Injections fixed, now worked as usual.

[DGTLDaemon]

Ah, finally - first injection So it's working, just taking a lot longer than usual. Took about an hour and a half for me.

Just got my first reward injection as well, within about 15 to 20 minutes of when I had earned it. It sounds to me like somebody at PGI had to fix the servers again in the background.

Well, for the first time in my MWO career, I'm gonna say: THANK YOU, PGI, with no "ifs" or "buts" attached I'm gonna enjoy every second of this event, savoring it as the last breath of sweet air before the new bullsh*t energy draw system goes live and destroys MWO as we know it. Let's have fun, everybody, it may very well be our last chance!

Because a system that works like Ghost Heat except more lenient is totally going to destroy the game. Clearly, you've not spent any time on the PTS.

Cool event, but... supply caches plz... why u do this PGI?!
Me and my boyfriend got the SAME supply cache (valuable prizes: jenner, mechbay, cockpit items), aaand BOTH OF US won the same prize: AMS.
Same thing happened with another supply cache, we had the SAME supply cache, both of us got NARC. Lol.
I thought that this was pre-programmed or something (like the button opening / trick or treat events), but please, dont make this so obvious.
Yeah, sooo "random". Wont buy keys, 1000% sure.

[Dee Eight]

Light challenges took 11 matches, mediums 14, starting heavies next.

Why does FW not get any love during these events. I can see not being included in the leaderboards. But SERIOUSLY you want people to play that game mode than let them get the free things.

[3rdstorm]

Generous rewards and realistic hurdles. This will definitely encourage me to play this weekend. thanks. More like this and less hair pulling FW events please.

[Dee Eight]

Because FW is the least popular game mode to MWO, and they're trying to attract new players, not drive them away. I'd rather run the tutorials in the academy or test out builds in testing grounds than play a FW match.

Agreed, FW needs more events or to be included in these events too!

[SovietArmada]

SOVIET! You're still around!

[Insufficient Skill]

So, matchmaker been deactivated again? Either it's a 12-1/2 stomp or half the team is already challenged looking at the minimap and hitting the w key at the same time.

It's almost as bad as in the assault event last weekend, just a different kind of 'tardiness. Instead of LRM-dimwits, we now have 90% safe-potshotters happily letting the rest of the team get rolled and then cry when they face the full opposing force.

Please PGI, turn on the matchmaker again. And get rid of the PSR as it is now. De-bias it so that just playing often but mediocre gets you to a higher tier than you derserve to be in.

FWIW, I don't deserve to be in Tier 1 either.

Actually I think they left the matchmaker on and set as regular, THAT"s why its an all-weights event... team makeups look just like regular non-event days. I just finished a match, our team had 4 assaults, 4 heavies, 2 mediums and 2 lights. Pretty typical mix in my experience.

This event can be finished in less than 2 hours, then go to the PTS.

[RavenKnight86]

Damn this event really punishes bigger groups going against a spread of smaller groups. When you have 7-9 players in your group and run up against 7-9 assaults (for real I've had multiple games where this has happened) then as a group you really have to tryhard to win. Guess I'll be pugging it up this weekend instead of playing with my friends.
