I believe it has already been noted but PGI has learned, as they did updated the event and now have only one Fight Now Button instead of the previous the two Fight Now buttons, which likely had been confusing for many with all the recent events. And changed how to earn the mech from actually winning to how one scores.

An American is a someone who lives in the united states. The largest unified nation in the new world. Everyone else in the new world is referred to as Canadian or Mexican or what have you. Not saying its right. Just saying thats just the way the world is. And I will say that as much as 70% of the games population is american so you can expect 1 of our few major holidays to seriously impact wait times.

Archangel there are seven major continents in the world. Are you mayhaps referring to the same two as I am in the following discussion?

<Serious Discussion: Warning: Reading the following could be hazardous to your frame of mind.>

Johnathan Tanner the western hemisphere consists of primarily two major landmasses referred to as North America and South America or collectively as "America". I am a citizen of the U.S.A. but I find the idea that you must live in the United States of America to be "American" typically narrow in viewpoint even though that is a "popular by usage" mode of referral. If you live on either of those continents you are technically "American" although you could say "North American" or "South American". The referral to people as Canadian or Mexican or whatever is driven by the country in which they live not by which continent they happen to live on. Yes people who live in the United States are referred to as "American" probably because most any other label would be way too contrived. (Although I suspect that some are also referred to by much less respectful labels.) But isn't it a little self serving to ignore the fact that we live in an "American" continent full of a lot more people than just us? In my opinion I think we would all be better off in this context if we tried to have a wider, more appreciative and respectful frame of mind. A little intercultural education and understanding could go a long way to making this world a better place, don't you think?

Note: all of the other people in the hemisphere, nay, the world, are just as important. I do not want it to be taken that I think any less of them because of the way I have been more selective in my prior discussion.

Ahh, I see one thing they did not change, each win/loss is 3.3% instead of the 1% like it was with Battle of Luthien.

Congratulations! You actually fixed the event after the Luthien fiasco! The rewards are nice, everyone gets a piece of the pie and loyalist get a lil' extra sumt'n sumt'n on the side - everyone should be happy regardless of the outcome. Bravo!

Decided to give the game a shot again. Just got out of an FP match (actually, was disconnected and couldn't get back in to finish the match because your servers are dogshit) in which one of the players was threatening to shoot anyone that fired on Omega. Because of your ****** little event.
It's been fun, but at this point I can't pick this back up if this is how it's going to continue to be. I'm just sorry I dumped as much money in when I did. Oh well. Caveat emptor.

[Jonathan8883]

I just tried Invasion due to a pop-up.
Siege. Bad.
Boreal Vault. Worse.

None of our team made it more than 50m past Beta gate, pug vs pug.

I will not be playing "Invasion" again until the Siege mode is removed or substantially reworked. It's more fun than plumbing but less fun than diagnosing electrical problems.

Go ahead and shoot omega, if he TKs you his score will nosedive lol. However, I feel his pain, efficiency means you can't get the score. I've solo killed 2 guys in a scout match and won and only got 2 something less than 50 points cause I drilled through the ct of both, whereas if I had spammed streaks for 500 damage I stand a better chance of earning the atlas, I'm not a great player so I need every good game to count, and I would consider 2 solos and a win in 4 v 4 a good game.

Despite that I like the harder challenge cause 150 points isn't too hard, and if I fail, its only an atlas, that I can buy for c-bills.

I really enjoy siege, just not attacking boreal vault. However if attacking bring a poptart grasshopper to open the gate on the left, go left and engage in the trench, it gives you a shot against the defence which will eviscerate anyone shooting from the hill at the gate gen

[Tarl Cabot]

Boreal Vault can be terrible for the attackers when said attackers do not all hit the gen, instead most sitting in the valley while only a few try to take out the gens while the opponents are setup on the hills inside. Even when the pugs were told what needed to be done they did nothing, and 6 of them were from a IS merc unit. Earlier in the day it was the Clan pugs who were primarily skittish and not very aggressive whereas now it would appear the tables have been turned and tis the IS pugs not being very aggressive, even more so those dropping as partial units.

BV was the first original Siege map. Either the gen and/or raised areas outside the gate should be reevaluated to be more in line with the other Siege maps. Seriously though, the gates should be allowed to be opened/closed by the defenders and each segment should be allowed to be destroyed.

[LordFatman]

the game should be fun for both sides not one sided that is why the player count for this game keeps falling

[GamerPro4000]

I finally got my 15 250 score games today. It took me 27 attempts in scouting and boy was it hard!

[mouser42]

Loyalists of house Steiner should only be able to use the Atlas for scouting for this event.

Just finished second account... start the third tonight... if I feel like it lol

[John Stryker]

I keep getting just shy of 250 points. Even 400 damage 1 kill doesnt seem to cut it for me. 370 damage 2 kills wasnt enough either. Even had a match where we won and nobody cracked 250. 12 scouts into it, i have 12 150 pointers but only. 2 250.

Can someone direct me to the scoring system?

Just to bring this up again.

Did PGI forget to change the battle percentage from 3.3% (general FP-other faction events) to 1% (used during the Battle for Luthien), or is this their attempt trying to ensure it is not a tie while ending the event during population prime time? Or make it easier for it to end with a tie since it would take fewer battles?

Baseline 500dmg should do it, win or lose. Huntsman with 6 streak4/6s tag and cap does the dmg

Haven't played the event yet...due to thanksgiving with family....however, if it is at 3.3% that would make massively easier for a losing side to force a tie at the end, by just winning a few more battles than the "winning team" in the final hour or so. If this is true, they pretty much made the problem that happened with Luthien worse (not better).

And I finished the 250 match score challenge. Only took 21 Invasion matches.

PGI please raise the difficulty.
