Nice! I have some work to do.

*EDIT NOTE* I'll try and keep an up to date comment summary.

Comment TL;DR

• That's a lot of daily stuff, which is both good and bad.
  
• The challenges and rewards look fun, for the most part.
  
• IS mech reward. Awesome mech, but it's IS. (Options here would be nice)
  
• It's Summer time! I have all the time in the world, this is great!
  
• It's Summer time! I have absolutely no time for anything, this is awful!

* June 13 Edit*

• Schedule is still confusing for some players
  
• Protected Lights/Mediums without a Protected Heavy/Assault at the same time skewed team comps
  
• A small number of players had difficulty finding/shooting UAVs

But seriously guys, this will be harsh to complete with a real life. Either way I will give it a try!

Thumbs up!

I thought all clans only had erppcs.

Oh Canada! Here I come.

I know I'm going to be called an ungrateful *******, but what happend to the good old tradition of giving the players a couple of mechs to choose from as the grand prize? I mean, I'm happy for the IS crowd, the Battlemaster is supposed to be a decent mech. But for us Clan players, it's just a free mechbay + some C-Bills from selling the mech. Which is still good because it's free stuff, but I'd love to see each faction rewarded in equal measure.

So, you guys announce a month-long event, and I specifically ask you to NOT make it so that you have to play every day to complete the whole thing..

And what do you do?

You make it so you have to play every day.. for a month!

How will I ever go to the beach now?

You're ruining my sex life! Errr... I mean social life!

You guys..

And its all about the warhorns.. :-(

I want the Warhorns.. :-(

Suggestion for the calendar: Color code each individual challenge a different color instead of the weeks.


The weeks really do not need to be color coded as the challenges don't match up with the weeks; some are one day, some carry over from week to week and some are part of a week. To me, it would be easier to read if the challenges themselves were color coded differently instead of the weeks.


[EDIT] There is the Oh Canada! Challenge that is only for week 4. Doesn't change my thoughts on the color coding, though.


[EDIT 2] Thanks for changing the colors to match the challenges!!!

On first appearance, looked good, after considering the sheer amount of time needed to be spent across the whole month, the potential for backed up match queues when needing specific weights etc., kind of a big fail . . . . can't even award this one a "good idea but badly executed" rank, just a mess really . . .

[Dee Eight]

Well this will solve a lack of warhorns, colors and decals in my alt account.

[SuperFunkTron]

I just want to confirm if it the Invasion related (i.e faction player participation challenge)challenges are really intended to be running for only 24 hours. I love the idea of encouraging participation in FP like this but 5 FP matches in 24 hours is a hell of a challenge. I would suggest extending the time frame by a day if possible to allow for a bit of extra time to squeeze that in with the group victory challenge.

P.S. Regardless of whether or not their is an extension, thanks for the event!

They gave away a linebacker and mech bay for the previous event.

All seriousness aside, I'm surprised June 20th was not declared "Urbie Hero Day." Because isn't that what we're all really looking forward to? :-P

Edit: All kidding aside, thank you for the event. Looking forward to getting a few games in!

Holy kawaii warhorns batman /drools

Glad we had a quiet few days to prepare for this!

Clans only have 1 ppc type dont they?

Little worried about the light medium assist one having no one in heavies/assaults but otherwise looks good. And the dude aboves color coding change suggestion sounds good.

Thanks for nice event!
Is the wub wub challenge really for ERLL and not pulse lasers?
Need some new catchphrase... Bwazap?

Ah, right. Fair enough, then. Still, would be better to have a choice of an IS or Clan mech every time. This way, players from both sides would be able to get the mechs they want, instead of alternating between getting a mech and getting a free mechbay. But I guess free stuff is free stuff

[Big Tin Man]

Play 5 Invasion matches in one 24 hour period? That is pretty much a 3 hour+ time commitment. Should be extended to 48 hours.

[Peiper]

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

[Daggett]

A Wub Wub Challenge with ER Large Lasers is soo wrong. Only pulse lasers do proper wubbing!

Maybe the rumors that PGI doesn't play their own game are true if they don't even know how their weapons sound.

[MovinTarget]

Am I reading this right? the *ONLY* daily element is a single qualifying game? everything else is just complete in a certain window?
