Would it be possible to specify the time a day "starts" and "ends" for the daily challenge? I had achieved more than 400 match score during my Monday evening, but it instead counted towards Tuesday.

More visibility on when the rollover occurs would be greatly appreciated for this event and in the future.

Thank you!

I think what we needed was a "no group event", to remove the "pugs vs unit" for a few days, instead of increasing it tenfold.

On the bright side for IS : After this event, the new IS weapons will be tweaked to one shot one clan lance at a time (mech mounted IS orbital cannons ).

yes hopefully we will get to beat the snot out of the clans for several years to come as payback .........

People need to stop blaming mercenaries for playing the game the way PGI designed it.

I have to agree. Let's not blame each other for PGI's poor game design. I'm a Davion Loyalist, to the bone, but I don't blame Mercs for doing what the game encourages. Besides, I recall someone at PGI claiming that... "programming is hard."

[Knight2416]

PGI needs to stop trying to make this game about lore.

• Clans in lore fight 3 to 1 or 2 to 1 odds
  
• Clans in lore prefer to fight 1 on 1. Group focus firing is not their way.

PGI you need to just have events that do not try to follow lore and do not favor one side or the other.

Other way is to once the Civil war patch applied remove mech restrictions so only house/clan matters. Allow both sides to field IS or Clan mechs.

Just wanted to post my thanks to both PGI and to the rest of the community for making this event so great. I have enjoyed Tukkayid each time we have fought there, and this year is no exception!

My unit and I have had some amazing battles so far and are already talking about the shared memories this event is bringing. You can't put a price on good times had with friends!

Thanks again to all those fighting and the FUN I hope we are all having this week!

Hey PGI great event etc... but it looks like you hot-fixed me out of supply cache key for today.
Anyone else didn't receive the key today ?

Nvm that, it came separately.

While I love the free trinkets we get from all the events, I do find it disappointing when events have win conditions that are beyond a player’s reasonable control. IS pilots can play just as hard as any clan player, (and vice versa), but still feel like they are ‘ripped off’ half the rewards because there might be a strong swing from a lot of the stronger Units to clan side for events like this? (I’m not even touching the “Clan tech OP’ view of this).

Funny they go from a ‘Sorry you got frustrated over lack of control over a mode selection’ to ‘Have another event condition you individually have no control over’ situation…. I’m sure it’s not just me.

I’m not here just to have a whinge.. I just find this is how a lot of people I’m chatting to feel. I could whine in TS, or try and give constructive feed back here.. so I’m going for the latter. Please PGI. Don’t have win conditions players can’t achieve with reasonable effort.. it’s just not fun

I hear you, but if there is a balance issue, this would nail it to the door for all to see. Additionally, granted only one side can get the MAX rewards per day, but at least they didn't tie rewards generally to "win conditions"

You can get everything and only *have* to win 8 scouting matches...

[James Argent]

Clans in lore also throw out the 'rules' when their opponents don't stick to them. Have fun deciding who doesn't get to shoot!

Thanks for your reply. In some ways this is worse the a 'match win' condition. (Though I agree they are terrible) At least if it were a 'Win 2 drops- get Max rewards' I could unhappily grind until I got rewarded for my grinding. Last night we (IS) won 4 out of the 5 drops I was in. There is no way I can earn the full reward. Just no way.. no way... No matter how well one player plays I can get the reward a clan player doing the minimum can get. Shoudd'a picked clan again I guess...

Yeah, the completionist is us craves that. Just remember they are kinda-sorta-maybe-trying to re-enact Tuk... only one side could really win...

[Holy Jackson]

Stupid question: is there any way that I can tell if I have the cumulative 400 point match score condition for the day without having to scroll to the bottom and do math and look at time stamps?

True.. but the balance /play mechanics are an issue.. it's also a game and people like to have fun playing games. I want to player base to grow, not get frustrated / disheartened / put off due to win conditions or feeling like they are not rewarded for the same 'work'. There is a Victory and Looser banner dished out at the end... that should be the prize. If it were just the all the bad and noob players were IS, don't punish them with less in game monies.. maybe they need it more so they can get better mechs / afford better equipment for builds? Have said all this.. I finished the challenge on the second day, I have plenty of mechs and I'm fine for currency. I still feel the the above is they general feeling from the player base I've chatted to.

I'm fairly sure there is not an indicator. I've just been keeping an eye on the score at the end, but looking up the logs would do it too.

Actually after about 20 some matches, you stop seeing your score.
Better to write them down to keep track.

Actually it's after 50.

What was the hotfix for?

[PFC Carsten]

There's a news item on the front page. In devil's advocate words: For PGI's lack of QA and Beta Testing, in official words mainly for

Using the additional logging and diagnostics introduced during the brief downtime on Sunday we identified an issue with the system used for querying pilot data within the frontend menu of the MWO client; this system is used to track your current Contract or Faction allegiance, Unit status, and so on.
The server instability came as a result of this system being utilized by the Floating Chat feature released in our April patch, causing an excessive number of pilot data queries per-second and an overload of the database systems due to the number of Faction Chat participants. This led to a number of issues you may have encountered over the weekend, from mass-disconnections to sluggish performance of the menu systems.
