I'm killing IS as Clans and the tournament is counting as if I'm IS fighting Clans.

Assuming this actually is more than a text error we'll end up getting a Zeus as clans instead of an Executioner.

I don't want a Zeus.

But dude, you can either get the God of poor hardpoint layouts or GIGANTOR the omnimech!

Though I'd go for the executioner so you can sell it for the cash.

Still better than the Victor.

Pox on you, PGI.

You know what would be real funny...

As soon as everyone accepts that the bug won't be changed. And half way through, you switched to get the other side... they fixed it.

*****!

....do you realize how easy it is you make a single coding typo that would cause this? Its probably one of two things, either 1) They mistyped and both sides are getting accredited for the IS side, or 2) the sides are flipped and IS are also getting counted towards clan challenge as well.

Either way, I repeat, do you know how easy it is to make that mistake? Its more than likely, literally, a single reference in the entire event coding that causes it, A SINGLE REFERENCE (aka word, i.e. clan, inner sphere, Cl, IS, whatever designation they use).

As someone who has been through coding classes, its a ridiculously easy mistake to make especially on a tight schedule with limited/no QA available. Your best response would have been to contact support and let them know so they could take care of the issue asap (or tweet russ, that seems to work pretty well...) but instead you came to the forums to post about it.

You probably won't get a Zeus, and its entirely possible that its actually a merc issues now that I see your alignment. There could be a glitch that aligns mercs with IS regardless of contract for the reward. It could be something as simple as a typo or even as complicated and far back as everything originally being lumped into IS/Clan and the event tracking not having been updated to reflect Merc contracts (not sure if freelancer can participate in the IS/Clan objectives).

Yes, if adherence to quality is not one of your primary goals.

What's wrong with the Zeus?
What's wrong with the Victor?

Everything.

Sub par JJs.

Sub par quirks.

Sub par hardpoints.

Sub par tube counts.

Sub par size (PGI didn't include it in the resizing--which is bolloks!)

It would've been upscaled... because... reasons/balance.
