Assuming I get my points for today, I only missed one day out of 17! Thanks for the MC, PGI!

I had some really frustrating moments, mostly when my laptop freezes (GFX card is getting wonky) and I found myself walking my Mech right into the open for enemy "target practice". I also got really angry every time when I drop on Polar Highlands, and my team decides to walk across the open snowy plains (I7 area).

But all in all, this has been a simple event with good earnings!

Same. Cannot see tournaments page.

Seems to be fine off the front page... i didn't click the above link though, dunno if it routes differently...

They fixed it quickly. Forgot to post again after I found that.

I can tell you what went wrong, folks... the correct address is http://mwomercs.com/tournaments?t=201610playdaily and does NOT contain a "/" between "tournaments" and "?t="... Server doesn't like the extra directory treatment.

Well, i finally completed all challenges, a good occasion to grind Cataphracts, Blackjacks, Cicadas, and Zeus. My little LCT-PB did a lot of running, with a few games at 400+ damage, and i changed my UM-R63 loadout to a close range setup that allowed it to do a couple games at 541 and 571 damage (URBIE!!!).

I rarely say this but overall this has been a great event for a change. The rewards combined with the loyalty scheme should proove very fruitful indeed. So much so I even have a plan for tomorrow night just buying, selling, swapping and building things!

But can we space the events out a bit more please. Even though this has been one of the best ones.

To hell with the UrbanMech... it can't even use an ECM.

Oh poor old DV, I have rarely met a more irrational, selfentitled and incoherent forum-rambler than you, and I know your posts are usually to be taken with a few pinches snowshovels of salt, but EVEN FOR YOUR standards this is crossing the line!

~W.Z. "Seriously, don't cross that f#ckin' line Devy!" Willothius

Hmm... 3 words (irrational, selfentitled and incoherent) that don't describe me... And I definitely don't consider myself to be "Self-Entitled" either... Try not to use those words in regard to me in the future, please. I'm just another ForumWarrior with an honest, 'weighted in all directions' type of opinion.

BTW, we'll have to agree to disagree over the Urbie... I've tried to come up with builds that fit my playstyles (as in, anything but a "Squirrel-Grade Brawler"), only to be disappointed by the UrbanMech way too many times. Plus, I've been gunned down by them, but never able to actually make a kill on one. Knowing my luck, if I tried to pilot one, I would get flattened.

net outcome after 17 days (besides the 400MC, steins, and 8.075 million c-bills) is five more mechs mastered. Oh and my streak crow has enough XP now to insta-master it once I get my clan hero in a month.

Dude, THAT is my FAVORITE style for it! Slap on 3MPL and 3MGs and it's clobbering time!
Urby smash!!

P.S. Incoherent > regular walls of text; irrational > getting physically ill over a game? Sounds about right to me and selfentitled > probably not exactly the word I was looking for..
Anyways, it was all exaggerated for the pun; why so serious, gotta learn to relax, my friend!

Tell me someone knows the win:loss ratio for qualifying games …

[G3 Heathen]

It was a very profitable event. Now with the extra c-bills i can outfit my huntsman!

[ThomasAH]

I hope the counter didn't break on the last day: Only X for today, even though I have played some games before the full hour.
But it was a fun and profitable event, mastered my latest mechs (CTF-1X, CTF-2X and CPLT-BB) and had much fun with Oxide and 7xSRM6 Cyclops

[Wilhelm Kerensky]

I only wish we could've earned multiple copies of the rewards - I want 3 Urbanmech steins, one for each of my Urbies!

[D V Devnull]

Looking back at this Event, it was rather good, almost perfect. The only thing I would change, if I could change something, is allowing people to make up anything they missed on previous days, provided that they had completed the current day's challenge. Not everyone can output consistently, and shutting them out because a particular 24-hour period has passed just doesn't feel right to me. I'm sorry, it just doesn't, but I guess that's because I look at this from all the possible standpoints and angles. It's a game, people should be able to try until they're either 'blue in the face' or they succeed. It should always be fun, not hyper-easy, but filled with extra chances.

It took only 12/17 days to get all the cockpit items and 8/17 to get 400 MC.

Are you sure this thing wasn't fair?

[Luscious Dan]

Do we know when the rewards inject?

I assume this was directed towards me?

To answer your rather expansive question, it was basically fair in terms of the Cockpit Items and Reward requirement amounts, as you didn't have to push to the absolute limit to get all of it. It was fair in terms of all Pilots having the exact same Challenge Set rules.

However, the only thing that was not fair happened to be PGI being highly time-restrictive of when you could get the requirements completed, while providing no allowance for people to make up their losses. This therefore results in anyone with a situation that prevented them from being on every single day for a few hours to permanently lose something without any chance to get it in the first place. While the might not be such a big thing, I actually had to listen to someone's disappointment with having this exact problem affecting them, and they almost lost out on part of the Cockpit Items and Rewards. They barely scraped by into making the goal for those. Strangely, I understood where they're coming from, as I do look at things from every angle.

Like I said, PGI almost had a perfect Event setup. It seems they got as close to being totally fair as they could mentally manage, and I unfortunately discovered by listening to part of a Twitch stream earlier today (October 17th, 2016 ... Pacific Time Zone) that people at PGI don't quite have their brains running on full decks of cards.

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

I'm F2P, they're finally giving out MC in good amounts again, everything is good.

That's just me.

[Draal Kaan]

After coming back to MWO after long Break, this really is one good Event.
Thnx those MC!

[cybex]

Do i need to log into the game or some page to get my rewards injected? I have'nt been able to log in to the game yet. I just log into the challenge page and there's no point on my challenge list, it all empty. They got all erased I think. Not sure if it's after injecting my rewards or not because I haven't check my game yet

[ERescue]

@Cybex: The rewards that you have earned are injected once you log into the game.
