The Clans mech are most certainly not more powerful than the IS, they just have more experienced pilots

I will exchange all IS quirks you want for your XL engines

I really dont want to, I love to kill clanners with my trash IS mechs, nothing more rewarding

Us did Mariks did what we could and we did try to put up some fights for our worlds which became a feeding ground for davion, steiner and the clans I think.

Now you know that feeling too.
Good luck holding your ground against the wolves. They will continue to conquer planets after this event, where Steiner has no real interest on attacking Marik worlds. Don't know about Liao and Davion.

This was my first real CW event, and the ghost dropping did suck, but it was a necessary evil. It is hard to ghost drop because you are really geared up for playing and then just sit around doing spreadsheets for work and watching youtube for HOURS.

Re: Clans kicking the crap out of IS. You guys do understand that PGI is trying to follow events in the timeline of the original BT universe. So right now is the Clan Invasion. Yes, they are given the upper hand. There is the tonnage debt, and currently they have new mechs in the field and a lot more people playing the new mechs. It is what is supposed to happen. this is simulating the shock of the IS having to rally to fight against the Clans and overcome rivalries.

I GUARANTEE to you that down the road when they get to the simulated years of when the IS strikes back, everything will get counterbalanced in the IS favor. Remember that in the actual BT Universe it came down to attrition. The Clanners just did not have the people and materials to maintain their massive expansion once the IS actually started to work. Especially once Steiner-Davion become the FedComs. There is a LONG way to go through the storyline here and they seem to be subtly making that storyline unfold.

I could be wrong, but it is what I see.

Why are you not shooting for today, by chance on those? It's not like it was a surprise or anything. Does it really take that long to code them?

[Ulvar]

August 4th? that would be 1 month after the end of the event. why do you start an event with rules that forces players to exploit game mechanics to achieve something when you dont even have the rewards ready to deliver? are you that short of manpower and time?

What happens if someone leaves the unit they were in after the event but before the special unit stuff (Titles, Badges and Unit Medallions) are handed out?

The messages didn't seem to include a C-bill reward/injection notice. I'm not sure if that's intended.

With regards to the special unit medallions... shouldn't units get to submit images to represent their units, or is it all "engraved" dogtags with the unit name on it?

I was expecting a simple dog tag with our unit tag ... 228 ... engraved on it.

If it's more interesting than that, I'm sure we'll hear about it.

Oh hey look another blind raging kiddo that confuses his own personel low skill with flawed game mechanics. Clan mechs are well balanced - way more than any IS mech. You`re probably not all that good at the game or happen to drop as a IS PUG with IS PUGs - so dont confuse the two things.

And in before "what would you clanner know !? OFC youre ******* defending clans!!" - I played both sides extensively. I played IS for months with the fine fellows of The Order of the Golden Skull (GS) and 228th IBR (228) ( most of them VERY good individual players) and we wrecked pretty much every clanner we ran into - now I am playing Clans and we wreck pretty much every IS player we run into - its not the mechs its the individual skill of the players you are with ( and your own skill you bring to the table) and the coordination as a unit/drop that pushes things over the edge.

"Teamwork OP PLZ nerf!"

Often times you see endcredits where one ore two players stick out - having double or tripple the damage and kills the rest of their team has - its not that their mechs are different from the rest of their team, theyre just plain better players and usually carry the rest of the team. Period. Its not the mechs its the players piloting them. I consider myself to be a rather good player - given far from the top players in this game - but even I managed to carry games ( or in small groups of 2-3 people) against whole units. It really is in the end the individual skill that decides most games.

The highest damage (given damage isnt the only indicator for the balancing of mechs ) per CW game I know of was achieved in 4x Dragon 5Ns ... think about it ....

And I really dont see where a tanky 6LL Stalker or a 4 ERLL Battlemaster with over 900m basic range, or a LPL Banshee, or a 7MPL Thunderbolt, or a mech with base 50% CD on Gauss, or AC5s or LRM 10s and 15s would be inferior to Clanmechs .... I really dont.

And yeah there are better mechs in this game and mechs that arent all that good and some that arent even playable. You need to undertsand that you have those on both sides be it Clans or IS, and you need to stay clear of them.

A huge mistake I often see made by people like you are is that they drop in weird ass mechs with even weirder loadouts and in the end they blame it on the game mechanics that they didnt wreak havoc in their
SRM4 LRM10 LBX10 Centurion ....

You're assumptions about me are wrong on every level and insulting. You said nothing that the rest of us don't already know about teamwork. You have an opinion, Yeah for you! But your inability to disagree with my opinion without putting me down shows that you like the maturity to be taken seriously.

Now all the other immature players can jump to your defense.

[caseysrevenge]

Got the wolfwarhorn,daggerwarhorn,wolf mug,dagger mug , wolf stained glas , dagger star.
Don't have gotten the MC and GXP.

And now something else, in the rules is stated when exploiting a bug in the game this is not allowed , so how do you you call ghost dropping then ???

[Ulvar]

its called attacking a planet, you can't blame players for using a planetmap.

I agree that the message delivery was poor. But the message itself nonetheless is accurate. I had limited time during the event to play, but figured I would try to at least get the 10. I tried to solo drop, since times I was on was opposite my unit's normal activity and with the holiday many were away.

Now, I am not a "low-skill" player as I am sure you are not, I am no top comp twitch shooting master, but clearing 400k in a CW drop average is about where I am normally. After 2 solo drops being matched with other solo PUGS and a single group of 3 against dedicated 8 and 9 man drops I gave up. It certainly FELT like it was hopeless against a wave of Clan invaders. One match they won 48-3, and 2 of those 3 were mine. But I also have faced the same groups in 12 mans and have seen them be beaten or at least struggle to get that victory at the last minute. And I have been there when Clan PUGs were just steamrolled.

It's not the Clans, it is teamwork and pilots who know each other and drop with each other often who just plain work together better. When I am in a 12 man drop I KNOW what the pilot to my left is going to do, I know that if the call is to flank left and catch the rear flank that he/she is going to do that with me. In PUGs even if someone makes a call, or if I do, there is no expectation that anyone will ACTUALLY do that.

Clans have advantages, they should, but IS are not some one legged gimped mech with no chance. Clans can be beaten, they are not omnipotent. I don't want to play a pre-scripted game with a known outcome based on lore, but I also hate the thought of Clans getting watered down so they are no different or better than IS.

While it may not be the answer you WANT, the fact is Teamwork is OP and there is little substitute for it on the battlefield.

Any idea when the GXP and CBills will be injected?
