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 wish we could do this.

having to play 12 days in row is not really a good thing.

you actually punish ppl that have too much to do and cant play each day to business.
like someone that has to fly to meeting for work for 2 days or so.

dont think its any far to the working people at all.

It's 12/14. And if you're capable, it's one game.

Really nice event, I've been playing like crazy and even got 33% done of the hardest part of destroying "components". (I don't get it why major fully integrated portions of mech are called components).

The Grid Iron itself still doesn't look intresting but I just realised it has XL200 engine which I really need and with only few, mostly unintresting IS mechs, I don't want to invest c-bills in.

I have not seen anyone teamkilling anyone in tier 3 games, and I've played like close to 20 hours now(maybe a bit exaggeration, I don't keep a log and neither does the game...).

For me I usually get disconnects every now and then, I think they are partially caused by my slow computer which needs time to load the battle, little slow wireless 4G network and server/clients inherrent low threshold for considering player to be disconnected, but rarely invoking any of the penalties, so I can reconnect on time.

But actually right now the game seems to have been running well; I think most of the time I'm on euro server but often also on US, while connecting from europe.

not everyone is capable of playing at work.
not everyone wants to have MWO on laptops from work because most arent allowed to have private stuff on things from work.
not everyone even has time to play daily.

this is not about me alone. i am not such a selfish dude as the majority of gaming communities are.
i wish i could be like that but i think about the other ppl that cant do stuff i can do.

I understand the concern, I was just addressing the fact that it's not an every day thing, actually. I would have much preferred it was 10/14.

even 8/14 would be fine. i would rather see such things removed since it is just unfair to alot of people.
they could (no, they should) been replaced with something that can be done on another day like the other 3 things since you can do them on a weekend if you really want to achieve all 4 and didnt have the time for it during week.

I disagree there since traffic is part of the point. I miss out on Christmas stuff every year because of family. It is what it is. <shrug>

12/14 during a holiday weekend.

A holiday weekend that traditionally has many people traveling. Therefore, not able to play unless they have a gaming laptop.

And, what fabulous prizes...

...sheep.

Then why are you upset if the prizes are so bad? At least be consistent.

Yes...people have lives. Those people know that this is JUST a video game and can seperate the real world from the make believe game world, without throwing a hissy fit for missing out on some prize.

Hissy fit? Raising a concern isn't a hissy fit.

I understand you're just a troll but would you like to explain how I can fit AMS or ECM to my Linebackers as I already have Radar Dep?

Since you require being completely responded to, like typical trolls...

Change the omnipods or don't stand in the open making yourself an LRM target

Quote

Heres a hint ... only 1 of 6 variants can fit AMS.

Its an omnimech. its not restricted in any way to only having AMS on one variant.

Quote

If you want we can then get into a discussion on how ineffective that single AMS on that single variant would be against the LRM 60+ boats the games were populated with today.

A single AMS will work fine against LRM60+ boats to stop a significant amount of the damage because most players employing such a build strategy chain fire the launchers. Thus the AMS is able to engage each launch of missiles seperately as well. More importantly. If every troll like yourself adopts the mentality of "single AMS = ineffective, so why bother mounting it at all" then you eventually end up with a team without any AMS units. However smart clever players will carry the AMS, figuring the MM might eventually put them onto a team with other smart clever players and thus multiple AMS systems to overlap coverage and stop greater numbers of missiles.

Quote

Edit: It depends if you call the EmP etc players in my games today tier 1 ... but personally I do and try to primary them off. Though in fairness none of them were using LRM's though we did have a complaining gold dire wolf who had lrms too....

And yet you still hide your tier rating from your posts. Does make one wonder if the troll isn't actually the tier he claims to be.

Thank goodness no other game out there subverts our social tendencies/obligations...

I mean, just imagine if World of Warcraft tried to monopolize the attention of millions of people during just about major/semi-major holiday...

Oh wait, THEY DO

[MovinTarget]

Btw, this event is 60% stupid ez. Dropped in a ach with 2 high mounted erll and hung with the bigs for just THREE games and had 20 formations and 50 (yes, 50) protected light ...

I will get the components once i get the protections done...

[MovinTarget]

If we want to help one another we should all drop with mechs with:

1) no structure quirks
2) No armor on anything but the CT

FREE COMPONENTS FOR EVERYONE!

It's actually so easy you can just play and it'll happen. No reason to run the douchiest build in MWO.

[Xaat Xuun]

it is only the Kerensky Bowl "Red Zone Offense" Daily Match Score Challenge, that needs the 12 completions, and that's just getting one match in that day a score of 100 or better.
depending how much time you have (to play) it is possible to complete the rest in one day. if you cannot get 12 matches (one a day) in the 14 days, bummers.

I like how this event is running, I'm pretty sure I will be able to get the 12 matches in the 14 days . At first my only worries was components, but after first day, half done with that one, don't know why I was worried now


Still not happy how it drained what few are in FP, to QP (at the hours I play), but got used to that happening now

Hardly the douchiest build in MWO. The fact it may NOT be meta is what you are asserting, i think...

Besides, at least i am offering my ecm services to teammates instead of wallsniping on HPG.

Let's see.... light builds that are probably douchier:
Lrm jenner IIc (xl200, 6xlrm5, 2k missiles)
Lrm Oxide
Er PPC Pirates Bane
Lrm adder

I am sure there are others, but at least here i can cover the assaults and still be involved...
