This event should be re-named the assassin 21 scounting event, what a joke

I also wonder if that might not be the genesis of the seemingly vast Mauler vs Mist Lynx(C) disparity: encouraging the higher end mercs to jump on the IS bandwagon for a bit.

Yes, I believe they were trying to encourage more of the "hardcore" to play IS

Fear not for Scouting. It doesn't count for the planet. I'm having fun!

I dunno, when I was dropping as Clan about 10 hrs ago, most of the Clanners were pugs, while the IS were largely premades. In fact the 7-8 invasion drops the Clan team lost 5, 2 were steamrolls (Clan Siege Attack on Boreal Vault and Grim Plexus)

Only joke players take assassins over bushwackers.

How is that magically going to cause IS endo to take 7 slots instead of 14? Would that make light ferro as effective and light as clan ferro? Would that make LFE's as light as clan XL's? Would that make IS DHS only 2 slots instead of 3? Would that make IS weapons have longer range, greater damage, fewer slots and/or lighter weight as is the case for almost all clan weapons?

The answer is 'NO' to all of these. The reason top units are clans is because the tech is still significantly better. Winning is better than losing, and dropping with the better tech makes for better chances of winning.

Want to prove me wrong? Don't write anything, just take your superior skills into a set of IS mechs and conquer the clans. All of this preening and onanistic ego-stroking about 'skill' is, frankly, disgusting.

FML, did 10/12 FP as Clan, then my unit changes contract to IS, and now I have to do another 12 under IS for the Conflict rewards...

Question is, do we get rewards for both factions once the event is finished? Our unit has to choose a new contract today and while we would normally change allegiance every week, I don't think everyone is willing to farm scouting the whole day tomorrow.
Would be nice to have a definitive answer to this.

I think you can only get the Conflict Reward of the faction u're aligned with by the end of the event then the event item gets locked in under Past Events. That's what I think anyway not a definitive answer from PGI.

Having 2 Conflict Events appear in the Past Events tab at the end of the Event, now that would be interesting, assuming you managed to post 12/12 FP matches on both sides.

Of course not.

So if we switch sides today and NOT qualify for the Clan Rewards, we will get neither? Well, another week IS then it is. It would be extremely nice if technicalities like this would be clearly stated, as these things have bugged a lot of people in the past where it's just not clear what is meant.

If you managed to time a contract switch in the middle of the event period, you could get the rewards for both sides, being the losing side and the winning side, plus double all the personal objectives which are faction side specific goals. However PGI deliberately timed this event so as to prevent that, other than amongst players who already were several days into an existing 7 day contract. Once you've met the goal requirements.. the end of your contract while the event is still running doesn't nullify your having meant the requirements.

What happens if i switch my merc contract from Clan to IS, do get the Clan or IS result for the 12-faction games 150 matchscore play count.



PS: for the matchscore i would make it wins on scouting next time (had some ego single players there), keep in mind the Event madness that people get into with these events. And team play/pre made's should be the core for FP (events)

I think what Dee is trying to say is ...

For the Everyone eligible part, you can only do it once, not once for each side
For the Smoke jag and kurita parts, you can only do them as loyalist to those factions, So if you went from Kurita to Smoke jag during event you could do both, but you only get win/loss reward for whichever faction your with when event ends i expect.

[Nightbird]

My contract ends before the event does, can I still claim my event rewards as a freelancer? What if I joined IS as was planned? Or do I need to take another clan contract?

[BlackDeathLegion]

well I completed the 12 matches through SCOUTING. Now its up to the rest of the players that enjoy playing CW to WIN and gimmie the FREE MECH!

[Magik Jack]

Any clue as to who is winning? I didn't see any tug-of-war bar this time. Ah well, whatevs~

I was short of 2 games on the clan side (10/12) when my unit switched to IS. And my unit's IS contract expires after the event ends, so I have no way to switch back to get those 2 games. But I've locked in 12/12 for IS so I'm guaranteed 10m cbills, 100mc and a mechbay so I'm happy.

The website shows both IS and Clan conflict rewards and their statuses. Which leads me to suspect that it's possible to earn both side's Conflict Rewards. Your unit would have to be sided with either IS or Clan for a few days, in which time you complete the 12 FP matches, then the Unit switches and you do the same again 12 times.

When the Event ends, you claim one side's rewards. Then wait for the Unit to switch contracts over to the other side hopefully within 2 weeks. Who knows, maybe now the other side's Conflict Rewards show up allowing you to claim again?

It'd be terribly sucky if you managed to complete one side's Conflict Rewards, then the unit switches contract to the other side, then you fail to complete the new side's Conflict Rewards and get robbed of the earlier side's Conflict Rewards. It's possible the Conflict Reward won't show up under Past Events until the unit switches back to the previous side.
