Got 145 Lootbags, but still NO BNC-3M(C)

it's only available if you win a Siege , which won't happen but a few times, and depending time of day if that

obviously no one was paying attention to how many siege's happen before adding it to event.

not an impossible to get 25 Siege matches in 2 weeks. just a rarity .. rewards need to been different for those that play FW. , since more time is invested playing FW then QP.
QP is fine, but it's not the area I like playing, and I do like free stuff, but more then 2 matches in QP I'm done, I don't have the required patience to play in QP.
but like I said I like free stuff, and will try and endure it more
they are 2 different game play.
only problem I see if rewards were better in Faction Play, it'll bring that same (more) QP mentality into FP, just to get better rewards

I've had similar happen to me. However, the same can NOT be said for Siege mode. Getting matches of that type is hard-to-impossible. PGI really should either turn up the granted number of Loot Bags per Siege match, or change that set to ANY Invasion-based match. Until then, very few will ever reach 25 Loot Bags for Siege.

By the way, don't get me wrong, as I do appreciate getting Loot Bags. I just don't like them being taken away from ever being earned by issues and variables that exceed a player's control.

155 tickets = all modes full and 5 sieges NO Banshee 3M.

For all these guys posting, "yeah I got the Banshee with my first ticket", there is one idiot who does not get it.
And looks like this idiot is me.

20 extremly rare chances to go because siege and siege can not always be played in CW.
I will keep you informed.

Edit: spelling

149 loot bags opened. Only 26 to go. Still no Banshee.

Any idea on how to get another 20 siege games fast?

Tank the game mode, kill team mate and let the enemy win time and time again until siege game mode comes up.

i have opened 203 loot bags no banshee, i have 2 escort left and 25 siege left as i bought 2 civil war packs and a resistance hero.

I dont have the banshee yet and I am guessing I won't. I've never had the mech prize but no matter what...

Thank you for the event PGI.

Same here.

if by faction matches you mean siege mode then its because siege mode is rarely played. Yesterday i played siege only once it was assault mode most of times in EU time zone.

I play the match with my unit every night in the faction matches and the only one that will ever show is scouting, siege will never show up in the list, been playing for about a year now of faction primarily Invasion aka (siege), and have not revived any drop's or even any listing of my matches for this event. So siege is broken on the Lucky Charm event.

[Diddi Doedel]

You know what would be interesting with all those fancy counters on the event page? The number of grand prizes awarded to the players.

Thanks for the event, btw. Nice as always. Though, as mentioned by a couple of co-players, sometimes, depending on play-time-window, getting a siege match is really hard to achieve.

[K19]

well well. one note. Bug players use viper mech use ship scout mod not bad lot mech not passively fire plz check

[Reverend Herring]

99 bags opened, but alas! No Banshee.

Can't really complain, though. I've gotten a couple of million cbills, a handfull of MC and a lot of GXP (and a couple of cockpit items) for just playing the game as I normally would. So thanks, PGI.

[iRON KANSAS]

Dear PGIs, do you know that is impossible to collect 25 loot bags in Siege mode? Or even 2 bags though.

I'm pretty sure that my Banshee prize is in Siege mode.

Event Review Note To PGI ---

If you're going to require certain Game Modes to earn Loot Bags, please verify that the Game Mode in question can be reasonably reached first without need for any extreme circumstances. If this check is failed, there will be a section (or more) of an Event that most players will fail for certain, and an opportunity provided will never actually be properly reachable. The "Siege" Game Mode is a prime example of this, in the form of failing that check. As you can see, there are already many people above who are complaining about this issue, where too many variables are beyond one person's control.

155 loot bags and no banshee yet. All I have left is Siege. Unfortunately, Siege is only available during specific windows of time. I work 2 jobs, so I have only a couple hours a day to devote to trying to get my bag. Siege might not even be available at that time. Guess I'm not getting a Banshee.

It's not impossible, unless you aren't used to faction play and didn't realize how rarely they would be offered. Or if you wanted to be more efficient and get your 150 games in from the other modes that are quicker, and finish up with Siege at the end.

I fall into both camps. I didn't realize how rare it was to get siege, so I didn't start doing it right away. I figured I'd get 150 bags from the other modes first, at 10-15m a match, instead of focusing on siege which would take 40+ between everything. Now I'm realizing my mistake, but it's a mistake that shouldn't be possible, because the game mode should be more available.

[MovinTarget]

You sometimes only get 1 siege game per phase... was on my IS alt and waited for clams to finally push into siege, we beat them and it never got back to siege...

Never felt so bummed to win a pug FP game, lol...

[C E Dwyer]

My winnings are completely Banshee Free

Nice event other that it involves little people stuff.

Only one thing P.G.I

Maybe invasion matches, and not just siege next time ?
