This event has been great so far. So many C-Bills, MC, and invasion matches. Thank you, PGI!

Not to be a downer but Tukkayid 3: The Bribery, is boring as sh1t. Took me ~23 games to complete the FW event, and I think the IS won three of them maybe. There is nothing to be won here aside from the event rewards. Honestly, what even happens at the end of it? Is having some spec on the FW map labeled as 'Clan' really worth anything, when it just resets anyways? I get the lore aspect and everything, but I'm not that much of a fanboi for a Sisyphean trudge of FW game after game after game - it's just plain old boring. I'm at the point now where I'm thankful I don't have to play anymore FW to complete the event and can go back to QP. I get that Tukkayid is supposed to be an attempt at FW immersion, but personally I think it falls flat on it's face.

Although I really should not be biting the hand that feed so to speak but what Tkyd3 really is, is stomping the **** out of the IS over and over again for game-currency-monopoly-money rewards - nothing more, nothing less.

This event I fun. If people always played the mode this much I imagine everyone wouldn't be so down on it, and those rank rewards would be more accessible, getting people to play more etc.

Bring on the filthy lucre.

Tukkayd is allways a 50/50 experiance as in best and worst keeps its balance.
Some games I just want to quite others my heart is racing.
Best part was Conquest with Dropdecks.

Will I stay with FW?
Maybe...if finding matches stays similar quick then QP and if there where more PUGs since I don't play regular enough to go through the trouble of finding a unit.
Also it would be nice to have the more diverse PUGs as enemys instead of the same mechs/loadouts every mech you find and beeing forced to play the same.

It's been a good event - my unit is on a Clan Contract and we have been doing drops usually with 6-9 of us and most of the pickup players have been willing to listen, group up for each wave, etc. A few of those pickup players have solo'd, or didn't like our calls and said so, or were simply terrible, but that has been the vast minority.

We started off stacking up lots of wins on Days 1 and 2 but then on Sunday ran into a wall - we're still over .500 but for the first 2 days we were winning at a 2 to 1 clip.

The matches have gotten a little more competitive, the rewards have been great and we've had a lot of fun.

A big salute to all from The Templars, thank you for all of the battles!

I have not played one match yet. No in game invites and yes I am a freelancer. I recall Freelancers are invited no? Don't get me wrong, I am happy for you all who has had a great time playing and more power to you! Just sayin

In my opinion this whole event shows that clans are too strong
They won every single day of the event with 90% and more.

Thats just totaly wrong in my eyes....
I just feel a game has to be fair and balanced in all of its aspects.

So the conclusion is they have to be nerfed or the IS has to be buffed.
If there is no fast reaction by PGI to balance, I gonna quit playing IS and play Clan instead...

I will start to lose every game just to prevent this event to become a quickplay. Need stronger clans to hold current tug of war position.

[Damnedtroll]

Event is some kind of fun because of instant drop but we see some balancing issue, players base ? tech ? pugishness? probably a mix of that.

The balancing issue remove some fun and i would like the return of IS vs IS warfare and also CLAN vs CLAN warfare... right now it's an event but before it he was all CLAN vs IS for how long ??? It's just boring... bring some interesting battle like the one between Liao and Davion back !!! Please ! Or Wolf vs Falcon !!!

Had only stomps today. Not really fun, but hey. I take the money from PGI.

Hopefully someone at PGI looks at now CW and balancing now finally, since IS has won not a single day.

I think the system puts up the call to arms if there's a group waiting for a drop to fill the other side. The problem is, things've been pretty back to back for the IS so it might not have time to pop up a call to arms. Just make your own merc unit, like [Ivnv] or something an take a contract. You can disband it after the event.

(As for which side to pick, IS tend to get matches more often, but I'd suggest picking based on which mechs you're best with.)

I've certainly had fun.

i have played several hours most days of the event and can count invasion losses on one hand....try grouping up and bringing good builds in your drop deck.
