Wow awesome rewards, very nice!

[Zookeeper Dan]

This is an all or nothing event? No way I'm going to be able to play enough to get 10,000. I appreciate trying something different though.

I like the sales, especially on one-shot camos! Time to play Barbie-warrior!

Ewww, a smelly Clam mech?

Naw, we're cool - excellent prizes!

I think Matt just won MWO.

Oh and nice one PGI.

I have wanted the Nvidia Dawn cockpit item for a long time.....

[WVAnonymous]

Makes me sad, the nVidia Dawn made my founder Hunchback super identifiable as unique and old...

[Wildstreak]

Not worth it.
I have everything offered in the event except the Alien Heads, 2 colors, the decal and the Linebacker.
Tried playing a few matches, the amount of people constantly moving in line of fire and people choosing Domination then staying outside the circle, not worth the frustration.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

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.

Best thing about this event for me, is mechbay sale. I only have some <10 free right now, but plenty of MC for more. And the 270M cbills I got from skill tree upgrade.

Time for constructive thought...

Not really much I can "kvetch" about on the Event. It's not PGI's fault that anything sucks with it this time. Right now, the fault is with the Community, and how they just won't communicate in matches.


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.


Last but not least, I just caught up on the whole "PC Gamer Camo Code Fallout Debacle"... I'm a tad sad to see that we had to kill off a good thing because of some abusers. I couldn't even get in on it myself within time's allowances. Maybe PGI could add that Camo as an Event Reward, just to make it useable once people had those Chassis which it went with? I totally dunno.

Uh oh... Guess it's finally time to buy me a Kitfox-Umbrella...

Apart from this: Nice event!

1,000-1,400 missiles shot down per game on Polar.

You get double XP, so grinding 10000 is not that big deal as some are complaining.
220 XP per matxh is way below average. I think that average is above 500 XP per match.
You can also use champion mechs (i.e. Warhammer trial) to boost your XP.

[Jingseng]

Love the write up & FAQ =)

The only thing I don't love is that this stops me from playing Dead Cells ;_;

right? FP drop, 2x first win bonus of the day, + prem + victory... if you don't hit at least 8k exp (without champions even) it will be weird.

And you all have 2 drop decks =p

Personally, not sure how adding range to lrms is going to help counter lrm counters. Pretty much every lrm counter is rendered less effective by being closer and in LOS of the target.

shrug?

Edit: as mika noted below, it is match score and not exp... =(

You're not grinding XP, you're grinding match score. There's a big difference between those two numbers.

To PGI
PLEASE EXTEND THE EVENT DURATION
I'm living in school dormitory and they prohibited playing game here. I'm very horrified because event's end time is right yesterday from next test and 3 days before i go to home. But I REALLY don't want to miss this THE MOST BIGGEST SALE EVENT.

[Beaching Betty]

THANKS!!

[Fryepod]

Can't hate on the sale and bonus weekends.

+Plus the big end bonus of parting out that clan mech

Also, happy memorial (and belated) patriots day!
