Normal Clan Vs IS will probably get turned off if it hasn't been already.

I suppose it may be, but currently I can choose to go to the wedding fight, or normal FP
though I saw the same thing on the other events, on the first day

[DarkFhoenix]

Where is the cake ? The invitation clearly said there would be cake . I dont see any sort of cockpit or decal cake . Is this one of them metaphorical cakes ?

[MischiefSC]

Okay, this even design was excellent. The wedding invite and gift registry and FW event all rolled together.

All due props, it was well done and well considered.

So clan is not currently allowed into any FP by design I take it?

That's my conclusion after clicking about completely lost.

Good games so far.

Counter ECM a Mech and get Locked Damage 1 time

What I have to do for this ?

[Fyer McLaserblasty]

It still surprises me that anybody gives a hoot about any kind of faction play in this game. Hope you all have fun, I'll take this opportunity to catch up on some painting.

Successfully use a lock-on weapon (SSRM, ATM, LRM) against a target that has ECM in disrupt mode. Counter the ECM with TAG, UAV, or your own ECM in counter mode. Might be another way or two (waiting out the slow lock, maybe?), but generally I just TAG some streaks on it and call it done.

Personal Challenges / Scouting Challenge / Earn First Capture. This is clearly intended for Conquest day, 2nd event day.
Sadly on 1st day, assault day, players run lights on 1st drop, go oppo base, get cap and die.
Every single match.
Fun?
Not.

Stop hurting your team.

I tried TAG+LRM, TAG+SSRM, PPC+LRM, ECM in counter mode, BAP, NARC - all this did not work.

[Jonathan8883]

I think it may have to do with other teammates doing damage to someone whose ECM you are countering.

[Maj0r Gl0ry]

Well, the first day is almost at an end. I don't know about the rest of you but I did have fun. Big thing here is communication, communication, Oh and did I happen to mention communication? You won't win if you don't talk.... Happy Hunting

not sure way so many are trying to finish the personal challenge in a few hours, when they have all week.
it is obvious, many are there just for themselves , and not playing as a team effort to win.

I'm enjoying the less wait (search) time to get a match, but not so much whom I need to team with, at least not till more friends I can group up with come online.

now excuse me for a moment, I see a bridesmaid, I can easily take advantage of

Easiest way is to just slap a Beagle Active Probe on one or all of your mechs. Then the reward will just happen on its own, pretty soon. It happens when a teammate does lockon damage to a mech whose ecm you are countering. BAP will counter ecm when they are close, without you having to think about it.

I fully expected to see a slice.of wedding cake on a plate for a cockpit item.

Not sure what you mean. Last FP event was Jade Falcon vs Wolf.

yet the one before and this one completely kick Clans out entierly.... I can't evne do the personal challenges. along with a lot of other things not related to this event.

[Ninjah]

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.

Details are up now...
Hope you like the format... If not leave feedback in this thread

Hi there, Matt... You've got a good format, give-or-take the possible need to make each part of the fighting a tad longer (Like, 36 to 48 Hours per segment... I know I would try to keep the queues populated if you're avoiding putting people through the proverbial 'Pressure Cooker', because I appreciate when things are not made too short!), but I see a big problem hiding in the "Personal Challenges" Event Section. If they're all supposed to be able to get completed at any time, then one of the Challenges has an active issue in it. You'll find it at...

Scouting Challenge > Earn 1 First Capture

...and the problem is that it requires the Conquest Game Mode, preventing it from being done on all but 2 Days of this Event's runtime. Is there any chance we could have that exchanged for something like...

Get 1st sight of 3 Mechs

...or...

Accumulate 10 Intel Collected

...as those would not be restricted by when they can be done, but would still present a Challenge that could take a lot more than just 1 Match to complete? Further, is there any chance that Previous Matches can be parsed as well, in order to account for everyone's effort that has been put into this already? I understand if that counter could not be retroactively updated, but it would really be appreciated if it could be.


If you're looking for a Rating Number from me, then considering between...

• The well-designed Event Format, as you made sure the many of the Challenges are NOT heavily time-restricted (Thanks!!! Seriously, I think this is a really awesome move. Please do this again in the future. It definitely gives more respect to anyone who doesn't happen to be considered a 'Top-Tier Competitive'-type player, unlike the format of the previous "Davion vs. Kurita" and "Jade Falcon vs. Clan Wolf" Faction-based Events.)
  
• A feeling like each part of this Mini-War is too short, given the time it would actually take to battle and travel from world to world (Really, each Zone Of Battle within the scope of the Entire War could use more time. Particularly for all those still somewhat new to Faction Warfare. We don't want to lose them because they didn't get time to understand!)
  
• The above-noted hiccup with the "Scouting Challenge" portion of that Challenge Set

...then I'm thinking I would put up a...

8.7/10

...and look forward to the fixes, be it either in the Current Event, or in Future Events of this kind. This kind of Event definitely has the ability to get even better than it currently is.

(p.s.: In case you're wondering, too many people took advantage of my not being able to post all my thoughts clearly during the last Event. Their toxicity became too much to handle while I was strapped for time, so I was NOT able to provide a Final Review Rating there. Sorry about that, and please disregard the "5.0/10" that I had to leave behind over there! I think I would have bumped up my final result a little for that one anyway.)
