked to finish this type of event off. I wonder if this means Conquest is designed to show up less than the others.

I don't think it's DESIGNED that way... I think people tend to play conquest less. Fewer people = fewer chances for matches. While people like to play assault, so that one usually gets finished first.

Thanks for all the free stuff!

I have to say though, I don't really understand the point of the "Unlucky" heat sinks. I mean, it kind of makes sense, as a joke, for the Christmas and Halloween events. Trick or treat, lump of coal, all that. But I don't feel like it makes any sense for an event like this. Might as well just give people 5000 C-bills or whatever.

Or people are skewing the MM by unticking 'Conquest' when they search for game.
But this can be understood... PUGs team fail is more apparent in Conquest as people tend to have no idea what they should be doing.. Eg. Heavies or Assaults going off alone to cap.. Screaming how bad their team is when they happen to be the last one alive at 100%.

Edit: I unticked Conquest when I was grinding up my Panty 10P... Can't in that thing.. Ain't no Puugin..
Returned back to all game mode now that I grinding the Enforcer 4P... That AC20 ain't afraid of Noooo Body !

It is a consumable module. You can use it to flush your coolant in a match. They normally run you 40K Cbills.

Did you click the appropriate game mode tab? The X/20 is only for redeemed items, not for pending, and if you do not go to the right game mode tab (Skirmish, Conquest, or Assault... or CW I guess) then you won't see them.


After getting 20/20 for everything non-CW, plus the Executioner pack 32 (92 redemptions):
7,462,500 C-Bills
5,800 GXP
605 MC
49x Other Stuff (2 Fans, 1 Pop, 1 Hula Girl)

Loving this event and the prizes when I can get on to play. Great Events like these keep me playing. :wub:



Would be awesome if somehow some way they could incorporate the rewards system, ( like the one we have now for this event) in the CW Galaxy Play ONLY. Example you play CW invasion Kill mechs and a get a good random chance for Salvage just like in this event but every game in CW modes ONLY!!!,.... Sorry Pug QUE!,.. but this would give NEW LIFE TO Community Warfare. Since the Clans Have NO need for IS salvage...give the other rewards, C-Bills, GXP, XP, Loyalty points. Unless Salvage gained from killing rival Clan mechs :rolleyes:

Even Better yet!!,.. If while in CW you kill a mech from your NEMESIS ( FACTION that you select as ARCH enemy... that you can change anytime! Example: Clan Wolf kills a Jade Falcon mech during thier war ) you get double rewarded in Salvage , Loyalty points and C-bills. SUPER POWER UP WARFARE!

Free Ideas get them while they last.

"Summer Heat" thus Heat Sinks.

15MC Coolant Pod, works like the 40K CB one once you unlock skills to make it 9x9.

Winter and its meant to rain all weekend, great timing!

Come oooooooooooon Mech Bays, everything else is meaningless.



Yep its winter Downunder. We need more stuff to keep the heat going here - hint hint... (more like throw brick brick ---> WE NEED MECHBAYS)

132 shots at this and you may not even get 1 single Mech Bay....

Would be good to have a Mechbay Sale - then people can sink some of those MCs and it would lower the hurdle for buying Mechs for the next events

Finished the Pugging portion of this event. Ended with with the following:
3,025,000 CBILLS
2,900 GXP
315 MC
2x Improved Coolant Pad
1x Improved UAV
2x Priority Air Strike
3x Priority Artillery Strike
2x 1 Day Active Premium Time
1x Cockpit Item: Pop
1x Single Heat Sink

I would say all in all an underwhelming grab bag for me. But free is free and it was fun to do. The premium time helped me elite my Mad Dogs.
But no Mech Bayz.... boo hoo.

Now I'm, going to contemplate whether I wanna spend a decade in CW to get some items. 40*30 mins to play +30mins to find match = 2400 mins = 40 hrs = 5 days (8 hours).
