Okay, maybe I am a bit blind, but where is it explained in detail that IS / Clan has to win to get their mech?The criteria for getting the mechs is as following:

Earn 150 Matchscore 12 Times (Any FP Mode, IS only)

Nothing else noted there, so perhaps I have overseen something.

it is only visible in the ingame event browser, not on the website.

@Dee Eight: I was looking at the webpage information, which is lacking some information from the ingame details.
This has been pointed out by someone else on another thread.

PGI should fix that asap, or we will see a lot of salt on forums.

How are the words... "ANY FP MODE" not at all clear ? Scouting is a FP mode last I checked.

Quite simple really, do they mean scouting and invasion, or do they mean all game modes in invasion?
Unfortunately the terms have been used interchangeably before, hence the request for clarification.
I do not particularly feel like playing a lot of invasion games, but I would be keen for scouting games, if all can be achieved via scouting my friend and I can play clam, if its invasion, then I have to go speroid as he has only 2 clam mechs. Once I click that sign contract, the horse has bolted, so double checking beforehand is quite sane.

is there 12 active kurita pilots on at the same time to make a full FW drop?

[Its my first day]

Well, I like it. I just have to figure out how to become a loyalist. I think I know how, but I'll go ask the newbie forum to be sure.

I'd suggest, though, that event like this should be announced long enough ahead of time to allow people enough time to transfer loyalty and join the event. It obviously doesn't apply to me, but that does seem to be a valid complaint that some have.

no, people would change loyalty during event to get all redeems.

in my opinion loyalists should not be able to join events during the week cool down after breaking a contract.

The big question for PGI is:

On this (and recent previous events) what happens for those of us that STILL can't access the in-game event browser at the end of the two week post-event mark? Will we still be awarded our earned prizes?

Yee.. Three weeks ago, they tried to track down the problem, but since then, they don't even bother to answer anything on this subject... No "still working on" or .. "we will figure something out".. nothing... Not a single word...

I guess,... we, "Browserles Players" are such a minority, that PGI just decided, not to care about us anymore... It's cheaper for them, to go on and not to waste any more time about, what bug they built in the Event Browser...

It is very nice to see more and more events pop out every month. This one seems intriguing and a good idea to build upon - in specific events that represent the current situation on the galaxy map.

I was considering changing sides for a bit since the balance in FW is way off lately, but I am not going to miss that Mist Lynx. I am pretty sure I am not the only one to do so. It seems that a stronger gesture towards IS (in term of prizes) would be very welcome in the next iterations of the event.

I don't understand why only 2 groups of loyalist get most of the cool rewards from an event! Every body likes colors, patterns and warhorns.
For example if you have 2 children, you buy toys only for one of them?!

People still play FW? I'm not even sure an event could coerce me.

I would imagine that everyone gets their turn, just not everyone at once.

LOL let IS win .The mystlinx as a reward is a joke when IS get a freakin Mauler.

...and my 3 year old daughter would have made more clear what this is about and what you receive at
certain points .loyalist or mercenary award or even freelancer ?? spoils of war ? 10000 100 times WTF

U don´t get me to FP queue for a lousy Mystlinx and a handful c bills ..pffft

Are you nuts? I can TRASH a Mauler in a Myst Lynx.

it´s about equal value in C_bills,and that u can kill assaults with light mechs is no secret, but it makes them not equal when it comes to giving them as a reward

[Willothius]

Faction specific rewards should include Faction Points.
Also takes care of Faction hopping, since it's relatively pointless to get a bunch of FP for each faction you switch to, so it would promote (up to a degree) investing in one faction and actually being, you know, loyal.

Looks like there is an interesting few days ahead, and I enjoy picking up additional Mechs as reward content.

The only thing that bothers me is where did the idea come from that a Mist Lynx and a Mauler are of equivalent value? They are nowhere near equivalent Tonnage. They are nowhere near equivalent Armor or Structure. They are nowhere near equivalent Capability. They are nowhere near equivalent Firepower either. The tiny little Mist Lynx does NOT really have that much Mobility to use. I am left with questions here. Why is there not a Clan Mech of equal Tonnage and Capability to the Mauler up for the earning?

~Mr. D. V. "Oh well... I probably needed another 25-Ton Mech anyway, even if I didn't realize it." Devnull

COz to give IS any "chance" of winning its got to be more appealing for them to want the Mauler and play for the IS, to me its obvious maybe not for you, its not about mech vs mech.

Again its about trying to garner more support for IS in FP, as we all know IS never "Win" FP events as clan are OP for Dayz...especially in support...its about giving IS some "chance" of winning...its not gonna happen anyway so njoy your Myst lynx!

won´t help cause more players does, only mean more bad players too so more losses ...

[Electroflameageddon]

This is good start to reward loyalists.

Faction specific rewards for FW has been seriously lacking. No real benefits for joining a faction which has been discussed in the forums forever. So yeah, tossing out some faction specific bling is nice.

So it's Kurita and Smoke Jaguar this time? OK, cool. Eventually it might be a Davion specific event.

Not going to join the snakes for decals and cockpit items, but I might fight next to them since there are some rewards for joining.

Now if only we had some new maps to challenge us.

Plenty of C-Bills to be won!
9 Million if you earn above 150 match score in 12 matches even if you lose
The only Loyalist rewards are Customization Content.

I am listening to your feedback guys really trying to make the events fun.
I am looking forward to making some Clan VS Clan events and IS vs IS events in the near future.

Looks like the Web page isn't showing the criteria for Win/Loss we will fix that asap.

Only problem I have is that it takes 7 days for a current loyalist to break faction and participate. Seeing as this is the first event of it's kind, a Capital City battle, one would think there would be a way to participate along side the current faction loyalists and Mercs that can break contract in time. A cbill penalty or perhaps a one-time event based option.

Soooo....how can this be the Battle of Luthien, fought in January 3052, when the game has now been advanced to the 3057-3060 time frame, complete with new technology?

Should have done this two years ago...
