Dumb Searching screen, where is the queue window?
There are four different loading screens after you got a match but nothing u can stare at while waiting....boring.

I'm liking this event stuff a lot for the most part.

But I have to say that events that involve faction play should be paying a lot more.

1000 match points of FP for a couple of paltry warhorns? Seriously not even some cbills to go with that? You guys don't know how painful and annoying faction is for pugging. You really don't.

I'm not even going to bother with any other FP events unless MC is involved.

It really depends on your perspective. If getting 1k Match Score is difficult for a player, they would be much saltier if they felt they were really missing out on some great reward. Granted, lots of us could say things like "If you have trouble getting 1k cumulative match score in 48 hours <insert insult here>", but it seems like they made the low hanging fruit the most rewarding so that those that need to pick and choose don't feel so screwed if they can't complete it all...

Doesn't seem too dead to me...

b/c you came on much later...

Is it my imagination or does killing the mech *AND* getting the KMDD net you 2 points for the Accuracy challenge?

...trust me, I'm not complaining if it does!

*notices Accuracy Challenge does not count in Faction Warfare*

....That's [censored]ing bull[censored]! I am so sick of having to choose between dropping with my team in Faction Warfare and playing these damn challenges! WTF PGI!? Put these challenges as eligible in both modes! What do you get by keeping people out of Faction Warfare!?

relax, no one said you have to do them all... the fact that they made a variety means there is something for everyone, not everything for someone...

Great event !

Time to get some extra Cbills...

Latest update to the event page is awesome, easy to spot what's over (grayed) what's running and what's coming up.

Agreed, what would be the best thing is to have a simple button at the very top that takes you to the first currently active challenge.

LOL just got 12 assists in a QP... I told team at one point "Alright, I've shot everything once, you can kill em all now!"

... I didn't realize I was actually right...

Okay... Now where's your "Philanthropist" Title?

That scout mode was a bit horrible - wanted to test the laser changes so went clan (SRM/SPL Pakhet)... just in time to meet wall to wall 4 man IS units. As I fought I watched the scout bar move steadily from totally can dominated and into the clan side. At least now they can increase that 50 ton back up to 55 I guess.

PGI should have reset Clan Drop Deck Tonnages a long time ago, and turned them back up to '250 Invasion' with '55 Scouting'... Just goes to show how much PGI hates Clanners, letting the Inner Sphere have builds like 6 SRM BushWackers and 55-ton ECM Griffins, all while Clans are stuck at 50 Tons and their highest for ECM is 45 Tons.

It likely does count... Unfortunately, this "Accuracy" portion of the Event Challenges is causing Team-ruining, Selfish GamePlay... Several times tonight, the enemy has managed to get around behind teams I've been on, and I end up dying even when the team is next to me and I'm telling them the enemy is tearing me apart. I'm beginning to think PGI should have done a different challenge based on "Savior Kill" at the same time, just to prevent Team-ruining behavior. I'm currently ending up being a "Clubbed Baby Seal" or "Hitting Puppy", instead of being able to earn for the Event Challenges.

Could either of you show me the post from PGI stating they updated to do this? I mean, I see the changes, and can understand their usefulness. But, I think I missed the In-Forums Update from PGI.

Does not appear that they are announce web page enhancements, they are just doing them and we are giving them feedback.

A question to "Oh Canada Challenge". The task of this one is to "Achieve any five Challenges during Week 4". Week 4 allready started and I finished the "Accuracy Challenge 2" during this now running Week 4. But I didn`t get a point for the "Oh Canada Challenge".

So pls Check this and change the "Oh Canada Challenge" text to something like "Achive any five Challenges of the Week 4 pool" because the actual text is just wrong. Or Correct the counting of the challenges.

"Rush Hour" is first challenge that counts toward "Oh Canada".

Edited X-Post from General Discussion:

I'm not even sure if the event masters will see this, but it seems as good a place as any to put it. Only one day to win two matches isn't great, since it's easily possible to get a pretty bad losing streak through no fault of your own, not to mention that some people just may not be able to play on a particular night.

Thought I'd ask if the one-day challenges in Week 4 could be extended to 2, or even 3, days, or if the Accuracy and XP challenges could count toward the 5 required.

eh, it's only one of the 7 so even if you miss that one, the others are all achievably grindy ones.

Yeah, I know. Most of the reason I'm asking is for people that want the "nice" award at the end without needing to play most of the days of the week. I shouldn't have too much trouble getting even the other 6, let alone 5 of them. A little bit more flexibility on the part of which days/nights get played, though, would be nice on PGI's part, since many of the players are a bit older than your average gamer, with families and jobs.
