Makes me wonder if you're playing the game because you actually enjoy it or if you are only playing because of the event.

What difference does it make why he is playing ? With a population as small as this game has, we should be begging people to play the game, not questioning them.

Getting the points isn't too difficult, if you don't Steamroll the base. Grabbing and delivering batteries sorts that out (if you've the speed).

Killing a battery carrier on the other hand... Not going to happen (not for me anyways).

good changes on the objetives but killing a battery carrier is almost imposible (almost IMPOSIBLE)

PGI expects too much from us. Our piloting skills are next to potato. Heck, even a potato could kill a battery carrier.

Uhm... have any of you three ever tried using LRMs? If not, those and some collaboration with your team will likely be the ticket to achieving that one.

So the answer is to tell people not to pick the fricking swamp!

PGI needs to make Incursion/Escort compatible with Viridian Bog, I think. This just goes to show that Viridian Bog is in need of a MAJOR expansion.

~D. V. "I knew that map was too small!" Devnull

i hope they dont make it bigger, bog canyon and mining are the only maps where your not punished for bringing a mech with less than 600 meter full damage range.

Whoa, you just totally misread me! I'm explicitly NOT talking about making it oversize and/or open like Polar Highlands, Terra Therma, or Grim Plexus. I'm also NOT talking about making it over-gapped like River City, Crimson Strait, or Frozen City. I just think that PGI should add more to Viridian Bog in the same style as what it is now, but effectively have a far larger battlefield that doesn't lose the feel that exists now. They could even do the same with Canyon Network as what I'm seeing in my head. I do like the mix of long-range and close-quarters that exists in both Viridian Bog and Canyon Network right now, but I do think PGI could make a larger battlefield area, yet with more terrain using that exact feel present in Viridian Bog and Canyon Network, and it would potentially become some of the most-enjoyed play in MWO. I'll leave it up to you to dream in your mind and see what I mean, because I'm frankly having trouble articulating it in words right now.

I don't know about you guys, but after an evening of playing (7 matches), my progress in this challenge is phenomenal!



But I do have a question. How do you get an incursion match? I have not seen it pop up as an option all evening....

[Merlin Kell]

Ive been playing from 1:30pm EST to 10pm EST ... i had 1 incursion match. **** this event seriously

[BrunoSSace]

Make an event to play a mode and not increase its chances to appear. This event sounds very painful and not to be finished on the weekend.

[shopsmart]

If people select incursion but DON'T play it as incursion. Then killing a mech that got a fuel cell and trying to return it to base is going to be a hard one. Many in game chat of people death balling and not playing the mode or just ignoring fuel celling as 2:00 is to short a time for a battery drop.

[Commander A9]

Having more frequent Incursion matches as a light than any other mech type. Depressing.

[Stitchedup]

UP the chance for the INCURSION mode been in the vote please PGI

[Initium Thoth]

throw an event for a mode that shows up once every 30-40 minutes?

[Commander A9]

Oh, I guess PGI decided I was getting too many points in Incursion-now it won't show up for me anymore and I'm almost done!

[Shenanigan23]

Biggest issue for me; even if the frequency of the game mode is raised a degree, having say half in heavy/assault trying to kill,\ which is fine, but the other half going for essentially 2 cells (the middle one often heavily fought over)on reasonably long respawn counters will take most players AGES to get the cells without high degrees of frustration.

[WiNNiep00h]

i play since 8 hours. after 5 hours i had nearly everything..just one kill/KMDD of a heavy/assault is missing. during the last 3 hours i had 3 times incursion..all all three times, the game was over after some minutes, because the other players destroyed the enemy base :/ i had no chance to get a kill ARGH

[Commander A9]

How do you think I feel? I try getting my lance to set up an ambush on their power-runner, and idiots just run right into the power zone and engage the enemy BEFORE he picks it up!

Who the hell came up with the notion that having the target mode appear less than 20% of the time was such a great idea?

[WiNNiep00h]

finally i finished the event last round they really waited till we killed all enemys and i got my kill. now i can sleep

[Kali Rinpoche]

Please increase the occurrence of Incursion Matches. Make one an option every round. Some of us are going 10 -11 matches without one.

I've had 4 in 6 hours.

[Eremes Zorn]

I have a bit over half the challenges done, because I lucked out and dropped on Incursion probably five times. The remaining goals (those that have anything to do with an Energy Cell) aren't even worth it, given how everyone has been handling this mode. I can do without a 'Mech Bay and whatever silly items the last few achievements are rewarding. I WILL say, however, that Incursion in general is just... meh. Then again maybe it's just the event itself encouraging poor play.
If anything this should be a lesson not to base an event on one particular game mode, no matter how fresh it is.

[chucklesMuch]

Yay finished (last return finally done)

[Commander A9]

Last one...kill the fuel cell carrier.

Just noticed that if the enemy is carrying a cell, they'll have a little battery icon on their target ID box...

[SaintLucifer]

So if you're not a LRM boat, just give up on the kill a battery guy i guess? God i hate this event already...

[CyanEyd]

Guys, seriously....six drops in a row without even the OPTION for Incursion Mode! The event you guys are hosting is specifically FOR Incursion Mode! Can you please get this straightened out?
