Question, (Off the top of my head, I don't know if there is a trial nova or crab) do trial novas or crabs count?

Can the trial version Crab be used for this event or is buying a Crab variant a mandatory prerequisite?

Trial versions of both mechs should work!

Crud.

I own a Nova Prime, but can't use it because I'm House Liao.
I guess I'll sit this event out, as I have no intention, or abilty, to leave my faction in time.

Use the Crab, it's a trial mech.

Can you get yourself a Crab? That one also qualifies. Also, two parts of the Event don't need a specific Mech.

8pm EST, about 70 folks across four worlds I can see playing scout missions. ONE person trying to play invasion mode.

No Crabs? No Worries!!!



No Nova? Worry.

No crabs?! You're just not trying hard enough...... (insert 47 other STI jokes...)

Anyway, on a serious note, this will be a Nova run for me.... It happens to be one of my favorite mechs since I bought one (then a few more)!! Decidedly quick, and under-powered, but lasers go a long way in a CW match and the Jump Jets can make for some interesting exchanges!

Got mine from an Event, but will be enjoying knocking heads with it. Maybe you'll make your own 1-man Unit and Contract with Ghost Bear for 7 days?

Next time PGI pick a better match to the nova,like a SHD or a GRF,the crab does not have a chance.

I would agree if the score requirements were worse, but really? 6 kills/kmdd in 6 days? That won't necessarily be a slam dunk, but it may be only a bit of a challenge...

I did that in 2 games ,I did not say it's hard ,just unbalanced.

Hey guys, we'll be adding something for the IS as well shortly, so it's not only the Nova! We'll edit the post in a few moments!

So where is the "Ember" (Firestarter) part of the Nova-Ember event?

[Jon McFuzzy]

I get it. Promotional/Marketing event is at the discretion of PGI. You can either take part of it, or not. It has its own internal and external objectives, e.q. to increase sales, etc.

Not sure if it makes sense to curse/yell/being displeased at free event where you have no obligation to take part in it.
It's like when you see discount at local store - you can simply ignore it when you don't want to.

But I can still voice out my comment:

I have no Novas, and currently not yet interested to own them or Crabby patty.
The 300 MC and 3mil C-Bills prizes - imo - are not exactly going to motivate me much, in comparison to the last 2 events.
I might still be playing Invasions (and Scoutings) when I have team mates - but it's not because I am dying for the prize.

It would be nice though if the "6 Kills/KMDD challenge" is open for more Medium mechs.

Are you kidding? My ShadowCat just got torn up by a Crab recently! They've got a chance, but you just didn't happen to know it.

Cuz,can't you read? I said vs ONLY the nova not other mechs.

[ArticArcher]

tried 2 attempts for invasion 1 with a ghost drop and the other with 15 min with no others joining. So far only doing scouting has a chance. I am not sure it is a JF issue or lack of overall interest. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

[rolly]

Well and truly disappointed here. Of all the feedback on the previous events as well as great suggestions, its another generic KMDD Kill event, plus you've completely ignored the suggestion to do an event to mark November 11th. Much less one for charity.

No thanks.

[Keith66AH]

The crab is in most degrees total garbage especially when compared to the Nova. I am willing to bet that any Nova would stop the crap out of any Crab variant and pilot included. There are far better 45 ton mechs for scouting then that and ones that are far superior in getting anywhere close to a KMDD.

Easy button VS Hard mode to be sure here. Unless your one of those lame *** guys who snipe the whole time in scout and don't support their teammates at all and hope to win in the slightest.

Garbage mech for a garbage event. This has to be the first time I am honestly upset about the choices here.

I love the theme with the Nova...member if you can get past the innuendo there but to pitch it against the crab is just.... stupid.

[ScorpionNinja]

Nice small freebie stuff for those of you folks that play/care about CW.

CW in its current state ISNT of any playing interest for me still!

No thanks!
