Worst matches ever, no reason to play.this event blows. Keep it up PGI, I will finally stop playing. Tired of being on a team that really sucks, over, and over.

I'm sure evil PGI singled you out to pair with horrible teams.

I've actually enjoyed this event. Playing with/against mechs you don't see very often.

[Bud Crue]

I disagree.

While I am more than happy to jump PGI's **** when they do something personally irritating or counter to their own self-interest (the latter particularly flabbergast me), I find that events which entice me into playing mechs that I find to be pathetic or just less than optimal is a good thing by them (not all the mechs in the event are under performers, but a lot of them suspiciously are) .

It is a sign of hope.

I like to think PGI does these things so that they can get a cleaner data set from which to analyze such under performers as these mechs, and especially their Trials - perhaps I should say "nominally underplayed mechs"-, so as to better review these POS in the future and perhaps attempt to fix them (Yes, I know I am being irrationally hopeful here, but hey I can dream).

So carry on PGI! Carry on. Entice us into playing crap mechs! Shine a light on the mediocrity of these under performers and your own past assertions that they are balanced! And then, by god, try and actually make them worth playing without the bribery of some extra c-bills and a camo pattern.

We had 5 Jenners on my team earlier. While it's awesomely nostalgic to see those little mechs getting around, it wasn't awesome to see them running at 120kph or lower. Turns out that the allure of 6 MLAS and 150+kph isn't quite what it used to be.

We... did not win. We didn't win with extreme prejudice.

I find this event fantastic, it should be implemented permanently as sort of a daily reward, the server should pick randomly several mechs from each player's hangar and provide small rewards for the first victory of the day with each of them, it should be different for each player so we don't get a saturation of the same mechs.

[Scyther]

Stinks less than the troll-bait though.

[Jonathan8883]

This has been fun. I never realized how small catapults are... when I get more mech bays, I may pick one up.

[Bohxim]

At the same time with a nick including the word spud, you sure you aren't 1 of the potatoes?

[Nesutizale]

Yes MWO has these days where you find yourself with some...suboptimal players but that is what happens when random people are thrown together. Sometimes you stomp, sometimes you get stomped.

The event has little to do with that from what I experianced. For the last few days I had one where we constantly stomped people 12 : 1-4 and other theys where I was on the loosing side.

Beside that I find the event very entertaining. Not only is there finaly some variaty in mechs you see but also it made me pick up a mech that I never would have and I found that its fun to play.
To bad my Victor is not on the list.

[PocketYoda]

Agree i've found this event less than stellar, frustrating and miserable those KMDDs were.. I feel an event should be fun and exciting this was everything but.

[Tiewolf]

I really enjoy this event. Yes it is hard with bad mechs and people Leeroy yolo to get one KMDD. But you see so many mechs you usually never see. Much more fun then playing/seeing the 10+metamechs all the time.

I allways find it funny how people see themself FORCED to do an event. "I have to do XYZ because its an event."

No you don't. Just play any other mech you like. No one will beat you to death with chopsticks because you didn't play the event.

Why are people allways thinking that?
Events are there to flawor the game with something different to do and I welcome that. I can't do all of them because I don't have the mechs and I won't buy them extra for this, ok bought the Zeus and its fun but I don't care for the rest.
I even have started the Griffin part and I don't keep playing because I don't like the Griffin.
Do I complain about it? No because there is no reason to it. I am NOT entitled to get the rewards. I can decide to play the event or not.

My KDR has doubled since the event started, simply because everything I shoot at keels over and dies almost immediately. The proliferation of Trial mechs, often in the hands of returning players, turned QP into nothing more than a turkey shoot. Wins stopped being satisfying because I didn't have to work for my 6 kills, and losses are so pathetic I want to cry.

Thank god FF15 was released this week.

They checked names of the players who QQ most @forums and gives them only T5 teams for punishment.

I know i'm not but i have low money so events are pretty much helpful to getting extra cbils, not needed no but a very big help to get much needed upgrades, not everyone has 300-400 million cbils hanging around..

Also the free camo for some mechs that don't have any is a real incentive.. Yes you are right but it still was a miserable slog getting those things i wanted.

Just think events should be fun not a grind.

Maybe go back to the same mech you were playing over and over and over before the Event? If the handful of mechs are so far outside your comfort zone to pilot, don't.

If you happen to be the only one on your side that can seem to pilot a mech and not derping in one of these unfamiliar mechs, eliminate the risk and form a group of equally skilled pilots.

[Terrorsdawn]

So funny how the new event system was going to allow for new exciting events but in the end it's just the same old crap over and over. PGI once more over hyped the whole event system and failed to deliver depth in the game. I myself am so tired of finding out each new event is just another round of kill assist this time, kmdd that time blah blah, blah blah. So expecting Russ's big Faction Event before Solaris to be just the same stale S**t.

People aren't necessarily being rational when they say that. My take on it: They want to play the event, but they're frustrated by it and upset. The nature of competitive gaming is that it's not relaxing. You want to sit down, pop in to your GRF and have a good time. But then you get 3 games in a row where the enemy team has godlike coordination and you get mowed down 1-12. People get upset. They post nonsense.

agreed, I hit alt+f4 in a middle of a match due to frustration. Its like people forget the core mechanics on how to win in an FPS.
