How do you guys get the compensation bonus?

I logged in and got nothing, tried to open the event viewer and it bugged out on me.

Lets run the odds a sec.

Lets be kind and assume a 50% win rate.

If a particular game mode has a 5% chance to occur, bayes' theorem means you have a pretty good chance for a win in all game modes after about 80 games.

Say these games take about 30 minutes and need about 10 minutes of wait time between, so PGI is asking you to play for 53 hours and 20 minutes, sound good to you?

I didn't take that long to get the mode challenges done... Took maybe half that, as a pug IS. If you did pug clan or group clan, should be getting it alot faster.

Thank you PGI for recognising people tried but couldn't complete it.

Hi all, Ty PGI for the events, and thanks too for this prize.

What surprized, and bothered me, isnt something coming from u PGI, but from all my comtemporaries :

Frustration !!! :

U are "frustrated" when u cannot reach the object of ur "desire", which, normally lead u to something call "sublimation".

Don't be able to "sublimate", is.... from the level of a 8years old boy

Today, in our formidable consumerist world, i just see ppl like that... so close to an animal state of mind....


Long story short : Mechwarriors, not everybody can win everything.... u have to accept to not be able to reach a goal... Guys ! arf sry Boys, thats a ******* game !!!

PS: i u are not married, prepare for a competition for reaching ur goal (specially if she's cute), a kind of in which u cannot go shying to the organizators...

PPS: Muahahaha dear smalls things, so far to become a "subject" !!!

MUAHAHAHAHA

Not sure what's going on.
The event never appeared in the sigma tab in game under active events.
I never got any rewards.
and it doesn't show up in recent events...

Seen some mention that an out-of-date Java version may be causing this. Not sure if true.

I already said that above many hours ago. Same page too... perhaps read before posting ? That there's nothing on the forum isn't unusual. THat's another advantage to the new in-game events tab, you get the info on the requirements of the event in-game the moment its created on the servers without any need for adcopy to be written for the webpage immediately. The majority of the player base do NOT look at the website ever.

I've got 3 Conquest wins and 3 Seige wins, with 2 Scout wins thrown in. And no sign of the backup prize. Am I alone in this?

EDIT: Or am I reading the Frustration prize wrong? Do you need 5 wins in any _single_ FP game type? I've got more than 5 in total, not in one mode.

I think I"m still emailing Support today for clarification.

I got it in about 35 games, but my winrate was way over 50%, problem was the match distribution, which followed statistical probability very closely, leaving me playing the last 2 days looking for 1 match

I won 7 Siege, but rest eg Conquest, Skirmish were 1s and 2s. So I think it has to be 5 wins in any one map mode. I got the frustration rewards injected fine.

" Mode Challenge Frustration Compensation

• Anyone who obtained more than 5 Victories in any FP mode will receive an additional 100 MC and 2 Million C-BIlls "

Knew it would probably happen but still decided not to bother with event because unlike most people who only realised while doing it what was shown was rediculous random luck i could see that before starting it, so because made decision based on information available miss out on bonus geegee =-) why do these whiners get special treatment and i dont ? =p =)

5 combined wins any mode...scouting, siege, whatever. Also it seems to be not exempt (contrary to what's written) from the tourney pack doubling, because I got double 100MC/2million payouts on all my accounts. One had 6 wins scouting & 5 wins siege. Another had at most 3 wins in any of the modes alone but combined was 10 wins.

[Sky Hawk]

OK, my fellow Players...

Since PGI had no time or mood to post ANYTHING about the next Event... And there are players who still can't see the Event Browser, or had no time to login in the game.. So..

Could you please tell us, . What the rewards and tasks are..

(Even a picture would be enough..)

Thanks!
