The solo rewards were fairly easy to pick up. The CW rewards are taking a little more work. Cool event though. Lots of free stuff to be earned. I'd like to see more color and camo options in event rewards though. One of the very few things we can do to mechs to make them "ours" are camo and color. I wouldn't offer them as commonly as the other rewards, but still toss them out there 3-4 times a year.

yeah, not really sure I wanna screw with CW. Best done with large groups...but large groups are so blasted slow and cumbersome to actually get IN drop most times.

Easest way to do it is to break contract ASAP and go Clan, build some LRM boats, and rain down the damage. IS side usually have severe lack of ECM mechs since said mechs are not T1-2 material. Guaranteed getting most of the rewards in a few pug drops.

Yes,,,, This event was like a really nice performance pack... Load up some premium to play over the holiday.. Splash some paint on those dull mechs... Here is something pretty to look at in your cockpit.. and to top it off, Here is some MC, and C-bills and a bunch of consumables too!

Very great reward package, and a fun event.. two Thumbs up!

this acct owns no clan mechs. My other acct is pure clan so not an issue, but the wait time remains horrendous, regardless.

In 4 matches, of which I only did notable well in 1.... already got every reward except the paint, cash and hanging items.

That was the easiest Wall Hack I ever acquired.

I want the CW paints but... I haven't touched CW in a year (PUG life)... can't make a clan faction... won't let me pick a clan faction... it only sticks me with Inner Sphere stuff. What the hell. I just want the paints. :-|

well, don't do it tonight, at least as a PUG. HAd 4 good drops early afternoon/late morningish, and had 4 decent matches, 2 wins, 2 losses.

Played 4 tonight, 2 each clan and IS, and got the absolute dregs of dimwittery on my team, trying to attack single file, or more often, park at a Gate and try to hide and peek.

In none of the matches did my team account for double digit enemy deaths.

And that was with me trying to explain to them how it wqas going to unfold...only to have it happen EXACTLY as predicted...and at the respawn..them do the exact same thing.

I swear there needs to be an IQ test to drop in CW...and find some way to measure for balls, too.

Well it won't let me pick a clan faction, anyways, so I'm not going to bother. I have no idea why, either. It wants to force me to pick an Inner Sphere one. I spent twenty minutes messing around with the interface and was lost.

And yeah, PUG queue is usually bad on Saturdays too. It reminds me of playing during the day in the middle of a week.

[Mister Blastman]

I still don't know why it won't let me pick a clan faction.

Since I don't have mixed faction mechs, I can't try it to see what happens. Well, and I won't break my Steiner contract to load up on Clan Trials to try it.

Wait... mixed faction mechs? You mean, in your inventory or something?

Yes. My accts are either pure IS or pure Clan. SO I can't readily jump factions to test things, because I don't own the mechs.

We should be able to have different pilot on the same account. Their stuff would not be shared. I have this problem with Elite Dangerous. I would very much like to have a smuggler in a Cobra with maybe an opposite faction than with my other pilot who is more exploration/trader but i can't. It's one of the reason im not playing ED right now.
