60 redeems now, no Premium or GP. Worst results ever

[ExoForce]

What I really want is a Lump of Coal. No kidding. There is something mystical in it. Maybe I was searching Yttrium way to long.

[Mumuharra]

23 redeems and got the grand prize. Thanks for that.
But now I take a break untill the mini map is fixed.
It's horrible game play and only tolerable with my LRMs stalker.

Dropped CW, got stuck in Mechselect Screen. Had to restart the game, couldn't reconnect in 2 Minutes, because old PC.
Matchscore over 100. Match is not considered, because disconnect.

So you can not programm, and I am being penalized for that. Great.

Please extend by the number of days we have had to work with crap map.

[Dee Eight]

I've run 30 scoring quick matches and a half dozen scoring scouts since the patch just fine. If I can do that, so can anyone else.

Dee, you're severely overestimating the community. A lot of people, myself included, have been disoriented by the map changes. Hell, I'm a 'Tier 3', and I'm experiencing dizziness from PGI's mistake! It would only be right of PGI to extend the event a few days for the errors they have made.

I LIKED THAT THE SCORE BOARD IN THE TOURNAMENT PRIZE PAGE SAID WHICH MECH YOU WERE DRIVING IN PAST EVENTS.

Yeah, that would be nice to see again, wouldn't it?

Hi, I have a silly question (maybe it's a suggestion) concerning this event.. In the Faction Play portion of this event, I'm part of the Inner Sphere side and not too skilled (Tier 5), I see 5 playable planets(?) in Faction Play of only which 2 seem to only get a match dropped in and the (Clan) opponent is the same for these 2 planets. It almost seems I'm not playing against a tier 5 opponent like I do in QP matches, rather an opponent who seems more careered(?).. Is there any kind of handicap in Faction Play for this so I could have a fighting chance to complete said events involving this game play? maybe perhaps separating Faction Play events from Quick Play events?

I love the game, I just can't seem to grasp certain aspects of it...
Thanks - Fraggle

I'm not quite sure this info is a factor but the other 3 of the 5 planets on the playable side of Faction Play have INV and SCT of 0/0.. usually

As an olive branch to the community, please extend the event through Monday.

I made on this event around 400 MC.
If we get an Mechbay sale, then yes, 2 at least.

Coming up to 1,000 LOL!

Consider Faction play, like the professional leagues. There is no handicapping or matching like skill with like skill. Its considered end game. Its a good place to get a grasp of what you will be working toward.

Did the 100 quick play didnt get grand prize.

Didnt get premium time til my last one. kinda sucks cause im burnt out from the grind and probably wont use it (wish it was banked).

Did get 700 MC so I probably shouldnt be complaining but was really hoping for that grand prize.

Tried the faction stuff again but i hate those mode and theyre slow to find games for/I dont get enough points even when I do get a game.

...what of the time constrained challenge requirements which require Faction Play on top of other Plays to finish for the low skilled player, are we F**k*d then??

Do the scout games, quick to run, quicker to form usually, only need to manage like 165 damage to hit the min 80 score.

Quick? I must be doing something wrong because ive only manage to play a few in past hour. no ones ever in queue for them. ive got to wait 5-10 mins between games just to play. then half the time I dont even manage to qualify for the event. its painstaking.

[DarthHias]

The problem with FW is that there are times not many matches are going.
Also if you want to tread in that dangerous territory you should have one fully equiped and mastered Mech for Scouting, for example a decent Medium like a Griffin if you want do do enough damage to qualifiy for the loot bag.

For Invasion matches four mastered and equiped Mechs are mandatory. Don´t worry if you don´t reach the 250 tons though, better to drop in Mechs you are good with than to take a useless assault that you suck in.
But be warned, there is no matchmaking in FP, so you can get everything from playing with pugs against pugs to playing with pugs against a 12 man from a unit.

[anfadern]

I'm just thinking that sine many people (me included) has been
greatly confused over the last patch you might consider prolonging
the event a bit.

[Rurikk82]

I'd love an extension as much as the next Mechwarrior. I mean who doesn't love free stuff for playing a game that you don't have to pay for. In my few months of play PGI has extended practically every event I've been around for. But I really see no need for this one to be. It's not like game was completely unplayable. Unpleasant for a lot of us sure.
