my only problem with this event is the match score challenge. 500 match score is rediculous It's doable yes but 80% of most matches no one hits that number. 350 would of been far more reasonable.

[Audacious Aubergine]

It's cumulative over a whole day, so assuming you don't get spit roasted in the first thirty seconds then it should be reasonable to finish it in three games or so?

*SIGH* They're at it again I liked the mechtoberfest but i'm glad it's finished now and now you wan't to plough straight into another Rambo fest.

I say again space these damn events out more it's getting daft now...Well more daft than normal.

[Destoroyah]

Ah well if it does add up over multiple matches I retract my complaint. While I have got a personal best of 660ish the stars had to align for me on that match, though my average is about 225-300.

GReat event!!!!

Look at it this way, they're announcing all these events BEFORE they begin... and now everyone knows the event schedule for the rest of the month. And accept for the leaderboard and loot bag portions (which happen over seperate 6 day blocks), they all run concurrently with one another. So for those of us who will be mastering our huntsman variants... we're gonna be hitting all our daily event goals just as part of our grind excercise we were already going to be doing. I just hope folks read the start date/time properly... patch happens in 4-5 hours...but the events don't begin for 11 hours.

Uhm... Loot Bag is supposed to be eight days, right?

Awesome event idea! Looking forward to some loot bags. =)

[VendingMachine]

Zombie Mech for a grand prize is kinda disappointing = /

[Groutknoll]

for these loot bag events that are tied to a min match score and a max number of pulls I think PGI should make a slight change ...

set it so that you could earn multiple pulls per match, so that if you had a fantastic match you do get rewarded for it but not exceeding the max per day/per event

so say min qualifying is 80 for 1 pull, but at 160/180 you get 2 pulls then 280/300 you get 3 pulls and so on

Check your time zone... It should be starting in 4 hours, 19 minutes.

Well there goes any chance for social events.

What would a social event be?

I'm envisioning mechs sync dancing and clan mechs in a circle toasting the Huntsman?

That would be pretty awesome. Maybe LB10Xs shooting confetti or something? I have no idea what that means either.

Anyway if social events meant forcing people into the group queue, I don't know if that would be a good event. Group queue can be a scary place for casual players.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

So the event is not live yet? We have 24 hour clock in my country and I'm a little bit unfamiliar with how certain times are.


Like 12.01 AM in UTC time. Is it right after midnight (in UTC timezone) or after noon?

OK guys ingame said it's after midnight, so the event will start soon. The confucion is from the event page which doesn't say AM or PM for the PDT timezone.

I really, really, really hope the Jack O' Lantern Warhorn features an evil spooky laugh.

Aside from that, this event looks fun. It has something for everyone. Even those who refuse to try Nova Therma (New TT) can still get the MC reward, and including both a Huntsman Leaderboard and a Hunt-the-Huntsman event is a great idea.
