Some of these rewards make me realize I really need to start grouping in this game.

Interesting concept for an event and spread out over some time.

I look at all that and i think in future they should think about giving "mech warrior prize tokens" out as rewards and then let people spend them in a prize shop. Saves people getting prizes they already have.

I have used battlemasters as Stalkers with stripped arm armor before... Trouble is that arms carry many of the DHS in that build.

I like that they're giving tons of stuff away over that long a period but could do with a lot less calendar tracking.

You can complete any five challenges before the final week and it'll count towards "Oh Canada!" right? I hope so. :o

I'm so ridiculously pleased they changed the Faction Play game challenge to TWO instead of FIVE. I was already thinking how in the hell am I going to manage to get into five of those on a Wednesday night with all the life-stuff getting in the way.

And the calendar now looks better than the initial version did. Why do they keep do that kind of thing? Posted Image

It says during Week 4, so no.

I really hoped that "month long" won't mean I have to play every day for a month to finish the event.. but guess what? It does..

Some of us have lives outside of the game PGI!

I don't think I'll be able to finish this one.. especially not on all of my accounts.. :-(

Same here, when you have to play every day to get the big prizes it gets to be a bit much, especially if, like me, that 'got to finish it all' approach causes friction elsewhere...

Actually just a small laser, as in 1 single small laser. IS or Clan.

"Additional Notes:
You must achieve at least 200 DMG with one of the specified weapons. Accumulating 100 DMG with the IS Small Laser and 100 DMG with the Clan Small Laser would not count."

Also to note, looking at the other weapon challenges they also state the same, use only a single weapon to achieve the damage stated.

It doesn't mean just one small laser on your build, it means you can't get half the challenge in a clan mech and the other half in an IS mech. It doesn't say anything about not being able to boat smalls and qualify quickly

The layout of the challenge pages are getting worse and worse, Way to much stuff going on here...


I'm far to lazy to read and worry about any of that. I will just play as normal and see what i end up with. Whatever happen to simple events? Not jump through 31 hoops over 30 days? Makes me wanna play less when they are trying to DRAG me out there every day.


Reminds of a g/f i once had, she was a bit clingy.


But anyway, good luck chaps! Hope you all have a blast spending summer inside with PGI! :P
