Nice
Also... I LOVE that you are giving stuff away with XP conversions now! That really makes sense, now that I stop to think about it, and it's a good move. I might ACTUALLY convert some of the multiple millions of XP I have on already mastered chassis!

[Windscape]

well uh, looks like i was wrong about this event being better than last weeks... I'll just say, U BETTER HAS A RIFLEMUNZ TOURNEY!

i keep my hopes up for a better event next week.

if you have MC to spare, this is a great event, but i don't

[luigi256]

Oh yeah I was just thinking how a double xp weekend would help me grind out mechs! Sweet bonuses for converting xp too I'll get in on that for sure.

[Navid A1]

Double XP earning is very nice

Double XP conversion is ... nice... i guess. (does anyone actually does that?)

Conversion rewards.... its a TRAP! (real men use real XP to level mechs)

[Kael Posavatz]

so in other words...

Spend 20,000 mc this weekend, get:

2500mc worth of cockpit items (plus 'the island', I'll be generous and call this a 1000 mc item)
800mc = 1.1 million c-bills
60mc =1 consumable pack


Rewards
16 consumables =960 (assumes MC consumables)
10 C-bill packs =8000
Cockpit stuff =3500
*Mechbay =300
Total Rewards =12760

*edit--forgot the MechBay when I first did this. As for the c-bills, they come in 1.1million packages, so that is what I used. This skews the MC value of the rewards higher. So, as an alternative... 2x 1.1 million packages, 1x 2.4 million package, 1x 6.5million package. End up with 100,000 c-bills over, and a cost of 7,200mc or a total cost of 11,960. Also, the consumables could be c-bill consumables, in which case they value at 2,560,000 c-bills (or we could convert to more c-bill packages, spend 1600 mc, arrive at 13400 or 12600 depending which way you buy the c-bill packages, and end up a few c-bills shy overall, but who's counting?)



This follows on those various grab-bag events. Each of the individual reseen packages have had a chance to get 25 extra items. People who bought the IS reinforcement package had 25 extra chances.

But the people who bought the Origin packs? No event for you.




On the upside... 2x XP weekend. Well done PGI, well done

Oh.

[DoctorDetroit]

please! PlEaSe! PLEASE! DO NOT CONVERT XP WITH MC!!!!

This is a trap! 20,000 mc and all you get is 11 mil cbills, and some dime a dozen modules/cockpit items.

After you play for a few months, you have more than enough gxp for the essentials.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

This Weekend is a Double XP weekend for All modes! That's twice as much MC as you would normally earn!

Looking forward to earning 2x of 0 MC per match during this event!

Oh.

...taking things out of context again. I was clearly addressing grab bag events.

[TercieI]

Unclear from the language, are conversion rewards an ongoing thing?

Don't forget that sweet mechbay when you hit the cap! Totalling it all up if you bought everything it gives you including the C-bills (can get 2x 6.5mil for 8k MC for simple numbers and Island can't be bought but would have an estimated value of 750) it would only cost 12,510MC as opposed to the 20k you'd have to spend. Converting xp is kind of a waste of MC imo, event or not. It only really benefits newer players that want to unlock pilot skills and none of them are going to have 20k lying around. It's a bad value. It's better spent towards mechbays, heros, or cosmetics of your flavor.

[Barkem Squirrel]

Nice to get double XP and XP conversion to GXP.

But, NO, NO, NO! on this getting rewards by spend MC or real money.

I have only 122,000 GXP to unlock the remaining modules in the trees and I never converted XP to GXP. Then again it if you have the money to spend it is a great way to get a few cockpit items, a mech bay, consumables and up to 11 million C-bill.

Play some games and you will still earn GXP, it is slower, but more rewarding. Although that island cockpit item is neat and from what I hear a history behind it.

If it was that squirrel cockpit item, maybe I would spend the 20,000 MC. Image of it: http://i.imgur.com/YFUtZMH.jpg

[Hexenhammer]

CHA CHING!

Time to spend some of that discount MC I got last year.

Uh hell yeah! That'd make an awesome reward.

[LordLosh]

Ugh I just gave you 55. Now I'm thinking 20 bucks for Jenner llc to play with for the weekend and 15 for some Mc to blow it all on converting so my kodiaks are mastered day one. You could write a book about all my 1st world problems

[D V Devnull]

Eh... I think I've missed some wording or something...

Are we going to earn MC somehow during the event so we can convert Mech XP to General XP ???

If not, this event is impossible for me to even be able to ever complete, being the Pure F2P that I am.

[White Bear 84]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. 20,000MC to get all the rewards from XP conversion..

[Groutknoll]

cool 2x XP weekend, time to master some mechs


xp conversion rewards, 20k MC for a free mech bay? I'll wait for them to go on sale for 150 MC
