Good prizes. Lot's of time. Should be fun.

Queue someone who will complain about free stuff, or that they can't play enough.. ugh

Another leader-board event for the Riflemen masses. Excellent!

Yep thats going to be me. No problem with prizes or the event itself. But I am disappointed a yet another event that excludes CW and is specifically designed to draw players away from the CW queue which is already way under populated.

For the record I am so over the regular queues and maps that it is not even appealing. I have played literally 6 or 7 matches in the regular queues since Christmas.

If I didn't have PT running I would just take the weekend off. Might still do that if the CW queues are to small.

I am one of those weird people who actually likes CW, it is why I signed up for the game after all.

Should be easy, as long as you run potent, heatless builds to counter the flamer stun-lockers running amok...

No collective goal pattern unlock this time?

Oooh I forgot about the flamer changes. Time to put six of them into my Hunchback

EDIT: Right, that's enough for the Trollback, I think

Oh my missus is gonna be soooooo mad!!

[Luscious Dan]

Is there a leaderboard for most time spent fussing with builds in the mechlab? I'd be good at that

[Cy Mitchell]

Nice! I need to level up some of my Mechs. It I happened to hit a few of these thresholds along the way then BONUS!

[ChewBaka]

MC and a punching bag? I skipped Valentine's but I would likely be doing this.

[White Bear 84]

Idk why the 5D with STD is so popular on smurfies.. ..the armor isn't even front loaded.. ..gonna try this baby, more firepower, more dps and better cooling efficiency. That CT is a magnet so who cares about XL...

Only the top ten matches will be counted for this challenge, does not sound good for the newer players that do not have any good modules.

Leaderboards are not for newbies. Just the way it is, mate.

[LegendaryArticuno]

A lot of cockpit junk... give us paint or a mechbay!

[Le Bum]

Idk about the Rifleman's CT being a magnet, I've been firing at their STs all night, they are quite prominent. xD

I miss the events that gave you mechbays, but the next best thing is an event that gives you MC to buy those mechbays.

Russ,

i just have to ask, why not replace the consumable packs with good mods like radar derp, seismic, etc. I know that peeps can sell them for cash, but it honestly would not give most people much money to waste, but it could help those just starting out, or those like me that have a habit of buying new mechs, or builds, and cannot save the c-bills to buy the top end mods. Just a thought, not a complaint.

[D V Devnull]

So... read the event... and I have both praise and upset towards PGI.

The bad news: I think the time allowed is only good for 'Tier 4 and up'. I think they should have allowed one more day in the event for those people down in 'Tier 5' (which unfortunately happens to include another MechWarrior who uses the same PC as myself, and has been why I've been complaining about time limits) to have any chance of coming upward to play with us 'Tier 4 and up' folk, as they really need all they can get in order to succeed.

The GOOD news: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (and I'm serious about that too, not sarcastic) for putting some MC Rewards into this event!!! I'm extremely happy to see you put at least 100 MC available to be earned, and didn't forget us F2P folk!!! I'm also happy to see there's plenty of Cockpit Items, and a healthy Consumable Pack as well!!!


Sure, I could complain about wanting more MC, but I think this is a good 'climb out of the basement' to start with after the recent 'dry spell'. So, I'm just gonna leave this post at that, and tell the haters who would bother me to go jump in a very cold lake with their Mech. Soon enough, I'll be there on the battlefield to make their day go all kinds of wrong.

Im confused about

"If you don't own a Rifleman 'Mech that qualifies for the Leaderboard event you'll still have plenty of opportunity to earn some rewards in the cumulative Personal Challenge component, or you can pick up a Rifleman Collection if you want to throw down the gauntlet against other Rifleman pilots."

So the personal challenge part is for any mechs in quick play mode? rest of the announcement makes it seem like you need rifleman.

edit:thanks for answers guys. my first event ill participate in.

With the low engine cap my loadouts are either under- or overgunned, not one of them made me happy yet ..
