I really really liked the loot-bag event, it's not as stupid as supply-cache. I think however, the prize should be higher chance of better items with higher match score. Of course not 100%, not even 50%, but just higher.

It's also better if more events go like this.

It's extremely random. I literally cursed this event for the first couple of days, 'cause I got a ton of crap like consumables and small C-Bill packs out of the loot bags. But it improved greatly on Day 3 when I finally started getting a reasonable amount of MC, and even got one mechbay. Maybe PGI have indeed tweaked the odds in favor of the more desirable items, or maybe I just had a turn of really bad luck for the first two days.

My stats, with 23 loot bags opened in three days:
1) 165 MCs
2) 387.500 C-Bills
3) 1700 GPX
4) 2 cockpit items ( Halloween Skull Face and Halloween scared pumpking)
5) some consumables

Not bad for me...

I got mech bay, lots of consumables, probably 800000 CB, ... 250 MCs maybe -- it's kind of good. I'm grinding right now so i appreciate the CBills.

Got 19 lootbagts so far. Mostly C-Bill items or GXP, or consumables, and worse--the useless pumpkin heads. Not impressed, but I'll take the free stuff.

Rewards are good. This format is fun (scratch off game essentially).

I like loot bag style events, but I'm playing other games at the moment.

I might return once the Cyclops Mech is available for CBills.

Got extremely lucky yesterday, considering I'm always short on mechbays.

Last time was better as it was first 100 games, not 15 each day.

Yes, the randomness does add a bit of anticipatory excitement. I hope they do it at X-mas as well.

You're ALWAYS grinding here. I do like almost all mech and I have so few C-Bills :)

But potentially with this event you could get 120 loot bags (15 bags x 8 days).

Night before last I got the only thing I was really looking to get. The Zombie mech bobblehead. I was hoping it's eyes glowed brighter when you got a kill. That would have been extra sweet.

I got the Zombie 'Mech on my my 3d qualifying Game . That alone is enough of a price for me already .

I do appreciate all the other free stuff much, too, though . Big Thanks to PGI really, being very generous to me, just for playing the Game .

I got a warning about replies like this... Seriously. If I do a +1 I may get a forum ban....

On topic, this is maybe the most generous event ever. The loot bag and also MC reward challenge combined and the Terra Therma challenge on top, not to mention what Huntsmen owners are getting.

I ******* hate these lootbag events, honestly.

A 12-2 stomp is frustrating enough as-is, without the insult of getting 70 something match score.

Got 55 MC just from the grab bag so far. Won another 50 MC from a crate and the challenge MC combined its really adding up.

My quest for 500 mill to buy a dropship or jumpship some day is being helped along a lot as well.

I have not been doing all 15 per day though.
