Wow, have you folks learned nothing?, you are killing off FP when you switch it for these "events". Loyal Clanners are NOT going to drop their clan to change factions to play this crap. Listen Closely, if you want to make these "events" do it in another tab, do not supersede normal FP. Also, make it so people can choose which side they want to play for the Event WITHOUT the need to drop out of our current faction!, Your numbers are dropping, everybody knows it, we keep telling you how to correct your "tweaks" and yet you do not listen. You keep crapping on the Clans, nerfing entire weapon classes because of ONE perceived OP mech, etc, etc, etc. One only needs to look at where the game was a year ago (and it's numbers of active players), to where it is now. Yes, I have spent money on this game, but no more, I used the last of my MC to buy Premium time when you had it on sale, and now I am concerned the game will fold before my PT is even used up. We know you are IS fanboys, it shows in everything you do, but just like people who try to define people they disagree with politically as their enemies, it makes no sense to piss off 1/2 of your potential customers. At this rate, in a month or 2, the only thing you will have left for FP is IS vs IS.

I keep looking at the Faction play numbers. 50 Skirmish games. ~25 minutes a game, not including time to find a game. I'm going to be out for a couple days over the time span (because, real life), so I'm realistically looking at over 4 - 5 hours of game time for several days if I want to have a crack of getting everything. With work factored in ... yeah, this ain't happening.

Given the event starts in 9 hours from now, it'd be great if the event conditions were published either in the in-game event browser, or the web event page.

At the moment, both are still showing 'no future events'.

Do you have to bee Kurita or SJ to get the Bonus redeems?

It's unclear. And as there's no event page published yet on the in-game browser or the event website, we can't tell. So I'm unable to set my unit's contract. :/

I understand why you'd like the event designed differently. But I don't understand why you would choose to impose the penalty of 'no event participation' on yourself.

Why not change for a week, then change back? Sure, you will have to do 10 probationary matches, but the rewards you will get from the event will far exceed the cost of the 10 probationary matches.

Plus one.
For me, Scouting is a necessity ( and my preference): Invasiosn are simply unplayable for me on my poor old potato "OOOh nice slideshow"

BUT CAN IT RUN CRYENGINE

Scouting should work, I mean it did for getting most of the things out of the past 3 FP events. The loot bags in this one are just match score too, so yeah it should work.

'Course this is PGI so who knows. It might work at the start, might not work at all, might be added in a few days later, might be removed after a few days...

Guess we'll see in a number of hours.

Was there any lootbags given for purchasing the Vulcan recently?

Did I just miss that event?

Or should the Vulcan be included in this event?

Sounds like a plan... It would be rather nice if they counted for double at both Match Score levels.

Also, your indication of "Invasion (12v12 25 minutes)" should probably read "Invasion ('12x4'v'12x4' 25 minutes)" because of everyone having Drop Decks to use. Otherwise it isn't clear to any newbies who may be tracking this Forum Thread which we're chatting on. Would you agree?

However, we don't even know yet if Scouting will be allowed to count. Unfortunately, if Scouting is left unable to count, then it will likely ruin the Event for anyone who can't go around 'No-Lifeing' it for 50 games worth of 'Invasion-type Skirmish' time. By the way, 50 games worth of time appears to be on the order of 27.8 Hours of in-game time at a far-edged minimum. Heck, potentially, it could be way beyond worse.

Blah... Given the unrest that's already popped up, from a Casual-Class Player's Point-Of-View, I'm looking already at giving this Event a rather dismal rating before it starts. Geez, right now, an Event Review Rating of...

5.0/10

...looks damned appropriate here! I hope I don't have to slam it downward further...

So two questions, are loot bags worth so little that only the destination and not the journey is worth it? And secondly, how many hours do you spend a week on this forum vs playing?
I slack off at work as well. But I seem to find your comments in every thread I read.

[Cyrilis]

Skirmish only?!?

...so long, and thanks for all the fish!

Summer Solstice 2018 Event included 25 bags for Hellfire, Vulcan and Incubus pre-orders.

Most of player base have difficulties to understand winning conditions on most modes, even getting skirmish seems hard on some. Demands for new complex modes are waste of time if you don't invest time and thought to these and old modes.

Lost match during last event because suicide pilot would not listen. Was not happy camper.

[Pain G0D]

I wanna know what the 100th mech is .

[Tier5ForLife]

Loyal Clanners.

All 37 of us?

[Phantom360]

hmm...
my guess for the IS mech would be the Sunder/Hatamoto-chi and the Clan mech will be the Stone rhino.
Both assaults, and both are produced respectively by the DC's and SJs factories.

I like FP and play daily. That being said, there's no way I can see myself dropping 75 matches in 5 days. If I could hit 4 FP matches a Day for 5 days that reasonable (and like 2 hours logged in per day), but 15? With wait times and group organizing delays, that's basically 8 hours a day logged in for FP only.

Does anybody at pgi ever even run the numbers for this?

[Mikayshen]

Seeing the FP requirements makes me glad I have a TSP and the Vapor Eagle ordered. I only need to get 25 bags from FP stuff. Yay for the small things.

Two new mechs? Stone Rhino and Hatamoto?

I mean, it'd make sense if this event has anything to say about it.

Ah, Stone Rhino! It would be fantastic! I would buy it immediately
