Indeed. However, if anything is going to affect the Rating further, it would have to do more with...

• The feel of the Event's Battle Periods versus being able to ignore Real Life trying to derail people
  
• A bug in the Event's design which I haven't found yet, likely in the Personal Challenges
  
• A problem with the MWO Game Code itself causing a problem to actually operating in the Client

...because as this Event is, it's looking pretty good. It just needs a few differences to get it just right.

Oh... And it needs less people (like 'Top-Tier Competitive'-type Players) misinterpreting my posts which come from a 'Casual-Class Player's Point-Of-View. That's particularly when I'm not getting all my thoughts posted clearly while being on an empty stomach and half-tired.

Already done with the personal challenges. For Counter ECM bit, I tagged an ECM Commando and then shot him with streaks. That did it.

Well, I narc'd tagged and used a uav on against any enemy ecm mech, locked on ssrms and still nothing on the event reward - bugged or am I missing something?

Some people are saying that someone else has to do the locked damage while you're countering the ECM. If it's true that's a colossally stupid way to do things. If you go out of your way to hunt down an enemy ECM mech (which doesn't always exist and isn't even required to be in ANY event matches) and counter its ECM, you shouldn't have to sit there waiting for someone else on your team to complete the objective for you. This is especially true given the traditional animus directed toward lock-on weapons in FP. If you want to field lock-on weapons to complete the event task that should be enough.

You need to deal at least some damage to the target having your own lock/counter ecm system on it. Must've missed the damage bit. Worked for me.

BAPs and UAVs are your friend for the stealth part of the personnal challenge

Took me one match once I discovered that part lol

The hardest part was to find an ECM mech !

Don't be so short sighted, many IS decks are being built right now and units are getting new people you will play against when the event is over so it's good for FP in general. Besides that, next event will probably be Clan only so no reason to skip fun.

I don't play IS....EVER anymore... as a matter of fact I sold off most if not all my IS mechs when i got my first batch of clan mechs. I have like 3 Is mechs.... and I'm not going to quit a loyalist contract..... plus there are many other factors that apply t why i will never touch an IS mech again... Also if you havne't noticed FP is dead...these events are mearly a poorly charge defibrillator, when their over Fp will return to it's almost dead state.... More than half my friends list is filled with people who never come online anymore Does PGI REALLY want to tick off more people by alienating 50% or less of their playerbase? we've already lost a bunch of players..... does PGI want MORE people to leave? I'm already not buying MW5....

I'm probably going to do a face palm when I get the answer to this but what's a BAP?

It’s the Beagle Active Probe, in the equipment section in the mechlab

[Rodrigo Martinez]

Counter ECM a Mech and get Locked Damage - how to get that? I need a mech with ECM in counter mode or BAP but what about the rest part? I have to lock this mech and deal some damage with lock-on weapons like streaks or lrm?

Qp for you this week. And for me next week. Thats life.

I believe the game needs more sides or no sides at all. Its kind of bad, if a person who associate himself with one faction don't get content. The whole thing should be closer to some tank arena gamd experience. Lore and sides doesn't really fit. I wish devs just make unit global ladder and call it a faction play. That would do.

On the earlier event with FP I received CB for each completed day challanges (tournament supporter pack), now I don't receive them. Something changed?

Incursion is such the opposite of fun.

We dropped in all Assassins and rolled the base in wave 1 - because that's what Incursion is based around. Nobody on either side got paid really anything - but that's the point, right? Baserush mode?

Incursion is the opposite of fun. It is anti-fun. Nobody on either side likes Incursion when you play it as Incursion. The only way to have fun in Incursion is to play it like Assault - just with a badly designed box to stand in.

Which is terrible because the concepts of getting energy cells for radar, dropships and jammer is great. Just remove the 'blow up the base' part. Increase the health of the three actual functions by like 5x, remove the base pieces, just make destroying them remove their use from the other team. Then play it to kills - or even add that functionality to Conquest. That would be fun; having to decide if you're using lights to cap or you spend the time to run Radar to see where the enemy is, have the Dropships not go to the enemy base but instead the capture areas.

Current Incursion just makes people not want to play.

It seems like the this event shares the same issue with the last IS event (I didn't play the Clan one so I can't comment) and that is how timezones matter way too much, I can login around 9AM BST and see Davion thrashing then login at 9PM BST to see Liao thrashing. Allowing for some way for other loyalists to get involved in the event would help mitigate this problem slightly and obviously allow them to get in on the event rewards too.

I'm not sure on their actual health, but having them around the same hitpoints for the o-gens might work in FP.

My group was dropping mostly with 2 assaults + 2 assassins... wave 1 was always assassins, you go in, find the enemy, if they're assassins you're fast enough to counter, if not you smash their heavies with your assassins and rough up their base a bit. Then you'd bring in the assaults to actually fight, and you still have another assassin left if you need to quickly respawn to defend the base or kill theirs.

It was pretty lame. Did have a decent fight vs G-NX, they went for a similar strategy, so we had an assassin vs assassin fight wave 1, then got to fight with heavies / assaults for the rest of the match. Not sure why they got salty at the end saying stuff like, "This is why nobody plays you" though, when they did the same strategy as us, and it was 48-30 in the end, so not a complete stomp either.

Maybe because you beat them?
