Well I think some people have a point, the population in FW is very bad.

Make it to hard, and people won't bother with FW when it does need to attract fresh blood.

Now I don't care about the free mech, so I doubt I'll bother with FW as I'm far to meh about the game right now, though i'll do a few stocking stuffer Q.P games, i'm in no way going to try to max out.

This event should be balanced to get people into FW and it be a reasonable experience, so they stay playing. Set the bar to high, and it will be a negitive experience, not a fun one

I've got it via e-mail from Piranha Games. Also I've seen this picture in Russ' twitter.
Checking social media for promo events during holidays might be benefiting.

Yeah, after the four absolute crap games I had to get 10 components destroyed, I'll be skipping the Grab Bags. Not worth the pain to get low amounts of CBills, consumables, premium time that will burn away, and duplicate cockpit items on the slim chance of getting MC.

So many player on my team getting sub 150 match. Means going to be a lot of people complaining that they ran hundreds of games and still could not get all the bag pulls. Not going to be my problem to carry them.

Anyone besides me have their bonus loot bags from Sun Spider not appear?

Your 'Match Score' is NOT entirely based upon Damage. How much of the other 'Score-earning Actions' did you achieve in each of those two different Matches? Also, how much 'Score-draining Team Damage' did you do? Those other factors can easily determine why a certain 'Match Score' was given to a certain Match.

Most likely your 506 damage game had friendly fire, so you lost points.

Not enough damage. Even with the 3 kills and 1 win, you're 11 pts shy, not counting friendly fire which eats into your score, each point of friendly fire is 1 MS, from what I can tell.

Hate to break it to you, PGI, but your 'Holiday Mistletoe' item is actually Holly.

The stockings give away the Christmas Bell warhorn, but it's not listed as a prize.

250 for faction play, using all 4 mechs thats a difficult task for a 30 minute investment, so my suggestion is play for fun instead.

FP is actually a good system, 4 mechs and better coordination requirements make it superior in some ways to quick play. Solo quick play where we will earn most of the prizes is a massive cluster truck where we barely scrape the true essence of what mechwarrior online should be.

Some peeps are saying faction is dead, its not dead its "slow", but most weekends you can drop pretty much non stop if you are in a unit, most of the problem i think is there is a deficiency in the single player queuing system for solo players so you click on the red thingy but miss out because there might be one slot or a big group might drop on it leaving no room for solos.

As for the prizes, really who gives a rats, its F2P, if you don't get something in the game cause its a bit hard, then tough luck, you didn't exactly "pay" for it anyway.

maybe if you get a score that is just below the threshold you should earn a lump of coal for being on Santa's naughty list.

If you're trying to score the FP bags in scouting, you're doing it wrong. I mean it is doable, just supposed to be really hard to achieve. If you are trying to do it in a light, you are doing it wrong on a completely different level.

If you are dropping in Invasion, better group up - the gamemode was not designed for solo pugs anyway. There are multiple TeamSpeak hubs where people can group up and organize. There is LFG. If you are not willing to work with others towards a common goal in a team based game, then you should not be expecting to receive rewards.

And yes, you may not always earn bags, even if you do OK. On the other hand, you have 2 weeks to complete the event with plenty of free days in the meantime. And if you don't feel like investing the time to get all the bags you are missing out on a minor reward, I'm entirely not sure what the fuss is about.

I most probably will not have the time to burn to get all the bags and rewards. And I don't care - I will have fun as always, just get extra goodies. Be thankful for that at least.
