NOT incorrect. When the event began yesterday, the original match score requirement for the QP side was 150 while for faction it was 100. They've since lowered the bar and begun editing the loot bag event pages. I had just hjit my 25th faction loot bag in the sharks vs wolves bucket without needing PGI's help to mess over the event. Now they've reset the faction vs faction requirements, and I have to only get SIX matches apparently to get the warhorn, when another 25 wasn't presenting itself to be any sort of problem under the original format and seven buckets system.

Yea scouting seems to be going fine for many of the match ups. That's what I've been using for faction play bags.

Because its NOT really about the loot bags for some players... its about the faction specific cockpit rewards. To get all three, you need FIFTY matches of whatever score pgi sets it to, for that faction vs another faction. So Instead of 50 matches over 11 days... now it because 50 over 2 days. What if you cannot play 50 in those two days ? Then you miss out on those prizes.

Requirements have been adjusted to 2, 4 and 6 matches for the Cockpit items.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

You hit the nail on the head here:
"need a way for Faction Play Loyalty Pledges and Merc Contracts to be less rigid, empowering players to participate in Faction Play Events outside of their Loyalty and Contract states"

This is my issue with faction play that was only exasperated with the special events. I cannot choose who I want to side with without giving up opportunities or by being punished.

You get more bees with honey than vinegar as the saying goes, make it more appealing to be part of a house or clan and to stay with them than to punish them by leaving or worse inadvertently punish them by staying.

Get rid of the punishments for leaving a faction especially the time of rejoining a different faction. Then make it to where these events that have multiple sides to them let you choose which one you're going to work on, only able to choose another when you've completed it.
Put a "quick play" system into faction play where you just find the first drop. If your faction you are part of is involved in the drop you get into then your efforts are counted. If your faction is not involved in the conflict you still get loyalty points and rewards but your efforts are not counted towards the capture or defense of the planet.

Quick play is preferred because I don't have to care whom I'm affiliated with, I'm going to make the same money as anyone else, and I'm going to find a match in short order. That should be your design goals with faction play as well.

Keep it simple.

Clarification: Can I spend/open my loot bags, or do I have to save them (unopened) until I get to 150?

Still creating the Conflicts but yes the event will be extended!

You can open them before reaching the 150.

Am I missing something? The "Cockpit Hanging - Clan Wolf DNA" item seems to no longer be available in the event options. It was originally available in Clan Wolf Vs Steel Vipers - Clan Wolf Recruit.

1. for the length of the event: you should allow everyone to switch contracts as they like, with no penalty.

2. PGI should apologize for making such a bad event.

3. PGI should give us NICE freebies for free because we need to endure such a "not well" planned event.

Great! (Where do I find them? They aren't in inventory).

I will be sticking to Scouting for the FP. If FW wasn't 80% Siege it'd and 75% PUG vs Premade, it'd be more fun...but there's too much lost time risk.

What is counting for the 6 and where can I redeem em? Wolf vs Viper is gone.

[suffocater]

I get a 404 error site when I want to open any conflict. (I should be able to redeem my warhorn now.)

[tortcat]

Thanks. I unfortunately work on the weekends so having until the 11th makes this much more obtainable for me.

Thank you Matt, I just emailed support and I hope they will honor your word. I had 49 out of 50 Faction plays complete for Nova Cat.

New events are being added based on the OP posted schedule and the criteria are adjusted.
The event will be extended and if you were just shy on a goal please email support.

Well I was at 26/50 VIPER vs WOLF matches when they shut it down...

I think this means that when the VIPER event comes back online, I will already have 26/6 matches and will be able to claim all prizes for that part of the event right away (with ~2 weeks left to claim it, even if I'm offline during the new VIPER event days).

Maybe they should have just kept the event as it was, and just make each victory count as +10 points instead of +1 points when it's your own faction's special event day, and then nobody would have lost anything (including the Wolf players and their 2 events, and those who won't be able to show up on the right day for their own faction event...), but they didn't do that so this is how it is
