Now this is a good motivation to get work done faster. Just a few more hours...

Will there be bonuses for tournament supporters like in past events?

There should be a penalty for switching factions and mercenaries should have lesser rewards from such events. Loyalty units need to shine at some point. *Waits on his Marik office for PGI to throw a bone at Marik loyalists at some point*. The event is nice but do cross fights along all factions THE SAME TIME.

There were...when the mode had a decent player population...it doesn't anymore. Last night was the first time I'd clicked the faction warfare button in several months. I think there was still a foot of snow on my lawn the last time I bothered with that section of the game.

Well done on the 36 kill assists in your second game, now that is particularly impressive in a 12v12 game; I'm sure the player base could do with feedback on how to achieve that.

Does your brain shut off as to how faction warfare mode works when you're misbehaving ?

funny, I have it the other way around. with daily fw-matches, I think I can count the number of QPs I made since last winter

if you are going to do specific faction events, why don't you let us pick a faction for the event to support and not make everyone do a faction change to participate. I cant seehow no one brought up in a design meeting that the player base is already small and fractured among multiple factions and then lets doe an event that only allows 1/7 of the factions participate.

Nice little efford lets see if we get some ppl to play this weekend.

PGI should make 2 different pools for Faction play. People who group up will get thrown in the group que faction play and people who are not in groups will get qued in solo faction play. That way there will be no pub stomps.

this is a good idea on paper, but the pop is too low for it to work in practice. games would take 30min+ to find.

They could restrict FW to 12-person clan groups. Similar to Clan Wars in World of Tanks. And then not make any events for that, so that the MC for holding planets are the only reward.
Currently, people join FW for the event bonuses, have a ****** time, and (worst case) quit MWO. Great for the playerbase, I'm sure.

Always do, I was just referring to your nickname. Also not picking on you. Just pointing out that you do not correct false claims. Misinforming Casual-class players is still misinforming. I didn't say you do that with malicious intent, but you do and leave things when it suits you. Which is okay, just don't claim that you wouldn't.

It's not misinforming, it was going with the information he had at the time. There was no announcement that the invasion modes would be locked to the one needed for each day. It was a legitimate concern for myself and others that we might only have a 20% chance (averaged over the entire planetary slider range) of getting the correct game mode for each day. Your 'debunking' only came after people had the chance to experience the Skirmish mode lock for themselves. And unlike me, in that I think it's unnecessary to go back and edit a previous post to account for new information that has become self-evident, DV does, or he puts up a new post with the updated info.

[Mikayshen]

I haven't stepped into FP in ages, are these challenges only for full 12v12 FP or is will scouting work for everything?

[TAPAH 483-K]

Good event Thx PGi

[Rodrigo Martinez]

How the "Earn 1250 Conquest Bonus" will work? We will have an event conquest matches to jump in or I have to play siege to get the conquest match as a random win?

[kapusta11]

Can't change faction temporarily without leaving the unit I'm in. I guess I'll skip this one.

[The Teddy Bear]

I got a nostalgic feeling when I saw this campaign. A full day of only siege mode! Hopefully this one will be very successful so that we get a clan version as well.

[Marquis De Lafayette]

So far...(except for the lack of an announcement with a day or more lead time, c’mon PGI)....this is the best executed FW event PGI has put on. Lots of the problems that have plagued the past events have been fixed. So, much improved PGI...thanks!

[-Spectre]

So, uh, is regular Clan vs IS FP suspended? It looks like that from the Inner Sphere map. I'm all for faction specific events, but at least let the other guys play without having to switch factions! Come on, guys!

The Clans wouldn't just sit on their haunches while the freebirths fought amongst themselves, and wait for them to be unified to attack.

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

So I completed every challenge in one match, except winning. Which took several more matches, cuz pug life. Finally lucked into a drop that was half a unit, so of course we stomped the pug drop on the other side. I didn't hardly have to do anything. lol

These are my challenge stats...

6229/500 dmg
43/15 components
109/15 assists
29/5 kills or kmdd
1/1 victory in skirmish.

LMAO
