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.

How do you expect average PUG IS loyalist to do this FW victory challenge in one day? My unit is busy with some other event and I cannot afford to sit whole night to hope I would get lucky to do it. Just not worth it. After shooting battery carrying mech and Tukkayid thing this seems to be a strange decision.

I second that scouting should be victory and invasion should be participation only!

PGI should extend the challenge and make it participation only.

I also can't do all the event and that's it, I try to aim for the ones I really want and can do

If you don't have peeps to drop with, its tough on either side... honestly there are so many desperate PUGs that if you put together a half coordinated team, you have a chance!

SO I tried the invasion part of the event with my unit tonight .... usual result - me a tier 5 in a drop with 12 tier 1s and 2s on the enemy team, then dropship glitched in my 2nd mech every battle and had to sit there to the end.

This sh1t gets old fast PGI - fix that damned dropship glitching and fix the matchmaker (for both pug and faction drops)!

What's that you say? Not enough players for proper tiered matchmaking? Well whose fault is that for not marketing the game enough? Clue - it's not the players at fault.

[Tacheyon]

I was able to get in on 4 Faction drops today. And I know I won 2 of them with at least 100 match score...yet the scoreboard still says 1 of 2 even 2 hours out.

Try Right side Shift F11 and select a different mech for the getting stuck in mech select dropship screen (PGI SHOULD MAKE THIS BUG FIXING TIP SHOWN ON EVERY DROP IF THEY CANT FIX THE BUG).

In regards to matchmaker, I would say it is pgi's fault, but not for lack of marketing, but for lack of putting a good MM while simultaneously running a large VERY rewarding CW/FP event that people cant click QP without being told is going on in a popup when you hit QP, people try it and quickly leave because of being stomped, and thats not the organised good players fault, its the lack of mm's fault.

Still annoyed that all of the challenges can't be done in Faction Play.

Whatever. XD

Ok so far the UAVs were the only thing I was not able to do. I am frustrated by the ping-pong with the connections and the lag jumps in the game, the disco. I am happy that I have seen some people on my friend list I have not seen since the holidays. As always am happy for the free stuff.

[Aramuside]

Well found the weakness to this days lance challenge... a DC in every match in my lance so far...

[Commander A9]

....why the hell does the Bzzzzt! challenge not start at UTC 0000?

If your really struggling to get 20 in formations heres what you can do.

Open map ( click the take company command button, move the 1st 2 dead people into your lance and stay near the one other living guy in your lance. That way it only takes 2 ppl to be in formation, and 20 isn't that hard, i remember events when it was about 100.

We couldn't get any lance bonuses at all with DC people from the start so I'm guessing unless the enemy kill them that won't work?

Today forcibly reminds me of the flaw of the group queue - with the weight limits its bring dominated by 2-3 person premade groups as they're so heavily out tonning. Last match they had six assaults (mostly BLR-2C and MAD-IIC)... we had none.

[Marius Evander]

no, if you move the DC out of your lance you can get lance in formation with other people.

[Apollo777]

Frustration is in high level now with this DC thing, middel of the fight got DC! WT....

Odd, where it was pretty bad for me a few days ago, the last 48 hours has been fairly solid.

Yeah mine was perfect in a lot of matches today - very welcome change.

Please cancel this bloody event!!!

I don't know what genius (are there any?) at PGI thought it would be a good idea to have an event running for a bloody month but its resulting in constant 'Event' game play.

The teams have been atrocious since this event started, much worse than normal and the matches just well. 'I really should uninstall this trash level of bad'.

Or has it coincided with HBS beta i wonder...

Please do as you constantly claim you will and complain, complain, complain, complain.

Coincidentally you are the common factor on all the teams you're complaining about... are you sure its them?

PS: My teams have generally been great or evenly balanced.

Going to take back my prior comment, we're back to dc's and ping spikes.
