After seeing your post, I gave this a whirl, as I hadn't tested LRM20 since the patch 21 damage short of a 1k game 2 kills but sadly only 5 components.

If guests can see that section the screenshot is on Skye rangers forums under the title of So this guy says FFS don't bring LURMS :)

When P.G.I use a website where I can upload a picture without phaffing around using 3rd party clouds sites I'll start posting them here.

I.E never..


Cathy, you ray of sunshine, never change!

@Zergling: Only 10 best matches count... but some leaderboards are for the time being so short that simply playing a single match qualifies as it is extremely hard to get less than 10 points per match (lose, die, score no hits)... even though someone playing the Nanuq somehow managed to end with just FOUR. :D

I was and will be traveling a lot in the past and coming days, so no GI for me...

I liked the idea to be able to grind out (or perhaps spend MC to unlock - say 25 or 50 per day? "sacrifice" supply caches?) the days you don't make the daily goal. While I will not be able to achieve 12 days although I completed most of the other goals during the time I spent in-game yesterday and I expect to finish all goals except for the daily grind.

I appreciate that the original goal is to get players to log in each day. Unfortunately I believe this is not possible for many players due to real life issues. Still time spent in-game is the ultimate goal so some kind of substitution may make sense.

I do not feel entitled to receive the reward, I just wish I had an alternative way of achieving it since I feel that I do spend my time in the game, just not in the way the event is built for.

Other than that, thumbs up for the event!

I'm in the same boat. I travel for a living so these locked by day rewards are horrible.

Lose 5 points, die 5 points, damage done (let's say 150 but... 240 friendly damage) -6 points... total... 4 points :P
Just an example

Yeah have to admit I pick and choose events. Some I go mad on, others I ignore. That said in all cases I'm not chasing a leaderboard I level new mechs throughout the events so at least I don't feel like I'm wasting time. This event I'm just coasting as the targets are nice and easy. Next week with double xp .... LOTS of matches. Posted Image

Defensive Line and Pass Protection are going to lead to a ridiculous amount of team blobbing for this entire event.

Defensive Line is also likely to lead to some rather severe rage about lance members not sticking with their lance, which will screw the other 3 lance members out of event progress.

Seriously PGI, you need to consider the negative consequences of these events when they are being designed.



Target Missed

Seriosly, PGI, Freeking awesome event. Love it Love it Love it.

It'd be cool to have an event like this every month - like the first full week or something. Seven days isn't too bad, especially if you have it every month, and I think it'd do a lot to pull in players and encourage MC spending. It's hard to do much with such a small community that both rewards loyalty and encourages new pilots to join the game. Doesn't always have to be about MC or a free mech either - save that for the bigger events - but just having smaller events more often for things like consumables, C-bills, and cockpit items or colors/patterns. Even caches/keys would be fun goals.

Its generally been a good event... when we don't get called out by random slurring muppets who blame everything on their team and then turns out only managed 50 damage and a score of 37.... thanks [REDACTED] for your insightful and useful critiquing of your team (who all did better than you).

the double xp portion of the event shows as started on the webpage, but the game is not exchanging at the double rate

still 1 mc per 25 xp exchanged, not the 50 as stated per the event

have not checked yet, but are matches awarding double xp?

also, what happened to my faction logo on my posts?

Just converted and didn´t check, but I also got only 25 GXP per 1 MC. According to the homepage the event already started. That was expensive......

Double XP Conversion Rate event is supposed to be on right? I just converted 1mc for only 25gxp. But games already get event bonus. Is the Rates pro-rated?

Same here with XP conversion. Just did a 1000 mc exchange with no rewards either. But know they had a big crash or doing repairs last night at 8:00pm eastern standard last night
