Only 2 incursions since event started. Got tons before event started.
(Both were disasters for me, I have no real progress on the event.)

Getting really ticked.

Got into a 3rd, died before accomplishing anything.
Probably best for my mental health to not log in until after the event is over. Coulda used the c-bills.

Peace out

completing an event should not be the reason to play MWO

Perhaps it shouldn't, but for many it is the reason to play. I used to only play CW and now I barely have touched it in months. QP is about the same. The only reason I put in time this weekend is this event....

Seen it twice all weekend - got smoked the first match trying to get a fuel cell - avoided the fuel cells second match and killed three heavies and a light. Still, at the rate I am going, I will not even finish the 5 matches to get 2M CBills, which is all I am really hoping for at this point...

incursion doesn't even show up for voting!

Completed everything I wanted to over the weekend, got plenty of incursion matches, most of active AWOL completed the event fully in 4-6 hours worth of play over the weekend days.

Guess some are lucky and some arent.

No, but you'd think that after more than 4 hours of play, I'd have SOMETHING towards the event. I couldn't even get the 5 matches for 2M c-bills, incursion didn't come up 5 times. I didn't expect to complete it, I don't play a lot most weekends. I thought I'd get part of it done though. This is defying basic statistics, something is seriously skewed.

Because I didn't get even one incursion match I ended up playing way more than intended trying to get even a single incursion match.

I had 4/5 done and needed just one more. Played off and on all day today to try get a single incursion match. 30 or so matches in I finally got one, then immediately logged of. I am disgusted.

You don't play MWO because of the well-designed events, good balance, or intelligent developers, you play it because you have some itch to scratch involving big stompy robots, or you enjoy pain.

If you still expect anything good or reasonable or intelligent out of PGI in this day and age, you've been under a rock for a while, these weekend events especially have always been about as bad as F2P events can be.

PGI knows the 2k players or so left aren't worth their time to try for, and they they probably learned a long time ago how bad they are at their own jobs, so why bother? I certainly wouldn't ever spend money again, though I know some people who do. We should all be grateful this game is even up and running on a server at this point, honestly, that's kind of a miracle with how things have gone the past few years.

played 3 hours last night, had a streak of 9 games straight, no incursion. Incursion pops vs assault, idiots vote for assault.

This is what happens when a company essentially has no competition (in any industry).

They'll seem sweet in the beginning when they are new and the first game in town. But that honeymoon ends soon, and then it's 'til death do you part' and they are gonna ride you like Yoda on Luke.

PGI, pls.

This might be humble-brag, but I'll write it anyway:

I got lucky with the fuel cell carrier kill, but even killing the 5 base structures is the most annoying challenge I ever had:

First, it takes hours of playing before I even get an incursion.
If then I am finally in one, either we get stomped right away and I never have a chance to get anywhere near the enemy base.
Or I have to carry the team, bind and/or kill the enemy while my team mates run ahead and kill the structures before I can get near them. If I run ahead, I get slaughtered because there's no one who pushes the enemy into cover.

I am basically fighting 23 people to get to the structures. If I don't, we just lose right away.

I have 3 kills so far.
Two of them because I was the last Mech alive because, that's right, I had to carry the match.
One because I rushed to the enemy base like crazy after I carried my team and got the last shot of the last structure that ended the game with an ERLL.

The remaining two seem to be out of reach by far.

It's not just the extremely low probability for incursion to show up.
It's also the problem that it is extremely hard for player even of the winning team to even get a structure kill.
You can't even kill all the structures at the end, because the match ends as soon as the winning force has the slightest base advantage.



It's like these challenges are carefully tailored to piss off as many customers as possible.

Yep I thought "Hey easy 2million CB, Play 5 Incursion Matches, each with a minimum Match Score of 100" I can do this easily within 3-4 hours of playing Yesterday... NOooooot!
Managed to get 2 possibility to vote incursion.
