apparently you didn't under stand what I said. never said they were forcing me. I like the events but would like more time so I can get them done. its the time frame we have that gets me. I missed some from the last one because I ran out of time and all my drops where losses . and they are forcing me with the promise of free goodies. if that isn't a gun to my head I dont know what is.


PGI are "forcing you" and "holding a gun to your head" because they are giving a couple of dollars of free stuff away?

Lol... Please.

If you drop the self entitlement attitude you'll be fine.

Just take this event as a nod of acknowledgement towards the FP veterans for their effort in keeping the mode alive for four years. If you are a random pugger who doesn't even do FP in general, then perhaps you are not the prize's main target.

Thank goodness. I can get rid of this green turkey, and go back to my red and gold! Yay.

Might turn blue briefly in the middle there, but Davion and Steiner are one big happy family again Posted Image

Cool, the last two events have been really fun and but for a couple minor things this one can be as well:
  • Allow either side to receive the planet tag if they have the capture bar pegged and not just the attackers or we will see badly unbalanced sides and poor wait times.
  • I like the occasional Conquest or Incursion thrown in the mix, but please don't force us to suffer through 48 hours of facing and participating in friggin crab / assassin rushes. Double up on Dom or Skirmish.

Its going to be a scenario based. Reason why Clan Wolf had no tags made is because of the scenario setup they used. It was like how it was back in Phase 1/2 however; Defenders don't get tags on planets anymore. Clan Wolf didn't have a planet they could take in the exchange if they had won. It was the same when it was Kurita vs Davion. Davions were the defenders in that scenario. If Davion had won one of the events which they did not, No tag would be placed.

I cant recall but I think PGI did something about that years ago where people were queueing on none conflicted planets with no enemy team on it and they would just do a drop or 2 ghost or not just to get easy tags. Cant recall if that was the case before the ghost drop became a feature.

Remember that Queue info we had? When we had events like this going on it would make things easier. I was playing in wolf a few times and many of us were forced to switch because we were getting nothing but search wheel online. Went CJF just to get games. No Offense PGI.

I do agree that the base rush crab/assassins is going to be a problem. Normally I wouldn't do it unless the entire group I am with wants to do it. We often try NOT doing it unless were dealing with some group of idiots who decided force our hand. When our hand is forced, its not pretty. If all first options fail and you need to turn it around at that point, Sure go for it. But if a game ends under 5 minutes, Then we have a problem.

I'm wondering too that is the 2nd time for Davion.

That 1 day Steiner between is just giving our Steiner-Loyalist-Unit problems.

Last event we changed to Davion to help our allies, but we had to do 10 probation matches.

Switching for 1 day back to Steiner would result in doing 3 times 10 probation matches...thats too much!

Delete probation matches for event times!

3 Things i would like to mention.

1st, Please, for the love of it, stop it with the flash notification. Can you possible announce events sooner, 1 day in advance is insuficiant.

2nd, The lack of siege mode. I like FP and i like siege mode, might not the the most popular taste but still, not being able to play siegemode thanks to "quickplay with respawn 4.0TM" is already a bummer for me. Seeing the mode effectively gone until the 24th is not acceptable for me, i will probably only play the event objective and start playing "serious" again on the 24th.

3rd, I like events and free stuff, what i like even more ist that you tried to combine it with fluff (which the game is lacking). So please do more fluffy stuff, doesn't have to be rewarded with prizes actually.

I also have mixed feelings regarding the shut down of any clan mechs in fp for a week. It's a minor concern to be honest but i know a couple of people (from FP) who are decked out with clan'mechs and do not posses a single IS mechs (fluff players). Of course, i kown a couple of folks with only IS mechs too. For those people FP is shutting down for a week.
I am aware that the event will probably draw more folks towards FP then it is shutting out. Still, everyone who is getting shut out, even for a week isn't really acceptable, even minor numbers.
