I wish. This was just too easy an event. I also pugged this haha
I just wish PGI would make events harder, and not spoon feed.

It's looking like an IS victory though.
It would be a nice change. I sort of hope they win.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Yeah streaks and scouting is probably the easiest to get those 250 match score games. Not good for winning and againts better enemies but daam they are good at farming casual players with various poor loadouts.

I was able to reach my high damage numbers because I switch from my laser vomit Nova to my new medium Hero (i just bought on sale 50% MC off) Huntsman Paket with 6x SRM6s + Artimis. If you can't afford to spend any MC try getting the other Huntsman P or C variant for C-bills that has 4 missile hard points or the Hunchback IIC-B variant with 4 missile hard points also. I would avoid the shadowcat since it is only 45 tons with less armor to survive a brawl. I hope my advice helps everyone else. Stay persistent and good luck!

All Huntsman can have 6 missile hardpoints, by swapping pods. The hero pods allow 8 missile weapons.

Got plenty of RL.

Too much sometimes... had to make headway before Thanksgiving. On this account, all but 2 250 match score were done in invasion (shout out to all the guys I dropped with). On my first alt, yeah, it was all scouting b/c i just don't have the same # of euro-time clan contact to drop with...

So tnx PGI and happy tnxgivening mechwarriors!

[Guile Votoms]

2 hours and 95% done.
I wouldn't mind some harder challenges.

How about stuff like "Get one airborne headshot".

[Arkhangel]

Airborne headshots are luck (or aimbots), not challenges. that said "get X number of headshots" would be a good one.

You've never gotten an airborne headshot before..?
What are you casual?

I think he meant airborne headshot where neither you nor the target are on the ground...

Once, only once.. then I died before hitting the ground with loss of both legs...

Why why why why why why why why why why is this event only going on through Thanksgiving weekend?

Don't you think some of us have other things planned with our lives this holiday week? Friends, family, travel? Any of those things sound familiar? I know in Canada, that it may be just another week for you, but this is something of a big deal for us Americans.

The bottom line is, I have no time to play this event at all because of the holiday and my previous commitments to it. Are you seriously trying to break up people's relationships? I know that single men make up most of your player base, but shoving this down our throats is just ridiculous.

Thanks for being so inconsiderate, and have a great weekend.

[MovinTarget]

Again, why should a non-US company cater to only one single country's holiday schedule?

This is not a hard challenge if you are willing to do the work.

Besides this is just a drop in the bucket event... There will be other free mechs.

Never see a US company adjusting for the rest of the world for patching/updates or events do you? Suck it and feel the pain the rest of us do

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).

However they said a tie is unlikely so the victory conditions will be near middle i reckon. In any event Tharkad is only worth 4 million c bills which is generally less than you earn winning 4 siege matches anyway. The map is sort of irrelevant since technically they would have starved Tharkad out ages ago if not already smashed it. And who cares the capital becomes a nuclear wasteland in a decade doesn't it.

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

PGI please raise the difficulty.

They did, you're just that damn good.

and that took you maybe 5-11 hours of work

Movin, you're expecting an average American to remember that other countries exist other than them.

I don't expect much period, its how I stay sane... ...most of the time...

[Ibrandul Mike]

1. I basically like the event.
2. Please next time check the texts and don't set false expectations. With the rewards announced that late it is kinda bad to have Steel Viper included in the announcement but not in the rewards

[Arkhangel]

Ib,they are actually, as if i recall, SV counts as being JF just for the purposes of invasion window.

if i remember right the NC count as Smokes and Sharks as Wolves.

[James Argent]

Nope, none of my matches that score for the general event are counting toward the loyalty event.

They made some slight changes compared to the Battle for Luthien event.

1. Ends during USA prime time when the population is at its highest for those "American" merc units/loyalists who are Clanners.

2. Kept the normal FP win/loss percentage to 3.3% instead of the 1.0 % that it was at for the Battle of Luthien.

3. Removed the separate normal Fight Now button all together, leaving only the current event Fight Now button (previously there were two buttons), grouping all drops for the Battle of Tharkard.

[Arkhangel]

hrm. well, always next time. it's not like Mercs get anything period regardless, and everyone else apart from those two factions for loyalists either.

[Steel Raven]

Cant get one conflict reward to unlock, anyone else getting that glitch?
