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.

Idk....many Clan and non-Davion/Kurita loyalists didn’t do the IS event, so it shouldn’t be too different this time. I do know that it seemed like many NA players didn’t quite realize that the event started yesterday night (in NA), even though PGI did a better job announcing it. Then there are some folks who shall not be named who made mistake of searching for 30 mins only to then be dropped into IS v Clan FW because they didn’t realize it wasn’t shut down and clicked the wrong “search”. Tonight will be a better indicator, as from the looks of it Wolf does have several experienced and active FW units playing for it.....including the unit that won planets in all 4 phases of the Davion-Kurita conflict.

I'm getting lots of disconnects at the end of matches. That means no credit for the win yet.

Another lurm fest, what a great game MWO start to be.....

Hi, I'm missing something. Here is the event description :
Clan Jade Falcon attempts to take Oberon VI from Clan Wolf. The Hyperpulse Generator located on Oberon VI is still nonfunctional.

Here is what I understand , bla bla bla bla bla bla.

Here is the event requirement :
Earn a Victory in Domination 0 / 1

Wut, just did a domination and win but didnt received any reward. PGI could you please be more specific?

Hey sorry if i step on your toes, but did you actually claim your reward? If you do know what that means and/or have participated in former events - disregard.

Considering this is your first post, and in case you did not notice:
On the bottom bar on the left ther should be a "sum" or "sigma" symbol. Click on it, go to "current" or "active" events, and there should be a padlock symbol to claim your reward.

It's raining LRMs. I think I'll rather do some work then get killed by an endless stream of blue rockets match after match. Sigh, could've been good but thanks to the lrm buff it just sucks to play.

[Maruku Meshima]

I wish loyalist Units that not change Clan/faction for those events have to get something! I mean its just because in this two little FW Events i see many Players and Units change there Loyality like a cocain sniffing b* who would do anything for the next kick.
I know its a game... blablabla... but if its so easy to manipulate the playerbase? Guys this game has a Battletech background and something i miss here is the point of Loyality! if like now Clan Wolf vs. Clan Jade falcon there will no Smoke Jaguars say:
"oh look the Wolfs has trouble with the falcons. 47th Garrison Cluster lets help them! we change our loyality into Clan Wolf and leap Our Clan for the next days!"
thats ********.
Give Units/Loyalplayers that not change there loyality some Loyalitypoints like 10.000 per Eventday the dont can play factionplay.

Don't worry. I gave the Falcons a good taste of their own medicine tonight

[F Wulf]

I wonder why so ?many? PGI people were playing scouting yesterday..... I saw 2 of them during a relatively short time.

So far I really enjoy the event . The only thing I do not like is that loyalists (like ghost bear,...) will be left out again.

How about some kind of reward for those units really being loyal to their faction?

Yes, got the bug there, I got disconnected once, I reconnected but after the round complete I didn't get credited for the win.
I played once more, then got a win, and this time I got credited.

I wish they give loyalists something to do too, I don't like being a merc for too long.

[Xaat Xuun]

earlier I did just fine with my alt, stayed to finish off the probation. win/loss 2/1, would had been 1/1, but the other side was never launching any UAV's, took me 3 matches to get that part done.
the extra matches were very very bad for me, I was probably sound like someone that could only speak in tongues , and also my worse ever score.
learned that a drop zone (H7) in River city Domination is straight across the other side of the Citadel, no coverage, enemy don't need to camp, the drop zone is right where they are. worse place ever, no one would move me or the rest in the lance, and I didn't know how ( I asked later, and now I know how), worse cooperative team ever . . so I thought, it got worse on the next match. different team too

I think this is a great event, just some thoughts that may make others happy.
this can only happen once a month, and with to many stubborn not willing to switch faction for 4-5 days, maybe a event server for such an event
choose faction once you join server, it does not affect main server faction, faction swamping optional, to help balance getting matches
only issue is it probably be like PTS, so it might end up not having all your mechs, and not sure one could earn their LP during that time . . okaY BAD IDEA

I lost one game outta 24 I think I played. Sometimes in a group no larger than 6 players, even against 12man teams. Granted that isn't possible for everyone, but there is no reason to love 7 drops in a row.

A lot of peoples issues are the builds they bring. I mean a Phoenix Hawk with a Large Laser, Med Laser and Machine Guns for Alpine Peaks? People who do that are pretty much asking to be chopped up as it's not a competitive build at all.

Hopefully people out there running such builds have a bit of a think before this weekend and put some effort into it. It will improve their enjoyment a significant amount.

I gave advice to a few players over the week and most were able to have many wins and many games over 1500dmg even against 12mans while dropping in a 2-3man group... Key point - They ran decent builds

Well, take over my account and change my mechs however you like. 30 years ago I was in the Sports Car Club of America. But you can give me a very fast car right now and I'd just be a danger to others.

I'm afraid that for me, the game, the mechs but mainly the player/me is a problem.

I had 7 matches yesterday and 6 were against 12 man teams. We lost all 7 of them.

This game still owes me Premium Time, when it is over I'm back to Total War.

Hi there, Zyro. Those afterthoughts in my hand-signing are either to provide a 'tl;dr' version of my thoughts, or to let me post something that goes with the post but couldn't be fit directly into the post text itself. Either way, I ask that you don't let it bother you, as it became part of my natural posting style years before I started playing MWO.

agreed, loyalist players should get extra points some how.
if they want faction play to be used more, then make fp events that give extra 2x or 3x or more the amount of loyalty points towards their clan.
making events where you have to switch loyalty is stupid. if that is the case, then why have separate groups at all? but once again this is another weekend loyalists can not participate. thanks again for your epic fubar pgi

[Xezar 123]

Yeah, I wish the event allow other factions to join in. It will be fun to have some clan fight with inner sphere spillovers taking sides and joining in.

[James Argent]

Re: 'but muh loyalist.' If you like roleplaying that much, roleplay that you're a bondsman in one of the factions involved in the event, and that you'll be returned to your faction once the event is over, either out of respect for how well you performed or because the bonding faction decided you weren't worth keeping and would do more for them if you were with your original faction.

Re: 'autistic screeching about LRMs.' Did you bring AMS? Did you skill for Radar Deprivation? Did you shoot the UAV or the NARCer/spotter? Did you...oh, I don't know...find a rock, building, or depression and keep it close enough to walk casually over to it? The tools are there, it's all on you if you don't use them. For people who constantly complain about the lack of skill required to use LRMs, your own skills certainly don't seem up to the challenge of a playstyle that takes you out of your established comfort zone. Yes, I died to LRMs a few times last night. You know what, though? Almost everybody dies a few times in every Invasion match no matter what weapon is used against them...that's why you're required to bring four mechs in your dropdeck. If it wasn't for the LRMs, you'd die to something else and it would change nothing except for checking some box in your head you've worked up as being somehow more acceptable.

[Marius Evander]

Oh wow.... i somehow didnt get river city during my domination game but yeah that open water dropzone is TERRIBLE my condolences to anyone who had to deal with it.
