Not sure I'll pick up any lights that are on sale (have the ones I really like already) but I may take a run at the Raven leaderboard. The old 4X never disappoints. Still wish it had the old 30% energy range buff for effective wubbage at mid-long range, but that's long gone.

I *might* pick up some cheap lights for my alt account, just whatever is cheap.

Thank You changed your mind. 50MC may seem little but and always good to know who like to think about it.

[Aethermech]

Time to break out the Jenner packs again I wonder how many lights were can get into a queue at the same time. Gonna be a blast to see marauding light packs gang banging anything poor mechs they come across.

Pre-Review, 2016 July/August "Lights Fight Leaderboard and Personal Challenge Event" ---

Well, here I am again, so let's see what we've got.

<*checks Time Limits, Personal Challenges, and the Rewards*>

Well, I'm surprised. This time, I really can't complain about the event at all. In my opinion, PGI has finally made an Event that gets a Perfect Review from me, because it's not lacking anywhere. It has enough time provided for the Personal Challenge part of the Event. The Requirements to beat each part of the Personal Challenge look proper and reasonable within the Time Limits that have been provided. To complete the puzzle, PGI has provided Rewards equally fitting of each of the Personal Challenge's various parts. There are zero faults here, as far as I'm concerned. To PGI, I say this... Please maintain the formula for the Personal Challenges from this Event in future events of this type, for you have finally done it right.

As for me, I'll just simply see you all out on the battlefield.

Even though I do find the LeaderBoard part of this kind of Event to usually be a tad bloodthirsty, I'll probably try to take a swing at some point anyway. BTW, I'm going to bypass any kind of review for the LeaderBoard part of this Event exactly because of both that bloodthirstiness, and the fact of those having been locked in a certain formula for too long now. Those are simply supposed to be knock-down, drag-out, all-hell-bent-loose contests.

When did the forums start to get unofficial 'Yelp style' reviews of events?

Looks like this weekend may be a bad weekend for assaults....

Better invest in stocks for streak missile manufacturers

[freud2b]

Thanks for the event , it's very good to have more events


but .......always always always no sale mech bay , you will not understand, it blocks the game dynamism : no mechbay = no purchase of new mech (for c -bill or Mc ) = less motivation = less player

[-Ramrod-]

So when are we going to have to opt in for 1 variant? Instead of the same people winning top prize for 476094658 mechs/variants. You know...let others have a chance to win. Yes you have to earn it...but I think it would create more competition if you could only focus on 1 variant. That's what I do. I refuse to go "omdfglksdjgfljak I got to winz0rz everything! git gud! me me me me me!" It's hurting the community and people are too f**kin' self-entitled to realize it. I see no problem in letting others have a fair chance to win. Flame me if you want but I really don't give a god d*mn.

Getting into top 75 is pretty doable for a good player and that's a bunch of free consumables at least. Top 50 isn't that hard either. Anywayz good luck everyone and remember to leg the skillcrows.

[Zmflyin]

Is this a means to collect data on the chassis's?

I'm not a fan of these weight class leader-board events because the que becomes flooded with whatever class and the game play becomes a bit wonky.

I like the new progress status bar on the challenge goals.

[Mechwarrior0155422]

Only your best 10 matches over the course of the event will be counted toward the Leaderboard.''

10 matches for every type or for the all the mech?

Edited by J Belleau, 28 July 2016 - 05:25 PM.

[Dee Eight]

10 best matches for each mech model, any variant.

I will do all the locusting in a bane for example, but i could do it in my 1E(C) just as well. But I figure extra cbills is better than extra XP in an already master unlocked mech.

[Krucilatoz]

Time to bring out streak-boat from hangar.

We'll going to see who's playing for lights,
and who's become hunter.

9x S-SRM-2 on Archer ? anyone have it? and with Firecontrol to make missile spam

[Prototelis]

So far I love this.

Been in a couple of games where a light swarm early in the game put my team in position to win despite heavy losses on our part.

I don't think I'm really all that good and I made It up into the top50 on one of the leaderboards.

[G SE7EN7]

Ah good only need to play 10 rounds this week.

[Dee Eight]

I'll play as many matches as it takes to score 10 wins in each mech model in a session, then move onto the next model. I'm also going to put in 1st day bonuses on every other mech I own that still needs to be master unlocked, regardless of weight class.

[TheCharlatan]

I forsee complaints about lights (both being OP and UP), and streaks (both being OP and UP), and ACH (just being OP).
