Hot dame, puts down battletech. Hello mwo.

[DarkFhoenix]

But i am still recovering from the last event . Do these mechs come with mechbays ?

Ahh well back to the trenches XD . Thanks PGI .

I have no idea what mech to choose .

Meh... you're giving up on a HUGE smattering of stuff! I think you're gonna regret not trying!

---

Frankly, I've got a better question for PGI... more like several...

• Why does it have to be Four Specific Clan Mechs? Why can't it just be Any Clan Mech Per Each Weight Class? Is there something that PGI is looking for and/or trying to figure out?
  
• Heck, what's the actual trigger for the Pick-A-Prize? Does it require the Kill/KMDD Counts, or merely just the Matches Played?
  
• Also, what caused the misspelling which I see...

  ...where it should be spelled "StormCrow"???

...because I'm frankly a tad confused here!!!!!

*Yanks the tarp off the dusty warhawk that had been stripped down to the things he couldnt sell off.* Heh, well old girl looks like you actually get to come out and play for once.

[stealthraccoon]

What if I just drive said mechs - or if I die in them, that should count, right?

[Iron Lemur]

So, there's ambiguity in the pick-a-prize thing.

On the event page it says to complete the challenge (i.e. 50 100 score games plus Kill/KMDD with the 4 chassis).

On the tournament page, it say, "Achieve a minimum Match Score of 100 in 50 Matches in Any Mode to receive the Pick a Prize."

So... which is it?

[Nucular]

Could you put Cheetahs, Stormcrows, Hellbringers and Warhawks on a discount sale, please? For the duration of the event? Would be much appreciated.

Agreed... AND a Mech Bay Sale too, PLEASE?!?!? Then at least I (and many others) wouldn't choke on purchasing a WarHawk (or even one of the other three), should I end up finding something I wish to build and keep! It would get rid of the bottleneck that would force people to limit themselves to the Trial Edition, and let PGI's Staff get a bunch of info on how people wish to load one up!

Augh!!! I'm caught in a Heatwave where I live, and my Air Conditioning has broken down!!! I am physically unable to keep my computer running MWO safely, and am having to lose both Active Premium Time from the Previous Event, as well as Participation Time on This Event's Challenge! Can we get 24 Hours added on the other end of this Event to compensate for those caught out by the Extreme Hot Weather?!?!?

[Xeno Phalcon]

Also because it made me laugh.

Why not make it super hot?

[MISBEHAVING 2112]

Hi Matt,

Would it be too cheeky to ask for a mech bay with the pick a prize?

Just misbehaving

[Iron Lemur]

Oh, not this again. Are there problems with a KMDD and Kills not being registered? I just had a solo kill, and got 1 credit.

[Buenaventura]

Hmm, Cicada, Enforcer, Crab, Kintaro, Vindicator or Phoenix Hawk?
