i need 25 24 drops on a mode that never finds its way in rotation. you dont even need to win, just make 80. its good that one side is stomping right now, otherwise no invasion siege. get em before it rolls back to skirmish again. i want my invasion siege pulls in the grab bag.

Seems like whoever at PGI was tasked with updating this event for this year just plain forgot about ALL the changes PGI just made in FW with 4.1. It's comical (in a sad way)... Guess they have better things to do than worry about those of us who play this mode. Smh...

Well, with Clanners making short work of most of the IS, now's a good time to get your fill of the Siege mode. Do enjoy. Cheers.

[LordNothing]

got another 5 towards the end of the eu phase. now its still on skirmish so no point playing. so i guess im going to do scouting instead.

First of all it's 80 points, not 50 that's for scouting.

Having spent the greater part of the weekend playing IS, I really don't know how the OP who is currently clan can honestly expect IS players to be queuing up just so you can get your goodie bags. It would seem that most of the mercs units regular rotations have taken them in to clan space just in time for IS potatoes to rush in and fill their place. Leading to more stomps than usual. Friday Night NA prime time was absolutely terrible. I even had 2 numptys is scouting running around in spiders, with nothing but mgs on protect. 1 even had 8000 rounds of ammo FFS.

Fortunately Saturday was better with more players being able to hold their own. Actually had some great games, even a couple of wins, but Friday was just a disaster looking for a place to happen.

Best thing about the weekend though was beating a few clan 4 mans in scouting. Some of them obviously never play that mode.

whats annoying is getting 4 ghost drops and not even getting a bag for that 30 minite wait

shhh thats for the potatoes. i need them to fill up the server so i can use them as meat shields. if i thought they could get 80 match score id have said 80.

and i really dont care who is winning. i can get 80 either way. in fact as soon as im done leveling my linebackers im going back to is.

the weekend wasnt bad, got 17 games down. but at the end of the eu phase today there was not a single siege game. im probibly not going to get to play at the end of the na phase. the good news is i only need 8 more games and i should be able to pick those up this weekend, i dont expect to see any this week at all unless one side does a major offensive.

Shhh people don't like it when you are talking facts and making sense.

They'd actually have to be playing their game to know what's changed in it.

I think I'll forego those 25 Loot Bags. They're not worth the aggravation of 10 hours of trying to carry lurmtards while being farmed by large units.

Some guys I am dropping with are mostly avoiding FW this week until it gets to Siege. If you are trying to get those loot bags for the QP modes it makes little sense to search for 20 min and then play a 20-30 min match for 1 loot bag. You could get 3 or 4 during the same time in QP or group queue. Sure, FW pays well as far as c-bills, but people do want that MC and the grand prize. If they had awarded 2-3 loot bags for FW drops (non-scouting) it would make better sense for people to spend the time doing FW during this event.

Seige is horrible. It's always been horrible. it needs to go.

[Marius Evander]

155 loot bags done, guess which mode I still need 17 from and which mode 3

[G SE7EN7]

Its really disappointing that 'Siege' is hardly played at all now in CW. Bring back more Siege.

One idea would be to make the second last pip 'invasion' and the last pip 'counter-attack'. would be more in line with: they have taken control of our planet, one last chance to take it back.

[LordNothing]

i finished the event with the exception of one loot bag for siege. mostly because siege got potatoed out by the influx of low tier pugs who showed up for free loot, the is pulled it out of siege and pushed it into assault thus ending my loot farming expedition dispite there still being 45 minutes of time on the phase. had four attack games tonight where the team did not manage to get through the gate at all. i still qualified for those games, mostly using them as meat shields. wasnt nothing like the 4 victories at the end of the eu phase earlier today. will try again tomorrow for the last one, finish leveling my linebackers and take a vacation until the madiic comes out for cbills.

Quick, farmers, get back in there!

[Tiantara]

- Siege must be at least 1\2 from all modes in Invasion. All other - as they are without skirmish. But shorter. Another few month and I rather go and find some people to play in Siege mode in private lobby than wait until it come in rotation. QP part of FP just killing my skill in Siege mode... for the whole month I got it nearly 5 times only... all other - domination and capture the resources.

when your team is useless, use them as meat shields.

True. A side benefit are that those games tend to be the ones where I score above 3K.
