Great event! So much free stuff to grab. And so many clueless event farmers, making the job very easy.

So far I've not seen the Event system do a combo requirement per item, so no I don't think it's possible. It's possible to do multiple per single Challenge, but not per item.

Well crap, just temporarily inflate assist value in match score and then make the requirement reflect more than reasonably expected from just 4 assists in Scouting?

So you *COULD* do it with 4 assists and a crap ton of damage, but realistically, 6-8 assists and reasonable damage will do it. This would also perhaps slow down the objective dunkers for the duration of an event...

ONLY 36 hours window to get 2 hero mechs?
Clould it a little wider?

They probably can't safely implement the MatchMaker on CW/FW/FP right now. The population is too low.

As has been said countless times, a matchmaker is not what CW needs:

[Rotteck Koempel]

0 of 12 getting an Matchscore of even 200!!!! And not once!! Only topped by a waiting time of 30+ Min!!!

Think this CW-Event dies now

Haven't seen a bundle sale in forever.

We need a mech bundle sale.

Okay just got a solo kill that didn't seem to count for the Day 23 challenge... It clearly stated it in the end match results. I was even joking with people in game after I died immedeately after getting it...

Or just don't meddle with any kind of MS based formula, cuz it's not going to work. As I said before, using any kind of MS to entice or deter players isn't going to work.

ok, get stomped again with PUG Team agains MS and Evil in CW. Its useless and a big waste of time. I suggest every single player: dont play CW during the Event. You just fill their bags and dont get anything but frustration. The score of 250 Points is so f....ing ridicolous high that you are unable to reach it in Scouting as well in Faction play. Keep your Time and do Quick play or do something else. @PGI: well done.

[utopian201]

You're right, dropping solo sucks in fw, just go on teamspeak (there's a server list somewhere) and find a group to drop with. All the good groups I've played with accept pugs (as long as they have space) as it means one more person who can hear and carry out the instructions

The in game voice works as well but I just feel if someone is on teamspeak, they will follow the drop caller

In game voice would be fine, but you need
1. A drop caller
2. People willing to listen

Not every game has both.

It really gets easier if you don't drop solo. Dropping solo in FP has always been te worst kind of crap shoot. Veterans have been saying this for years and people seem to resist and come up with reasons to not group, to not organize.

Sis you ever play World of Warcraft? Before it was turned into a game for 7 yr olds, did you ever try to do endgame raids with a bunch of strangers? No! It was too much of a gamble that your main tank would be Leroy Jenkins and your healers all be glue sniffers.

FP is a mode that truly benefits from organization and coordination, more than QP.

Just remember that if FP is too hard, too grindy you should be able to buy any of the 6 mechs easily with cbills from the free 7 days premium time, the stocking stuffers from QP that give cbills *and* MC for a discounted mechbay.

Or just plan on saving that for modding the TWO FREE hero mechs you'll be getting for just showing up for a match.

Look, I love FP and I prolly miss out on the full 100 lootbags (and consequently the mech) due to time commitments, it happens, that's life.

Same, i actually got free time over the christmas days but 50 fp games with 250 score are very far fetched even for me.
The only thing i could do is sandbagging like a ... and keep my first mech alive to get some sort of consistency into the 250 score rule. Something i am not very keen on.
Thanks for the lootbag but the grand prize is out of reach even tho i can hit the score and do have the time.

At least the "grand prize" is not something that is a must-have one-off thing.

Why we get the same Decals (santa girl/elf girl/mistletoe girl) from stocking stuffer as MW Advent event?!

Good Evening,

Best regards

[suffocater]

This matchscoresystem is the most ******** thing I have ever seen.

Carry the team with 3 kills and whatnot....bah...211 matchscore...
Do nothing except for +450dmg....over 300 matchscore...

To whoever had that idea: go take a piss in the wind!

I got a "Cockpit Mounted - Christmas Bell" from the stocking stuffer. Its not listed as an item to be won. Ive beaten the odds!! maybe i should go to the casino, or not: "Sir, you have won a fresh salmon with a funny hat".

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

I get the impression that the parameters for what the stockings give out was tweaked.

For the Halloween one, a large proportion of the grab bags that I opened yielded ********.

This one seems to be yielding a noticeably different haul of prizes. Lots of MC, c-bills and GXP, far fewer consumables and cockpit items. About the same number of warhorns and premium time so far for me.


For me at least, I'm loving the difference.

Dear PGI,
50 games in FP with f... i... who know **** about MWO, so you don´t get 250 matchscore every game. So it´s a minimum of 100FP 30 minutes games.
100 20 minutes QP games, with even dumb... i.... Let´s say 120 games are needed.
That´s 3.000 minutes plus 2.400 minutes equals 5.400 minutes.
60 minutes per hour into 5.400 minutes for the games equals 90 hours to get the mech.
That´s 6.43 hours per day!
My question is, math is not your thing, is it?
