I'm gonna pick the cataphract. its the only mech in the list i don't have even if its no good, it'll add to my stable of stuff i don't use.

As for the event, enjoyed it immensely, cashed in on both sides, seen some terrible players and some great players and it all balanced out. Wasn't going to play this game for a couple of months but got drawn back in by this sort of FP event.

DO YOU MEAN HOW UNBALANCED IT IS WHEN YOU MIX PREMADES AND SOLOS? OR JUST HOW UNBALNCED THE GAMEPLAY REALLY IS?

Well, event done. Twice (2 accounts) if i see another event that encourages me to do scouting in the next 3 months ill probably have an annuerism.

Why is the prize only hvy mech champions? No love for other weight classes?

[BumbaCLot]

Kind of wish scouting didn't count. Played only 3 12 mans last night, 6 the night before that and maybe 8-9 Friday. Everyone was just grinding bags and I was done Sunday morning, so I just helped my unit mates get their 100-200 damage early on, and then last night we ran 4 man Piranha squads legging the crap out of bushies. Didn't have nearly as good of luck with the ACW or SCRs (still won a few) but the feeding frenzy was the most fun. And to the guys who didn't hit 50 MS vs us, hope you got it the next match!

Am I reading this correct,
I can only earn up to 75 loot bags in faction ?
if so guess I'm not getting a free mech ,
I can't handle more then a couple matches in Quick Play, I mean I will try, but damn, not enough blood pressure pills

Posting about it on the forums is not the correct way to report nonparticipation.

Damn you guys did some low damage for a 48 kill game. The enemy team must have been REALLY bad, just standing in the open presenting you their backsides so you can kill them with minimal damage levels of bad. That's impressive.

Faction play gives you less stress ?

correct, unless I'm on a alt, solo dropping, but still less

Faction play is super chill if you're dropping with a team that knows what they're doing. I generally drop with people who know how to play this game, in a group of 6-12 depending on who's on. We normally don't even bother calling strats or what mech to bring, everyone in the group is expected to know what to do for the map / mode, and everyone pulls their weight. I think I'm 78-2 right now as a Smoke Jaguar. It's pretty stress free, though some games can be quite fun. Had a very good match vs KCOM earlier tonight, ended up 37-37 on river city. We'd have been able to pull out a win, but one of our random guys refused to get with the program and suicided into the enemy twice, giving them the kills they needed to tie. It's stressful when you have morons on your team, so reducing that likelihood really helps.

[Ninjah]

Believe it or not it's true. Generally top players don't bother with QP unless they want to skill up something and that's rare too cause they still have caches of everything from the module refund. Hell, I could fully skill up 87 mechs with Skill Points I have right now, not to mention 1.100.000 GXP and 110.000.000 cbills. So why would I bother with ******** QP matches where people bring unskilled stuff, horrible loadouts, play without any tactics etc. It's much more fun to group up with 4-6 friends and pick up more along the way till we have a 12-man group in which everyone knows what works, what to do, etc. Even tho we're all on TS sometimes nobody says anything for 10 minutes cause there is no need - command wheel gets everything done. What I love about it is: no blocking when noobs block your retreat. No friendly fire. No lurm boats on maps with lots of cover. People actually push like crazy. Doing fun stuff like dropping 12 ER PPC boats on Vitric Forge lol. And much more. MWO is a team game and it's much more enjoyable with friends. Playing it solo = salt mine.

EDIT:

Here's how it looks like when you're in a good group vs pugs. Compare THIS to QP and you'll see what I mean

It's the only way I like to play these days. There's more strategic/tactical gameplay, you can play with friends who are also skilled pilots, there are fewer teeth-grindingly potatoish/selfish players to carry, teams push together instead of hiding or blocking, and sometimes you get great matches against equally- or better-skilled opponents.

Last month I did 300 matches, only 3 of them QP... and I only did those 3 because I accidentally joined a QP group and wanted to be polite

[Vellron2005]

At this point, I've blown my whole weekend on Faction Play and have gotten up to 55 lootbags.. all done with the "double your money for your trouble" free lootbags that come with 50+ matchscore, and I have no bloody idea how I'm gonna squeeze in another 20 matches by the end of the event..

That's at the least 10 hours of gameplay.. and I have a life you know..

Plus, I have family issues I gotta take care of..

So please PGI, can you extend, or lower the cap for the mech? (but still allow lootboxes up to 150)
