I think this event is too grindy and because of that people frequently dc in pugs after the initial drop, I guess because the have secured 50 point and don't want to put up with a 30 minute loss for the funsies. Yes, I report them, but this should be eliminated by design. Events should encourage gameplay and not spoil it.

Twice I had 3 dcs in losses and several 2dcs. And I think this issue will get worse once everybody has their 25 100 point bags. Also, I have never seen so many early deaths because ... lets be done with it?

Please design better events. It was already obvious by the extension of the timeframe that not enough thought has gone into the event setup.

Only if someone doesn't know they can grind the loot bags out in Scouting. All you need is a single medium mech and a typical match takes 5-10 minutes.

Last I've checked, the event system did not recognize matches where you DC'd and did not reconnect for more than two minutes (and did not award C-Bills or XP for it). The loot bag awards shouldn't do that either, if they do then it absolutely must be fixed.

Then they should state that on https://mwomercs.com...?t=201808turtle

That does not sound like scouting.

Scouting matches are a lot more fun than spending 30 minutes at a time with wannabe snipers who won't leave their drop zones to fight. You have to fight to get your points.

Unless you have a full team of clanners that hides on top of the rock in forest colony and refuses to fight you.

Guys it's been tested scouting does work for these modes and has for some time. And no it does not need to be stated that scouting only takes 5 to 10 minutes it should be obvious. And finally people have never ever got rewards if they don't participate the entire match. DC's do not count towards any of the event Rewards.

I've had connection issues yesterday and got disconnected several times, i got like 1,1k damage and well above 100 matchscore.
If you disconnect for too long you won't get any lootbags.

If they're on defense, send them your disrespect and go collect. They'll have to get down or lose.
If they're on attack, you camp right below the ridge and they'll have to get down or lose when the dropship leaves without them.

"I had this much damage so everything is great". I also hear that from a player after our team loses 12-6.


Considering all the bad games I've seen, it would be hard to say.

You know, you can fill two scouting decks by default and edit those ie select a proper mech during the map countdown chatty screen. Some people don't know what the small round button near the deck selection menu does, it seems.

My two IS decks are HotWacker (missiles) and ColdWacker (lb10s), with Wolverine, Assassin and Vulcan as backup choices for chasing and jumping scenarios.

Same for Clans: Huntsman main, Arctic Cheetah, Shadow Cat and Nova as backup variants.

When you see the jump-camping map, just take a Griffin/Shadow Hawk/Wolverine/Assassin and punch the campers hard.

Finished the Scouting event (50 100 match score games) twice, I hope I dont have an event encouraging me to do scouting faction play again for at least another 3 months.

You should join the CRB-27 master race.... 2 AMS, 5 MPL, 90 KPH speed. Fast enough to keep up with clan mediums, enough durability to outlast them, and enough punch to kill them. God help you if you try to use streaks on it.

Go for it. You'll find the cheese is equally funzies on both sides as bushies and crabs roll damage like it's nobody's business and erl ecm cicadas kite you just out of range on open maps.
