Lets see if the missiles or energy event is also split up with the weapon types. I'm so not looking forward to have to do 100 damage with small lasers on IS side.

Yeah, and it's not just the so-called "Event Browser", which strangely works for me even though it doesn't for others. There's also a massive number of DropDown Menus that won't remember their ScrollBar Position in correspondence to the current Selected and/or Displayed Items in their Lists. This keeps giving me trouble on the "Video Settings" Screen, as well as several things related to both Cockpit Items and Camo Specs!

Heck, they needed to EXTEND THIS EVENT in order to give themselves time to compensate and fix the issues with various dialogs! Just letting things end without allowing some of their community some manner in which to actually redeem their Earned Event Reward Items is worse than bad business!

Yeah, PGI should not have curved the requirement on 20-sized weapons up so sharply, and the same goes for the Gauss Rifles and the exorbitantly high damage required particularly on the Clans' version. On top of that, they should Extend this Event as I noted above, but then also fix the problems before it ends under the extension time period. Further, they should avoid starting another Event unless the problems are fixed, or they put a Website Event Page up to enable those who can't use the In-Game Event Browser to Redeem what they Earned and/or at least Show The Current Progress on parts of the Event.

Pushng 2000 damage out of a clan gauss was a bit of a chore, but you can mount 2 comfortably on many mechs. Clan AC 20 was brutal to finish because it was mount 1 gun or get ghost heat.
Needing 50 damage from an ultra AC2 and getting 400 in the first game I used them in was equally silly.

They did not post the requirements on the website until people kept asking. Initially it was only an announcement and telling people to go in-game and check the event and requirements.
The in game event browser doesn't work for plenty people. The whole thread is full of posts showing screen shots of empty event logs.

I certainly wouldn't download/update the game simply because there was an event on, although I might if I knew what the rewards were

I think it should be possible to have the events screen duplicated on the web page. You already have the data presented in-game, it it is surely possible to capture it (even if say once per two hours) and present it in a similar fashion on the web portal. I agree, there would some work needed to be done to actually create a brand spanking new web page to present the data and also you would require a routine to duplicate the data from the game database, but I still believe that it would add much value to the web portal (and perhaps automate the event advertising process on the web portal).

...but then there's also the fact that they could easily have the system running both ways. The two handlers don't have to be inter-connected. They could simply maintain the data for an admittedly longer two-step process. It would just be a matter of allowing Instant Update for the Game Client still, but then doing the Delayed Processing for the Website only after that step is complete. The load on PGI's systems would remain relatively low if they used this manner of handling Progress Information Updates for any Events that they're running.
...and with all of that said, my brain is exhausted once more. Please don't mind the formatting errors that I can't see while I'm typing this post. I may have to Edit just to fix that.

Events should encourage faction play, without forcing it.
As for how to do it, it is hard to say, but if the results of your deeds doubled in faction play, perhaps that might be enough?
Maybe that touches into unreasonable territory, but given the match lengths being double and the wait times... meh.

I tried this just now. Event screen did not work in FP.
I switched back to QuickPlay and it worked. I could redeem the one Octoberfrust Challenge I picked up.
Good news eh?
There's two challenges in the Ballistic one from just over 2 weeks ago? I do not seem to be able to redeem anything there.
Dammit PGI, really? You couldn't leave a bunch prizes up until this stuff was sorted properly?
I'll post this around, hope it helps a few more people.
