Mah gawd, the MC.. ..it is everywhere.

[freud2b]

you can extend a little event ? thank you in advance

[Piero Cruz]

I promise to play for hours straight if they extended for 2 more days or even 1!

[Elrik Stormbringer]

I don't understand all these people asking for extensions or complaining how hard it will be to get the faction play parts done. This isn't the type of challenge where you have to obtain X amount of Y to win Z. It is a simple loot bag event. For every match you play with a minimum score you get a lottery ticket. You get rewarded for every match that qualifies, it's not like the other challenges where you only get a reward when you have made X amount of wins. Just be thankful they did an event (with way better grand prize than last loot bag event) and wait for the next event.

Thank you for running another event PGI. I did pretty horrible this week, but still snagged the grand prize and some good war horns and mc.

Heads-up to PGI... This event needs extending, what with the June 21st Map Debacle. That was at least 24 to 36 hours of time lost for many reasons to many people.

Looks like it fell on deaf ears.. 98 dips in the bag.. no Grand prize for me..

[Delta1262 Scorch]

Well yeah, i really like this kind of events the most, but this time due to work, update and other stuff i almost missed it, only got 19 points in Pub games and that's it.
It would be great to see the extension, but it's up to PGI.

Final Review for 2016 SSLBE ---

Checked my loot bag right on the end of the Initial Finish of this event. I got 57 Loot Pulls, and probably would have been more if I hadn't been having to fight with that altered map making me sick, nauseous, dizzy, and throughly disoriented. I may have gained the Grand Prize, which I can't argue with, as I needed a Mech Bay. But, I didn't get some of the others I wanted (specifically WarHorns) due to the lost time and awful trudging kicking me in the face. PGI really needed to extend this event after hurting a fair chunk of their player base rather horribly, and their not doing so has stated something rather negative to their overall character. PGI is going to have to be watched in the future, because changes to things like the MiniMap should have been tested on the PTS long before coming to the primary server network.

well after 12 scouting matches I got 3 more loots... took 4-5 hours too. That mode sucks. Cant imagine there are to many people keen on it but to each their own i guess.

These event do invigorate my interest in the game but all too often I find Im frustrated by the end of them. I hope they can be adjusted to make a more pleasant and rewarding experience for casual players.

I like it

[Dee Eight]

There's a leaderboard event coming this weekend... stop complaining.

[p4r4g0n]

You got a chance to get freebies for doing nothing more than play as you normally would.

A little bit of appreciation would not hurt regardless of the fumble with the mini map.

Thanks PGI.

P.S. Please do consider testing in PTS before rolling out changes that drastically affect game play and do not introduce half a feature while the balance is still in development. We have been through stuff like this in the past with the introduction of ECM before the release of BAP, etc. At least back then, it could have been excused since it was still under Beta and there was no PTS.

SWEET! ;D For info's sake, here's my tally.

Quick Play (23/100)
Faction Play (Invasion and Counter Attack) (8/35)
Faction Play (Scouting) (10/15)

So yeah.. ;D I'd like to see these grab bag events last longer than a week. #playtime

Well, I would say the justification for an extension would be to make up for the day and a half that the game was essentially unplayable because of Russ's little fixation on WoT with the minimap. Since he has not got the balls to apologize (at least not in the forums) he could at least have the grace to extend the event that was disrupted by his idiot choice. But that would also mean he would have to acknowledge that on his precious minimap, he was not only wrong, but HORRENDOUSLY WRONG! And he does not have the balls to do that.

[Ancih]

88 quick play and 3 scouting, no grand prize... damn no luck for me I guess. Still wished they would extend it 24h because dunno terribad minimap since tuesday but looks like they won't. Oh well... :/

[Dee Eight]

The game was never unplayable except for poorly skilled players who'd rather complain than adapt their thinking/tactics. I seriously hope none of them are folks the world depends on to think/react quickly to events like pilots or first responders or doctors and nurses. It took me a whopping six games to adjust to the new minimap.

[LightningStorm]

WOW omg i won a grand prize, yay!! i was hardly able to play this event because i'm busy trying to move my home, but i played some games, and i just logged in to check if i had any rewards not taken, and there it was, the button that turned out to be the grand prize i wasn't expecting that
