Well that's simply not true for MJ12.

We oscillate between Clan and IS on roughly 2-week rotations. We might extend a third week in the same faction if some kind of event requires it (eg. the last FP event required the achievement of a target number of wins in the same faction, so we stayed an extra week to give our members enough time to meet the target) or (very rarely) if a critical mass of us are leveling some newly-released Mech.

But we never talk to (in fact, we barely even notice) which faction other units are with until we bump into them in matches... which we quite frequently do, and enjoy doing.

Unfortunately as the factions events show, FW is basically Mercs vs Mercs with a handful of loyalists on each side. One side wins while all the Mercs are collecting the rewards for that faction and the other side wins when the Mercs are collecting rewards for the other faction. Loyalists earn only half the rewards (although they would not want cockpit items from another faction).

So the mariks and liao can still drop on the IS vs CLAN.

AND WE ONLY GET GHOST DROPS.
Usefull solutions needed.

PS: I don't care about prices, just want a nice IS vs IS battle.

Despite the flaws with finding matches I'am really liking this event.
The only problem is... what am I ever going to do with so.many.pumpkins?!
I wish we could sell some of the cockpit items for cbills.. please consider it. (wont even repeat my idea about the steam market) (but please add cards, I want a MWO background on steam)

[Timslim]

ok I'm confused if I accept a contract it seems to be for seven days so how the hell can you take part in more than one event? am I missing something.....confused.com

[SVTmk]

PGI PLEASE change reward GRF-2N to GRF-2N [S]
Even by cost of removing HBK-4P [S] or changing it to non-S 4P.

Nice Haul! Which Mech did you choose?

Matt, can PGI upgrade prize GRF-2N to GRF-2N [S] in the redeem table? Maybe instead of HBK-4P [S]?
Because of SCR-Prime [S] is much better than HBK-4P [S], but GRF-2N is more equal to SCR and it is better for [S] variant.

Matt, can you up QP from 100 to 150? We have extra time now... and this will let QP players only the chance to get the GP.

[tee5]

@ Matt Newman:
I just had an account injection I got 2 items but not the warhorn for the steel vipers, for which I took part.

I had 17-20 scouting matches. You/PGI could be generous and give me the warhorn too. Because 20 scouting matches is way more than you need after the new criterias which are 6 scouting matches.

Come on Matt Newman, I gave you thumps up, for how you handled everything. Don't let me down.

Hey sorry about that as this has now been updated. Thanks for pointing this out

Hey, thanks to both you and Matt (at least, I think it was both of you) for fixing that. We (the MWO Community) do appreciate 'Clock Consistency'!

Dude... is there even such a thing as a GRF-2N(S)??? I don't think so!

Also, they tend to reward Mech Models that go underused, which I actually appreciate. I already know what I'm looking forward to, if I can just finish the Event Challenges!

What? Is part of the MWO Community totally incapable of getting themselves to make a one-man Unit and picking a Mercenary Contract temporarily? They can always disband their mini-Unit afterward, and Faction Warfare isn't that impossible, albeit that it can be tough sometimes! Just get your rear into FW, and stop trying to ask for "Easy Mode", because you'll find being an Inner Sphere Freebirth to be that "Easy Mode" you wanted right now. (I'm not joking, what with their side having 55-Ton 6x SRM Mechs, while the Clans are Underpowered with 50-Ton Underarmored Mechs! We Clanners need our 55-Ton Mechs back, yesterday!) It's no wonder that there's a lack of people other than Loyalists and oversize Merc Units, if people are shying away too easily!

Now, everyone, excuse me... I've a battlefield to get back to after being sabotaged by Real Life. Just lost about 5 to 6 hours today unexpectedly, and including unwanted pain to my body.

You have to get the timing down right to do two or three conflicts for extra cockpit items. On my alt I'll be able to do the steiner/davior and the jaguar/ghost bear ones while on this one I'll get the viper/wolf conflict also before the event ends.

Also not true for KCOM.

We end up fighting units, premades, and pugs all the same.

[Arkhangel]

yeah, prob is it's guys like MercStar, Emp, and so on who don't change. and pretty much invariably go clan for events (if they ever even swap out), which is why up until Luthien Clans always won because of event ends being in US primetime (where most Clan loyalist and merc units are from).

prob with MS is they're basically five units' worth of pilots in one group. Emp just utterly stomp people and then bash them in chat, which kills people wanting to play (note the lack of cheering when they showed up at the World's last year, it's due to that) and so on.

I respect units like Kcom. They'll still kick my ***, but they'll at least remember that the enemy team actually wanted somewhat of a decent fight,and give you a drop or two to tangle with to make some C-bills and event points,not be douchebag tryhards who feel they have to rub how good they are in your face after utterly slaughtering you or bumrushing the objective. all that does is costs the community players.

Whoops you're correct about that. You'll find that information below and I'll update the original post with that as well.

Thanks for the heads up!

Clan Diamond Shark:
Loyalist/Mercenary
1 to 10 matches = Cockpit Hanging Item – Diamond Shark Medallion
10 to 20 matches = Cockpit Standing Item – Diamond Shark Banner
20 + matches = Cockpit Mounted Item - Diamond Shark Warhorn

[tee5]

@ Matt Newman: So I really need to do 17+ 6 = 23 scouting matches to get the same rewards, as some person who plays just 6 scouting matches?
