Once again another Leaderboard Event that you should have to opt in for only 1 to 2 variants. I'm not sure why this is such a hard or unreasonable concept.

Hmm, despite owning the Cyclops, after careful consideration I think I'll bring a mech that isn't a Cyclops to this event. Don't really like a big bulls-eye painted on my mech. *

Is there an achivement for racking up the most games without getting a kill or even an assist while doing mediocre damage ?

You could give out little "Sucklops" badges....

I think ill opt out of another event to give Assault mechs an excuse to boat LRMs. Thanks for the invite though.

Cyclops Hunting Season!

Was hoping for a Cyclops Warhorn in this event considering I never got a single one during the past few grab bag events (got some c-bills and MC, can't complain too much) but getting a hanging item as a trophy for knocking out a Cyclops is a nice touch regardless.

Oh God no, not another event... At least I don't own Cyclops and won't be mercilessly hunted down. Beware of my 6spl Jenner Cyclops owners. o7

PS. It's not nice to give hell to people who gave you money (by buying Cyclops).

Lol.. You know.. You should have done this, when 8-10 Kodiaks were running around in every single match... That would be funnier.. Ah.. those poor Cyclops pilots... I am not sure, they will really enjoy this event..

[Cy Mitchell]

LOL. A bounty on the Cyclops!

Poor buggers in their new Mechs...

Is there any rhyme or reason why this (shorter) event does start Friday evening (Melbourne, AUS time), as opposed to the last one? I like events and all, but there's this thing out there called 'other things I do in life' which require attention as well. Help me out here will ya?

[Steve Pryde]

Time to take out my Mad Dog with six srm6

[ERescue]

@TheFourthAlly: What do mean by shorter? It lasts a week, as far as I can tell. As for the exact timing, I am guessing the need for the hotfix slightly altered the timetable.

[groves226]

Kinda surprised this started so close to the release

[Dee Eight]

I'm not, matt claims they don't repeat patterns but for mech releases and leaderboards they have every time this year.

[Hemholtz]

MORE FREE MC!

PGI is probably pitting the Cyclops against all other mechs to test for balance issues....hence the "leaderboard" events for new mechs.

[Dee Eight]

It has cut down on the number of cyclops.... before the event began... 3-5 per team...now...1-2 per team.

[Kael Posavatz]

What is needed is an event to get people engaged on the PTS. This can wait a week...but it won't.

I mean the time you'd need to finish most of these upcoming challenges seems a lot shorter to me than compared to the last event, which was for all four weight classes. The last event seemed to me to have lasted quite a bit shorter and iirc didn't even start on what for me would have been Friday evening, but closer to midnight.

This (Cyclops) event seems to need less overall playtime to achieve the given challenges, but gets more days to achieve it in and includes Friday evening in my timezone. The 4 weight class (weight of the world or something) event from last week did not. I thought that a bit of a shame.

[Stormbringer13]

I think they just gave the Chess Knight cockpit item away fro free.
I got the account injection for it, and am now equipping it in my mech, but I am not showing that I got a KMDD on a Cyclops on the event board.
I guess this is another PGI feature....
