Hop to it

Nicely done on the detailed descriptions. Let's hope there are no issues with this one

[IllCaesar]

The game will distinguish that MC UAVs and C-Bills UAV both count towards the goals, right? If there's any oversight to be made here my guess is that its that.

[GamerPro4000]

Thanks PGI! This is Eggs-actly what i needed!

Indeed. About time that we could do so. There's even plenty of time set up to do it in. And there's good stuff waiting for everyone, each of many kinds. I'm almost wishing this Event had already started, except for the fact that I've got to go finish that Previous Event still... LOL

I second that. We definitely want an Event that doesn't make people mad. I just hope that CW/FW/FP returns to Normal Battle Mode for those that don't want to take part for some insane reason.

Eh, let's just both hope that it treats any UAV used in the same manner. It's good to have consistency, you know?

Excuse me, everyone. I've got to scram. Time is ticking.

Can we counter ECM with BAP too? I mean does it count toward the challenge?!

This event pleases me.

I do not believe the BAP counter triggers the Counter ECM action.

[Luscious Dan]

The description specifically says switch your ECM to "counter" mode, so I don't think the other methods will count here. Just equip ECM and press J when your radar goes staticky and you should get it, simple as that.

[IllCaesar]

Waaaaaait a minute, you're not getting off that easy. Is this your way of telling me there isn't going to be an Urbie Dery mode in Solaris where its only Urbanmechs?

[Kalimaster]

This event should scramble up some nice gaming.....

[STEF_]

NICE!

[Rodrigo Martinez]

Nice event. But there will an april fool part, right? I mean something with deeper urbanmech involvement.

everyone that login April 1st gets a free Urbanmech IIC

i think PGI would need to hide for a few millenniums if they posted that. i would find it funny but the urbicult would hunt and kill.

Maybe I imagined it but I could have sworn you can get a counter ECM off even a UAV (somehow?) Could have sworn I was awarded this in matches where I had no other way to counter.

It comes down to the definition, I guess, because if a mech under ecm ultimately is targeted, then by definition the ECM was "countered", right?

[Poltuhgeist]

would shooting a PPC at a mech w/ ECM count as a counter ECM?

For Clan players, we need you to put the Urbanmech IIC in. Hint, hint...
