STARTS: Tuesday June 30th at 2:45 PM PDT (9:45 PM UTC)
ENDS: Monday July 6th at 2:15 PM PDT (9:15 PM UTC)
2:15 PM PDT / 9:15 PM UTC is the deadline for starting the final qualifying Community Warfare matches.
Matches must end by 2:45 PM PDT in order to qualify.


After a show of renewed defiance from the Inner Sphere forces in the wake of their loss to the Clan invaders at the Battle of Tukayyid, the Clans are once again striking deep into the heart of the Inner Sphere. While Clan Wolf fights to retain its new-found control over Rigil Kentarus at the doorstep of Terra itself, the forces of Clan Jade Falcon are not far behind.

The time has come for the Inner Sphere to rally together; all hope for victory lies in unity. Can the Inner Sphere take back its lost territory, or will the seemingly relentless push of the Clan invasion continue on, ever-stronger?

Whatever the result, there are boons to be had in the struggle. When this Event comes to a close, the top-ranked Inner Sphere and Clan Units will have the honor of receiving Hanging Cockpit Tags stamped with their unique Unit tag.

The fighting will be fierce and there will be many casualties, so if you're already in a Unit round up some lone wolves or fortune-seeking Mercs to reinforce your ranks.
If you normally fight alone, now is the time to forge alliances. Head over to the Inner Sphere or Clan sub-forum for the Faction of your choice to join one of the many Units.

Load-up your old war dogs and fire up your Fusion reactors; it's going to be a blood bath.

Welcome to the Community Warfare Hardcore Unit Challenge, MechWarriors.

    If you want to make this interesting the relevance for rewards (in my opinion) should be:

    1st: Individual House and Clan leaderboards
    2nd: Clan and House leaderboard
    3rd: General leaderboard

    It looks like the rewards section is blank right now. I'll be interested to see if this becomes the first unit-based event with a good payout.

    Can we get some info about Unit / Planetary Conquest rewards? Like Another Hula girl or MC, Mech Bays a few C-bills...

    Plus i was expecting little more ranks for personal challenge...like during Battle of Tukayyid. Another Hula girl? Seriously?

    Yeah, I hope the rewards are impressive for the top units. The personal challenge reward is pretty meh. I already have an entire harem of hula girls.

    Ok, I'm not sure this is going to work out too well. Where's the incentive to defend? You've set it up so that there will be very motivated 12-mans attacking planets for the planetary rewards, but the lackluster personal rewards will make it difficult to try to get people to bother to defend especially when the odds are they may get stomped without even hitting 80 points. A better personal reward structure would get defenders in the queue just for the faster queue times. As is, I foresee a lot of attack queues and ghost drops for this event.

    This event is completely garbage PGI. Clan Wolf just made it to Terra which is the perfect time to make an awesome event for control of Terra, which we can't even attack for some reason. And instead we get this event with top leaders getting less c-bills than they get fro winning 1 CW game. Some alright cosmic items and one custom item. No one not in an established unit will have a chance.

    Thank you for details. However it completely killed the thrill in me. From previous announcement it seems to be like another Battle for Tukayyik. I was expecting a lot of challenge reward ranks especially for personal challenge (and partly for unit challenge...)

    Like earning personally 10,20,30,40,....100 points. Challenge reward ranks for 100,200,300,...1000 points made by unit. And mostly rewards. I have tons of mugs, hula girls..i can accept warhorns. But 250,000 c-bills for first place? I get clean 500k gain (after paying consumables..) per game. I can understand, that you need to balance solo vs units vs pro units rewards so nobody will scream too loud but there is basically no challenge at all. At least for me. Hell I have Marik flag for the best House unit yet I never use it.....

    Next time make it like my lower idea....

    Personal challenge:
    10 points- Hula girl
    20 points- 1000 GPX
    30 points- 150 MC
    40 points- 1,5 Mil c-bills
    50 points- 2500 GXP
    60 points- 300 MC
    70 points- 3 Mil c-bills
    80 points- At least Locust/Kit fox :D
    90 points- 5000 GXP
    100points- 5 Mil c-bills

    Unit challenge (reward for any player of unit with 10+ points scored during event):
    100 points - Warhorn
    200 points - Consumable pack
    300 points - Mech Bay
    400 points - 2 Mil c-bills
    600 points - Bigger Consumable pack
    800 points - unlock one color or just another mech bay..
    1000points - 4 Mil c-bills
    1200points - another Locust :D
    1600points - A lot Bigger Consumable pack
    2000points - I don´t know...camo,color,warhorn...

    All Leaderboarch challenge:
    Now here you can have all your tags, titles, badges whatever.....

    Now this could lure in casual players, keep players in game for 6 days and give them SOMETHING in return. GG close PGI. :P

    You know what would make this event actually Hardcore? If Units actually competed against each other using In-Game stats:

    Which Unit finished a CW Match the fastest?
    Which Unit has the best average time killing all 48 mechs?
    Single highest damage in a drop?
    Highest average damage?
    Most efficient drop?

    And more. That way we can figure out how the units differs from each other in that kind of way. Just my two cents.

    Garbage is not the right word nor is it proper to so judge someones effort to make the game interesting. Cheap on the otherhand describes the prizes very well and doesn't step on the developers toes (just the top guys holding the purse strings)

    Not much incentive for the less established units. Will be a tough sell convincing others in mine to commit towards this.

    The BerSerKer would like to invite every Founder without a unit to join us for the event. More than 120 Founders are ready to help you get your points for the challenges. If you are Lone Wolfs you can join us right away, if you have a contract you need to break it now and can join us after 72 hours.

    We wish everyone a lot of fun during the event and see you on the battlefield, MechWarriors!
