I'm sorry, what advantages?!? The DOA Marauder?

Last time I checked IS XL still goes boom with side torso, Clan Gauss was still 3 tons lighter, Clan DHS heat dissipation BUFFED?!? Are we going to hold back the tide with the newly broken blackjacks?

Sorry JP on the Marauder you and I disagree. I have been running various versions most with the XL-360. And I have been racking 500 to 900 point games. It is a shame that the nerfed the blackjack and bounty hunter. The latter with a XL-360 was epic.

I can probably speak for OLD on this, but we'd prefer to be lining up against MS for events. You're unit has always fought honorably against us. Millions of times better than many units who'd prefer to just try to rush past and try to gen rush, pretty boring shooting the legs off of mechs that don't even fire back.

We like ya, but would rather fight you. Also remind Tom Sawyer that he is a marked man! XD

Will you spare me if I pay you in bacon?

no matter which units play on which side, if you ask me it will be quit eimbalanced, and not because of any units involved.

• Clan outranges IS big time (IS LL has (slightly) less range than clan ER medium, and lets not talk about the bigger ones.
  
• clan has quite a number of decent to good ECM capable chassis types, and even with thereduced ECM range the clan ECM spam is still there and keeping peeps out of sight/targetting ranges. IS ECM mechs are rather few, and if we are talking about good ECM mechs on IS side .... count the numbers
  
• waiting times will suck on IS side (last time it was over an hour for 1 drop if I remember correctly, I honestly do not see it being less this time)
  
• considering the waiting times one can expect the personal goals for this event will be far from easy to achieve (even with it 'just' being 4k matchscore) in just a weekend - people have a bit of a life outside MWO too after all. Especially on weekends ...
  for the more mathematically inclined ... lets assume 1 hour between drops.. and 15 mins for each drop (both on the rather quick side prolly for non premades) lets assume the usual 'being stomped' against a premade, so lets say 150 matchscore a game tops. that means 27ish drops for the 4k or a playing time of 34 hours ... and no, saying 'get yoursefl into a premade' is not alid, cause people need to learn to play together and optimise their builds before being an effective group
  
• And why several days cease fire afterthe event and not make the event go longer???

off course most of these arguments go for CW in general, not just this event.

[Depressing-Fire]

Saving all my GB Points for this event, hope to play with some of you -MS- boys and girls on the CWI TS and stuff.

last time we won loads of tukkayid battles we had 3 minute rushes and did only kill 2 IS mechs in many matches. What makes you win the event is not even often related to kill mechs. Thats why this entire event and judging it's statistics in regards to balance is just wrong.

And even that wouldn't be so bad for Clan strategy IF the run up to the end of Tuk was during prime population hours so it was actually contested. Ending it during the hours where the majority of your population is at work (and doing it the second time around after seeing how it played out the first time) is just poor planning and makes the "honor" of winning the event next to meaningless for the greater part of the games population.

[Husker Dude]

The first Tukayyid event was kind of the thing that got me super hooked on the game after a year of very sparse play. I got lucky and managed to drop with Count Zero and the Donegal Guards a whole bunch, and it really improved my gameplay, my loadouts, my entire MWO experience, really.
I'm looking forward to another good one.

Gentlemen,

The second battle of Tukayyid and the end of a glorious Season 2 of CW is upon us!

This time, things might be different.

While Clan Wolf and her -MS- allies hustled greatly during the last event, this recent patch change might just be the thing the IS needs to triumph. IS mechs are tanky as all hell, and now have the weapons to match. The field is finally, and arguably, fairer than it has ever been. Assuming the numbers game is removed from the equation

And remember last season? The entire week's worth of battles came down to the final few hours with a down to the wire finish. Dat Shiit was close.

So, here is the challange for all those Loyal to the Inner Sphere.

Can you heroes stop the mighty Golden Shower that is coming in the form of Clan Wolf and her Merc Allies?

It turns out Money Speaks. With well over a quarter Billion C-Bills being spent hiring out the best Merc Houses money can buy, Wolf is laying its cards on the table.

The IS have nearly every advantage, including the turrets, who, lets be honest, are the greatest pilots ever. After the Drop Ships of course

Clan Wolf gets the mighty 228th, MercStar and her allies, and quite likely KCom and a few other choice units.

Things are about to get juicy.

The entire Inner Sphere needs you to take up arms!

Are you up to the challenge?

The Prize is the glory and the worst faction rewards we have ever seen in MWO!

Thus Spoke MercStar,

Antonius Rex,
of The Swords of Kentares,
and The MercStar Alliance.

A quarter billion C-bills you say for such a quite collection of Mercenaries... I am sure Clan Wolf will find the currency well spent!

[Crispy Chicken]

forgot in my earlier post:
in the first tukayyid event we had at least some advance warning regarding faction change PLUS contracts due to expire during the event were canceled by the game before the event did start so you could chose your faction for the event.
Not so this time, which means my units contract will end in abot 24 hours ... which leaves quite something to be desired really, e.g. the knowledge which faction rewards we will get if we change to clan ....

if you ask me annother badly prepared/planned event

dunno, do we have charts about EU and NA palyers comparison? this tukkayid will end rather much at EU primetime, the last I thinkw as quite deeper at night.

But I don't think for PGI statistics the end result is what matters it's more what happens within all te matches during the Event. Yet of course the endresult in a worldwide game will always be mostly affected by those who have primetime when the event ends. And with the way how the tukkayid event or planets in general get conquered its mostly the last games that truly matter. Would probably be better to count all opposed matches and their results to define the one who conquered tukkayid.

Here's the problems with you and you keep re-posting that.

1. Its not far removed from violating name and shame policies.
2. At least 80% of the names listed as "Admiral" afkers with no unit tag are in fact fairly active members of MS.
3. None of these players has been banned to our knowledge, and it would have been ridiculously simple for PGI to run quick IP checks to confirm if something like this was actually happening.

4. Snowflake pugs dc all the time in CW instead of actually participating in the match.

and with 38 post from me on this forum it should be easy to find where i have postet it bevor ....
till then try not to get to angry, thats bad for the heart

To this very day, there has been absolutely ZERO proof of this happening. But feel free to operate under this delusion for awhile longer. its very amusing.

Inner Sphere versus the Crutches.

Load of crap. I never feel used when I see wave after wave of Ebon Jaguar/Spamcrow/Arctic Cheater/Timberbarf

nope. not once.

I think I'll wait till I can have balanced matches of IS v IS again... maybe. No reward is worth my free time wasted being someone's shooting gallery target.

Then when the event ends you can attack Laio or Steiner =D
