Good event, nice prizes, exactly what I needed while in the middle of a grind to save for a set of new mechs.

PGI is getting the events right, now I just wish the community would...If only everyone understood the meaning of "personal challenge", and that 30 pts are very attainable through normal gameplay.

Instead it's the "Friendly Fire Free-for-All!" out there...everyone running into each other and the enemy in a headlong rush to get their 30 pts, allied mechs be damned. Was like watching a switch get flipped when the event kicked on: normal matches>apeshit matches..

Hopefully it wears off as the "newness" of the event wears.

So again you are shafting the oceanic players by not allowing us to win a flag? I'm seeing a constant trend here guys please make this available to us as well.

You can get all the other items by playing on NA or European servers... when Singapore goes live I'm sure they'll do something similar for you backwards rotating drain countries. No need to panic

Looks like it'll be a pretty interesting weekend.

Lucky we have a full week to get all the rewards in and not a weekend

Makes the epic rewards much more achievable...

True enough. However I think a LOT of the gameplay time for most people will be happening over the weekend. I actually expect the servers to be quite busy.

Hopefully!

The NA drops will be best.. ..ping this end settled to 230, but for EU server its like 340, that's going to be a pain. Time to ditch the SRM's for streaks on a few mechs..

Ohh I see that the Flag choice is crap.....yep I really want a stupid America's flag. Glad to know PGI is about equality of gaming nations.

260 ping range to NA
400 ping range to Euro

Hmm...

That's weird mate.

I am in Alice Springs, and I get 260 on average to US, and have been getting 360 average to Europe.

You should be better off.

Stop to kill CW with these events. It is also almost dead.

Do matches in both the Solo Queue and the Group Queue count?

Unfortunately we don't have a Welsh flag in the game just yet. Hoping to add another wave of Flags in the future though!

I'd be interested in SMALLER flags that don't take up half the view. Maybe ribbons with symbols instead, like a green ribbon with a harp for Ireland or a red/white/black ribbon with an iron cross for germany and a blue and white flur-de-le (or however you say it for the French! Old/Imperial symbols and flags are so much cooler. Who wants a Mexican flag that looks like an Italian flag that looks like an Irish flag? BORING.

[NeoCodex]

It's a great event, but you still didn't add the Slovenian flag for the EU. It's like we don't exist. In every game they just add Slovakian flag because it looks similiar and think we will be happy. NO. You do have some loyal players and customers from Slovenia, and if you're adding flags to the game you should not be discriminating. We are part of European Union, it's not that hard to check up.

Oh man - so many Challenges with 0% in my profile...

[Kodyn]

I gotta find it amusing that every player seems to want their country represented, no matter how small a percent of the game populace they make up, yet I'm American, and it's probably the flag I want least...

People in other countries actually like their countries? What's that like?

[Peiper]

Could we get these flags as well?

It's not about liking your country as much as the fact that there's so little of us it means a big thing feeling represented anywhere. And being part of such a small and insignificant country, it feels very underwhelming and dissapointing being (yet again) ignored even in a silly thing like cockpit country flags while other slightly larger insignificant countries that are very similiar to yours are being represented. So why didn't we get a flag?

Yes, we have a problem with that, and the only thing worse instead of not being represented is being mistaken (even in sports, like olympics it's really shameful that this can still happen) for a different country, and then they take the credit, while the world still doesn't know that you exist and your achievements matter.

Being able to pick almost any of the EU flags but not yours is a legit reason to be upset. It could have at least been there so people know we exist, even if nobody would pick it, but I know of several Slovenian players that do play the game. So being offered to pick something else or even a country that everyone is mixing us up for adds even more salt to the wound.

I was more making a comment on patriotism in the US and how silly it's become, than anything else.

I do get your standpoint though.
