I'm disappointing in the lack of mechbays as part of the rewards.

I'd rather be given a Centurion-D (even if it is the stock build) than a Centurion-AH.

3 simple reasons:

1) Giving a newbie a mech that is totally ammo dependent is a hard sell. It's not something you give to a new player because they still have to learn the weapons, but also ammo management. Usually efficiency takes time to learn.. with energy you don't suffer from ammo problems. So, it's not as useful at first glance.

2) Centurion-D is expensive C-bills-wise, compared to other offerings. Selling it for parts would be more valuable to everyone involved.

3) 300XL on the Centurion-D is very reusable for many mechs (including the Yen Lo Wang).

Mind you, there are probably other better reasons, but the Centurion-AH as a gift/reward isn't really valuable unless it's another "Loyalty" variant (at least for the C-bill bonus).

XL in a Cent, Really ????

[Ironically Ironclad Irony]

Because no one answered my question earlier, and because I got the Cent out of my rifleman stockings, I can say with certainty that the AH chassis is totally sellable. So no three-of-a-kind for me

Thanks PGI for the extra 25 redeems. Rifleman gets it, warhammer got it, archer gets it... maruader never got it. Why not some MAD love for us MAD lovers

Curious about what to do if the additional 25 aren't showing up , I got my 25 for the Archer pack , and I own the Rifleman pack too , but no more chances available , still just the original 25 for the Archer.

Not every new player is a hapless child, I am sure there are those who learn quickly. Really, you should run for the DNC nomination, with all that hand wringing!

enuff with the crying..its a free event

[Ironically Ironclad Irony]

Also try logging out of website and back in... I logged in clean from my home comp w/ no issues...

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

Plz make Cw a bit more practical the way it is now.
It has to be improved on bugs and unlogical small things.

Go sit down with some regular and new CW players and fix a few problems.

[Ironically Ironclad Irony]

Looking forward to phase 3 of CW... based on their responsiveness to other issues recently, I am hoping CW3 will be smoother and more engaging... AI on ghost drops would be awesome...

[Kyuzo]

so it's not the AH(L)? well thats stupid... i don't even own one... and i want one

PGI needs to learn how to input it in so the challenge knows what you own and don't own so people can get a mech that was given out free prior.
