WHY ARE YOU HAVING CW WEEKEND EVENT SINCE THE DARN THING IS STILL BROKE!!?????
Ya i like sitting in que for a half a hour to play CW..what a joke!

[veedubfreak]

How bout that. I also get penalized for leaving a match. Good job guys. Keep up the good work. I'll probably even get screwed on the event score for trying to cheat by afking.

[Taffer]

I liked this event. No complaints at all

Just got done doing 2 more matches. Good fun. Randomness all over the place. PUGs in CW. Love it. Makes a breath of fresh air. I hate CW because of team milking, but the chaos bone got thrown and it is neat.

Competition was good.

No outrageous scores to meet.

Acceptable amount of time to commit without feeling like I'm selling my soul (2-3 days-shorter if you drop with a team).

I'm always grateful for free items to be earned.

[crustydog]

Commander A9, exactly right.

Experienced players of CW will have no trouble doing the full challenge in a short period of time. Newer CW players, of which there are many this evening, will find this a challenge to complete all of the requirements... but one that is within reach. In my mind this is exactly how these sort of events need to be planned. The new warriors are in need of these supplies, and the extended experience in the CW environment is good for their games and their drop decks.

CW is just like any other game - there is a right way to play it - and the more you play the more you learn. Do more damage, get more kills, and your earnings improve. Learning to work well with others for a mutual goal is the fastest path to the highest earnings.

Had two games. Long wait times because : more IS people than clan.

Meaning? Clan start immediately, IS wait (IS many)

Why you no join clan?

Um,

One would think that you would disable the CW Cease Fire during this challenge.

Just saying... (after waiting in a queue for 15 minutes then just as we are about to go planetside the cease fire kicks in and my time was completely wasted). Bad PGI.. bad...

[Asmosis]

This was less rough than the previous CW event, I guess the units are taking it easier.

Not having an astronomical mountain of an objective to climb helped a lot too.

[Kushida]

I noticed almost every clanner has the "Oh you just don't know how to load out a mech and its teamwork that wins" so it doesn't matter the clans win 90% of the time....
tell you what, EVERYONE DROP THE IS AND JOIN THE CLANS!! THAT WAY YOU WILL WIN AND GET ALL THE GOODIES!
just saying..

[Modo44]

CW confirmed still ****. Thanks for reminding us, PGI.

[Freeman 52]

Thanks for this event! It was a great way to get me into CW, even as a pug. It is a bit heartbreaking when you realise you're facing a 12-man, but that's CW! Good fun anyway.

My only suggestion is that you add one more challenge on something like this:

You automatically get one day of premium time just for dropping in CW? The reason being that it makes a TON of difference on how fast you rack up cbills, xp, and lp over a long haul.

I was lucky enough to win on my first game Thursday night (I take 1/12 of the credit at most) and I was done in 8-10 matches or so without being a top 3 performer in most of them.

For new players and folks that just don't have a solid team or lucky pug drop, it could be a real grind...
I will say, premium time + win brings in 800k to a million cbills per game... that makes it pretty nice!

Thx for the Event PGI!
Gave me the oportunity to check out how CW from Clan perspective feels like (FRR contract ran out Thursday evening).
Had very bad games (getting rolled in 10 minutes without a chance), very good ones (9Kills+22Assists) and on everage relatively even matches.
My conclusion:
The outcome depends more on teamwork (voice or text), recon, personel performance then IS or Clantech.

tip: if you have problems with long waittimes: just lookout for playernumbers that are close to divisible by 12 (is that english? sorry ) behind the planets name: 11, 23, 35 ectpp. By that, you have instant matches more often than not. Instant doesnt mean instant drop, you still have to wait until the enemy shows up (->max 10 minutes).

[Boaz Roshak]

Where are the stretch rewards in this? I was able to complete all but one of theses the first day I played and If I played one more match I probably would have gotten that last 200 match points. Thanks for a nice and easy set of rewards that had wanted.

[Calebos]

CW is waste of time .. PGI you suck heavilly!

Realistically, you need like 15 CW matches to get all the rewards (the cumulative match score will take 200 match points per match, assuming you deal 1k damage and like 4 kills (you only need like a bit more than 1 kill per game though).

So, that means like 3 matches every day (for 5 days).

Still, I get better rewards in one POE race than this.

I did it in 6 matches.

Could use a few more of your clanner buddies in drops ;-).

[ChewBaka]

Well, I'm done. Completed all objectives. Joined the Jade Falcons again just for this.

I think it took me less than 15 games but I didn't keep exact count. Maybe about 12.

Didn't run into a single 12-man premade. No ghost drops either.

Lost a few, won a few. Overall, not as bad an experience as I thought it would be. But than again, with almost every active player in CW now, finding games wasn't hard.

Some of you guys were being salty over nothing.
