AFTERMATH EVENT RESOLUTION

Greetings MechWarriors,

As most of you are aware the Aftermath Loot bag event ended one day earlier than intended.

We sincerely apologize for this and as compensation, we have done the following.

• Extended the Aftermath Quickplay Event until Thursday the 13th 5 PM PDT (Friday 14th 00:00 UTC)
  

You will retain any progress made up to Sunday at 5 PM and you can complete any remaining challenges and earn any remaining loot bags.

Unfortunately, the event system did not record any progress that occurred between 5 PM PDT Sunday the 9th until 10:40 AM PDT Monday the 10th.

As compensation, we have grabbed any match data from QP matches that occurred during that time and have granted bonus loot bags.

• Up to 50 Bonus Loot bags for a match score of 50 or above between 5 PM PDT Sunday the 9th until 10:40 AM PDT Monday the 10th
  
• Up to 25 Bonus Loot bags for a match score of 100 or above between 5 PM PDT Sunday the 9th until 10:40 AM PDT Monday the 10th
  

These are granted on the Bonus Loot Bags tab so you can still earn any remaining loot bags on the QP challenge.

These bonus loot bags will count toward unlocking your pick a prize as well, so be sure to redeem for the Heavy Champion ‘Mech of your choice. Check it out at the LOOT BAG AND PICK A PRIZE PAGE

Again we are sorry for the mix-up and hope you find this solution adequate.

The MechWarrior Online Team!

Perfect, thanks.

[Mikayshen]

Very nice, and good on you for this PGI.

[Pariah Devalis]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[Coffeeghoul]

Thanks a lot!
I couldn't participate on the faction play events, though. Should have played 7 more games today, to get the remaing 14 bags for the free Mech.

[Sengir79]

I mean this is great and all, but this is literally giving EXTRA bags to those who didn't finish the event and those of us who finished the event early get penalised for doing so :/

Yes I understand the event ended earlier than it should and players didn't finish but they now have the chance to finish the event over the next few days.

So what happens to those of us who actually got everything done???

Understand i'm not trying to be greedy here but it's possible that some players may have a full 75 extra bags, which is a lot considering what is in them AND they have the opportunity to earn the rest of the bags as well. One or the other would be sufficient, not both.

ROFL, indeed. It's kinda... helpful but not really, so to say.

Have you checked your loot bag page? I had finished the event and I received bonus bags for games played on Sunday.

Same here, can't say that I'm upset and getting extra goodies for just playing the game like I normally would. Was a nice surprise.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I prefer Faction Play whenever possible, so I I didn't play any QP last night, instead playing a few hours of FP. I'd probably have done QP instead if I knew I'd get more loot bags for it, but meh, it's probably 300 MC or so and maybe a warhorn or two. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying.

[Master Smitty]

I have the TSP pack and even with some FP bags an all the QP bags, I can't get the free mech. Which I bet, is the case for a lot of people. I guess if I had played more on Sunday I would have gotten enough BONUS bags to get it. But, I'm happy to see a lot of those that were in the same position as I am, will now be able to get the free mech.

[BrunoSSace]

Don't care about the free mech, have way to many mechs as it is atm. But glade I can finish some of these missions done, since I was not home on the weekend. Thx pgi.

Yup. PGI should just make it possible to get the remainder of bonus bags by playing QP until the event's over. This would also cover players who were unable to get in on the FP part of the event (or didn't complete it because they didn't know about scoutng)

[Buenaventura]

Had it finished sometime yesterday, but nice to hear the extension worked and some more can get their free mech.

(And thanks for the Grasshopper recommendations, plays quite nicely with 2LPL+5ERML.)
