The description says "every 100" right?

So I just checked after 2 matches of 300 and 400, expecting 7 lootbags.

But I got 2...

Either the event description is faulty where you have to meet the minimum of 100 OR it's flat out not counting right.

Can someone look into this?

(cause, next phase is 125 FP matches. It's far different between 500 match score per drop = 25 drops vs 125 drops, considering they are 30 min a piece)

Every >=100 MS match, you should know this from the past two years...

Lootbag events have always been minimum match score. 2 bags every 100+ms up to 25, then 1 per match.
Dont see anything about phase 2 being FP.

[Nightbird]

Phase 2 is all modes, but FP scouting is probably the fastest way to do them if you're short on time. Do 200 damage with SRMs or streaks.

No, because it's phrased differently this year. Come on Nightbird, joining EMP inhibit your ability to read?

"Earn 1 loot bag per 100 Match score (up to 100)"

What does that say? PER 100 MATCH SCORE earn 1 loot bag. It's not phrased this way in the past. So I am going by description. And by literal English, what does that say?

[Nightbird]

I'm EVIL, not EMP, and keep nitpicking then Pretty easy to get 1500+ MS in FP, would finish the event kinda quick.

Which is great, whatever unit you joined Superstar, but you haven't answer me this. What does that line say?

Look, I know how past events are run. God know how much of them I've done from the St Patrick Day Clover to Halloween, to Christmas and whatever. But if it's minimum, they've always been clear about saying "achieve minimum of 100 match score to earn loot bag"

They never phrased it as "PER 100 MATCH SCORE"

So either someone f-ed up the description, and I think they should honor it. OR maybe there really is a bug. Because, it's hard for people working full time to do 300 drops in just 2 weeks. 25 drops in 7 days? A LOT more do-able.

I think you're nitpicking, when PGI wants to do cumulative stuff, they put it in the counter.

It would be:

Earn 10,000 match score 0/10,000

let's say what you say is true. then it doesn't make sense for the phrasing of the first line
"Earn 1 Loot bag for every 50 Match score (up to 25)"

Because why would that be interpreted as 2 per match up to 100? Either way, my beef is not with you. I am just saying, whoever wrote this either wrote it wrong or maybe there's an actual game bug.

Either the case, like this is for players' benefit, I don't get why you guys are fighting me on this

200 drops, and if you play less you still get the grab bags you've earned. If you just want the free mech and not the camo, just 150 matches. Scout for quick 4 minute matches, QP is usually 8 mins.

Oh and if you're willing to do 6 RL20 Jihad Javelins, you can finish a QP match in 2 mins. Just find an assault and dump all the missiles into him.
