As nice as the "punishment" prize is, I think I prefer the flamers. That way I can at least sell the extra ones rather than looking at the 8th "Y" decal message.

Other than that, this is an awesome event! Choosing prizes along the way and knowing that there are some HUGE prizes like Mechs WITH paint jobs is incredibly generous!

Either I am missing something (wouldn't be the first time) or you are just choosing a pattern unlock, not actually getting any mechs...

Don't get me wrong, that would be AWESOME but I think it's just pattern unlocks... cool in their own right, just not "free mech" cool...

I like the format of this contest. I really like the Pick a Prize. PGI, please do not abandon this prize format.

With the color unlock coming up, is there any way we can get the hex codes to those colors? Hunting down each of the names will be ... tedious.

Unlock the max bags to 40 (from 30) or extend it 3 days more to catch up the second camo.
The first prize in 20 bags was confusing....
"Earn a "Pick a Prize" Every 20 Loot bags you acquire! (You can acquire loot-bags from Daily and/or Bonus redeems) "
Some of us did not calculate 30*5=150 for second camo.
Some others does not have the time to complete the event.

Unlock black color in prize selection.

Nice event after all! y Thanks!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Could only get 27 games the first three days so now I can't complete. I understand the goal, to spread out the playing so no one finishes in three days but it's not really fair that someone who can play 10-10-10 10-10-10 can finish but someone who can play say 10-10-4 10-10-16 can't. Maybe they should have put in a "clean up day" between each three day block.

This is lovely but I was wondering - if I unlock the pattern for a chassis and then later buy another variant of the chassis (right now I'm driving a MLX-Prime and don't own anything else) will the pattern still be unlocked for them or does it only apply to currently owned chassis?

Thanks!

Different format from previous loot bag events. Other events were daily. If you had not played on those days you would have still got nothing. I guess you would have posted you were shafted then? Guess no KY for you, hai?

Inconsiderate little brat...

Why not 15-10-4 or 20-8-1? There is nothing that prevents a player from getting most of the plays in one day. Each section covers a FULL 3 days.....

Thx PGI for free stuff

Can't wait for MW5

Yes there is, it's called real life. Especially now that it's vacation time in many countries it might mean that you for example don't have much time the first three days and a lot of time to set aside for play the next three.

They could have made it max 30 the first, max 40 the next period (with overshooting matches placeable into the first period) but kept the total. That would have helped people finish and at the same time prevented people from finishing too soon.

It will be unlocked for the chassis - each variant can apply it once you got the camo. It is "linked" to your account for this and that Mech you've chosen.

How come all Premium colors aren't available?

I could really use a silver-like gray..

Obvious reason, so you'd buy it.

This said silvers, grays and whites are somewhat prevelant in pre-order packs. I've only ever bought one white and one grey, and somehow I have about 9 different grays and three whites.

#mistlynx4life

For your question. Unlocked for the chassis means ALL variants, past present and future will have it unlocked.

I assume this is true if you 'unlock' it for a chassis you don't own.
But only one way to find out.

The decals I'm earning from this event are giving me an error when I try to Save after applying them. Anyone else? Error Code 37, I think?

Restart the game, then try it.

Did you post similar suggestions when it the drops bags were daily events, saying they should stretch it over more than one day? TADA!!!!

Stop complaining about HOW you can get your free stuff and post your suggestion for events in this subforum. But I do not believe they will do anything about just logging in one day and getting it all.. just saying

My point was that they have probably seen how people rush and do the bare minimum to get the loot with as little time and effort as possible in previous events, thereby defeating the purpose of having a lot of people playing for the entire duration. That's why they divided it this time. I understand that but they could have stretched it out and still given people a little more leeway regarding when they can/can not play.
