Once my graphics card went down and evga won't cross ship the replacement... had to do a week long event using only lrms at 7fps, it was brutal but it can be done.

Indeed. I was thinking just bring a dakka KDK-3 and walk straight into the enemy mashing the mouse button. Bound to get 100 match score after one or two tries with that.

An event that encourages sticking together and acknowledging the lesser-appreciated facets of the rewards system? Rad.

Not all sticking together is productive.

Firing lines are productive.

Deathballs are not always, especially if people just hide behind others instead of shooting the same target together. It's only worse if NASCAR is involved.

Positioning is more about where you're at, not just "sticking together" in the strictest sense.

This silly freebirth contest dishonors Kerensky, but the rewards could be used to make the Clans stronger, so I will participate.

@Deathlike: I hear ya. I usually only play QuickPlay though and convincing the team to not run off and leave Charlie Lance in the dust is... difficult at times. It's just nice to think that all the Lone Wolves out there don't get all the achievements on their lonesome and have to at least pretend to be part of a team this go 'round.

Even before the events have started its just a wall of LRMs out there now in tier 1 solo queue.... this is going to be a horrible event....

PGI upped lurms

Cool, thanks for the event!

Would it be a Rugby event if we all stripped armor before each match?

As a rugby player, I endorse this wholeheartedly.

Server connection lost...three times in a match, in every match since eventstart....

Is this a good sign for player numbers or a bad sign for pgis servers?

edit: after one hour it got better. no more problems so far.

[drachnien]

how long should it take for progress to show up on the event page, I've done several things for each of them already but it still shows all zeros

Some of these events are 15 minutes to update, but others have been an hour.

The hardest challenge in this event may well be the Lance in formation objective... no need to tell you why, that's QP.

That's what I thought too. But after playing for a bit, they seem to add up pretty quickly just by sticking around your team.

Love the option to score multiple ticks per match, Well done this time around PGI

True, I almost completed it already...

[Zergling]

Well, this event has been a lot easier than I expected it to be.

So far, after 15 battles without specifically trying to complete event conditions, just playing normally:
54 out of 150 'components destroyed'
35 out of 50 'lance in formation'
100 out of 100 'protected light/medium'

At the rate I'm going, I'll easily complete the entire event and get the free Grid Iron (not that I need it; I already have one).

[Steel Raven]

If you don't want a free Grind Iron, feel free to give it to me.

(I didn't buy a Linebacker or Grid Iron, on a budget)

I do like the structure of this event. I personally wish it was longer then 12 days to accommodate those with limited play times.

This. I'll be out of town without access to a PC over Thanksgiving...and I'd imagine that many people will be in the same (LRM) boat. Other than that, pretty nice little promo where most players should be able to get at least something.

[Gernot von Kurzmann]

Great cant find a match bug after two matches....

[Commander A9]

Set, hike!

Already 4.5 hours into it, and I've got 2 of the Completionist challenges wrapped up. This is really fun.
