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.

Large Lasers could be a Buzzap sound, or just rename the challenge as "Cat Toys"

Oh Canada! Challenge: Achieve any five Challenges during Week 4

Just to clarify:
If I (by some miracle) complete Accuracy 1,2 and XP 2 on the last day of week 3 does that make them no longer eligible for Oh Canada!?

Did it not involve multiple months of planning, arrangements with my (soon-to-be-ex-)wife, and promises to my kids... I might consider it.

Thanks, it's going to be funny.
But... most of "challenges" are not really challenging, just "get enoth time to play the game". While it's fine for most (low-medium) skilled players, some of us want CHALLENGES (like it was in challenge with VTR-3S(c) as grand prize.. cant remember it's name). So, dear devs, please try to combine those 2 parts - give us "easy" daily quest and one "hard" daily quest (like get 5 kills in one match in solo quick play queue or 10 kills in one match in solo faction play queue).
P.S. was looking on BLRs for a long time, but looks like now it's time to get them all and try it

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.

The whole point of events is to keep people playing to keep queue times low. Not give presents.

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

They fixed it after the guy you quoted posted.

Without premium time those XP challenges (15,000 and 20,000) take much longer time to achive.
Some people don't have premium time.

[Marius Evander]

Oh wow i hadnt noticed no premiun time this event. Thats gòod and bad.

[Brakkyn]

Amagah, confusing. I'm going to need to reread everything again to make sure I have everything straight so I know what to do and when.

[Iron Lemur]

Dear Lord, PGI, I have a family...

[Rhialto]

Amazing... there are just the 24 hours ones that could be preoblematic for some as usually in 24 hours a day it's not even garanteed you can find 1 hour to play but other than that I very welcome this event, I will do my best to grab some cool warhorns as I like to be heard when I do a kill.

This! For my comment just above about challenges with 24 hours only.

[BMKA]

It is such a good event that cannot be missed

[Cpt Contego]

With some challenges only on specific days that makes it pretty hard, I understand that they are just rewarding dedicated players, but the ones with jobs are the guys who pay PGI's bills, how about some love and make them a week by week basis instead of a specific 24-48 hour period? Hell, even up the difficulty of the challenges if you must, but please, increase to weekly basis.

Oh my god please never do this!
All this does is make people go hide, not wanting to fight, but when others have opened the mechs for them, then come out of their cover and make the kill shot.

The bigger lasers go "BUZZEMMMMMMMMM".

[Alan Hicks]

Wow , the longest event I've seen so far, with the monthly schedule and everything.

Good rewards and more warhorns are a must, so I'm in.

Got that Battlemaster already but i'm ok with another one.

The ones with jobs thaf pay their bills buy the warhorns, maybe a half price warhorns sale would appease thee?
