I honestly thought that I played this game a lot, possibly too much but I am really struggling (so i guess not lol) to get the 30 games in per block of days for the Shoot n Loot event.

Im getting around 20 or so out of the 30 so far. So thats about 7 games a day or so.

Is it just me or are other fairly regular players stuggling too? (Btw totally accept that its my choice not to play more, this is not a moan about the event merely an observation of my own performance thus far)

with 5 games per hour the daily demand is a bit higher than recent events, but i think its pretty manageable
but i have to admit that im not looking to forward to the wednesday/thursday(friday block when there is no full free day involved

[Pjwned]

So far for each segment of the event it's taken me 1 quite long session to get about 20 or so games in, and then after that another decently long session to not miss out on the rest of the loot bags, and for the previous segment I realized I had only a little over an hour to get several more games in so I had to rush to finish those games at the last hour.

Unless you're intentionally rushing through games being unusually suicidal and immediately leaving the match after dying, which isn't really as fun to do, it can definitely take a while to get 30 games over 3 days.

Not struggling cuz don't care (about getting all the things). Get loot bags for most games I do get to play, more than happy about that! ymmv of course.

It's a lot of matches.. Often with events of this many drops i don't do them cause you know, other things in life..

This one, paint is nice.


(i've been doing this one in a single long night.. takes about 4 hours if you really have at it and don't take breaks. I don't try to finish quick, but if i'm dead i'll swap mechs.)

Not that I've noticed tbh. I've missed two loot bags so far, but I'm not torn up about it. I've been playing a bit more than I usually do (just to get the most of the freebies) but I also have a good bit more free time than most people on here

[Monkey Lover]

Not at all because im not even going to try lol Just play as much as you want its not worth grinding for.

[A Really Old Clan Dude]

Trying to do it on two accounts(One IS , One Clan). That's 20 games, 3 and a half hours a day. But I want those free patterns.

10 a day is ~1h at best 2h at worst scenario - perfectly doable, but utterly boring

[Johnny Z]

Another very good event, one of the easier ones, so no.

i get about 6 an hour. so it should take about 5 hours to complete each block of the event. allow another hour for dnqs (bad matches happen) and wait time. you can break that down to 2 hours a day, but i usually binge and get it done on the first. its better to fight aggressively so your games dont stretch to the full 15 minutes. thats not to say be all leeroy and be the first to die, that diminishes your results. you can get more games in less time that way. a lot of people play defensively when there is an event, enemies will circle eachother for 5 minutes before on actually starts attacking. i think this is the wrong approach and just wastes time.

[Deathlike]

The only time you are struggling is if you're not making the minimum match score and not having enough "blocks of time" each day to make it happen (2 hours min, 3 hours optimally) - accumulating the "10 successful/qualifying matches per day" to max out on the grabbags.

I'm struggling to find the will to play...

Balance underlord has given me a sour taste in my stomach.

[CycKath]

Weekend is easy as I can usually make time, its the weekdays at are the problem as i only have an hour a night of MWO time if I'm lucky.

I would be to but hope for future updates making this MC and creds have some use makes it fun. The items and colors and camos are great also.

[Wildstreak]

Played 2 matches a few days ago, got frustrated for reasons, decided to skip.
Already put enough time into last event, not hurting badly for this stuff.

Buy 2 Linebackers.

Make them 6x SRM6 and include an Airstrike.

Drive to enemy flank, airstrike as you approach, put your nose in their crotch and fire SRM6s

You'll easily do 200 damage.

When you die, exit and switch to ready linebacker and launch a new game.

[HGAK47]

Think I will just play as I do and I will get what I get. Way too many games with way too many events on at the minute and I barely have time for a single one of them lol.

[AnTi90d]

I'm having the opposite problem.

I wish we weren't restricted to only 30 bags in a 3 day period. After I've done my 30 on the 2nd day, I'm sad that further matches won't count for the event until 8PM EST on the 3rd day.

I'd prefer an event that gave us the goal of 150 and just told us we have two weeks in which to complete it..

..or, even better, an event that gave us an infinite amount of bags and said that it was running for two weeks.

[SQW]

Played 5 games on day 2 and never logged back in since.

MWO is too boring to play constantly and I'm not wasting my free time doing something so monotonous for prizes that are worth mere cents.
