So much fail here....

i have no reason for nice words.
I would have fired the guy suggesting to divide low saturated FP buckets per forcing Contracts before even the initial design document would have even been considered to be made.

[Cpt Ralphy]

Instead of making loyalty and merc contracts less ridged, you could give more notice ahead of events so that we have time for our merc contracts to expire and we can decide where to go for the next event. You have already given us the Future Events Tab, which is quite nice, just use it for events a week or more in the future.

Can we a bit more civil in this manner?

This screw up is... not a big deal. It is not like PGI has taken back your cbills and reputation scores. There are far worse **** ups than this trivial issue.

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

I was looking forward to this event, and then I saw the details... Play 150 matches to get a few things I actually want (warhorn, MC), while getting countless rewards I don't give an F about and wish I could sell. (GXP, Cbills, MC consumables, and all cockpit items except warhorms. I would rather sell them all for MC to get other things.)

How about we do a challenge where we play 150 matches and you actually produce a new map?

I can confirm. Here is my proof. The only thing i could do was giver the worker a broken link to the event in the MWO website. So far I have not received a reply from PGI yet. Maybe they need some time to look into this matter since everything is so confusing.

Hey guys sorry about that rather than contacting customer support I will get an auto injection set up to take care of the rewards for people who played in the original mode of the event.
The injection will happen Monday. You won’t need screens. I will take care of it.

Please accept my apology for this event. I hope you can enjoy the loot bag portion of the event.

/hands Matt a beer, a shot, a double shot.. fifth!!

[Yuri Kovalesky]

The reason for that emergency changes are pretty obvious.

The only people who dares play CW most of the time is the famous premades ( 228, KCOM, MS, EMP, MJ12, 420, DW and etc )

Except for the part they NEVER (Thats right! NEVER ) play in opposite factions, makes the rest dead.

Now we have one faction ( IS or CLANS ) full of premades while the rest is just a few bunch of people. Rarelly a full unit drop.

PGI needs to change everything to mix full side premades against full mixed of PUGS.

Why play fair and competitive when you can stomp PUGS?!

Ask for the premades who plays this game all time.

Thank you very much Matt. You have been very helpful. Is there any way I can let PGI know you are an important asset to the company because of your amazing customer service?

You saved me hours of research. I have been googling how to look up past webpages stored in my hard drive just so I can get a screenshot of the event, but with no luck. Either way, I learned something from this event.

that so called solution is so stupid, its breathtaking.

you really think it helps to reduce the timeframe for the hard to achieve special FP event goals from 11 to 2 random chosen days? WRONG!
-

Regular faction play counts for the 50 bags (got 1/50 for losing ISvClan scouting with >100 score). So there's no need to wait for the window for that.

Problem I have with it is that the sheer number of games required encourages doing nothing but that. 50 Faction Warfare games in a little over a week is a ton; even splitting that 50/50 would be 25 invasions minimum and so more games than required for Tukayyid's epic tier while you're also trying to get 100 games in QP mode. At least in QP you can bail on a destroyed 'Mech and load something else.

[Dungeon 206]

hey PGI / Matt,
despite what the haters on the forums say, i feel very appreciative for all the work you are doing to make this event better.

i think that a number of us were looking forward to earning the Wolf vs Viper rewards... i definitely was, and i had started to working towards it already...
but since the Wolf vs Viper event has been removed that opportunity is gone and so were my efforts.

no need to bring the event back if its not feasible, but please could we have another way to earn those rewards?

cheers

When you scroll down that page, you'll find a redeem button for each loot bag you earned so far. OK, it doesn't say redeem, but "reach into the loot bag".

Thank you!

Wanna improve FW... add some more maps to scouting mode... repeatedly seeing crimson, river, forest, frozen, polar, grim and terra OVER AND OVER AND OVER again gets boring fast.

Alpine is big enough as is tournaline. Canyons, mining and HPG would be pleasant changes also.

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

Amazing change Matt! Thank you!

VERY VERY BAD UPDATE!!! THIS IS DISCRIMINATION OF SMOKE JAGUARS!!!

BEFORE this update ALL factions can get minimum of 2 sets of different faction rewards. Wolwes can get 3 sets, and who was at desertion last day - can get 4 sets.

But NOW ALL factions excluding Smoke Jaguars can get minimum of 2 sets, now deserted can get 3 sets, BUT WHO NOW IN SMOKE JAGUARS CAN GET ONLY 1 SET!!! BECAUSE YOU MOVED JAGUARS TO END OF EVENT.

In previous version all players was need to play during all event time.
In current version Smoke Jaguars do not need to play 11 days ang get less reward than others.

[Manei Domini Krigg]

Maybe better just 2 conflicts for event: IS vs IS (random fractions) and Clans vs Clans (random fractions)?

Its like a QP but in FP mode.

[Melcaleb]

Just give me a Clan Wolf item/decal and we'll call it even.

PGI, not everyone is a hater. I am enjoying the events. The problems are annoying but thanks for the fixes.
I only got to play some Scouting matches but I think the IS vs IS scouting matches were great fun and I look forward to trying a few Invasion matches when my turn comes around in 2 days.

Sorry the event didn't work out as planned PGI. Better Luck next time.

More about IS vs IS matches. I saw some pretty weird stuff in Scouting. I expected wall to wall bushwackers with SRMs. Got 1 match where the enemy team was 4 locust and they played the objective. Only 1 of 8 got the 100 match score, soooo.....how about better rewards for completing objectives. I mean when 3 out of 4 people on the winning team dont even get 100 match score......thats wrong.

Another team was employing long range tactics to negate the IS brawl Meta. Cicadas with Large lasers and all attacking from different directions forcing my team to split forces. Was the most varied and most balanced play I have seen in a while.

Even when we played the Clans it seems they only brought SRM Huntsmans and MG novas. Seems the clan Easy mode means they didnt have to actually try to out tactic us in the past. Now that the field is level the gameplay is way more interesting.

I would like to break loyalty and try the clan side but the penalty is too much. It would be nice to allow loyalty brakes with no penalty for events but thats a minor issue.

[Trennbull]

I know this isn't really helpful, but this is a extremely confusing event! Please keep your rewards PGI, I will skip this mess altogether and play other games during the duration of this event. Sorry
