You know, folks, if you're going to complain about the prizes and ask for something different, ask for some MAPS!

Giving out maps as prizes? Now that's a fresh idea. Not sure what you're going to do with your personal map, though :D

Come on guys, you only have to play daily if you want to max out the rewards. It is not that big a deal if you miss a day or two or ten. Just have fun and play like you normally do and most of the stuff will just come. It is an extra bonus for playing the game. If you do not want to play and want to do something else then just do so.

Lots of free MC, free Mech Bays and a free Mech for the wallet closed crowd.

Nice event. Why complain?

Lots of variety and creativity in all the challenges is nice to see. But that doesn't make up for forcing people to play every day for the better part of a month, nothing ever makes up for that. Either run the challenges by week, or just all at once. This every day nonsense is never fun, no matter the reward.

That said, a lot of the rewards are really nice ones.

Why complain? Because they could have all the same events and rewards, even the event names and the total length of the event the same. But not be so controlling in how they're completed. They could just as easily have all the challenges for each week, go for the whole week.

I'm still going to do them, because those rewards are worth it. But it would be so much more enjoyable for most, to be able to do the challenges for a week in a day or two when they've got the most time, instead of having to try and make the time each and every day they want to go for one of the challenges.

I will charge usage fees for those who want to fight there, and tolls for those who just want to pass through. It takes lots of C-Bills to replant trees, and put up new light poles. And all that crap I have to install for incursion drops... that takes even more money! My chief goal will be to develop a new armor made from the stuff buildings are made out of to sell on the black market. They're friggin indestructible!

Uh, wow! Lots of things to do over the next month.

Rewards look good, though the beginning-of-month ones seem so-so.

Criteria fairly reasonable. Mostly. (IS Small Lasers? Really? Posted Image That's just mean.) (Yes, I know it isn't much damage, but still...)

P.S. This, of course, coincides with the busiest month at work. Typical! Posted Image

Holy Cow!

First I looked and said, ok, not bad.

Then I realized all the other little events built into this. Not enough time in the day for all the games, augh!

Hey guys!

Thanks for the reports and feedback. We changed the Calendar appearance to be clearer and easier on the eyes with color coding each challenge rather than week.

We also fixed the typo's with the Zap! PPC's requirements and oh my god I know, Wub Wub should have been pulse lasers!!! What was I thinking?!?! Do you guys have a better sound effect to change it to? Please don't say "PEWWWWW"...

And last note, I realized the first day of challenges was pretty heavy, so we changed the Faction Player Participation Challenge to "Play 2 Faction Play Invasion Matches" instead of 5.

Thanks PGI! I am so glad I spent money on this game to support it. It is worth every penny! This event is definitely appealing to the crowd of teenagers/young adults that just recent started summer break from their schools. We need new blood playing this game.

Color coding of events is alredy there - you have to login and go to the event page to see it.

Thanks for the change on the FP games. I know it's just a warhorn prize, but it's really nice to have collectable prizes for reasonable effort :)
