What grind? Play normally. Get extra cbills for it. They're not giving away free mechs or mc only content. Just play as much as you normally would, play well and get a bonus.

[Otto Cannon]

Such a feeble bonus isn't going to lure many people to play extra matches this weekend.

"That's a good chunk of C-Bills"... For 80 matches? Nice try, Paulconomy.

Another grind event. I'm just gonna level up my Assaults--forget about the measly sum they are offering for 300 points. Last event took me 86 matches, but this one will need at least 100-150 matches to complete.

Besides, 4 million is far less impressive than the 6 million from the last event + the 5 million from tutorials.

What how do you get 5 million from tutorials?

You play the tutorial, pass GO, and receive 5 million C-bills.

There are many previous events that gave people far more than that. That's what makes this one insulting.

The Blood Money event gave at least 3 times that in C-bills.

So... there's no real good reason to do this other than being a total masochist or not having anything better to do.

This event sounds terrible. A good reason to skip when all these warriors come trolling the system again.

It isnt worth my time. But perhaps i will play a few matches and then logoff. Thats more for fun though.

I don't see how anyone can claim to be space poor after the events of this month.

I can. This event is essentially no-aid at all. They payout is so laughably small that you're better off ignoring that there is any event whatsoever.

TBF, I blew at least 4 million worth of consumables to reach 400 score. Then PGI lowered the requirement to 300.

Those asses...

If there would be no event the earnings would be normal. This way you get 50k Bonus for every good match.

Don´t try to hard just play. There´s no minimum of matches you need to do so where is the grind?
I´ll give it a shot (or you if you are online )

[Eboli]

I think I will just go through the tutorials and get my 5,000,000. That way I don't get frustrated by the weekend tournament players.

Cheers!

I know it's going to sound whiny but 4m c-bills isn't all that much extra for playing 80 matches.

Oh well, it's still 50,000 extra per qualifying match which isn't too bad, so I might play or I might not.

[GeneralArmchair]

It is technically more than what we'd get if there was no event. The reward is just so paltry that it makes zero sense to devote any real time to pursue it.

If you're gonna play this weekend, play. Ignore the event. If you qualify you'll get a small increase in C-bill rewards. Whoopee.


As for PGI, you REALLY need to work on this Paulconomy problem if you want to eventually have a steam release. The Tutorial Cbills help, but between them and the cadet bonus it really is a situation of "you have one shot to get yourself a decent mech with your new player money. Screw this up and you'll be doomed for ages."

The cbills should be raining like crazy so players are encouraged to go all "pokemon collect them all" with all the mechs. In turn, people would be buying MC to buy all the mechbays to make room for all the mechs they're buying.

[Xetelian]

Bad event is bad.

Though I wont be seeing the rampant disconnecting this time around thanks to not needed the RNG map selection gods approval to finish the event.

Needing 300 is too high for a lot of people.

150 is the new 30 match score.

[Soultraxx]

300 points is in the region of 500 damage and a kill?

Considering that Im currently levelling my Black Knights its safe to say I wont be making much money this weekend.

Luckily Ive got more money than gaming skills so Im just going to buy the Marauder pack - 6 million Cbills, thank you very much and Ill just keep levelling my Knights

I already got mines.

For everyone who like puzzles go play Thalos: Principles (On Steam)

I really recommend this to anyone. Good game if you like puzzles. That indie dev deserves to be more known. If you like Portal series then you will really like this one.

With Prem Time from the last event and the bonus C-Bills from this one I´ll be space rich again

Before I blow everything on Modules and some overprized Clan Mech (looking at you Executioner)
