Event done in ~8 matches (last 3 for score goal). Really liked it (haven't played CW in a long time, really liked the Battle of Tukayyid). Thanks to all CJF warriors.

If it hasn't already been mentioned, but the website counter was pretty cool when it was counting to numbers under 100, but watching it plod up to 2,500,000 is kinda o.0

Almost done with the event. A few great games where it wasn't complete stomps. But when you saw the unit opposition or your team had the name for 7-9 players, you knew the other team/us was going to get stomped and it happened. Wish there was a way to stop that when things are normal and not during an event. PUGlandiea might be calling me back, but I will be back for CW phase 3.

I did it in 6 matches.

If your part of an organized team, sure getting an average match score of 500 is reasonable but in solo drops it takes about 6-8 matches to get the other objectives then another X matches depending on how many premades you run into. 200 avg is about right for that.

PUG life. This was after 2 ghost drops though so yeah it might take 6-8 drops.

Originally I was going to skip that one, but I found it lined up nicely with the faction rank bonus which also happened to be a mech bay.

really quick matches this morning for clans. Ive had some good games and the challenge is easy enough where you dont have to go full tryhard. Pretty good event all around.

[TheStrider]

Thanks for the event! Had fun - was pugging as my unit wasn't on, but picked up 2-3 guys in a match and formed a pseudo group.

I despise CW due to the milking of teams that go on. Not being mission driven and more kill kill kill!!! Who though Khorne was in the game. I will give some shots at CW due to event, but will see how it goes. I am not going to wait 20-30 minutes for a game.

Exactly that. The same we have in public queue we have in CW. It is all a need to grind the enemy down. And then people wonder why everyone is just emphasising firepower. Whatever...

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

Absolute BEST challenge yet, allot of fun now we have all these players in CW.

Hope we have allot of stickers in CW

I guess I'll play one more

[DevilCrayon]

Yep, defending against clans is still the least fun thing to do in this game, including Testing Grounds.

[Yozaa]

Thanks for the free stuff PGI
We won a few (like few) games, was great

wow i havent played cw since january and forgot how fun it was... nice event great prizes... thanks pgi

How I got everything:
1st match: Victory part completed
2nd match: XP completed
3rd match: LP and Kills completed
4th match: Kill assists and C-Bills completed
5th match: Damage completed
7th match: Match score completed

I loved this event, I had a real sense of progression with every match I played. Doing well in matches was rewarded properly, so if you did well you completed everything faster. I still saw some people who tried to desperately stay on their first mech to grind match score, but it wasn't a major issue like the last CW (the part public, part CW event with match score) event.

I would love it if you could do the same setup for public queue matches, as this format removes the whining of the requirement for a single match being too high.

[PeeWrinkle]

Took me a bit longer because I would only get 2-4 kills per match on average. It was actually a little frustrating at times, you know when you hit them in the red CT with 5ERMLs and as soon as they end their burn the mech dies, but the kill goes to the guy beside you! LOL

All joking aside, I can understand some the negativity towards CW in general, but why bring it up during an event that gives you free stuff? If you down want the stuff or don't like CW then don't play in the event.

Instead I applaud those who talk about how it is awesome that PGI is giving us goals that can be complete in 2-4 hours of play time.

We should all be talking about how even in a stomp mechs still get very good XP. Actually CW is a great place to level skills! Even in a bad match you can get 800+ XP per chassis. And with the improvements to queue time (at least it seemed improved, I never waited more than a minute or two for a match and most dropped much faster) you can run around 3 drops in an hour, which makes it much faster than leveling in a regular PUG match if you are on the loosing end most of the time. Don't forget that you usually get over 500,000 cbills each time you drop as well. That is a lot more than in a regular PUG match if you are on the loosing end for sure. Heck in regular pugs even great matches don't get you much more than 200,000, so you are still making more per time spent playing.

I hope the die-hards don't get upset with me for sharing this information, but there is no better way to grind CBills and level Chassis than in CW.

I really enjoyed this event and can't wait for the next event, no matter what it is!

[PhelenKell]

Logged in earlier today and have been playing for more than an hour... scores from my 2 matches are over 15 minutes ago and still no update to my numbers. Several people in my lobby have been mentioning no updates in the scoring for most of today. Any idea when the page will update?
