Oh - good event ... but... why we need to play 15 scouting matches to earn reward, but 20 victories to earn another? May be vice versa?

Scouting match scores req's dropped by almost 50%

Its almost like they listened!



Ok you seasoned vets, you are going to drop with pugs and noobs. Deal with it, try to make them better, it is to your benefit.

20 scouting victories vs. streak crows... oh boy. That's a lot. Here's to the ecm locust meta.

Stuff I want in the Invasion side. You knaves!

Smells like a test to see if Clan VS IS only could work out.

I gonna skip this one.

I already got the K2 and a Mad Dog is not worth switching faction over. Oh well.

Awesome pics/ art for the event announcement!

Just to clarify:

Quote

If your Faction does not have a direct Attack Lane against the opposing side, you must use the Call To Arms system to fill the ranks for critical Clan vs. Inner Sphere battles.

Surely if you don't have Clan vs IS border and your group chooses a Clan vs IS defense the regular way, those qualify too? The way the quote is worded, only call to arms would count, and that's just stupid.

I have all the mechs. The bays are nice but it's like $2 per so meh.

[Paitr aConn]

Pass. Thanks though. Fw isnt fun enough for the paltry rewards. Faction play needs changes. For the love of god, LET SOUTHERN HOUSES ATTACK THE CLANS! Im not playing skittles defense and o ly defense. I want some reason to play, and only being able to defend against clans is not fun.

CW is a joke. And it's excruciating if you're on a fragmented team versus a 10-12 man. I'm not sure how they could do it. But mech limits would be nice. As in no more than 2 or 3 Stormcrows at one time. You know...make people actually rely on true tactics and not meta-builds.

[Groutknoll]

hmm ... I still think that a ghost drop should count as a victory point, or min match score for both scouting and invasion for these events. Because even with a loss most people can make the needed match score.

Waiting 10mins for the other side to not show and not getting the min needed match score .... bleh

You don't need to flip. The rules say that Clan players can still redeem a K2, and IS players can redeem a Mad dog if they want to.

Oh good. Finally I might get to try the Dog. Let's hope I won't get bored to death before all the rewards are earned.

[Sigmar Sich]

Well.. somehow i'm not sober today, so i will play it.

Yup!

If you want *any* of the 4 you don't have to faction hop!

Don't forget that even if you don't need any of the rewards, this is a great time to grind your LP or Merc points and the queues should be decent.

[Jman5]

Always glad to see you guys do Faction Play events. It's just too bad you guys couldn't do something to better help the Marik/Liao/Davion players.

Remember that MWO FW reflects the Battletech universe. Cant just invent new weapons or change the map etc
