I just dropped 3000mc on one shots and 100m on mechs to put them on!

For plebs like me, it shouldn't take more than 10 hours or so over the five day event. So that's totally doable without it being a heavy grind. What I'm saying is, if you play a few hours a day to have fun, you'll get all the loots to boot. <3

PGI THANK YOU!

I am an American Veteran and I know why we have Memorial Day. I know like some of the other players that the weekend is meant to celebrate those who have died in the service of their country. I miss friends and family, but in between remembering them and enjoying this weekend with those I still have, I will be playing as much as I can.

I think you have done a wonderful job weathering some of the criticisms and some understandable mistakes. I really am grateful that you try to take a light hearted and jovial approach to something that is serious without taking it too far or being disrespectful.

Love sales - back to 20 open bays. Thank you and I hope everyone has safe fun this weekend.

[dragonkid11]

Love the sale and the event reward.

But... for some reasons, the event score isn't updating for me and stuck as a X all the time no matter how many matches I do. Does anyone else has the same problem?

Make you're you're on the event page itself https://mwomercs.com...ts?t=201705more

...I suddenly feels incredibly stupid, thanks for the help.

Matt is the best thing about the forums, that post and phone coversation link are brilliant.

Looks fun. But what if players already have a Linebacker or the paint colors being offered for rewards?

Enjoy some sunshine, and theres at least 3 good linebacker builds and their omni so doesnt really matter which variant they give you.

Tomo Sukesada, on 26 May 2017 - 04:05 PM, said:

Serious question, what should I do with this second Linebacker? Sell? Keep and run alternate build? Also, if I already have a skilled prime do I need to regrind the new one???

SRM brawler, Small pulse+srm brawler, ER PPC sniper, ER Large laser sinper(comp mech).............

Teer Kerensky, on 26 May 2017 - 07:05 PM, said:

It is relatively easy to do, as average player I get about 220 match score average so that's about 44 games.

The linebacker will be nice, I might have not desided to get it as Im not super exited about it, unlike Supernova, but getting a free one is at least worth some trying, at least it's speed is special to Clan mechs.

8 matches per day if you really cant do damage, so about 2 hours per day, with 2 weekend days shouldnt be hard.
If you dont want the mech its still a free mech bay.

I do still think however (even though I wouldn't exaggerate it now as being a "catastrophic wound" like I did in a different post... that really was a tad "overboard with salt" coming from me) that giving 22 ways to counter LRMs is a bit much, though. LRMs are going to need 50 meters added again to their Baseline Range in order to fix that one. Range Nodes on the Skill Tree should NOT be so mandatory for them, and it should be possible to get them up to 1100 meters with "Baseline + 15 Range Nodes" in order to actually counter Meta-Snipers of various kinds. If you want to know all 22, then just ask. I'll be glad to list them all, and point out how badly PGI blew the change to the LRM Baseline Range. Plus, those I.S. Pilots who want MRMs are being potentially screwed over if PGI doesn't leave enough room for inserting them into the distance gap.

Can someone drop Him and me on any map besides alpine, polar or boreal and give him 3000 meters range on his lrms and me one of 4 mechs with ER large with their current range (2 are Clan 2 are IS) with no ecm or ams so I can try to show him LRM's dont need more range, they need less.

If your firing lrms from futher than 300 meters your doing it wrong, any futher and people have time to CHAIN FIRE you in the face, laugh, leave the PC to use the bathroom, return and go back into cover before the lrms reach you therefore taking no damage, cool off and repeat till your dead... lrms are map specific, (the number of games I lose both arm's on polar/alpine and all my armor and still have all my weapons working while the lurm boats are lying dead..........)

Yes I exaggerated some parts a little.

Very funny Conversation

[Ch_R0me]

Great idea, but since I'm able only to get just 1000 Match Score pts daily... This event is too short for me

[Mike Barnes]

FML, my mom needed me to give her a ride out of state over the weekend, and I couldn't bring my gaming machine.

[Zergling]

Whelp, this certainly changes my plans for not playing any MWO for the next week or two.

Props to PGI; this is certainly the sort of event that makes people play the game.

[HandsomeJBW]

Great prizes! Thanks, PGI team!
I will express an opinion on such cool events: they should be rare. So players will better appreciate all events (even without such cool rewards). Cheers!

[Michal R]

R - We need to do something. Our player base shrink.
M - Let's do Double XP.
R - yee, nice one.

P - But who need it when we don't need to exp 3 mechs.

R - We will give them 20 % MC. They must open their wallets for uss after canceled pre-orders.

P - after skill maze. Our wallet are closed to you. Repare that.

R- give them 50 % doscount for premium and mech bays!

P - who need premium when don't play skill maze? And we have plenty of mech bays. We buyed it when we need to skills 3 mech. Now we still have plenty of it and don't need more.

R - Do event for you and give u a real shiny mech for free.

P - but who need it. When we selled our modules we have plenty c-bill. We can buy it any time.

R - but you must do only 10 000 match score to get it.

P - yee, 2 hour of play for T1 players who have linbakers.

Yeee this event give us information from Perfect Game Industry.

OUR PLAYERS BASE IS SOO LOW.

"HEY LOOK AT THAT BIG SHINY PRETTY AWESOME THING OVER THERE...GO GET IT!!!!"".. whew....that will get them off our back for little bit....lets think of another diversion for after the holiday later.... time for a beer.

[Bud Crue]

WTF...

I was admittedly drunk (as usual) last night but even for me this extreme given how pissed off I have been about recent changes to the game and PGI's conflicting messaging about it has been.

So...
I was apparently so filled with good will toward PGI over this event that after playing last night I whipped out yee olde credit card and bought MC.
I have no recollection of doing it. But there it is. An email from xsolla saying that I did the deed.
Damn you PGI...my wife is gonna kill me.

Keep it up.

[Kalleballe]

Reward bad behavior and you only get more of it.

[linux4eva]

I saw some discussion regarding LRM range and taking out the snipers in some other thread.
Either author of the complaint plays in tier 6 or I just don’t get it.
How do you get lock on those snipers, especially if these are those ECM clanners?
Even if you get the lock what is the use of it if snipers stay in cover? Staying in cover of what breaks line of sight and target lock in the first place.

Meh. I like the game more than I hate PGI's bad behavior. Throw em some cash occasionally if you want to keep playing it.
