The colour are from the Premium category it seems. However someone hates Blue because you are not allowed to choose any of the blue ones (which sucks because I have reds already from both the Phranken and Hotrod Steam Packs)?

@Aldodrem: There is at least one blue on the lists, "sininen", which means blue in my native Finnish.

Bummed to find out manganise and hellblau are not on the list. Those were my top blue pics. Azurite is on the list and its blue but a darker shade. I really don't understand how you come up with 42 colors from a 53 color pallet. Maybe the ones offered are the worst selling ones? Its just a silly limitation in my opinion.

Get mech, Apply color, Do I like this? If yes check it against colors I already own. OK cool I Like it. Now check it against the 42 premium colors that are actually available. Crap, not on the list. Start over. This is time consuming and convoluted. I totally understand limiting the colors to a (as in one) pallet but then to nit pick the pallet apart just makes things way more complicated then they need to be.

It would be cool if the event items, patterns and colors appeared in the "sales" tab or if a new "event" tab was created for this. Overall I love the event but I don't like hunting items and colors down to see what I actually want.

Btw you might find this helpful when looking for colors:

Then buy something and get bonus bags. $10 for a clan wave2/IIC hero light and that's 5 bonus bags and a pattern unlock. $15 for the Osiris early-adopter standard pack.

That explains why their isn't more bags than req available in the event / "a safety net overlay for the event". i hadnt thought of that. ty. Smart PGI, Smart.

I run these colours, Camo Black, Prunus and Prussian with Fractal Pattern (or Hotrod/Phranken on the Steam Mechs that were bundled with those patterns). And I too was looking for a brighter blue since the current blue I own appears dark and washed out on my BlackJack and Kintaro but bright and shiny on all my other mechs.

multiple vibro blades over different accounts, one account got the "Y" decal twice.

Its only a chassis wide pattern not an actual chassis.

yes that's what I meant. I just used the same wording from the event page thingy

[Commander A9]

Ja, just got the VibroBlade.

Interesting choice of offering a "Y" decal...

I came up short one day on my alt account so I resorted to a pre-order on the Osiris. $15....25 bags... 3 colors, camo unlock, cbills, decal and 30 days of premium time. I'm spending as little as possible on the alt account since the plan is to use it, once I get my previous PC back up and running, to intro new players to the game by having them over to play it with me. So far the only expenditures had been for a supernova standard pack (mainly because I needed some a 90 ton ton mech to fill out a clan drop deck and it came with a month of premium time), and an MC purchase during the last sale. Also bought some mech bays during the june sale. Currently the account has six clan mechs (3 SNVs, 1 SCR, 1 KFX, the prize linebacker) and one IS mech (the BLR prize for Canada Day). If we get an Mech Bundle MC pack discount soon I may pick up a dragon pack...since I could run all three and the BLR for the current 265 IS drop deck limit.

It would be nice if they announce the 2017 loyalty program requirements BEFORE the Civil War Escalation early-adopter window closes. Unfortunately they announced the 2016 requirements in August last year.

Just did a base rush on Assault mode, only 2 got over 100 match score.

I think the limit should be on 80 match score, cause we all did play that game and that should be enough to count for the event.

That would be interesting seeing as assault and incursion would essentially devolve to bilateral base rushing to end games as fast as possible to just manufacture loot bags instead of trying to have fun.

Besides, right now every player can theoretically earn a loot bag win or lose. You wouldn't like your idea some much is you were always on the losing team and only got a 10 match score b/c you didn't base rush fast enough.

Additionally, you method would potential reward afk'ers if their team wins the base race another side effect i don't think we want to encourage.

@MovinTarget: I have to agree with you... even with the absolutely stupid amount of my games that have ended with me scoring a 98 or 99... I already have 2 x 98 and 1 x 99 for today and the previous 3 day periods were even worse. :/ Today has been bad in another way. Due to technical problems, I have also managed to "play" two matches with ZERO score. :( Luckily, I managed to get a few matches in yesterday before I had to sleep, so I will probably be able to get to 30 some time tomorrow.

[Alan Hicks]

This has been one of the best events, no doubt. It made me even re-use my almost discarded alt account, since the rewards are awesome. This time it was not too short but not that long either.

For me, it was good that premium time prize did not show up so often now, that way you get to value it and do not feel too hooked up to use it.

The war-horns, yes !

Don't play bad and you'll get a bag.

"Capture the enemy base" is a valid win condition on Assault.
Dont see any "bad play" there. Sure it is not very funny, but we won and didnt get rewarded. That just made me sad.

Besides that i like the event so far and doing all the matches for the great goal is quite challenging.

[Dee Eight]

Wack all 7 base elements solo on Incursion, deal ZERO damage to any enemy mechs, and you'll get a match score over 100.

You got your rewards for the mission: C-bills and XP as always. Don't see the context between the event goal and the mission goal. If the event goal is to shoot a UAV and you just do a base rush, you will also get no event reward, just the mission reward.

[mad kat]

120 games or even 130 games before getting to pick a prize that's actually worth it. Yep time sink requirement a bit high again.
