Will those gamemodes be the only ones then playable on the certain day? Or at least more likely to get chosen?
Because time is very limited when it s just 1 day to complete a challenge.

If it's anything like the previous event, yes, those are the only game modes. Which is kinda cool, having a whole day where you know what to expect, so you can think ahead about what kind of strategies you want to run.

So the Clan event gets more days, and better rewards each day. Typical.

Errrrrrrr......... 4 days of 300 MC (1200) Inner Sphere event, 5 days of 200 MC (1000) Clan event.

Each day still has 3 cockpit items, 1 for each slot and 100 less mc, 1 less mission each day.

5 days of 4 missions instead of 4 days of 5 missions. PGI are testing what works best, will N.A. play FP events on thursday evenings.

In my opinion it is not better rewards, it is less "coz casuals have to play dreaded stomping faction play for 1 more day) PGI are testing how little rewards the casual player will tolerate at the risk of 12 man stomps.

Having said that ALL the challenges look very easy to complete compared to the 3 most difficult in the I.S. event, so I guess, easier missions, lesser total reward.

I'm happy FP will have insta queue's, but continuing our 12 man stomps mode will as others have said end up discourging more people / turn more people away from the mode in the long run.

Thankyou PGI for announcing the event much more in advance, I didnt realise it was going to be starting a day earlier and I am sure I am not the only one who thought that 5th day would be at the end not the beginning, being other end of the timezones globe probably didnt help me. But thats my problem not looking closely enough but thought it was worth mentioning.

pgi, you are fubared......you want the clans divided? to do the event we have to claim loyalty to one one side or the other? wtf?

[Dee Eight]

From yesterday to now the clan wolf population jumped four percentage points, but from what i've seen so far, not the good four percent...

The IS one gave more MC but other than the emerald cicida it also only gave crappy warhorns. I'll take fewer MC for better horns.

Hey all

Could these events be limited to groups of 4 or solo. This will be more fair on puggles (who we stomp or get stomped)

Just in case I missed this mentioned somewhere else, apoligies.

Thanks

So, dumb question. The first challenge is to scout 10 enemy mechs. How do you Scout enemy mechs?

Be the first one on your team to have their target dorito show up on your HUD. Each enemy mech activated can be scouted once per game.

[Dee Eight]

Its not merely first with the dorito. Its the first to hit the R key for the dorito.

Right, right...R is just such a reflex for me I forget having to do it.

Well after the fiasco of scout bolting in the last event I opted not to play any of the remainder as they had aspect in them that would lead to full potato.
I am very happy to see there is none this time round. I am still not a fan of FW, but at least now the rewards are normal play types and behaviours and not rush for glory idiocy.

[Kenny Starfighter]

Great event!
I like it a lot!

[MISSDEMEANOR]

Skirmish win not registering, other progress ok

[Javin]

Nice event PGI! Thank you.

Saw news about FW event. Got all excited, logged in. Clicked Faction Warfare tab. Realized I can't play FW because my Unit is not in an 'eligible' faction. Sigh. Logged out.

Quit your unit and faction and rejoin them after the event . Life is just that easy .

Seems like Clan Wolf is being eaten alive, we won 2 straight games this morning and the bar didn't move one bit. Guess we'll have to carry harder this time. Rewards are ok and it's a lot less stompy compared to QP from what I've seen so far and you get to try out several different playstyles during one match which is really nice. I tried to do several QP matches to test out something after a while and.. ugh. FP is what MWO should be. It's almost dead cause it didn't get much love from PGI in favor of Solaris and QP events but even a little bit of effort will get things going again. And for the love of Gods, PGI... Please fix the hitboxes on the Omega Gun!

Unless they kick you out of the unit because they're hardcore RP'ers....

Maybe it's just a matter of timing, but it felt like more people were on for the last event than this one. I had to wait 5 minutes for a team for scouting, and now we're waiting for opponents.

Also, what's up with the crazy Jade Falcons winning the planet so far?



Oops, server is down. How do you rejoin a Scouting match? I can't find an option to do so.

Last night there seemed to be a lot fewer people playing than in the last event, yea. Was Jade Falcon, spent like 15 minutes searching for a match (with a full 12 man group!), went Wolf Merc, got much faster drops, but still not instant, like a 1-2 minute wait. Maybe fewer people are playing because it's not the weekend yet, or maybe fewer people have clan mechs? I know a fair few IS Loyalists are refusing to participate because of RP / Lore reasons.

Yes, Clan Cawcaw is thoroughly defeating Clan Awoo a lot of the time.
