I recorded data from 60 games in solo drops; different players, different mechs, diferent days. One thing was consistant though. Clan mechs outdamaged IS mechs in the majority of matches (also killed much more mechs in total). If you wish I can publish precise numbers, so you can draw your own conclusions.

I don't think performance is only related to personal skill. The big shift of competitive crowd to Clan side might also be an indicator.

Is mechs do faster pinpoint damage, so you can kill enemies faster without hosing those lasers all over the mech. With is I can perform as well as in clan, but with the longer burn of clan lasers you spread damage more easily when enemies twist n shout. Also lot of players start with is mechs and gradually get also clan mechs, in consequence they already know how to point n shoot when stomping in the dark side.

I for one think its a step in the right direction. More lore based events for those that dig that stuff. If this happens on a regular basis it could help keep players engaged over planets.

we have ~60 LIAO ghost dropping against 0 Davion defenders... not so sure this is a step in the right direction

[Appogee]

By the time of the current ceasefire, we had 8 out of 13 sectors on Sarna.

So, I think (?) we won the 300 MC?

It's a bit pathetic but they do.

I guess so. But it would be worse if those of us who are trying to fight missed out due to the absence of any defenders.

Sarna has been claimed. 300 MC are ours.

I didn't mean that those Liao players trying to participate are pathetic. I meant that the event is pathetic for being so poorly designed that it did not provide any incentives for the would-be defenders.

Well... which one of the requirements is valid?

This:
„Assuming House Liao successfully controls Sarna by the end of this initiative, any Liao warrior who participated in a victorious fight on Sarna over the course of this initiative will receive a one-time reward of 300 MC upon the successful return of Sarna to our control.“

or this:
„[color=#00FFFF]If Sarna is under Liao control at any point before the above deadline, [/color]and[color=#00FFFF] you participated in at least one victory on Sarna while aligned with House Liao during this initiative, you will receive a one-time reward of 300 MC.[/color]“

[Chuanhao]

I really like this event. Limited timeline, single target, nice rewards, focused.

Some improvements would be to have at most one planet in the attack queue and one planet in the defend queue so that the number of players will not be diluted.

to more good ideas!

*just shakes his head*
I'd like to see the stats after these battles to show how lopsided clan vs is is these days

A bit late pgi
We can field one twelve man
Think that's enough to take the planet?

It's PGI's fault Marik doesn't have enough pilots?

[GI Journalist]

This was good use of BattleTech lore and a targeted reward bonus to inspire partícipatiion in CW. Both are worth sustaining in the future.

However, this mini-event event does not appear to have motivated much competition or resistance from the other opposing force.

CW needs more innovation to eliminate Ghost Drops.

This is a step in the right direction. Keep at it!

I like it. I would like it more if I could switch factions without a cool down period to participate in either Liao or Marik for the reward.

Russ said they made it short ON PURPOSE to keep people from swapping. Stay with your faction and wait for your own event. I am sure they would like to do more of these for the lower population factions to attract more people to them.

Yep, we had them then they screwed up cw and they quit or just don't play. Most of Mariks mercs are off collect mechbays too because there is nothing to fight for.

Go away troll

[Necromantion]

Why exactly cant they implement this into the game UI rather than on the forums? Oh wait, because the game UI is garbage and poorly thought out...

I liked it. It was something, which is far superior to nothing. Would like it to be averaged over 24 hours so population disparity doesn't settle it.

Therte are lots of Mariks, the queue was pretty full too today... and then the reaping began.
Waves of Marik solos we're cut to ribbons by good 12 man groups...

and the queue went empty pretty damn fast....

shakes head* yeah I figured... wolf

why don't you get back in your clan mech and feel how terrific you are.

Either they add in some hardcore AI bots or add rewards to get Davion players to participate too...

If PGI cannot see what wrong with this situation then gawd help CW..

^ This.

Was kinda annoyed to wake up this morning after spending hours cockblocking Marik and Liao on two different accounts only to find that Liao had ghost dropped their way to free MC in the Oceanic ceasefire.

100 MC per ceasefire in a 24 hour period makes more sense.
