I've just been waiting to see confirmation about the mech packs - are we actually getting two mech packs tomorrow? Seems a little unusual.

it seems scouting doesnt count, AND WE JUST HAD A CRAZY HEAT rate on Caustic some new bug ????

Scouting does count, you just have to do the event scouting, not regular scouting. I'm up to 5 of each bags now.

yeah my bad i queued in the normal queue when event started not the specific factions event.

[0IOIIIIOlll00I00O00lOl0O0OI00I]

Anyone have problems redeeming the pattern? In game it says I met all the requirements for CSJ kill/KMDD 38/25. On the website it first showed the same KMDD count and allowed me to pick a pattern, but when I redeem it says I'm ineligible, then the counter goes down to 0/25.

[Cato Zilks]

had the same problem.

(edit: tried again when I was not in a match and it worked for me)

Does PDT still mean "Pacific Daylight Time" as in the current time found in the province of British Columbia???
There should only be 3 hours difference between Ontario and BC.
Everytime I quietly/privately bring this time broken with support saying its at my end because their servers/pages work perfectly for them...

Well its after 12pm EST (Ontario time) Aug 31st and I've been playing +4 hours since at least 8pm EST.
Still no QP matches "eligible" showing when I'm getting match scores over 50 much less 100!!

FYI MY event page currently says: "Time Left: 10 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes, and 0 seconds"
Plus the timestamp of this post to confirm.


Well good thing I got 75 bags from previous purchases or I'd have 0 lootbags from event for the lols.
So far I've 0 incentive to keep playing today, I couldn't bother even logging in during the 2 week long non-scouting "FP" event so guess I'm out of this event and MWO for another week yet again bye.

[Rodrigo Martinez]

When I switch side the KMDD counter resets?

[CrustyMech]

Is there an issue with QP matches not registering? I have done a few that should have counted according to criteria but nothing showing - faction matches work fine though.

...a whole bunch of new info has come to light! Put simply...

• Scouting DOES count. This negates a good chunk of the Grinding Issues that I was coming down hard on PGI about. A good thing, too.
  
• Skirmish isn't the only mode that will count toward the Event, therefore. Good thing we have an alternative for those without much time, as well as those who morbidly hate an objectiveless grind.
  
• Old computers that can only do Scouting are therefore also NOT out of luck. Time for those MechWarriors with weak systems to get in there and battle!

...but there is also an issue that I have noticed...

• Rumors by some of Heat Issues beyond normal Mech design and play

...which shouldn't be happening at all. Frankly, this rumor is not going to affect my Event Rating as I've not personally confirmed it, but the two positive items will however cause a boost. Event Review Rating is now...

4.3/10

...and more updates are likely to come if I discover anything else. Frankly, unless PGI fixes a lot of other issues or I find they're not so nasty, then this Rating isn't very likely to get any higher.

Anyone else having trouble redeeming the camo?

Hello, you two... You need to go check the Event Page for the Quick Play Section at...

--->>> https://mwomercs.com/events/172

...as it so happens that the Quick Play Section has NOT started yet. The other timer on the Tournament Page is an Overall Event Timer which encompasses both Sections, Faction Warfare & Quick Play alike. You'll have to play through the Current Section, and get into Quick Play when that actually begins, as your efforts there will count after that point.

Alright... With the details up, I've finally had a look. My worst fears have been confirmed. In addition to my response to another person at...

--->>> https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/268669-turtle-bay-aftermath/page__view__findpost__p__6157339

...there is now further reason to slam the Event Rating. It is now down to...

3.5/10

...because in addition to the previous 10 Bullet Points, we also have of note...

• PGI has lied, and rather coldly, about the available Time Frames. The website's News posting says "Aug. 31 @ 0:00 UTC to Sept. 7 @ 0:00 UTC" for the Faction Warfare section, which is a total time of 7 Days. The item on the In-Game Event Browser is only providing 6 Days right now for the Faction stuff. The part for Quick Play says "Sept. 6 @ 0:00 UTC to Sept. 11 @ 0:00 UTC", which is a total time of 5 Days. But again, the In-Game Event Browser is only showing 4 Days for the Quick Play part. Where we should have had 12 Days in total, we are only being given 10 Days. This is downright underhanded and cruel, and therefore will NOT be overlooked. If they want to fix it, they need to adjust BOTH Event Run Times upward to the original promised values. It would also help if the adjustments maintained the avoidance of overlap between the Event Phases.
  
• PGI is also asking for 25 Kill and/or KMDD within a 4-Day Time Frame on the Quick Play part, where 5 days had been shown on the News Article as a promised Run Time. Being as people are likely to be burned out from the Faction Warfare part of this Event, this is once again asking for too much in too short a Time Frame. The available Quick Play Time Frame NEEDS to be lengthened. (I'm starting to get the feeling here that somebody at PGI has lost their mental sense of 'realistic expectations'...)
  
• PGI is unrealistically expecting someone to manage 500 Match Score in Quick Play, after making them feel burned out by the Faction Warfare part. Look, 400 Match Score in Quick Play is more reasonable, particularly after running someone through the grinder too many times in Faction Warfare. Stressing players out worse over a chunk of (C-Bills) is rather unnecessary overkill. Maybe some can still do 500 M.S., but not enough of the Player Base to warrant that level of Difficulty and exclude tons of people. To PGI, I ask you to turn down the needed Match Score for that before many of the Player Base can get disillusioned with MWO. The abuse of the Player Base is NOT funny.
  
• The available Rewards from Random Loot Bags have once again come up dry on Hanging Cockpit Items. There are people out there who would really like to be able to earn these from Events more, myself included. PGI, if you want to fix this, just pick out 6 Hanging Cockpit Items... Even some that you've done before will do, but please don't leave your Player Base to get disillusioned through the lack of these. Also make sure the chances to get them are tuned high enough, as I've noticed from Previous Events that it always seems like the chances to get Hanging Cockpit Items were unusually low.

...and now I need to travel onward to the Event, which is now about 5 minutes in. Frankly however, my hopes for this Event improving are hellishly low, and I'm in danger of just tossing my hands into the air and giving up. If PGI wants to have people in the queues, leaving them to feel like giving up is counterproductive to that.

2.5/10 . Despite pretenses to the contrary - and some precedent to it - the event isn't an all-participation one with specific rewards locked to Jag and Kurita pilots, it's entirely locked to Jag and Kurita pilots instead.

Sorry, didn't mean to be obtuse. I saw on the event tracking page that the QP portion of the event starts next week. I was merely pointing out to PGI that they have managed to confuse a senior citizen .

[FrontlineAssembly]

So in the 3 matches I have had tonight. One on each Caustic, Boreal Vault, and Grim Plexus. had huge issues with heat. and disipation is super slow. And someone on here said it was only clan, but the first match I had it in on Caustic. It hit both sides. Never saw so many Assisins blow themselves up.

I little bit doubt that too, it takes time to make whole new packs and then how does the sale of one not limit the sale of another.

Could be single hero mechs.
