For me, being solo pug gamer, any faction play event is a good thing- need to get that galaxy commander III one day :D

Not going to comment nova event rewards, since I'm personally not a supporter (got back to playing after a rather long break)

As a solo non-comms pugger, passing due to Faction Play.


You sir are an anachronism. A throw back to days of land line and dial ups. I salute you! It is challenging indeed to ignore the complete and total social aspects inspired by deeply dependent team based game play.

These are the Standing and Warhorn items from the recently removed Regional finalist supporter packs.
everyone was refunded for those purchases.
Perhaps you think these are the original items? they are not.

These Items are in the game and we are giving them away during this event.


Thank you for the clarification :)

Keep in mind there are a number of other reasons why many of us choose to not play aside from the singular social/unit aspect..... ;)

Even if it is the Tournament Supporter pack that was sold for $10, no where does it say that those items would be exclusive to the people that bought the Supporter Pack. I looked at the announcement page, looked at the ad and watched the video over. It was never stated that these would be exclusive items. People have jumped to that conclusion.

I did purchase the Pack and paid my $10. I did it to supporter the tournament and for the 10% EXP and C-Bill bonus.

If someone can show me where it says those items would be exclusive to those that bought the pack then I can see where some anger may be justified. Otherwise...................................................


I don't care much either way ...

However, it seems a bit wrong to offer a "2016 WC Tournament Supporter" item as a prize in a challenge that has nothing to do with supporting the WC.

I think it is just another example of bad messaging on the part of PGI. If they had called it the tournament mascot or symbol that folks could then display if they wanted to indicate their support for the tournament then there would probably be limited complaints.

However, the way they have worded it makes it sound like it is an item that should be handed out to folks who support the tournament rather than something folks can display to show their support for the tournament.

As someone who until a few days ago was a merc in a 1 man unit, but is now a Loyalist, it annoys me that the IS folk don't get to have free stuff like the mercs AND clan loyalists do....

Also, doesn't this mean all the everyone that can be will be on the clan side for the freebies? (yes, there will be enough, "Another warhon? chuck it on the pile..." players but that isn't all of us.)

Just, seems unfinished and hurried??

Not to say I don't appreciate a faction event, because YES but still...

<edit>
Seen event page, whinge about unfairness on IS loyalists retracted, replaced with whinge about unfairness to all loyalists. :D

/me goes and buys a crab.

So the question for me is:
Is this hooter worth buying a Crab?
Last time I was looking at it I decided against it, already possessing a mastered Hunch-P. Same weight and also med lasers.
Does the Crab add a new playstyle over this one?

Edit:

Oh, in case someone didn't notice:

It's the Crab for IS!

I find it appropriate. "Ember" could have been a nice pun, too, but the Crab is the closest IS equivalent to the Nova.
And I really wouldn't want to be forced to play some underperforming Firestarter against Streakcrows in Scouting.

I don't understand how playing some FP matches makes you a Tournament Supporter...

Forget it... never mind. I just don't care about all the cockpit clutter that's accumulating in my mechbay.

I didn't mind the crab, might rebuy one of them just for this event since I do like scout mode. The crab is like any 50 tonner though, don't expect it to be a heavy.

I like FP events and I like free MC so yay for that!

Sadly I won't get any of it. I know today that I can't play on next friday and saturday so I won't be able to complete 6 days. The previous events where a bit more "forgiving" in that you could earn at least a part of the MC.

maybe you could give 50 per 2 days/points and 150 when you get all 6? Then you could give some incentive to players like me who can't play in all next 6 (of only 7) days.
