Don't get me wrong, i am grateful for this generous event.
But i doubt it would happen without a wish to count how many active players is still here...I just hope the answer is "a lot", and MWO is still kicking.

Sorry if its already been asked but is there a minimum match score requirement etc?

Only ask because on that day i'll only likely have access to potato internet and computer for about ten to fifteen minutes. I don't want to have to be that guy who just about drops into a match tickle someone with a laser and that's it.

The upcoming Holiday Stocking Stuffer will begin on 2017-12-20 @ Start Of Day UTC Time Zone... The available Bonus will show up just a little over halfway through during that period. :)

Well, everyone, I just caught up with this thread. Either someone read my suggestion (@ https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/260150-holiday-bonus-loadout-info/page__view__findpost__p__5971045) and decided to use it, or I managed to predict PGI's choice of 36-Hour Window. How often does that happen? :blink:

Well, I gotta give them a +5.0 for making it 36 Hours, instead of just 24, so that's now an Event Review Rating of...

25.0/10

...and a positive note to my mental 'book' for the future. B)

(p.s.: I could only hint and tease that adding 12 more hours might be more awesome.)

Just for clarification, the event is: complete a match, with a minimum score of 50, anytime within a 36-hour period from Dec 26th (4 p.m.) to Dec 28th (4 a.m.) to be eligable for 25 loot bags, 3 days of premium time, 3 million c-bills, 1,250 MC and 2 hero mechs.

Correct?

50 Match Score minimum is pretty standard. I think it's more or less understood (for example, they never explicitly said you had to do it for each account that you wanted the award for, but that's also implied).

Everyone, I think the "50 Match Score" is there for two reasons...
  • Very likely, there is a Technical Limitation in the current New Events System. Someone probably didn't set up a metric for "Just Play ### Matches" as an option in the system. So, they had to use the "Get ### Match Score in ### Matches" metric instead, as that's likely a quote-unquote 'Lowest Common Denominator' option at this time.
  • Also of note, if you really are trying to play the match, then 50 Match Score should just happen on its' own. Heck, you should come out of a match with a lot more in most cases. So this additional hidden requirement of 50 Match Score that some are worried about is simply to prevent AFK'ers from trying to quick-farm the Holiday Bonus, as well as make anybody who's drowsy have to wake up and play or go get some rest! I think we can agree that keeping a small toxic portion of players from using the rest of us as their 'stepping stone' is reasonable?
...but at least we have 36 Hours to try and get it, so the likely chance of someone not getting this (unless Real Life has flatly blocked you) is near zero. Maybe it would help a few Time Zones if they provided at least 12 More Hours to try and do this Holiday Bonus Challenge, but other than that, I think Queue Times will be very short on that day. It should be easy to complete this. B)

Wow! You guys are starting to do things to gather up players. It is about time. Stop the grind and let the player base have fun with all the cool toys. Grow Player Base = Lower DA Grind

Having nothing to work for will make players get bored very quickly. I do think that PGI should make an "Arcade" mode though for all the players who thing x or y is too hard in regular MWO.


The "Arcade" mode should:

- Have two pre-configured "Meta Mechs" available (one IS and one Clan) for each weight class and these Mechs would be fully levelled with the optimal skills for their builds and can be played for free (no Mech Bay or grind required).

- Have aim-assist, cone of fire, 3rd person view, no head hitboxes, 4* armor.....all the crutches.

- Only have randomly selected "cold" maps in the rotation.

- No pre-made teams would be allowed and a strict tier system should be employed that updates you tier after every game.

- Should be monetized by letting players "unlock" other pre-configured Mechs for less than $10 a Mech a well as by selling one-shot (will remain equipped until changed) cosmetics for about $1 or so per item.

- Should have enough categories in the leaderboard so that every player can be at the top of one category and feel special.

- Should have very loud / bright notifications that go off in-game for kills/assists/capping/kill-streaks/missed shots....



And then the rest of us can just play regular MWO without having to hear about how x or y is too difficult, or too expensive and is driving away player or killing the game....
