Oh, thats not the worse part, the players that are on are kinda just rifling though doing the minimum just to get the points in for loot. So people are playing like dog poop. Its stomp after stop from my last 10 games.

All i want is one color, then I'm done i think. This losing thing is getting to me.

I think there may be a c-bill max of 112,500 and I have gotten a couple of 50mc prizes. Otherwise, yeah mostly just fluff. Although I am looking forward to getting some more colors.

I've gotten a 500,000 cbill loot bag

Its to bolster your cache to give you some $$$ for when the new tech drops.
Though its brought out a lot of bad players.

You're not kidding. Last night was by far the worst for me when it comes to matches. Out of 15 matches I've maybe won 4 and out of those 4 I've had some very frustrating games. Now once you include the really lousy games I've gotten out of all 15 I wished they set the bar higher to get a loot bag so people have to try and play to win.

I'm don't consider myself a good player but I know that potato land is now filled with very timid potatoes. Never raged like an angry bull before. Guess it's time to weather the storm all over again.

So, has anyone noticed that the prizes for the current Shoot-N-Loot event seem a little weak compered to past events?

Not that I am complaining about getting free stuff for playing a game I enjoy.

But I seems like for past events, the prizes were a little better.

So far, after 40 matches.

No C-Bill prize more then 112,500: Total of 750,000
No MC prize more then 10: Total of 30.
2 UAV's, the C-Bill ones
Boat loads of GXP.
Tons of cockpit fluff

Are the prizes not as good this time around or am I just unlucky?

Your small sample size is telling you lies...

Random is random.

Frankly ... I don't remember when premium colors and camo patterns were in prizes ... like ever. Being able not only to get a couple of those but also choose exactly which ones you want is kinda nice.

Both colors and Camo have been prizes in the past. They had events that had levels of rewards and paint/camo was a higher one.

I want to say there was a free raven + camo, and a Adder+ camo, there might be another too. As for colors, they have given away a few premium colors. Titanium white was one for a FW event. There were a couple others but i don't recall exactly when and what colors, it's been a few years.


This time though is the first were you have been able to choose your reward which is great. On a personal note i am very said that "Lunch truck" war horn is not an option. I guess i'll be going with pyramid instead.

[LordNothing]

im getting a lot of mc. im actually supprised to see them planning to give out some patterns as well. more mech beautification pls.

Yep the pyramid and shield are both quite good as far as warhorns go. The dish is surprisingly good to, looks cool and sounds cool and isn't a dish.

If some are losing, it also means others are winning. I am getting more than the usual amount of wins in the Solo-Q, despite the pug lottery.

[Angel of Annihilation]

It is luck of the draw. I got a ton of the bonus bags from pre-orders so I have about 130 collected so far and I think I have gotten 6 warhorns, 3.4 million C-bills and 620 MC so it adds up. This time though there is more than one "Unlucky" because I already have 475k GXP sitting unused so the few hundred GXP awards I am getting a ton of are pretty useless.

Still I am really happy at the Warhorn awards because I do like to have them mounted in all the mechs I play and I am not going to complain about the C-bills and MC as I can always use more of either.

I have had it go both ways. The other day, it was just the worst teams ever but on the other hand last night was some of the most amazingly fun game play I ever had. People where just charging into each other guns blazing and match after match was just a series of guns blazing, chaotic brawls of unprecedented magnitude as people were just flaying each other alive in an attempt to do as much damage as possible while killing everything as fast as possible. Honestly I lost more then I won last night but didn't mind one bit because 80% of my matches were down to the wire close where the losing team was scoring 9,10, 11 kills with the matches being evenly matched right up to the last minute.

[Ruccus]

I think the most notable stuff I've gotten so far has been 3x1 day premium time, 2x50MC, and 2x500k c-bills. I've also gotten 5 cockpit items (7 it you count the two pick-a-prize items for having 63 loot bags).

All-in-all I'm satisfied so far; I think the only minor criticism I have is they should have put the first 'free colour' pick-a-prize at 100 bags instead of 120 (swapping with the second warhorn), but I don't think it's a huge deal.

[Scout Derek]

I mean;

I've won 5 warhorns so far.

Those are like 750MC a piece.

[mailin]

I have won a lot of warhorns too. I really want another Screaming Surat. I also wish there were some Hamster Hueys. I don't know why they amuse me, but they do. Oh, and the Baby on Board signs as well.

[Catra Lanis]

Lost the motivation to play. I have no metrics but just before Summer Event people started sucking something fierce and I saw a lot of new names. Maybe it's alts or new people trying out the game because of summer break. The result is the same... On top of that I played 11 out of 20 matches on Plexus.

is this why im a dozen pixels away from t1 right now?

[Atomic Hamster]

From the 60 loot bags I've got so far have received: 150 MC, 1 warhorn (in addition to the redeemable one), more GXP (always useful for future mechs I suppose), assorted cockpit bling and a load of c-bills. Happy enough with the MC and warhorns - and the standing trashcan with the pop-out urbie (love that).

The loot bags kept me playing through a long bad streak (normally I'd take a break) so I guess that's working as intended! However feel a bit burnt out now, so not sure if am going to try to go for the other prizes (was originally looking to get the new colour).
