Okay, had to skip a bunch of posts with people complaining about Map Rotation... PGI IS REALLY NEEDING TO FIX THAT, DAMNIT... And yeah, "Solaris City" could use the addition of Escort and Incursion, as that map seems to have worthwhile potential for those Modes.



By the way, it hits me... I could almost bet Matt Newman & the rest of PGI's Event Handlers are looking for a number from me on this Event. Unfortunately, I have to compare my "breeze-through experience" with all those who are "stuck at Square One", and it doesn't make things look anywhere close to near as happy. So this Event is getting an 'Overall Multi-Rating'... My first time ever doing this. I'm giving these numbers...

• 10/10 for those that got the experience of everything just going right for them, getting enough matches to flatly chew through it all easily. Free stuff, we're thankful. (I'm one of these guys, too. So... Trying to post this without bias as much as possible!)
  
• 4.0/10 for the greater population of the player base who are currently getting screwed because this map isn't coming up in the rotation enough. Like, the Challenges are there to be done, but they can't even get the Map to do it on in the first place! (I would even bet they think my Ratings should be a lot lower than this. Please don't prove their point, PGI...)
  
• 6.3/10 OVERALL AVERAGE because those of us that had the best experience are having to watch others suffer, and put up with the anger being unleashed in this thread over it.

...and leaving PGI with a recommendation to fix that Map Voting Frequency for "Solaris City" as quickly as possible!



Now for the one post that was really worth replying to...

I don't know about the rest of you but I would like to see the in game notification return of event rewards, for me it's an acknowledgement of getting them from the game; with it just appearing I always end up wondering whether I actually got it or not.

Hi there. I agree with you. I don't know why PGI detached the Injection Notifications from the Website part of the Event System, but it really should be re-attached. That way, the Website functions just like as if you clicked it from the In-Game Event Browser, seeing as I last heard that some people currently are unable to use the In-Game form.

Ey you Super mega canadian Brain acrobats at pgi... Can we have some Solaris city map to play on it???
played the whole day today and had it 2 times and then never again even for voting .
i mean you give us a event for the map but no map to play on it really smart. as usual.

12 QP matches yesterday and Solaris wasn't even a voting option once.

What a joke.

Going to play BattleTech today instead.

[Ixidor Dinne]

Completed challenge in about 20-25 matches this morning (cdt) tier 3 N/A server.

[Aldodrem]

Salty I am. Got a lump of coal in the rare cache

[Ixidor Dinne]

Got a stack of presents in my rare box....lulz

[Havyek]

Hate the event.

Hate events based on map rotation, thought PGI had FINALLY gotten away from that.

[MechaBattler]

Would have been nice if dropping on Solaris City didn't cause a seizure to my computer. I had to turn everything all the way down just for it to be playable.

[Spare Parts Bin]

I love this map but have only gotten 2 games here. Got two accomplishments though. Yes, I will take that 1.2 million C-Bills. Thanks PGI!

[Steel Raven]

Have plenty of time to finish the event so I'm not sweating the rotation but some many people online for both events tonight, I keep getting bumped off the server.

[Dace Darkhunter]

Map's nice, a bit huge though but it's nice. Unless you are stuck with chasing down a stealth pirates bane on a skirmish game mode running around the map for 9mins hah.

[DucPilot]

Could we please see this map come up more often in QP? Been playing for 3 hours now and have not seen it show up once!

[Steel Raven]

Funny thing is it took me all day to get 4 matches on Solaris City but every game someone complains "Solaris again!?"

So apparently only a number of us are getting burned by the match maker *shrug* still got plenty of time to finish the event.

[ExoForce]

As a light I got Solaris quite often, as an assault very rare. Go figure...

[Frost1983]

Kind of hard to attempt this event when the map doesn't even show up >

when it does show up what makes you think anyone will vote for it?

[DontStandBehindMe]

4 hours to get one game on Solaris City (not even a chance to vote for it)...increase frequency working as intended, just like PGI's high quality match maker lol

[Spare Parts Bin]

At least they gave us 13 days to complete the event because it seems much of the voting population did not get the memo and vote for Alpine Peaks or Polar Highlands. I would love to have another challenge on Alpine Peaks later.

lol 15 games since event started and i havent even seen the map yet

Over 20 Rounds, not even once Solaris City was even in the votes... This is far beyond "bad luck".

[BTGbullseye]

Interestingly, the only time SC showed up in the rotation for me after the event started, it was outvoted by Terra Therma. At least it was a fun match...
