Have his own, personal matchmaking queue, of course!

Btw, thanks for the copius event rewards PGI.

a lot of events to bring people to the servers. I refuse to play faction play until they fix it. I hate getting stuck on the dropship especially if my mech is being destroyed. A couple of mechs have been destroyed before release
This event is good for brawlers but for the support people there isn't much in a REASONABLE time frame. 50 assists in 1 day? The min match score needs to be lower, or more just participate If you don't suicide or sit there doing nothing. you should get credit for participation. everything is for the skilled players

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?

The way I play I may not win a lot of events. a lot of these goals. I consider impossible and using the time to skill my mechs. I didn't have mastered because of the rule of three. I also get maybe 6 hours a day to play MWO the rest is taken up by RL.

Nothing to da for three days in the event, was finished within three hours with both UAV challenges.

PGI could you start the lance in formation challenge on friday? I got nearly no time on saturday.

I am having a fit and a half trying to do the detect UAV. I launch them but don't get a detect message since everything is mostly visible but I want a stable way to shoot LRMs. At least I can hit with those. SRM4's at 10m and no damage

This event has brought out some pathetic games. Really pathetic games. Since this event started most of my matches both teams have been so static. Practically parking up applying the handbrake and pulling the keys out of the ignition static.

So people are getting so bored, especially in faster mechs they're running off suiciding.

Yea, its like a lot of people are just signing on for one or two games to get their match score (couple alphas into someone) then suiciding so they can go play something else. Who would have thunk it.

Speak for yourself I've fought every battle to the bitter end and as I'm in a Commando i'm almost always last to die on our side.

Where I have seen a little bit of lag affecting others (possibly mostly the Euro players as I play with them a lot), the lag is REAL today.

I've been on 2 different networks/ISP and both have been affected so maybe it isn't PGI, but its not the ISPs themselves necessarily either...

[Alakan]

Seems to be lag across all servers. I could barely move in the last faction play match I was just in. I'm on American server.

I should point out i am located in the mid-atlantic region of the US...

Yeah last night was painful for me at about 6pm in the UK. First match was perfect then second match was insane (fluctuating 450-1300 ping) right till about 75% of the way through when it suddenly dropped back to my normal 23 ping. About all I could do was pass intel and move with the group. Managed to shoot a standing still spider with dual ER PPC's though who thought he was save at roughly 1.1 km.

Of course my overall damage was still pitiful but sometimes you just have to savour the little things.

If you get 6 hours a day to play MWO and can't finish these events.... you are doing something wrong.

I was annoyed to not get the 100 MC from the FP challenge (especially after a 3000 damage, 12-kill loss) until I realized that 100 MC is approximately $0.40.

[Ertur]

Isn't the FP challenge still running? I'm just annoyed that it's a 'victory' challenge, which is super easy for clans and damned hard for IS.

[Hawk819]

I still haven't gotten my 100 MC, cause the calendar still lists me as having only won 1 battle out of two. when I won both! and I did more than enough to make the 100 pts required. Ask Shadedet and Sean Solo.

[Morggo]

Yeah, I've completed every challenge so far quick and easily.. except last night's FW challenge. Being IS, only a couple from our unit even showed up to try. I did a few but after a few total stomps I just went back to normal drops with some others and resumed having a great night.

Not sure why scouting did not require a 'win' condition but Invasion did. Had it just been match score more would have tried it I suspect, but in any case...the rewards and challenges overall are great so no big to miss out on one.

Look at the challenges.

There is both a Scouting Victory challenge (which requires scouting victories...) and a Faction Play Match Score challenge (which allows scouting or invasion but requires no victories).

It isn't 'the scouting one did not require winning but invasion did' but simply the fact that we haven't hit the challeges in the right order to make the fact that both have both obvious.

[Morggo]

Ah, well I'm just taking them as they come up each day.
Still, doesn't change the base effect that there is a definite difference in ease of completion on the invasion side. Scouting wins are much more doable for IS so that won't be too much heartburn to complete. That said, if they'd given a couple days to squeeze out a couple invasion wins or at least not done a single day on a week night I'd have left my whine in the fridge with the cheese.

Still... so much other goodies it's no big deal.

Agreed that it's a bit of a b....

[Gleitfrosch]

they should have made the scouting challenge a victory required one and the invasion should have been participation only.

IS has at least a "fair" chance to win in scouting mode.

[James Argent]

I got mine done, but with so many people (including me) experiencing pings in the thousands and multiple disconnects per match last night I could definitely support an extension of this challenge. Make it an open-ended extension for all challenges until the connection issues are resolved.

I haven't been on yet today so I don't know what it's like now, but not everyone can play during all segments of the day.
