No the issue is. I have THE worst luck with RNG. So when ever a event uses a RNG gift system i get very, very angry.


I had a flight chief in Korea (in the precambrian era Posted Image ) , one of his saying was Life Is Full Of Disappointments.....This Is One Of Them...Deal With It.

Remember this is only a game.

No i will not. I will not deal with it when developers get lazy and use a RNG system. RNG is THE laziest way to deal out rewards and it's disappointing that the stockings from pre-order bundles don't have greater chances for better rewards.

I am sorry, but your tone and attitude about things that do not actually exist is kinda funny and kinda sad.

Based on your statements it would seem that you only hate rng because you have perceived bad luck with it. The only reason devs must be lazy is because it doesn't work for you...

...and you will not let it go...

Did I get it? I think I used your words, condensed and weighted based on presentation.

First.world.problem.

You where RNG really sucks? Babies born to crack mommas. Hereditary degenerative diseases. Natural freaking disasters.

In this season where there is an open invitation to think outside of one's own needs... I think I will focus on those IRL RNG travesties first.

BTW while I did get this cent, I have 2 of them already... I would have gifted it to you if I could. I never got the TBR gift though I opened every possible bag so while I feel your pain, you should be close to able to BUY the mechbay and a cent with all the free mc and cbills you get from the event.

Seriously, open all you goodies while the cents are still on sale, if you open all your bags and still no cent, you can buy it on sale.

I've just returned recently. Faction Play is a new thing for me. I quit right before it came out. Every match I've done today has been me with a bunch of PUGs vs an almost completely premade team. It's been embarassingly bad and it feels like I'm wasting my time in 30 minute chunks.. The payouts are bad and the odds are really steep unless you're in a premade it would seem. This event is what pushed me towards giving faction play a chance and it's just frustrating.

Yeah it is definetely frustrating when you drop blind... you will notice that in the faction tab, there is a chat area in the lower right corner (it may only appear when you are attacking/defending a planet, can't remember). This chat pane has different filters including "Faction" just post there that you are looking for people to play with and you want to be in a coordinated group. You can find like-minded folk and join their group. You might even get a unit invite and join them on their own private TS. The more people you group up with, generally the better your chances of winning. It won't be magic, but you may just make some friends!

Just remember to be a good teammate, that is what wins cw, not solo heroism...

The tournaments page doesn't appear to be sorting the games in any reasonable way, for example by date of the match. When new matches appear for Redeeming they can show up anywhere in the list, not just at the top or bottom as you might expect based on recent timestamp of match.


Can you guys make it sort properly either asc or desc based on time of the match?

There are way better cents out there. Believe me. I mastered my loyalty ones, but did it by piggy backing them and using oodles of lrm spam. As soon as I died I pulled out the other one and ran with it. 3x lrm 5, 3 x MG, range and cool down modules, and prayed no one saw me spraying from the edges of the fight.

Also a note for the lrm spam. They took away the ah cent's biggest advantage, when they killed it's boosted range missile quirk.
