Great event!
But PGI, the required amount for completed games are a bit too steep. Lower it to 4 - 5 / 6 of what each step require (except the first one ofcourse). Like invasion matches played from 30 to 20.
At least lower it for new players sake. Vets and Mech hoarders will just have another to grind through or something. But for new players it will be very rewarding. Maybe hook in more Steam players for example.

Well, 9k dmg in 60 matches in an 4vs4 battle? Hello Streak Crow armada. o/

I think it is great that you are finally doing a FW focused event. Unfortunately, with the changes in today's patch, I am no longer interested in FW. At least not for the time being.

I'm really anxious to hear what their idea is moving forward, which hopefully they will talk about in the town hall. But I don't see why they'd have the event now when the majority of their changes have either been reversed or are suffering from balance/bug issues. But hey, jingle bells.

well you'll want to log on at odd hours and get lots of ghost drops in scouting missions...at least then you can get the intel collection in very little time.

I was unaware that Clanners had enough free time to write songs? :-)

Question: Do you get a mechbay with the mech?

Most important question asked, and everyone seems to have missed it.

You can't pay me enough to play even 1 of those silly scout missions as IS pilot. Nice job giving the Clans their own little private gamemode.

Stick your rewards where the sun doesn't shine PGI

lolololololol Nothing like an AC20 to bust clan mechs open. Sorry you can't bring your Atlas scout lance.

30 min a match for Invasion and 15 min a match for Scouting with 30 and 60 match requirements for respective game types.

Not arguing that the event volume/timing is perfect, but a decent scouting match should easily be over in 5-8 minutes tops..

Why would you punish people Clanners by rewarding them with a Mist Lynx Champion?

Then fight against an IS faction if Stormcrows are too scary for you, silly Lyran ;-)

Yeah, even then I would argue to complain less.. ..stormcrows are not invincible, team skill/coordination are probably more of a factor tbh..

I'm very happy to see the event runs more than a whole week, but 30 invasion matches?!? I hope the wait time for a drop is short....

Oh yes, the 30 invasion matches. I salute all Oceanic players that, bar this weekend, have to try and get this during the week..



And yes, very bitter about oceanic deadzone.. ..especially since the invasion deadline is 11pm AEST, that is 9pm for WA.. ..aint nobody got time for capturing planets then.

(Hint: PGI need to extend the oceanic TZ by 2-3hrs).

=P Nothing else to do, while picking up inner sphere salvage.

[ChewBaka]

I haven't really bothered to keep up with CW, but so Kurita & the FRR have overrun the Jaguars, eh? Yeah...some 'clan invasion' indeed.

This is the sort of ******** that happens when you insist on having symmetrical warfare. This isn't 'balance'. Its ********, and its definitely not Battletech anymore.

[Navid A1]

Well, nice event.

Since I have the same or better versions of those grand prizes sitting in my mechbay ( (I) instead of (C) ). There is not much incentive for me to play Torture warfare... um faction warfare i mean.

If you think i'm going to play with hordes of LRM20 trials in more than a hundred matches... only to be tortured, think again.
happy waiting!



Why so salty?


Maybe because PGI should change the rules to FW a bit.
I just don't know through what channel i should tell them that 4 empty mechbays per new accounts is so 2012 when the game only had 5 mechs.
Give new accounts 8 mechbays and instead make having 4 OWNED mechs as a requirement to play FW.

As long as you just want to flood the FW mode with any and every player out there... it WON'T WORK!... those people will run away after their first FW match and never come back!

How hard is it to understand PGI?
you need players.

Paulconomy was designed to torture us whales and BT fans. We are going to play your game no matter how much you torture us.
However the average gamer that you game need so much is going to run away if you torture them.

Even if you dont use/want the mech. Surely the mechbays that they come with would be useful no?

I do feel ya though, requirement to play CW 4 mech, new accounts only get 4 bays. Trials are better then they used to be tho.
Plus, master a mech require 3 mechs. Doesnt leave much room after youve mastered one, and sell the other 2, to master another. Then after that, it's only 2 mastered, and 2 trials.

Unless you keep selling them all, and eventually get 4 mastered mechs, its possible. Takes some time.
But you have to rebuy them again >.>

uhh... i have all 4 of the IS mech prizes... not mad or anything because they havent given mechs in a little while, but still...

other than that it like this event. Cant wait to play!

Each sell is a 50% loss of value in cbills.

letting them have 8 bays from the get go, prevents them from trying FW prematurely (to farm rank2 mechabys). Also, with the sheer number of available chassis right now, it makes it possible for them to plan a nice drop deck.... without having to sell everything anytime they want to master a new mech

[Kali Rinpoche]

While I think it would be nice to give new accounts a boost in available mech bays, spending 7 dollars will get you 4 mech bays. That is a value meal at a fast food restaurant skipped for 4 bays. I don't think 7$ is a lot to invest if you like the game. 8 if you time it with a sale.

Soooo are we gettting an even for the weekend? 'Cause this don't sound like one …
