Thanks for the event BUT it has one bad thing to do - all those wins are much more harder to do then any other parts. Much, much more. Our dear devs did great way with those events, but still got one, for me last, problem - on every event we have a lot of easy to do things and one super hard. That's not good IMHO. And, as always, and I'm ok with it, this even will be very hard to do as solo player with 2-3 hours to play per day.

IMHO those required wins need to be put down to 15 and 7 instead 20 and 10. But anyway - thanks for the event. Even when CW balance is in other universe that called 'dev's mind'

Ok just wasted 2 hours for 2.5 inv drops - 1 ghost one and one real. It's going to be 2 games in 2 hours... Great. Just great. 4 hours of playtime today - 1 ghost drop, 1 win and 1 lose, all of those in invasion, IS side. GG PGI.

How do i supposed to compleet FP chalenges if there are no matches because of this Long Tom??!! It wipes out a whole lance of fresh meches!!! No wonder nobody wants to play against enemy with Long Tom! It is auto win. Pffffffffff
I'm considering to stop playing MWO its just headache, disappointing and wasting time!!! i really don't know what else to say because everyone above already said what i wanted to say.
CANCEL LONG TOM IT IS DISTROYING THE GAME.......

[unify82]

Also, there are no much Invasion in most planets when I play, only one planet active, clan has everything and long tom... how is it possible to close the event if there are no matches happening

Congrats to all who have completed this challenge! It is just sad that the game does not allow that to all player... I have been playing since the start of the challenge and still can't complete one of the two parts as the game will not allow the IS mechs to die and give us any victories and since the challenge started I have had only 16 victories... and those was by staying away from the fight and hope the IS with their super OP weapons don't single shot your legs with their "cant miss" weapons...

This is by far one of the worst experiment PGI has ever done... It is so ironic, I don't have to refuse to complete this challenge cause the game is preventing it all by itself...

You forgot to end your post with "/sarcasm"

At least both sides are whining now...


What can't miss weapons does IS have? Streak 2s and LRMs? Pretty sure clams have those and more...

Ugh i am going to get really salty with BOTH sides unless y'all put your big boy pants on, try to play to win WITH REALISTIC BUILDS, and cut the whining.

[GingerViru5]

A nice idead to have a faction war event but the challenges are unreasonable. It'll take longer than 7 days to complete all of it. So we'll have to choose. complete scout or invasion.

[Commander A9]

All done, both phases!

Have a full-time job, so I don't get much time to play...but partner up with a good team, and you're gold!

What a bs event. Play like 20 might win one or two. 4 streak crows vs light and medium thanks pgi for showing us yet again you can not do something as simple as a scout mission right.

Don´t be to harsh on PGI ... 4 Streak ( Skill ) Crows can be beaten real easy ... Just bring in Griffins and Shadowhawks, or Hunchbacks and shoot those Crow legs

[Karl Marlow]

So since excluding factions in event is apparently a thing now can the next event be IS vs IS only?

finally, both grand prize, phew

WOW how did you manage that played 22 invasion games with only 6 wins. play last 2 days with out a win yet.
So GZ mate.

[Dee Eight]

I think the total damage and total match score goals are a bit lofty. I just played a game that was fun, clock ran out with 24 to 30 as the kills. Only one of our team broke 4 digit damage (with 2k), most were 400-800 range. Similar on the other winning team, I think three of them were in quadruple digits for damage. Everyone hit the 80 minimums but imagine just how many invasions you have to play JUST to hit 5000 total 80 at a time or 25k damage 600 at a time. I figure at the pace I'm going I'm going to need 32 total to get to the mad dog. I'm at 19 now with 8 being wins. I hit the Cbills, XP and KA goals yesterday.

That 2N is a bit slow for my tastes... I am currently running a 3M with srm4s and a XL355 so the only thing that can truly get away (i.e. is 150kph+) is a max/near max engine jenner

The only thing you have to be careful about is being initially faster than your team... if you run 4 of these, you can really react/intercept quickly.

Oh, and the 3M is tanky as all... +12/+13 structure to every component. If they are spreading damage, it makes you even harder to kill...

True, but I still prefer the 2N. 2N with ECM is very good against StreakCrows. Moreover, 2N has a more symmetrical build for SRMS and I find it better for aiming.
My 2 cents.

Gee, says a livestreamer who can sit in front of their computer 100% of the time. Here with real life, the fact that drops are coming very slow for me, and the awful fact of players who can't get their [bleep] together that the system stupidly puts me with, I'm repetitively getting blown to the sidelines. Add on top of this that PGI has actively bounced my login, while I was launching into a match, crashing the client on my end, and I'm ending up with pre-ruined matches that the matchmaker then adds insult to injury of time wasted by PGI's failures. After a grand total of about 8 to 9 hours of battle time, I've also had to deal with the active blockage from being able to play caused by real life over the USA July 4th weekend. I've been forced to realize due to PGI's bad timing, and failed allowance for needed time, that I simply never had the ability to get the Grand Prizes, WarHorns, and a few other things now. Then hearing that you think I haven't put in enough effort, when I've already been fighting 'tooth and nail' for anything and everything, just makes me want to punch you in the face.

Hell, now I can see that this game has finally degraded too far to be able to save it. To all you elitist jokes, I can finally tell you with a clear conscience... GO TO HELL!!!

Like a fellow poster already mentioned, the clans have the "better" can't miss weapons (Lurms and Streaks). But they are still not good weapons to bring.

Now if both sides complain, balance can't be so bad.

What most players need to understand, you can't play any faction games, neither scouting nor invasion as a rookie or casual.

You need to use meta-strong builds in scouting, because there is no team to carry you along. Also game time is rather short, so no time to cool down or take time to aim. You already have to be good to be successful here.

In invasion, there is no place for guys who shoot the door in their trial mechs, because the don't have four mechs yet. How often have a seen a green painted mech shooting the barrels of the gun and then complaining how broken this mode is.
Invasion and scouting are endgame content, and while i can understand the the noobs also want to get a shiny new mech out of this challenge, you must understand this is not meant to be for you.

So stay away from faction play until you have a dropdeck of four fully mastered mechs. Use a meta-build on everyone of them, put in all the modules and then you can start playing faction warfe. Until then, it is just frustration for all of you tier 4 and 5 guys. Save yourself the time and accomplished players the pain of loosing the hundreds time in a row when you don't now what to shot from where.

It's not the fault of PGI, it is not broken programming, it is not ****** balance that is to blame.

It

is

just

you!


If you want casual gaming, hop into quickplay.

This event has taught me it's almost impossible to win an invasion game solo queue. Every game nothing but tier 5 work boat players

Well, if you consider that, at best, you can do two invasions per hour, that's 24 hours you passed on the game for invasion... At best you can hope do three scouting missions, so it's 21 more hours. You seem to have played 45 hours in all... I believe you have nothing else to do?
