Just ran a scout mission as IS vs Clan (dufus me took a Marik contract just before they announced the event details) and even with an ECM griffin with 4xSRM6... all I managed was 96 damage against the lance of stormcrows... who weren't really scouting as much as death skirmishing (and they were the scouting side of the mission).

Some nice rewards, I think the WHK - (C) may be acheivable, we shall see...

Though I dont usually play CW, thanks for the CW event o7. Scouting can still be a 'challenge' as a walking IS bullseye ~ but hey. Just gotta play harder!

I just did a invasion match in FP, Its worse than I thought, I still do better Cbills in Quick Play and faster.

Phase 3 should been called Phase 2.1

oH BOY... a 1 hour ceasefire... that's just what I need to slow up progress on these near impossible challenge goals.

Wow, so much complaining over the labor cost of playing a free game to get free stuff.

ForumWarriors for the win.

This guy's got the right idea. I wouldn't call it "winning", but the sentiment is spot on.

How about trying FW then? I am not saying commit to doing all the matches but give it a try. Maybe just scouting, maybe just invasion. Nothing to lose really

Just a portion of your life. Every human being I've met is mortal. Therefore PGI's extensive wait queues and worthless ghost drops actually takes a portion of your life away. Even if you were a McDonald's worker in the cities that pay $15 an hour, their time is wasted. Imagine if you were doing better than that worker, then the waste of time becomes more signficant in wait queue. The game play isn't a waste, it's just the absurdly long wait times to play. They need to come up with CW load screens that are represent the queues for main attraction rides in theme parks. Maybe sell some MWO sun lamps so you can get the true experience of those lines.

And lets be honest, a large portion of the MWO player base doesn't have much time left, especially to waste in queue.

By the way, you're welcome for the Free MC. I've been suggesting that for the past 2 years. They just need to copy World of Tanks clan warfare in a lot of aspects. Maybe they'll attract more players.

I spend my time in the queue either talking with my fellow Free Worlds Leaguers, messing around with my browser, playing games on my cellphone, or doing something away from my computer. No one is being forced to play this game, so you are voluntarily "wasting" your life.

Gonna pass on this event faction warfare is terrible

Fair point, gathering intel nets you no match points so if you do exactly what you are supposed to do as scouts, you are BONED.

Match points come only from fighting enemy. The reason is that you can't qualify on a ghost scout drop, just like you can't qualify in an invasion match ghost drop.

My point is that *if* there are enemy, accomplishing your mission(s) should affect your match score. This means ghost drops would not be affected but good scouts will be rewarded.

Who knows it might even shake up the scouting "meta"

[Dulahan]

Sorry if this was answered, but as part of a unit where different people want different rewards (Clan Mechs for some, and IS for others) - do we get choice of mech from all 4? Or only the faction we're pledged to?

[3rdstorm]

Wish I could say im enjoying the event.. but im not really.

Confused about what to do. The modes and objectives are unfamiliar. getting my *** kicked. angry teammates. conflicting play styles. waiting around in queues. only one match at a time. running into premade slaughters. very grindy.

Think id rather be playing solo q casually. but pretty hard to justify passing on an event and free stuff.

For the best FW experience you will need to join a unit, however, occasionally a strong leader will come forward in a PUG group and heard the puggies to victory.

WHY A MATCH SCORE of 80 MINIMUM FOR SCOUTING VICTORY!?

In a game mode where you are encouraged to evade your opponents a victory with under 80 MS is not uncommon... wtf.

[shopsmart]

The BEST games were cat and mouse in a light. Or the opponents in lights trying to stay alive. That kind of play is getting shafted by the 80 minimum match score for doing what the mission is. Something needs to be reconsidered. I think there were 2-3 games where it happened to me. At least 2 games where the opponent should have got the qualifier for doing VERY well evading us, getting intel, and escape, but 40ish match score.

Maybe a new reward. "Escape". Not worth much cbills but helps with match score.

Also Streak Crows everywhere. It is getting old.

[Leone]

Yes! finally, an event for the common mechwarrior. None of this quickplay only trash. A real event for me!
