Yeah and PGI is Canadian. And its not like theres any Canadian holiday going on this weekend. Not like some special day for Canadians... You know like some kind of holiday similar to the 4th of July but celebrating Canada...Like a Canada day or something...



Actually.......I can't tell if you are joking or not but we have Canada Day on July 2nd, US has July 4th, which coincidentally straddle this coming weekend rather nicely.

Not that it matters....this event will drag some into FW for the rewards, but most likely not I unless a few friend coerce me. It will give a temporary boost to FW nothing more.

Just one week seems a bit short for all those goals...

Canada day is on July 1.... always has been, always will be, so long as Canada is around at least...

Me, I'm looking forward to be off this Friday.

I think the event is fine for the 4th, but they need to perform a hotfix so that all lasers fire red, white, and blue beams, all autocannon shells burst on impact like firework mortar shells, all missiles should make loud whistling sounds as they fly, and PPCs should get a Roman candle sound effect upon firing.

That, and all non-americans should be blocked from using the NA servers because they are not free enough to use our stuff.

10 FP wins will be the hard one to achieve, if you consistently come up against large premades.

The answer is to never defend if you are in a pickup group. We all know that premades prefer to attack because attacking can get you territories but defending cannot.

So, if you want to avoid premades then focus on attacking and never defend.

Is that the reason why there is no planet available to attack for the IS?

Premades in the part of the game designed primarily for premades?

The irony is that I will be around. I can play the event. THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.

I want their FP events to have lots of participation to keep PGI motivated to improve Faction Play. I want PGI to wait, because I like FP, and I want them to get positive feedback that players will play FP.


How are 4% of the worlds population relevant to event planning?

It's gonna take a lot more than an event to get me to play FW again. That's how terrible FW is. I won't even do it for free stuff.

I'd guess Wang is not a very popular japanese surname either.


Wang is Chinese for "King", the pilot of the Yen Lo Wang was Kai Allard Liao who had Chinese ancestry. The rising sun camo was the symbol of the Solaris stable that Kai fought for.
