Some quick clarifying info:

Ghost drops do count.

You will still be eligible for receiving rewards if your contract ends before the deadline, just so long as you:
a ) attained one victory on the contested planet during the Initiative while contracted with the required Faction
b ) that Faction gained control of the planet at any point during the Initiative

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say the FRR never got a message out via ComStar regarding the invasion... they need some serious perks to continue the good fight

I'm just kinda shocked at the difference in awards for Marik and Liao... given the difference in territory, I would've thought Liao would need some more Mechs on the field and shelling out Cbills to them would be more ideal than MC... a really small MC amount at that

[Ironically Ironclad Irony]

Lol, Liao mad! Clan Wolf bad! Only recourse is to attack Davion!!!

Makes the US attacking Iraq sound almost reasonable....

When I said Objective Based Warfare, this is NOT what I meant. Sure, fighting for a world is a massive objective, but I was talking about individual objectives on the playable maps, which would eventually lead up to the taking of a world, but would also allow for raids and smaller skirmishes than planetary takeovers. It's a start, PGI, but ONLY a start.

Yeah, until JF came all the way down to us, there was nothing fun to do in CW. Defending against clans is not fun as the only thing to do. Fighting Dave and Klaus is not much better when it doesn't account for anything but vanity tags on planets that are likely to get wiped again.

If this isn't visible in-game its going to be a weak test if trying to repopulate CW from the pub queues...

Infact I thought this was going to be a roleplay type post like they used to do in beta when the news feeds weren't filled with sales and weekend events.

Very fair move - though I guess we all agree that we'd rather avoid Ghost Drops altogether. Me, I had a 1:2 quota yesterday of 1 Ghost drop and 2 real matches, out of which one was a victory.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

I think it is a Test wich rewards will lure more player. 300MC or 4 Million C Bills....we ll see..

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

mmm interest for CW. it's just shifting of the low CW.

A good chance fo CW would be 10-man Clanners vs 12-man IS.
And cw-only weekends.
And group/lfg only weekends.

too much focus on what individual players want, want to buy.

FINALLY!

Some LORE-based incetive and immersion for playing CW!

This is one step closer to Celebrities as I imagined them a few months ago, and steering the CW experiance..

I LOVE this!

Keep it up for other houses/clans also.. (although my Clan/Unit leadership does this occasionally too, its still fun)

[Steelmesh]

Hmmm... I'm in a dillema..

Kill my beloved Wolves (which I actually respect) for 300MC, or enjoy slaying the green chickens.. for 4 Milion Cbils...

Tough choice..

I think I will kill chickens!

Damn, I dont think Ill have time enough though... have to brake contract... damn.

This is the best joke ever. CW is dead and now you tried to do something with it:)
Few months to late.

[Docta Pain]

HA! Why don't they just delete the announcement about a "Significant Change to ECM" and be done with it. If they're not going to carry through with their commitments... Why participate in Broken Warfare?

How on earth is this "lore-based"? All this event does is to bribe players of two factions to attack neighbouring factions for a very limited time. Whoop-de-doo!

Though come to think of it... the "logic" of lamenting the Clan Wolf incursions and the fall of the world of Liao, then ordering an attack on the Davion-held world of Sarna matches well with the portrayal of Romano Liao as written by Stackpole. But I'm not quite sure that was intentional...

Youd have to buff clans or nerf IS quite a bit for 10 v 12 to be viable, and its not going to happen because it would kill mech variety in the solo/group queue.

Hey, this is great :3 Good job PGI. It doesn't effect me personally, no way I'd work for Liao or Marik, but I love that you're going this way with it. And it's great to see some lore creeping in. Bravo PGI, Bravo... Stay the course!
