As Claner no club is needed. You can drop without weapon and ammo... [Long Tom] will do the job... CW is great :-(

Thats funny cause the only time I see long tom is when a match goes over ceasefire time and the planet owner gets insta long tom.

If you dont like long tom, try dropping on another planet or do scouting, if that doesnt do it for you, leave your unit and give your place to someone who actually wants to fight.

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.

Does that mean a mercenary contract isnt enough? You need to be pledge to a faction as a LOYALIST?

And I can give nothing on your opinion.
Seems to be the best option.

I expect to receive nothing from you then.

Last Faction War event was so enraging and frustrating I quit playing for over a month. So for my sanity Ill be passing on this. alas, missing out on rewards is a shity feeling

[unwary]

Requirements look way too casual, looks more like participation awards

[MovinTarget]

Unless you are really skilled with a light, just drop in a centurion (ac20, srms) or a griffin (all srms), form a mini deathball and brawl them.

Maybe you won't win, but you'll get your points.

Man, have I got news for you then. It's simply far off from being casual at all. PGI forgot once again to award Match Score for Intel Collection. This event is going to be another damned 'pressure cooker' to get through. No way 6 days is going to cut it for me, and I'm still working on Scouting after only having 3.5 hours of battle time. I'm probably only going to succeed in getting one of the two Grand Prizes, directly due to PGI's unreasonable time limits and unwillingness to reward for actually doing the Scouting Mode's Intel Gathering work. PGI simply still doesn't understand what a Scouting Mode is supposed to be. A gathering team doing the work right is NEVER supposed to engage or be noticed. This game is NOT 'brawlwarrior', after all. THIS IS MECHWARRIOR, and PGI needs to get off their mentality of "force everyone to brawl, screw the objectives" and begin coding things right for a change. Brawling is NOT all one does with Mechs, and the other battle roles are simply NOT getting the love they deserve. Who knows now if I'm even going to get to touch Invasion and get anything done there...

Sadly, if you don't win, you can't get the Grand Prize either. Victory is crucial, but it will also be mentally crucifying.

I am not saying you won't win, but rather you stand a better chance of winning by brawling it out than finessing vs clams.

And 50 match points is much more attainable.

[MovinTarget]

By my count were are only losing scouting on ONE planet out of FIVE...

[White Bear 84]

Well it is nice to see PGI have made the incentives easier, like match score of 80 for invasion, I almost fell out of my seat!

I might be tempted to have a crack, albiet have all of these mechs so would be to make an additional bunch of c-bills selling clan tech. Might use that to buy some IIC mechs to finish my collection off.

Yet more proof that PGI didn't design Scouting Mode right. Scouting should be stealth, a cloak-and-dagger affair where engagements are never initiated by the attacking team. But oh well, PGI got stupid and thought that the only way you should earn is to kill, not to perform the objectives. This is NOT supposed to be 'brawlwarrior', but instead the MECHWARRIOR that it actually is titled as.

I have all the mechs sadly.

selling MDD-Prime and NVA-Prime gives good cbills though!

I will grant you that its not terribly balanced in the sense that the extremes can win; (i.e. brawl enemy to death and ignore intel until then or go super stealth and NEVER fight, waiting until the last minute to run into drop zone) and only one is rewarded, however, it feels like the one that gets rewarded actually involves sides interacting. I don't think one side would find it fun if the other side plays pure avoidance. I get what you are saying, emphasizing stealth, but that would make more sense if scouting were vs NPC's, not players... which wouldn't be so terrible if PGI wanted to test their AI, scouting would be a great place to try it.

But as it is, if PGI were to reward pure stealth, clams would be crying "4 man Pirate's Bane team OP"

Waitwarrior Online right now...

15 minutes+ for a match...

Still counting up...

And then 6 of the team disconnects when we started counting down.

No, I'm not buying a Mech Pack, PGI! Not until you fix your damn client!

...I got a feeling they'll extend this...I hope they do. Given the long match wait times and the server's instability, I hope they give us more time. :/

No MC and of course no mechbays in the prize pool... If this was quick play i would play anyway so the prizes would be a great bonus, but in CW? too much work for too little in return, no thanks.

EDIT: Really? NARC enhancement module? lol

A Night of playing CW i manage 3 match. If that meant i played 3 match of 1h15m i wouldnt mind but it just mean i waited. For those who dont know, waiting is time wasted.

The second FP-event after Long Tom and the second event that will take place without me.
First round lost the first tree mech because of artillerie. As long as long tom is in this game i will ignore FP.

This it is. Long Tom is a Bad joke

A great man once said: "I want to see more brawl!"

IIRC, he said that few days before the patch, when they removed turrets from the Assault mode.
And the audience clapped and cheered after his words...
