Thanks for the sale!

This event sounds like a terrible idea. Isn't the queue just going to be medium mechs lol? sounds well thought out.

I feel like the Hunchback 4SP and Griffin 3M are gonna get the nerf bat after this event...

Also cries of clan OP because the Nova and Stormcrow will outclass people that drop in Cicadas, Kintaros, Shadowhawks, Trubuchets, and Vindicators :/

Thanks for the free stuff though <3

Nice, I've been playing a disproportionate number of games in mediums lately so this is well timed as I try to get more of them mastered up. UAC5 Shadow Hawk may shred some people this weekend.

[Kuritaclan]

Only MC for the Top 5 Players of a Mech? Thats so hohoho.

[AngrySpartan]

Hmm, no MC rewards for personal challenge this time? Won't bother than. MC & MC purchasable things like mechbays and colors were the only thing worth playing these events. No point to earn everything else than you have more mechs than you can play.

Starting to hate this new trend: first no mechbays for prizes, no sales, now this.

Nonetheless, have fun everyone, who will play the weekend!

The last FP challenge had 2 mechbays if you completed both Scouting and Invasion and sold the prize mechs.

They will override the queue so it will take more mediums.

Gonna be a fun free for all.

Is it just me or have these personal challenges been getting easier and easier?

Pre-Review, 2016-07-15 "Medium Mech Madness" Event ---

PGI, you almost had a perfect event setup again here... What did you miss? A tiny pittance of to reward to those folks who put some dedication into the event by simply just playing. Please, think about placing 20 up for just "30 Matches Played" on the Personal Challenge section before this event can start. Just including this would cause higher player presence during the event, [Redacted] Never forget a good reward just for the annoying grind that can happen.

As for the LeaderBoard section, we'll definitely find out who the most bloodthirsty pilots are. At least for once, PGI, you actually did well on your choice of what Mechs are enabled to battle for the rewards. I'll have to see if I can sink my Shadow-covered capabilities into any opponents that I face. Enemy pilots, prepare to have a really bad day. I will be there simply to ensure it.

Looks like I'm on time for this...

Just got word my computer is coming home from seriously needed upgrade that was long overdue. This will be a nice way for me to get back into the mix. Hell, I'll run my Phoenix Hawks just for this.

[D V Devnull]

Okay, I see a little post catch-up is needed...

I know, right? They totally missed the 20 for simply grinding 30 rounds so more people would be in on this event. Maybe even a Free Mech Bay for completing the whole list.

Of course, that doesn't account for if you could actually want/use the Mechs that were earned. But, there was the Free Mech Bay if you were lucky from random draws in the Summer Solstice Loot Bag Event before that. However, it is still somewhat of a face-slap to not have Mech Bay Sales or at least a minor pittance of just for grinding this event. Hopefully PGI will reconsider and add a minor pittance reward before the event begins?

Yeah, PGI did set things a little easy this time, but I'm not going to go nuts over that. What does annoy me however is that PGI didn't set enough rewards to maintain active player retention on this event. Many will pick up the basic stuff, and then leave because they're done. This will unfortunately hurt the players who were bloodthirsty enough to keep going for the LeaderBoard for All Medium Mechs, instead of providing the proper battle queueing and situation by having a large-enough player pool. (If I try to sink in on the LeaderBoard, I'll probably be affected as well, but that's somewhat beside the point I'm making.)
