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)

Do 20 scout drops. They take 5 minutes each, you can bang that out in 2 hours if it's worth it to you.

[Zephrym]

You'll also be able to earn lootbags from the quick play section of the event (starting tomorrow iirc).

I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow just to see FP players jump into QP and get paired with tier 5. Salt fireworks incoming ^^

It's really easy to run a 55 tonner in scouting and just shoot as much as possible with override on to get 100 damage win or lose.

Did you not get all of the 100+ match score already? If you were running 12v12 and didn't...

TSP counts for 25 bags towards your free mech. It also pays 250K for every event goal that you complete when you have the TSP active. I've got 7.5 million from the wedding event alone.

Next time do the grind in Scouting. I've finished 100% there in a day and a half and now casually play Invasion.

Faction play gives you less stress ?

Loooool yes, FP is less stress. QP is so fantastically unbalanced. One has to carry so damn hard in QP to even win. It were 8v8, it'd be much better and balanced.

[Xaat Xuun]

another thought, guess I could just purchase 3 of the 4 mech packages, that add 25 loot bags, then avoid QP all together

if only I had the $ to do so . . if Only

Tournament Support Pack costs $10 and counts for 25 already. Just saying.

You sure about that ? FW is usually a ghost town without an Event offering lootbags in QP .

[Ninjah]

It'll be a ghost town for a day or two until people get QP lootbags. Then back to business as usual.

There should be no reason that you can't. do you get any errors when trying to join smoke jagy or drop as smoke jagy?

No errors what so ever i'm trying to Drop with or as smoke jag. the option is greyed out, it's been like this the whole event, there are times in the inner sphere map selection where i click on "FIGHT" and the smoke jag option is greyed out usually this fixes itself sometimes but today especially, it stays greyed out.

You don't appear to have a Contract at the moment. Have you tried to get one?

Hmm... That's only very likely because you're a Freelancer that waited for Call-To-Arms Notifications. That's usually the only way someone without a Contract can get into Faction Warfare.

Unfortunately, if you want to get in on your own, you MUST either be...

• a Mercenary with a Contract (be it either a Normal Contract or a Loyalty Pledge)
  
• a Career-Set Loyalist with a Pledge Status to a Faction
  
• Grouped up with someone who has a Contract while you're a Freelancer
  
• provided a Call-To-Arms Notification

...so you'll need to go Group up, or get a Contract, in order to dive in and get around the problem that you're having. If you've been able to access it in any other way, then you've likely been exploiting a BUG which needs to be reported to PGI immediately so they can fix it.
