Havn't had too much trouble getting everything done, just playing as normal. Only 1 match so far has been a match that I got below 100 so that helps. I am unfortunately trveling this week and while I do have MWO on my laptop, it's not *great* so I binged all 30 matches today (about 5 matches an hour) and will try and do as many as I can over the week before binging the last couple when I get back before it resets but it might be close.

My opinion?

TOO many pilots put too much into these events, Just play the game as normal and rewards will come.

Loot bags and prize selections are freebies, altho I a very pleased to see colours and camos offered as a choice.

Already have 90/90 with 2 days to go on current time slot. Drop in a light or medium for faster time.

You can also still preorder one of the escalation packs for 25 drops that count toward the total.

I tried to rush a lot of matches over the weekend due to work, ended up doing 25 quals in 2-3 hours but it was super painful. A lot of really bad matches, even missed some scores.

Probably better to try it slower over a longer period of time. Since I wanted the nightstar anyways, will prob use that to bolster the ones I missed.

Considering that it costs 1000 MC to get a color, and the grab bags are giving 5 MC, I wouldn't worry too much about losing a few bags. Play the game normally, the event isn't giving a whole lot of stuff for the effort required to get it.

It is nice to get the rewards mind you, but you could miss this event and be just fine.

Well, now that I realize it is impossible to get 150 bags starting fresh, now, due to the 30 bags over 3 days limit, I definitely won't be playing. What's the point?

I'll go grease some ppl in 'nam or hell, been playing Supreme Commander online again after a decade and having a hell of a lot of fun.

The reward is off of matches, the bags are a separate thing. You can still rock out 150 matches in a day, on the last day as far as I know. The reward bags are based off of days, and aren't exactly awe shattering.

Just be passive most of the round, stay alive as long as you can and it is easy.

I disagree. I find it's best to be aggressive and get drop after drop in to burn through Quickplay matches for the event so I can get back to CW.

It's alot slower to do the event grind than it used to be with the new map voting mechanic, but still, launch with an event mech, drop, hit 'o' and hold 'w', get your points in an move to the next mech. Pretty quick for me. (Note: an 'Event mech' is any mech that can deal 200 damage before their own override blows 'em up.)

5 games in the morning, and 5 games at night. No problemo.

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.

This. I was having 10x more fun playing 4v4 on PTS till they shut it down.

12v12 has gotten really boring. Playing 4v4 has just made me wish they would go back to 8v8 for quickplay.

Because you get way more tactical games when you have less mechs on the map. And a lot of the maps just feel like they arnt big enough to accommodate 12v12 anyway.

Aye. I did my 10 for the day easily last night, in fact I might have done 15? Couple hours, doesn't take long.

That said the colours are average at best, so I'm not really worried if I miss out here/there as I've got heaps of MC/CBills sitting there. I will continue with my 5 colours after 20 months of playing

Considering I took the weekend to go to a different city and visit relatives, and also get a nice swim.. I'm a bit behind on the curve.. skipped the second 3-day slot entirely.. which sucks cose' now I can't even get the good rewards.. oh well..

[Antiparticle]

Yeah, 30 per three days is a bit much. I have a fulltime job and other things to do too, I don't have a whole lot of time for playing videogames on weekdays. And I might want to play something else besides MWO too. Yes, I know, no one's forcing me to get 100% of the bags.. but Mein Looten!!

[PhoenixFire55]

I wish the required matchscore was 300+ ...

[C E Dwyer]

I haven't tried to hit the daily target.

It's a finite maximum, not a must do each day total.

The most I've done over a three day period is 22, the second three days was less than 10.

What do you mean? If you do 27 games the first three day block you're screwed. You can't catch up or am I missing something?

Yup. Not even trying. With my schedule I knew it would be an impossibility. I try and play daily, I get about an hour if I am lucky. I'm rarely that lucky.

[Baron Zen]

Nope i usually get around 40 games even more, and consider that 90% are FW .

[PyckenZot]

It is indeed a fairly heavy grind event taking PGI's track record into account. Still manageable but nowhere near as easy as usual. Still nowhere near as intensive and the WoWS events

Then again, we also get quite some MC worth out of it,...
