The best part about all of this is not running into a pre-made of 4 splatwackers 20 times a day

Sorry for my english, but i have question.
I have 3 more days of desertion from clan Nova Cat. Сan I take during this time all nova cat's prizes, and than join clan wolf and take all prizes from wolf's prizes? Does this event prize system give me option to take all faction prizes from 2 factions during this event? Оr prizes will be awarded for the faction for which I played more matches? Are the matches played for the faction in the state of desertion counted?

So if I own both these mechs I guess I just get another one? Can we please have a third option. Please thank you Bruno.

Your third option is sell the mech; keep the money and mech bay.

Your welcome.

What I love is how all these fights are based on some lore ********.

But buck up kids I guess and take your bi-monthly dose of lore.

Buck up kids and learn to read.

I’m totally aiming for the HBK-4P - it was hat means I’m going to actually come up with a drop deck.... does 4 Urbanmechs count or can I bring 5?

It counts., but only if you personally pilot all 4 or 5 at the same time and fill the rest of the drop deck with 1 or 2 Orca mechs.

What if I'm Liao and my friend is Marik and I invite him to CW group? We'll drop together or we won't be able to launch the match?

I asked the same question earlier, and took a look at the in game rewards. I see no reason why you should not be able to drop with your friend based on the event/reward info both in game and out of game. I think it is merely IS vs IS and Clan vs Clan.

Don't quote me on this though, PGI may have actually made it faction specific.

Event looks good. Doing 150 matches in 12 days isn't going to be easy, but the grand prize is totally worth it. And I'm actually very happy that they are giving away special mechs from Steam packs, because there's no way I would ever buy a Steam pack (no, not because I'm an F2P cheapskate... for a different reason ). So it's all good. Well, except that no one is going to play invasion due to time constraints, but that has already been pointed out by other users, so maybe Matt will do something about it

Does this event mean there will be 7 active faction play buckets running all at the same time?

I hope it does.

it could be all together in is vs is clan vs clan "2 buckets" (4 if you count 12 man and scouting seperately)

Clan Wolf better show out...fighting on 2 fronts...PGI obviously believes they have the population to handle that...but I bet many of us have serious doubts, as the massive number of inactives makes loyalist population numbers nearly meaningless.

There will be a lot of people fighting for wolf, including me, who dont care about the negative 40% cbills because they are sitting on a pile of cbills and get double the loot of anyone else. Yes the % numbers in game are meaningless because of inactives and it never being reset by PGI. The bigger problem is the fact that scouting and 12 man have same rewards, 12 man mode will be pretty dead, most people will get it done in scouting.

So do the (S) variants have the same loadouts as the (C) versions? Trying to decide in advance on whether I want a Wubcrow or another Death Star Hunchback if they're the same as the champions

S and C variants have the same hardpoints and quirks (and loadouts, which doesnt matter you can refit.. and the crow is omni..)

Nice one guys! (I just spent my last 10 million to buy a 4P, but there you go... )

Send a message to player support they are pretty helpful ive heard.

One hundred and fifty games!?!??

PGI assuming we all don't have a life yet again. Yeah but 12 days!

That's still at least 30 hours! Seriously PGI if your going to do something like this at least do some basic bloody maths first.

100 minimum match score farmers here we come for nearly the next fortnight. When are you going to learn????

Items = time or money you have to give games support one way or the other if you want stuff if you want a less time req event then expect less rewards also, It needs to be a larger size event to encourage people to come back to fill queues. 30 hours in 12 days is fair, maybe a little on the high side, 2.5 hours a day, imho 2 hours per day is the magic number.
Should have made it at least 150 match score for FP and 200 for QP.

[M E X]

Why are you talking about 12 days when the event countdows only shows 11 days ?

[Pelmeshek]

Can clans use crows for scouting on this event or its still locked because OP?

I need loot a lot of loot, i'm broke after buying another Marauder IIC and a wolfhound. Wolfhound is a beast ! But now, i need c-bills !!!!!

Gimme good loot !

[Holy Jackson]

oh cool, a stormcrow was on my "to buy" list.

[Holy Jackson]

Suggestion: Please monitor ghost drops. If there are many, can you please consider opening up 2 attack lanes per faction (like the wolves have currently)? This way we can use inter-faction chat to pick which lane is getting drops if ghost drops start cropping up.

Also please make the III logo for this event a decal.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Seems very generous rewards, cbill Stormcrow in particular.

I look forward to playing FP againts same mechs. I think long time ago it was possible, but I wasn't playing FP at the time.

However, the faction play component seems a little iffy. Is PGI is creating 7 separate buckets for faction play? Or is it two separate buckets, which is just IS vs IS and Clan vs Clan?

For instance, I am Jade Falcon Loyalist. Does that mean I can only play in the same group as other Jade Falcons, and only against other Ghostbears? Or is it any clan player can play with any clan player against other clan players, and the contributions count towards their faction?
...
Clarification would be helpful.

^this a thousand times !!!
Without current merc contract, I absolutely NEED to know whether I only can group up with members of the same faction for the whole week or with everyone from the same side (clan/IS)[ as usual].

[Rhialto]

Dang it is just now I realize the change on the Grand Prize.

Why not random as usual?
