I wouldn't.

But now that I've right gotten snubbed at not getting an Incursion game type for the longest hour, and being unable to ambush the fuel carriers due to teammates who don't want to push, yeah, I'm about done with that last challenge...

[MavadoG]

been playing a few hours and also haven't seen incursion at all.... it popped up plenty yesterday, but now that there's an event.... nothing

[Shenanigan23]

Just got I think 2-3 out of 5 QP's. Maybe pure luck, or maybe a back-end change?

[Idiocide]

I played for 4 hours today and only saw 3 total Incursion matches. This was 3 out of 3 possible. People are selecting it when it comes up, but the fact is.. they arent coming up often enough.

[Safari Gepard]

So low drop of new game mode. not interesting.

[Commander A9]

I'm going to despise Incursion by the time this night is over...

And power technicians...

Definitely not seeing the number of incursion games as before.

[Kodyn]

Spent 2 days getting nonstop Incursion, hated the mode...

Incursion-based event announced, ooh, premium time, alright!

Incursion becomes the game mode that isn't... Haven't seen it once since the event actually started. GG PGI, still utterly amazing at events I see, after all this time. Gold star.

[Gerdskies]

Who ever made this event, has dangled an unreachable carrot on a stick in front of me. I have sadly wasted my whole Saturday on trying to complete this event (I'm one of those events completionists players).

It seems no thought was put into this and it was rushed.

who ever you are, you have poo in your butt. and you're a dumdum head, and I'm super upsetting spaghetti.

9 pages of people saying this event is, poorly thought out.

No surprise.

Dropped for hours, saw Incursion twice.

[Kurbeks]

Incursion doesn't show up because in voting Map takes priority. And if one 4 maps (Bog for example) doesn't support incursion, then you won't have option to vote for incursion.

Another reason to take away map voting.

A little historic anecdote:
In the past PGI had often events which suffered from severe problem thanks to RNG. Then it seemed PGI learned from it and it stopped. If you weren't able to do the events, it was you and not the RNG which was to blame.

Then PGI strikes again with this event. Lessons weren't learned it seems.




Now a biological anecdote:
If you put rats in a labyrinth, they learn by trial and error and avoid doing mistakes. Why I mention this? Ah, well...I dunno, really. Maybe I just want to share some bio knowledge or maybe it has a link to the event design? Who knows!



Sidenote: I started playing this morning again. I am in my 5th match and no incursion

What is PGI doing against all those light pilots just yolo-suiciding right into the enemy bulk just because it is not incursion that gets selected? It's not fun if you basically start the match with a 10-12 disadvantage.

Are you, PGI, actually monitoring the reports you get?

[EvangelX]

I like the game mode thanks for all the work into it. It will just take time and strategy.

This event really needs Incusion much higher on the map rotation. I have had 1 in 6 games.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Is incursion removed from the rotation? Did not even got it as choise for 2 days. My hole unit didn t saw it since 2 days.....

[PFC Carsten]

Incursion is not available on all maps, so if the maps in rotation do not support incursion, chances are nil that you get the mode.

[Warschnuffel]

The 'Delivery Failed' Challenge is _superhard_ to get, the way this mode is (and should) be played doesn't support this. But i could complete the rest of the challenges in about 5-6 hours, which is totally fine, i guess. It SHOULD be a challenge after all. Maybe add a second, grindier winning condition for the 'Delivery Failed' challenge? Its ok if its hard, but this seems almost impossible with the playable amount of incursion matches for most of the players. Or do the numbers tell a different story?

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

[IDEA]: How about you disable assault for now then or maybe conquest.

I killed a battery-carrying mech. For some reason a Timberwolf decided to carry a battery around. Who knows why. So I killed him. In my Wolfhound. He managed to kill me back with a last-ditch volley of LRM's, but I killed him first so I got credit for it. You don't need 100 match score, or a win. Keep your eyes open, you can get it. Assuming you can get the mode to drop in the first place.

Aside from the rarity of the mode, it's a good event. The mode not dropping does cause some frustration.

[Ertur]

If the following are true:
a) game mode likelihood cannot be modified
b ) map selection likelihood can be modified
c) only certain maps support the mode

then why can't the maps that don't support the mode get their chances reduced for the duration of the event?
