I actually like FP events, makes the matchmaking quicker than quick play even...
Though, that's probably just because quick play is too picky now x'D

Either way, time to farm that rep up for mech bays, whether you're a scrub pub or not!

This is just so frustrating ...

wrong modes coming up all the time
And I had to sacrifice my normal drop decks to bring a Clan Assault which I normally don't... And then playing a game and seeing no progress in the challenge because all the damage in the world does not count, if you did not fire the final shot.

[Dee Eight]

Run two assaults and two lights, eliminate the assault goal requirements in fewer matches, then return to your normal deck layout.

[Wuffel]

Since my unit just switched to Clan, I only have 2 clan assaults, kdk und exe ...

Does not leave enough tons for 2 additional lights because ... no Fire Moth

Call to IS Pilots to Eject before dying to deny the Clans the Kills

I feel ya. It's so frustrating! Especially, the kills portion. get one set up and ready to go, and someone comes along and takes it from you.

Any chance we could get conquest weighted a little more? Have yet to see it once since the start of the event.

[VXJaeger]

General IS players are nauseatingly bad. I mean full potato, and even that is a compliment.

That's exactly what I did. Light and Assault are done now, Medium and heavy will only take another 2-3 drops to finish.

However, I still only have wins in Siege, Assault and Scouting, even though I've probably had 16-20 drops by now, because matchmaker.

I am just gonna make a few suggestions on how to make this a tad better for everyone and more enjoyable if a event like this should occur in the future.

soo im sure PGI can see how many % that ppl use in each FW drop. and then do the numbers based on that,

my guess is the stats would show us something like ppl use way more heavys and meds then assaults and lights,

so make the requirements on what you need to do based on that. that way you also wont have ppl dropping stupid drop decks just to finish there event and screw up a team for it.

and yeah use KMDD instead of Kills.

tldr: up the reqs for meds and heavys down the reqs for assaults lights are prolly ok ;D

[Holy Jackson]

well between 7 discord and TS channels, I see one premade that is full on the IS side.

Thanks PGI for dropping 3 new clans with 50% money bonuses on the clan side to make sure that nobody would be on IS for this event but pugs.

Me, I'd switch the Solo Kills over to KMDD. And I can't see why they didn't go with Savior Kills and Protect Light, Medium, Heavy and Assaults as well. I've been getting those all dab gum day.

[Rodrigo Martinez]

Got a siege victory but it's not listed while kills and solo kills were counted correctly.

[Skull Rucker]

i also agree - KMDD over solo kills in FP particularly.

As others have pointed out it discourages teamwork for newer players.
Assists, Savior kills, etc. are better incentives.

Winning in specific modes as a requirement is frustrating because it's randomized. It gets people in the queue, but I'd rather wait longer if there was an option to choose my game, if this is the requirement.

Buy a highlander for cbills... use the exe, 55 tons left. A year ago they were referring to the HGN2Cs as pocket kodiaks (a reference to the british media in the 1930s calling the german deutchland class of panzershiffs as pocket battleships) but that was before paul acted like a nerf herder on the bears. Now... except for top speed...they're everything the bears were and more. They all have structure/armor quirks. They';re the most agile of the 90 ton clan assaults, and also more agile than Night Gyrs and Marauder 2Cs as well. And if you compared an engine maxed HGN2C to a equivalent top speed Kodiak...the highlander has more free tonnage available for weapons/armor/equipment. .

UI is broken

literally unplayable

You know you have to click on active events to see the currently active event right ? Have you bothered to actually use the repair tool ?

[Commander A9]

With the exception of the game type challenge, I managed to finish all mech type-specific challenges this evening.

Was entertaining, but now I feel unfulfilled. I need something more to sink my teeth into!

yep same thing here for me. I can see some progress was made but its not quite working for every one yet again

I get the same thing, even put in a help ticket regarding it. They told me they can not get it to happen on their end and to give it 15 minutes to catch up. I gave it an hour and nothing. Unreadable and unusable. I do not know if they check the forums or not, but they response I got from tech support made it sound like I was the first person to fill out a help ticket on it.

So if this is happening to you too, I strongly suggest sending in a help ticket via email to show them that there are more than just one person with this issue.

Have this issue on two separate computers. I got the same suggestions and answers from tech support when the new system went active. Tried all the forum 'workarounds. Still Unusable.

Only thing I haven't tried is downloading Steam, which (if it works) isn't a fix for the original issue.

Can't speak for Millian, but I've run the repair tool a couple of times on both computers. Clicking on the events does nothing.

[Baron Blitz Fokheimer]

I don't have this problem, but what if the event stats being run externally to the game servers, or something? They used to be web-based after all. In that case, it could be a connectivity issue.

[Mech My Day]

I finished light, med and hvy. Hated it. Worst event so far. Gave up on asslt and stupid "win of every type" thing. Siege came up almost every match. Siege sucks. Enjoyed conquest and incursion in fp, but those only.came.up one each in two dozen matches. No other modes came up at all. Will not do another fp contest again.
