Those can take an hour before you'll see them... Try checking about seven minutes after a new hour starts for info on the previous hour. Servers MUST have time to process the matches, or there's no way to validate for awards, so be patient!

PGI how about a Hero sale for this heroic event? I got some spare MC.

Let's hope it's a "50% Off on Hero Mechs" Sale, and "35% Off on Non-Hero Mechs" Sale alongside it. I wanted to pick up some things from the "Tukayyid 3 - Salvage Bin" (or whatever you want to call it) Sale, but missed it due to royally lacking on sleep that I needed. Anyway, if PGI isn't lacking in Common Sense, let's hope we get these sales that we want!

I like events and all, but thought up this schedule??? Why are some tasks given only 1or 2 days while others get 4 days? And harder ones get the 1 or 2 days and then something stupid easy like the UAV tasks get 4 days on its own. People with a normal work life don't game every day... yet guess what, I would wager we spend more $. So you basically alienated the working class, which is your bread and butter. Very poor lay out of this schedule. It would have been far better to have a set of tasks for a full 7 Days. Give people time to be able to get what they want to focus on... and not get cut out because your 1 day reward lands on a day a person can't get on to play.

Events are great, but you guys still seem to find a way to piss off your players with poor decisions. It's really not that hard to think some things a bit more thoroughly.

Guess the "Faction Play Victory Challange", where we have to win 2 FW invasion will be the hardest.

Most will go clan for the win and will ahve to wait for hours(?) to find a match and those who stay IS will have to play and pray for a win.

[Reno Blade]

Some nice games yesterday, but also some very bad ones (because of boats rushing).
Too bad I will be away for most the time.

I've had lag only yesterday and checked the level3 here.

Don't you have sane, competent IS friends you can group up with?

Remember, FP will be flooded with pugs on both sides, teducing the chances you will face a premade. Get your own premadr together, people that will use teamwork and optimal builds for the map/mode and you definetely stand a chance to win.

[Gleitfrosch]

My friends play other games, i have to rely on pugs in MWO.

Guess i need other friends

Hi, Im really sorry but could you prehaps share the minievent objectives your struggling to complete in 2-3 hours each day ? Ill try to help you understand how to get them done. I dont think shooting down 30 uav's is going to be easy when you have 12 other people also trying to do it and usually only 3-4 uav's are launched each game.

Because if your not willing to put 3 hours into it each day (its taking me maybe 1 hour each day per account (doing them all twice), please dont complain, it means their are more important things in your life than this game that you prioritise, the event is not supposed to be free stuff handed to you like christmas presents, it is supposed to be a reward for investing your time in the game to keep queue times down when a lot of other people are putting real life 1st. Time is Money, you have to invest one or the other, you decide.

Stop being jealous of what other people are getting / have, or you will get very depressed and instead work out what is most valuable to you, nothing in life is free.

TukTukTuk IS to Clan win - loss rate is 44% - 56% its pretty balanced, cant blame the factions sorry.

It's really not that hard to find them, you have to be willing to be part of a team, not something everyone is willing to do, but there are groups that can win on either side of the battle, because they put in the effort to build connections and mechs and prep for the mode instead of dropping in 4 lurm boats no matter what the situation and cry for locks.

Thank you for this event. A while back I commented that I really liked seeing the personal events and would like to see more of them. So far you are delivering greatly!

It still amazes me how many out there can never be happy with what you do. No one is forcing you to play the game. Play as much or as little as you like.

Most of these challenges seem quite attainable. What do you mean play for a month straight? Log on, play one game get 80 match score log off. Maybe while you're on get some of the stuff while you're at it. That took..20 minutes? If you don't get a challenge or two who cares? It's a game. Go live your lives. If that involves playing MWO, great. If not, it'll be here when you get back.

Just a tip for those in the same situation I was. I hated logging onto the mwo website and finding that I had missed the first 3 days of an event.

Do yourself a favor and FOLLOW THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FORUM!

Youll get notified every time something goes up

matchmaker sorts by tier and mech weight class, not by idiocy, cowardess, bravery, intelligence or any other human only FPS gamer factors. That I can consistently do top damage for the team in a brawling srm/ssrm crow and often more than the entire charlie lance full of back field campers combined... is not PGI's fault.

In that case Matchmaker is broken beyond all hope of repair based on the last 48 hours ...

I have taken to enquiring about people's tiers in (All) chat before the drop ship doors open - Thursday night too many times to recount I was the only tier 5 player in all tier 1 & 2 solo drop queue battles ... even got to the stage of jokingly posting to not shoot me as I was a tier 5 Umpire and not involved in the battle - even changed my camo to have white armbands on my mech (ex-military will understand that one).

The point stands that the MM is FUBAR'd utterly and completely and is the biggest cause of new players not sticking with the game.

I like this event too.
But the "UAV destruction challenge" shooting 30 UAVs in 4 days is a bit too much. When 12 men from a team heading for this it will be quite hard to acomplish.

Won't be hard at all since UAVs are obviously invisible to about 90% of the playerbase. It's only a few games where I don't shoot down atleast one or two

[James Argent]

Not to mention all the additional UAVs that will be launched with people trying to get the 'UAV detection' challenge.

[Commander A9]

Okay...I just realized that not all challenges can be earned in Faction Warfare-some are only permissible in Quickplay...

Deciding if shooting down 30 UAV's for 1,200,000 cbills for OCD completionist or playing 1 to 2 faction games to earn that much cbills in less time... hmmm.
