I must however ask our friends at PGI if they would consider adding the Nova Cat and Steel Adder decals to the 3,200 level reward?

They should definitely add those decal rewards. I want a Nova Cat decal.
(Obviously I am a Steiner-loyalist, so guess what decal I already have...)

Is this working? The last contest and this contest isn't counting my games - and yes, I meet criteria.

[Fauxwise]

The event page is updated every hour (maybe a few minutes past), and only faction matches count.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

The event page is not clear about only invasion mode couts for the upper part.

But it does as I played a scout match two hours ago and it's not in the results.

[Major Lag]

Match score is heavily dependent on surviving mechs at the end. If you only lose one (and doing good in it) and manage to hide for the remainder of the match, then you should be able do easily score 600+. Since this is not rocket science not a heavily guarded secret, I surely expect the event-induced gameplay to thoroughly suck. Even more so than regular non-MM'ed faction play matches.

Have fun everyone, without me.

Summation of event so far

....... cool lets try faction play and not talk.... mmm didn't win ... try again oh didn't win ...

I wonder if its ...
- Mechs and weapons are now closer *
- The Drop decks Tonnage haven't been altered causing an advantage **
- People dropping in and thinking that its even balanced game i.e. Closer to the balance of QP which also can be sketchy at times, FP requires more Team play and not helping the new Warriors to learn only makes the experience worst for everyone ( been mentioned before but ill say it again " try to find a team and tag along"). That's what I'll be doing, you may not win but at least you have a better time
- the lack of Communication, I'll say its hard for a group PUGs to communicate when they are not confident in a game mode that they don't normally play and are not aware of the disadvantage they may or may not and the counter to this (I know sort of merges with previous point but hey thanks for reading)



* - debate this all you like but it was kind of why the timeline was brought forward
** - I also played before when IS Drop Deck Tonnage had not been altered and that was **** too

Faction match opportunities aren't popping up. ...I've got 2 hours of play time before work.

12 800 (twelve thousand eight hundred) points to unlock a pattern? Seriously?

Meh. Cool sale and all, but after Tukayyid I can't bring myself to do anymore FP in general, let alone loot bag events where the rewards are almost strictly cosmetic and offer no tangible advantage.

It's crazy how the FP rewards are always far worse than the QP ones, despite FP taking 5x as long to get accomplished.

A pattern is only worth 75mc per mech. Its pretty much worthless. Go for the colour, thats 1000mc and you can use it on every mech you own. Dont even try for the pattern, theres absolutely no reason to endure fw for one 75mc.

To be fair you are talking about "one shot". The prize on the other hand is "unlockable" which is way more expensive. But it's still not worth it.

Thats true, you have the choice to pay 750mc to apply a pattern once to a mech or 75mc to apply a pattern once to a mech. I wouldnt use the same pattern on a chassis twice, who does?

I was excited for this event. Then I found out that every time I re-spawn I get the drop screen locked on and have to leave. This is annoying because then I don't get any rewards and have to wait 5 extra minuets between games. Please fix this and the chat bug PGI

[iminbagdad]

FW is bad and you should feel bad PGI.

This and the last FW events are the worst kind of grind. its NOT FUN, and games should be FUN.

Just had a game where we won Incursion mode via base damage. We won the game, and 4 of us didn't get 150 points since they were running energy and base attacking. The enemy team lost, barely touching our base, and every one of them got 200 points+ due to damage.

Huh. I wonder what that should tell you about base rushing? What could the message possibly be? It's so cryptic...

try to change mechs in that screen, helps me to drop again... but takes like double time of a normal drop

[KrocodockleTheBooBoxLoader-GetIn]

I totally get it now. Does count for clans and match score challenge part is easy. The people that are complaining about a fw event are the same potatoes bringing lrms every time. This event is fantastic

[Twilight Fenrir]

I miss the old CW game modes...

I got to run 3 matches on the Invasion game type yesterday, and it was a blast <3 I miss those days... the new like regular queue but longer thing is not nearly as much fun....

The whole 'like regular queue but longer' was how PGI decided to address complaints that they had essentially created a single game-mode with six maps and then ignored it for almost two years.

I actually like conquest better in FW because players have to actually pay attention to resource spawns. Otherwise... Meh.
