How did Luthien end in a tie? So we all get screwed on the event prizes?

[The Zohan]

Yes.

Everybody wins in the brave new world!

Because the end of the event was at a time when IS had organized groups on that pushed the bar just barely past the clan win point in the last couple hours.

In other words, typical PGI lack of planning. Instead of the event being decided over the course of the event, it was decided by just a handful of units in a couple hours.

Wait... is it a tie because no worlds changed sides during the entire event?

Could that be because there were only three Inner Sphere controlled planets during the entire event. One of which was Luthien, which I'm not even sure if its contestable?

And did no one get the lose reward? I have to assume that will be fixed soon.

Ah, was it the bar? I actually can't find the Win Condition anywhere on the event page...

first of - this is an is-loyalist account.

looking at the map, luthien is surrounded by clan-territory. literally the needle in a haystack.
so I'm quite puzzled how this can be a tie in any way.

oh.. cause pgi says so. there we have it...

this is just too silly - monty python would abort this sketch.

[Asym]

Holy crap? Where can we see the statistics? I'd like to see the numbers just so I understand what is happening.....

Anyone know where?

It was like that since before the event. It was a tie because the map (Or the conflict bar) didn't move during the event period.

Why would they do this when Tukayyid works just fine and doesn't allow for such cheesing/griefing?

[HammerMaster]

Question? Did anyone even play the "other" mode in FW? I'll tell you I only played scout as its actually the best/most fun part of MWO. The "other" FW mode is trash and a big downer for most players.

Oh pgi cheesed a tie due to the event timer. Lol. So the hole dominance of clan over the entire event does not count. Just lol.

Most fun?....
Scouting is nothing but vomiting things on legs with a few selected mechs.
It's fast, that's all.

I bet they think "Clan/IS ended in a tie, so balance is good."

About event rewards.

[Athom83]

Because Luthien remained in IS hands, technically didn't IS win the event?

[HammerMaster]

It's fast in and out. It's 4v4.
you can bring different builds.
That it has degraded to leg vomiting. Yes. All modes suffer that. But among them it's best/ most fun for me. When 8v8 comes back THAT will be the thing.

I.dont.understand.

at least i got a mechbay and a few millions (which is nice). So, all i have to do now is waiting for the next herosale to fill up the bay

I'm pretty sure you don't get the mechbay.
