Dunno if it got changed at some point but the blue post announcement for "phase 1" of the FP event actually states that the IS vs Clan portion ended today O.o

Okay, I'm an avid FP player and that's short even for me...

The "Fight now" button isn't working, but if you click the button above it, you'll be able get into queue on the conflict screen with the "go now" button on the bottom right.

That helped. Thank you.

The loot bags can be earned in all three phases, it continues on through the week. But you only get 2 days for the IS vs IS and Clan vs Clan to get 20 kills/KMDDs with each faction for those events.

And you cant earn the loot bags in the latter 2 phases of event unless your one of those 4 factions

And to the forum warriors, there is a huge penalty if i break contract for me and some others that your too ignorant to have worked out.

The March patch eliminated all penalties for breaking FP contract, as well as the 7 day wait time before entering a new one. You can now change contracts instantly, without penalty.

The only procedure that remains is you still need the 10 match probationary period before your Reputation points and victory bonus accrue on your new contract. But during the 10 match probation, your play counts towards the event progress.

For example, I was able to play quite a lot over the weekend (had a sore back, was sort of chair ridden). I was able to earn significant rewards as a loyalist for two different houses I hadn't played before, while completing the Lucky Charms challenge.

Wrong. Theres another penalty you've missed.

And which is it?

[C337Skymaster]

Unit recruitment costs. It costs 50,000 CB per EXISTING member, to invite a new person to join a unit. So if you have 100 members, and wish to invite your 101st, it costs 5,000,000 CB just to send the invite. Thus, units need to move as a whole, which is up to the unit leader. The probationary period is then time lost on loyalty progress.

[yrrot]

They did miss the case where people that were already in the 7 day waiting period after breaking loyalty didn't have the penalty removed. They supposedly fixed it post-patch, though. Support should be able to fix it, if not.

Work it out. Heres a big clue. Look at my icon for whom im currently with, since before the patch.

[James Argent]

Being coy about this supposed penalty when asked directly about it doesn't make anyone sympathetic toward your plight. People asked what it was. If you want us to care about it, give a straight answer or your concern will be dismissed as trivial.

[MrKvola]

If there is one thing that should have been dropped, it is unit recruitment costs.

Is it just me or does the ticker say we still have 3 days in the "IS vs Clan" event, even though the date shows otherwise:

Phase 1: IS vs Clan
Standard Faction play - Lucky Charms event
Start Time = Friday, Mar 23rd 3 PM PDT (10 PM UTC)
End Time = Monday, Mar 26th 3 PM PDT (10 PM UTC)

You will dismiss it because you cant do it now because you didn't think about it before the patch.

So if I only need four more matches to get the warhorn, but I am not aligned with Steiner, Davion, Nova Cat, or Steel Viper, I have to break loyalty with my current faction for my whole unit and fight for someone else for four matches before realigning my entire unit back to the faction I was originally aligned with and then have my entire unit go through the ten match probationary period, just so I can play the four matches I need, because I am not a merc or one of the small percentage of players aligned with one of the four lucky factions.

And in addition, the loot bags page says I still have almost 4 days left to earn them, so I thought I had plenty of time to get those matches in, but NOPE, only certain people actually have the full event period.

That's stupid. Really, really stupid. To quote a certain Jade Falcon mechanic named Nomad, "that is just so much of what the bull leaves behind him on the road." I am not happy. At all.

Yep, In game Says we have nearly 4 more days to do the FP event. But they've turned off the FP normal queue making it detrimental to some with no proper warning / explanation / forward announcement.

[Mechsniper]

Very frustrated about the misinformation posted. 80 loot bags and thought I had more days to earn. Not clear.
Also, I thought you were supposed to be able to move around now without penalties. Here I am unable to drop in an event match even after choosing Steiner as my Loyalty. The event page is just bugged. Go pick your faction of choice. Play by selecting event details in FP. Then go back and look at your loot bags and event page. The bags are there, and your numbers toward the event.

can someone at pgi confirm if theyre even aware that contract bonus's are broken and showing 0% cbill bonus's for all factions?

I posted in the thread after Matt was asking for feedback.

So he knows... Given he reads it but didn't actually acknowledge it... Standard operating procedure.

Faction play phase 2 event is over 4 days before we were told it would end well done P.G.I. well done. another royal cockup.




6 games away from completing the damned event and now I cant complete it unless I break my liao contract ? 4 days before you said event ends....... you need to tell us stuff like this before these changes happen, Turn regular queue back on in tandem with these other events.

And to the forum warriors, there is a huge penalty if i break contract for me and some others that your too ignorant to have worked out.

FML I hope you are wrong... Otherwise that's the 3rd or 4th consecutive FP event with major issues.

I was gonna finish off mine tonight too.

Likely there is a way around it, but the UI is just, ugh...
