Thanks for the twenty minutes heads-up, would be a shame if anyone would miss half of the first day because of time zones and going to bed just before the event starts

[Marius Evander]

YaY event.

Can I get my loyalty rep rank back on Cadoazazel for Smoke jag while we at it, since you decided people shouldn't be penalised for breaking loyalty now ? Thanks.

10am Saturday in Australia, people probably already made weekend plans base on no events, Europeans Sleeping ? and probably already made weekend plans based on no events.

I was taking my kids to the snow, but 8am recieved report wasn't cold enough last night and our secret snow zone has no snow today so gonna try again next weekend.

[Marius Evander]

Please clarify in origional post, do we NEED to be Kurita / Davion ? or "others are "helping" " ?


If we dont get reply ill try to let ya'll know when i work it out.

Its a seperate Faction Play Fight NOW / Scout now conflict to the main normal everyone Clan vs IS conflict, I am Kurita Mercenary and its letting me queue. So I believe you dont have to be loyalist.

[FallGuy0815]

To participate in the Event you have to be Kurita/Davion, but at least the rest of faction play is not shut down like last time. Also, i will have to put bigger sarcasm signs on my post with the "20 minutes advanced warning" :-/

[byter75]

Hmm.. I think I might skip this event, I really enjoy scouting a lot more than invasion, it feels bad missing out on a lot of this event and I'm not looking forward to possibly grinding for hours for things like getting a win on skirmish.

[James Argent]

I am confused by the mode restrictions. How can you guarantee that any particular invasion mode will be available so that we should be able to complete each day in two to four matches? Are you hard-locking each day to a single mode in FP for those in the appropriate factions or is it 'two to four matches if the right mode ever shows up two to four times?'

[FallGuy0815]

The event is skirmish only, so it is just "a win" in this case. Except for _maybe_ the components there is not a lot of grinding included to be fair. I just wish for an earlier announcment for these things, especially if they start at 2 AM and only last 24 hours

1st day has 100MC for scouting win

[Mikayshen]

So each day is something like 5 challenges, that's a good bonus for the TSPers. Still though, it's FP. Not sure if I want to step into that, plus my unit would need to change factions for it.

[KursedVixen]

how does anybody do this with the lack of players?

check the box show only eligble rewards to see apparently there are non-faction based rewards up to 300 mc! today.

Edited by KursedVixen, 03 August 2018 - 04:30 PM.

[Marius Evander]

now the question is , can you complete these rewards in the normal clan vs is conflict

Edited by Cadoazreal, 03 August 2018 - 04:31 PM.

[PobbestGob]

looks fun, thank you hoping this is the start of some more good developments for FP and the game as a whole. clan v clan would be great, refusal war wolf vs the falcons maybe. also its about time the jaguars got eliminated, could do an event around that. maybe keep the faction as an option for any jags that want it, depending on community reception of the idea.

What a joke. PGI fails to get any movement on Solaris so now it's back to beating the dead faction play horse some more. While we are at it - let's limit it to certain factions. Oh yea, thats right, the only thing that matters in FP is if you are IS or Clan.

No it only matters if your IS.....Because PGI IS Factionist or something....

Yeah I just watched somone get the 'skirmish win' in scouting. I am not sure why they couldn't have just said 'get a victory' rather than implying that it needs to be done 'in skirmish'. (Though yeah, I am much more interested now.. at least whilst I can do it all in scouting)

Thank you for that! I would not have thought that scouting counts, and i had a veritable Blow-Out on the first Invasion game. If it boils down to the win, i will do scouting too.
