Thank you for adding a option to get rewards without beeing able to play (almost) daily!
Not sure if I will get the rewards by Options #1, but at least you can try and don't have to cancel the whole event the moment you see that you will be missing some days.

Thanks for that!

all those lance-in-formations, requiring players to play together...

Alternatively, everyone is going to stand too close to each other and block each others escape routes and firing lines

Where are the prizes for killing Bushwackers?

Interested in the sale!

Just out of curiosity, which mechs are chicken walkers? I didn't found an easy overview of them, but on top of my head there is:
Direwolf, Catapult, Stalker, Stormcrow, Nova(?), Timberwolf, Jenner(?), Warhawk, Ebon Jag(?)

Locust, Raven, Kitfox, Adder, Jenner IIC, Vider, Shadow Cat, Nova, Stormcrow, Catapult, Cataphract, Marauder, Mad Dog, Ebon Jaguar, Linebacker, Timber Wolf, Stalker, King Crab, Marauder IIC, Warhawk, Dire Wolf

Not sure if PGI includes 'mechs which have a canine/feline legstructure, probably not since it's more like a humanoid walking on it's toes, those would be:

Cicada, Crab, Huntsman

PGI probably learned that lesson after the massive salt deliveries from the past couple hunt-the-new-mech challenges and dropped the idea. Honestly, I was just planning to roll with it and take the deaths with my Bushies had it been there... I mean, realistically, people go after the new mech as priority regarless of a challenge or not so I didn't see it as a big deal to have. (actually, my first kill yesterday in my shiny new Bushy was... another Bushwhacker! )

As for the Lance in Formtion... it sounds like it'd be difficult in PUGlandia, but actually last time they had it in an event me and the wife both found in our solo drops it was surprisingly easy to rack up. I had many solo pug drops with 5-15 LiF tallies, so fear not!

Overall, well set up event!

Finally a new event, nice but I must also say that I'm a bit jelly now because bushwacker owners can win buccaneer camo(it looks so sexy on kintaros btw) unlock during this event, I kinda want that camo for my shadow hawks, well I will wait for a sale.

[Dane Jorgensson]

Looking forward to getting the 300 MC.

Suggestion: If you plan to give out MC for event achievemnts please let us know in the same announcement if Mech Bays will or will-not be going on sale.

I missed out on 4 Mech Bays during the stocking stuffer event and had to settle for 2 at regular MC price because the announcement for 50% off Mech Bays did not happen during the event.

Thanks

[Husker Dude]

Yeah, strongly agree the alternate achievement methods are a great idea. Really pleased by them (even though I am sure I'll end up playing ever day at any rate).

Once again, I am shockingly sad that the Bushwhacker pilots will be deprived of the joy I experienced with the Hunt the Huntsman event. Spending two solid weeks with a target painted on your 'mech allows a pilot to enjoy the thrill of being hunted down like an animal, and is a perfect chance to learn how to get the most out of your new Battlemech!

I seriously did enjoy the Huntsman event's kill component, though to be perfectly frank the time was too long. People would simply drop everything to hunt me down - it was like driving a pre-quirk Locust. Painting a target on your 'chassis is a great way to encourage people to get the most out of their 'mech.

And if I could have fun doing it, the rest of you can suck it up.

[DavidStarr]

Do you think we'll get the Rooster event on the Tournament page where we will be able to track our progress? Just so that I don't have to make marks on paper to know whether or not I met the objective for today...

Little disappointed there's no Whack-a-bushwhacker challenges

Heck they could even require it be done in a Chicken Walker Mech!

No love for ppl that bought the Assassin or Javelin?

How do those mechs have anything to do with the theme of this one ? Neither of them are chicken-walkers, or for that matter, even released yet.

[Vyx]

Should be updated every 15 minutes, not every hour.

Every hour is terribly slow.

[Giklab]

The tournament page has "Complete at least one of the two options below for a prize of 5,000,000 C-Bills!" written for both challenges (it's correct on the announcement page and under the tracking tables.

[Groutknoll]

would it be possible to add the matches played info to the event page?

say the headers would be something like this:

| match date/time | Bushwacker | match score | high team match | Lance In Formation |
__(utc date/time)__(x or check)_____###________(x or check)________##________

Sort on the date/time with latest on top. Similar to this event:
https://mwomercs.com...s?t=201609mechs

This way it would be easier to see when the daily is met or almost met seeing that the event page is only updated once a hour.

Nice event !!

And this time you can miss some single days, which is a great option for people who are older than 16 years...

Thanks PGI
