@Matt: You rock man \m/

I was just pondering suggesting making rewards tiered to earn dependant on performance, and there you go and do it.
For future events it would be amazing if a massive match score could give you a bag say for each 100 score, would reduce the grind so much.

Aside, can you guys please look at conquest scoring. Playing the game mode in a light, capturing all the points ensuring victory whilst the main force brawls and then having my skill score reduce is really unrewarding.

Keep up the great work, and a Happy New Year to you and the PGI team.

I really, really hope you're being hyperbolic here. The total value of the loot bags and the free Mech is less than $30 IRL cash. This game is far, far, far less important than your family. Your kids only grow up once, and your wife will still be around long after MWO is gone.

Be wise next time. Do not let your RL rest just for some digital fluff. Yeah, I know, the achiever is strong in you, but be realistic: Either you can get the event's rewards for - what - 10 bucks or the requirements and/or timeframe will be lowered lateron. Either way: 10 dollars in western world is not worth shouting at your family or skip a precious hour of quality time with them.

I like the tiered loot bag system. Classy even!

A little feedback about lootbag - GXP reward numbers are obsolete, they were ok pre skill tree, but now up to ten GXP rewards barely give you few skill points. Compared to C-bills and especially MC rewards, GXP are very low.

Thanks to PGI for realizing that individual loot bags are not supposed to be the challenge...the challenge, such as it is, is getting a sufficient number of them through repeated play.

In the future, if your plan is to force people out of scouting and into invasion, you can keep the 250 or even bump it up to 300-400, but you MUST stop dividing match score by the number of mechs used. Is there actually any compelling reason that it has to remain this way or is it merely some goober's hobby horse that they've yet to justify to the player base?

Mechs in a dropdeck are an expendable resource for winning an invasion match...if a player does not use them, he is more than likely hurting his team's chances at winning. If someone is 'just that awesome' that they don't need more than one mech and they aren't using their team as a meatshield, then it won't hurt you to let someone who plays by your dropdeck rules and uses all four mechs, as the mode was designed, to get a decent match score as well. Perhaps you could significantly bump up the salvage value instead to differentiate the 'just that awesome' guy from the 'played by your rules' guy.

Anyway, thanks for looking at the stats and recognizing that the score requirement was having the opposite effect of what was intended.

Thank you Russ and the rest of PGI for listening to the community. The new system will help with the rewards.

More likely his wife will be gone soon because of his ADDICTION to MW0 and take the children with her, so that he wont see them grow up anyway ... even if he looks up from playing MW0 !

A quick thanks to PGI for the multi-tiered reward system! This is a brilliant idea that should be used (in some form) in future events.

Or if you added daily challenges...
Or when you change the supply caches...
Or if you wanted to rework regular match rewards...

I swear, some of the matches with qualifying scores aren't registering grabbags...

My suggestion to 'force' people into Invasion was merely a response to PGI's stated goal. Personally, I don't mind it being difficult but not impossible to do in Scouting. 250 is a moderately high bar for Scouting. I've gotten 300-350 before, but not very often. To me it's not as important to take Scouting away as to make Invasion more (at all?) palatable. All else being equal, those who want to work on their LP will tend to gravitate toward Invasion. Those who simply want the event and nothing else will be able to choose Scouting if they're good enough to get whatever baseline match score upon which they settle. And in fact, I'm much better in Scouting than I am in Invasion. Both contribute to the overall FP goals, so in my opinion I should be able to do what I'm best at and not drag an Invasion team down doing something at which I don't quite excel.

[Doctor Dinosaur]

Just hurt your team by not focussing fire, deal spread damage using streaks and ignore the objectives and 250 score are quite easy to achieve.

The bags can take about 5 to 10 minutes to appear. If they're not there right after the match, check again later.

A handful of GSP would be *really* attractive...

[MrKvola]

I second this, replace all the GXP rewards with say 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 GSP... I have a million of GXP that I have no use for...
