I agree with that but also remember that the Clans are also deprived of their greatest advantage. Yes the tech is strong but each clan pilot was a 4 3 pilot / gunnery score while IS were 5/4s, that equated to 20% more likely to hit and less chance to fall over etc. In the actual battletech game it was OP as and only clan mechs with targeting comps could hit specific area's on a mech. In MWO any and all players can target like a targeting comp and unless they are ******* almost all never miss.

And just to be fair the quirk system at current actually makes IS teams in CW as strong as clan as long as they play smart. CW is not about the tech at all TBH it's about the fact that the few good groups of players that still play it are all clan right now. When the 228 or -MS- for example play a game with a 9-12 man... they win no matter what faction they play.

So if i dont own any Resistance packs im not qualified for any rewards ?

Because all i see is reward 250 K c bills etc and this game does not qualify, on every single match.

PS. Yea i've done more than 150 score in the matches and none of them qualifies.

To me the Details of this event are misleading.

Pilot any 'Mech in the Assault, Skirmish, or Conquest modes (Solo or Group queue) and achieve a minimum Match Score of 150 to qualify for 250,000 extra C-Bills.(to a maximum of 10 Million C-bills)


I just played yesterday whole night and now i started to wonder why im not getting anything. I guess i missunderstood the whole event.

You get the 250K C-bills but they do not enter your wallet till Sept 1st as stated on the tournament page.

OK match score have been updated. We make more point per match.

These events need to only work if you DONT use lrm, ppc, gauss, ll/erll.

I don't think you go far enough. You should only be eligible for a reward if you get your 150 matchscore in a stock urbanmech. With no ballistic ammo. And one leg. No, wait. You should only be eligible for a reward if you get out of your mech and throw rocks at other players.

/sigh.

I think you'll find the "not qualified" refers to the grab bags, because you don't have the necessary packs. Don't forget, you don't get the extra cbills until patch day.

I use to be House Davion, but a friend of mine wouldn't play the damn game unless we went Wolf (yes he is petty). I was in a Davion unit for a while and they did pretty well, but we were definitely at a distinct disadvantage going up against clans.

I also remember something from the lore including political machinations being a major hindrance to the momentum of The Clans, it wasn't just the numbers for the IS... So how do you make that a factor in your game? You can't make the Clan 'Mechs and IS 'Mechs exactly the same; not only would it not be lore friendly, but it wouldn't be interesting. So what do you do?

I can't wait to see how the Black Knight and the Mauler hold up, but out of the current resistance options the Enforcer is my favorite.

Really needs to be said tho, you sir need to go back and learn the lore of this game before you say stupid things like "balanced clan tech vs IS". It's not meant to be balanced, the clans steamrolled the IS till they hit a roadblock of numbers. The IS have 10 times the numbers the clans have at least and to be honest that's the only thing that ruins CW.

We cannot follow lore of clan tech just being better because IS doesn't get to field more mechs. The 2 have to be balanced if we are going to play even numbers... otherwise why in the world would you play any IS mechs?

Zandel Corrin, on 26 August 2015 - 01:22 AM, said:

Honestly they should also restrict which clan or house faction uses which mechs for CW as well. Since they all used different mechs and varients. If they did that they CW would not be the same thunderbolt / hellbringer spam it is today. Hell only Jade Falcon used the Hellbringer in such numbers from memory and only Wolf used the TBR is massive numbers.

What would that really solve? People would just switch to whichever clan or house used the mech they wanted. Everyone would just join Jade Falcon if they want the Hellbringer and then noone would play any of the other factions. No matter what PGI does some mechs will always be better than others, and the hardcore players will just switch houses to whoever has the best mech so limiting what faction uses what mechs does nothing good for the game.

U Y NO MAKE CW MODE?!

[Marauder3D]

I'm confused. When you look at the Tourney page, it looks like for every game you play with an ® variant, you are getting 500k cbills. Is this correct? Or should it be 250k only?

Because next to my game with a Firestarter-K, it says 250K. Next to my game with a Zeus 6 ® it says 250k 250k. Anyone help me out here?

It would appear that matches played with a Resistance variant mech either get you 0 or 500k, depending on whether you hit a 150 match score or not.

They will inject the bonus bills on September 1st. I am sure they are tracking

[Marauder3D]

Now not that I"m complaining, but 500K additional per match after the contest in a Resistance mech? This was the intention? Wow?!

And 250k with a non-Resistance mech. I'm not complaining either - this tournament's more then tripling my normal average match income for 40 matches, especially when it's not too hard to hit 150, even in losing games (W/L ratio near 1 right now for the 13 matches I've run since it started, > 150 every game).

[Desintegrator]

I have played the first matches and always got the needed match score...

...but didn't got any C-billls !!
NOOO !

[Navid A1]

Great...just great.

Look over the thread, and the tournament announcement, just a tiny bit. All the c-bills from the event will be going into accounts on September 1st, at the same time.

Lern 2 punkchu8. Plz. Also, please don't bother posting if this is all you're going to do. There's a balance pass coming in September, with the release of a couple more mechs, then I would imagine CW will get some love. PGI must walk before they can run, and they must maintain income to keep up with game development and server maintenance. Get over yourself.

Now, I'm of the opinion that they could be making much more money if MC costs of some things were cut in...half. But, that's up to them.

you still need to play 80 matches for 20mil, its 10 mil for normal mechs and 10 mil for resistance mechs, playing 40 resistances games wont make you 20mil.

No really, it's 40 matches for a Resistance Pack owner.

Pay attention to the tourney info and match logs.

250k for any mech for a qualifying match (150 match score)

250k BONUS for a Resistance mech for a qualifying match (bonus in this instance that is ontop of the base bonus, you have a separate bonus).

It's 40. It's not 40 Resistance and 40 non-Resistance (unless you go the non-Resistance route first, if only to extend for another 40 for the Resistance - because you need more grabbag tokens).

For the "straight money", 40 Resistance qualifying matches gets you to 20m immediately.

This event and all like them need to be banned it just turns the game into lurmageddon farm wars as people are so terrified that they might actually have to use their armour.

Its rather pathetic but clearly pgi don't give a toss and sitting at the back of the map in a Direfail lobbing missiles apparently means that's a good score.
