The 12 game prize depends on if it's Clan or IS that wins at the very end of the event. If your side wins, you get a mech. If your side loses, you get 4 mil cbills.

Is there a running tally of how each side is doing?

[G SE7EN7]

I think the decision for 150 match score was a great move. Really makes teams play for the win to make their score.

As previously posted, the Luthien event should start recording properly after 3:00PM PDT.

What about unregistered matches until 03:00PM PDT?!

Edit: I got it done today, by 12 matches scouting in few hours.

a one two punch of a broken start to an event and such patch notes wee

[mad kat]

C'mon pgi sort your **** out. So I've lost last night's scouting matches that qualified. A lot of us can't and won't sit in front of our computer's for hours on end. We have you know lives and wife's etc.Please stop being so incompetent all the time and give back those games.

It does not matter if you WIN or LOOSE .... YOU need to have a MATCHSCORE of 150+ !

anyone having an issue getting the 12 game reward? or are you supposed to play a 13trh? It shows the unlocked lock at event screen and when I go to the 12 win, shows a checkmark but not unlocked.

You cant claim your mech or Cbill reward BEFORE the event has finished, as it isnt decided WHAT you can claim before the end of the event


Sadly PGI cant fix your problems ( not beeing able to READ the details of the event ) except by BANNING YOU for INCOMPETENCE ;-P

Wow!
The mimimi in here is huge!
People bitching about the value of the rewards.
For playing 12 games (even if you loose you get 150 matchscore easily, if not you should uninstall MWO) you get 6 million C-Bills, plus the C-Bills earned from playing, another 6-12 million C-Bills (depending on if you win or loose), plus a mech bay, plus 4 million C-Bills if your faction looses or a mech if your faction wins. That´s something between 16-22 million C-Bills and a mech bay if you loose or 12-18 million C-Bills and a mech if you win.
When i see the amount of C-Bills, i personally don´t care if the value of the Koshi and the Mauler aren´t the same.

And PGI you should really try to make the games before the fix count or you will really piss a lot of people off.

[Wuffel]

So, the 4 (or was it 5) wins from yesterday do not count. Goob Job, PGI. Stupid me, for actually organizing and getting together to get some games as a group.

Today, I'm pugging it and getting rekt by other organized groups. Or I could just do my work planned for Saturday and Sunday which I did not do on Friday because I thought I was contributing to the event. Again, stupid me for playing your game ...

Q: PGi why do we have to fall back into mechlab after a faction game that makes no sense at all., keep it on the innersphere map as usual

cauz of bad object oriented language analysis of the situation.

Said i bad? i mean because of the total lack of "ergonomie", cauz, cannot be smart as apple in the "easy to use by final customer" anyone.

Vote for a new GUI !!

PS: even the new event tab is a pain: when i clik on the epsilon key, i should DIRECTLY arrive on the actual event page, instead, i need 1 clic for accessing the page, analysis of the page, 1 other clic for actual event, if several, another analysis for cliking on the one i search for, and finally, a last clic for open/reward.

Damn, one of the easiest way i ever saw !

Fine....you lost some matches...and once they fixed the problem they extended the end time of the event to make up for the lost 7 hours. Get over it. You don't need to play invasion at all unless you care about the mech/no mech outcome. Just do all the required 150 match score events in scouting. Get the guaranteed 100MC, mech bay and 10 million cbills that way. Then later play the invasion mode.

Where does it say that they extended the event time? Cannot find that piece of information (maybe I'm just blinded by all the salty tears in my eyes)

Edited by Wuffel, 14 October 2017 - 01:27 AM.

[Dee Eight]

This event should take no time to hit all the individual objective goals anyway. 2-3 hours range to get off just scouting matches for the dozen 150 match scores.

[The Mysterious Fox]

just get damage in, win or lose you will get your 150. Dont be those players that abandon the team to play the clock, you wont get anything even if you somehow win.

The duration of the event did not start until they fixed the phase. So the entire event was just delayed by a cycle. It sucks but we still have the same time availeble to finish in.

Not true. The time started counting down when the event was supposed to start and wasn't reset at the start of the next cycle.
We've lost that time and any games we played before the 3pm PST cycle started.

My Feedback

Event too easy to get rewards and get it done for the quality of the rewards if you did it in scouting, a lot harder and probably too long in time consuming for non premade people in 12 man queueing.

I was sad that the event was not starting till 2am AEST, then I found out today it was buggy, so glad i didnt stay up and glad it didnt start in my evening or I would have wasted my time =), instead finished it between 9am and 1pm Saturday, mainly in scouting but joined a premade for a few 12 man drop games too.

Thankyou for the great free stuff,

You should split Scouting and 12 man events in the future, They can run simultaneously, but Seperate them so you can tailor reward quality to effort required in a more balanced way to cater to the majority, rather than pushing anyone with a brain into Scouting to "get it done" and leaving 12 man almost as dead as ever.

Also, as usual, missing Clarification on things like, Does clan Have to Win (final 5% of the bar?) and IS wins in the rest of the bar ? (other 95% )? or will IS get reward only if the bar is in the IS 5% for winning?

If people have brains and use them this event is actually ANTI-LOYALIST ANTI-GROUP and is in fact Lone-Wolf encouraging, as long as your not working on rep with one of the factions involved. (I cant decide if I want to join Smoke jag Loyalist at rank 11 and then have to get it to rank 15 or lose all that effort for the Smoke Grey since powers that be in their wisdom added the 25% desertion penalty which really only hurts the majority and does not discourage the few who have time to do the things the powers that be dont want us doing.
(its more efficient to get to rank 15 in 2 factions for MC than do the slog from 15-20..... that is another thing that discourages loyalists and promotes merc, even if you are merc loyalisting, I am just Glad Steiner is the only IS faction I got past lvl 6, and got it to rank 15 before these faction conflict events started, so YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY EARNT IS 25% REPS YOU WANT NOW!, you have just futher killed faction loyalty with this event structure.)

ALL your desertion 7 days does is irritate your excessive timesink players, annoy your lorefan's and encourage new people not to play the gamemode, who in their right mind who is just starting out (4 good mechs for a dropdeck) is going to waste 8+ hours of 12v12 gameplay getting no cbill/xp rewards to expand their mech collection, Probation period is probably THEE DUMBEST THING pgi has ever done.

Why this does not work? Why there is NO Urgent Call To Arms for freelancers?

Mechrophilia, on 13 October 2017 - 02:47 PM, said:

I don't see any call to arms either. Is it broken, or are us freelancers excluded from this one?

gh0s7m3rc, on 13 October 2017 - 05:27 PM, said:

For the Freelancers wondering why aren't they getting Call to Arms, do you have checked the "Call To Arms Notifications" in Settings -> Notification Settings?

V this guy answered your question

The Nerf Bat, on 13 October 2017 - 07:03 PM, said:

An urgent call to arm's only happens when a team has been waiting for 5 minutes for an opponent. During events this hardly ever happens except during during off-peak hours. Thanks to population imbalance, you'll pretty much never see a clan call to arm's for freelancers.

I thought it was only the last 2 minutes of 10 minute countdown waiting for an opponent that freelancers got call to arms to fill out a game? But yeah, basically queue's fill too fast during an event for you to get a "fill out a game" call to arms popup as a freelancer, you need to join a side.

as others have said, gotta wait till end of event to find out if your get victorious or defeat reward based on how whole faction did.

Well, I have just finished my 12 150 match score games.

Still, I think PGI should start to get their act together. You have been in the industry for some time now and you should not keep repeating what I deem "beginners' mistakes"

1. Think through event requirements beforehand (Incursion, FP mode challenge, WC free stuff)
2. Communicate ASAP through website, forums and ingame text messages. Do not rely on anyone's Twitter account that has to be relayed by some player.
3. Have someone monitor events that are advertised ingame and on the website.

1 and 2 should be quite easy to do and I think can be expected of a professional gaming company.
3 requires a warm body to do and apparently you did this even on a Saturday. Still, you have to remember that while you are based in Canada (or American timezones in general), a not insignificant part of your playerbase (i.e. your customers) is not.

Personally, I do not like to repeat mistakes. My personal and professional pride are damages by mistakes. BUT, at least learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them (teacher speaking here ).

[Ranger Dave]

Can we get some kind of official clarification on match results during the bugged time?
Rather not have done the 2am for start of event for nothing.

Also note for scheduling future events, another 12 hours earlier start time and you pick up oceanic Friday night prime time.
