@Fragtastic: Phase one grants a maximum of 150 bags, phase 2 a maximum of 100 more = 250 without bonuses and able to get both pick a prize prizes as they require 200 and 250 total. Those who have both Corsair pre-order and TSP can reach 300 total.

Your math is off. You can reach the 250 without any bonuses.

Don't forget the 25 loot bag picks from the 27th December gift.

Oh, nice. I had bought Solaris and MC but I didn't go for the Corsair. So, I thought I couldn't qualify for the Pick A Prize. Looking forward to it now. Thank you.

Have to say, this is nice. Four loot bags per game starting the 25th. Well done.

[FRAGTAST1C]

Where do I collect the loot bags again? The event page says that I have 22 but I don't know where to go to get them.

How exactly do the match points work? Using the phase 1 as an example, it says: "Earn 1 Loot bag for every 50 Match score (up to 75) Earn 1 loot bag per 100 Match score (up to 75)"

Does that mean if I get a match score of 100 I get 2 bags,ie: two 50 point bags? or do I get one bag, ie: One 100 point bag. Oooor.. do I get 2 bags, One for 50 and another for reaching 100?

Last example, If I get a score of 200 could I get 4 bags? Four 50 point bags?

The first 75 loot bags , you can earn two at a time if your score is 100 or more . 1 for 50 and 1 for 100

The next 75 is a grind , one loot bag per match for 100 score .

First 75 games is 150 redeems. You only need another 50 games during the phase 2 for 100 more redeems. 250 is max without bonus redeems.

Ideally you should play 25 games now (50 redeems total, 2 for each game) and another 50 during the phase 2 (200 total, 4 per game) so "only" 75 games for all of the 250 loot bags.

Oh, I completely missed that. Thank you.

[FRAGTAST1C]

I had 988 MC before. I got 40+40+50 MC from Loot Bags. It hasn't reflected in my total MC count. Is there something else I should do for that?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

there may be a little delay. Check your credits: https://mwomercs.com/profile/credits

Does it make more sense to hold off for the 24th -2nd window? Looks like four loot bags per match that way, if your games are solid. What am I missing, those folks saying get 50 now, before the 24th?

Well, what you have, you have. I wouldn't stress too much about it. If you want to manage several accounts, you might spread out a bit.

To anyone and everyone currently tracking this thread ---

Please do NOT forget that the Advent Daily Challenge Set is still running, with each Challenge having a 48-Hour 96-Hour (4 Days) Runtime attached. If you avoid playing right now in order to combine Qualifying Matches, you're going to miss out on a whole bunch of the Challenge Rewards. That would not be a wise decision, as there are some things which the Stocking Stuffer Loot Bags happen to not give out.

Plus, to top it... If you're not in the Queues, then who the heck will I have to play against when I'm trying to keep them loaded with people? Just dive in and play it casual, alright? You don't have to worry about being monstrously efficient. This is the End-Of-Year Holidays, so relax and have fun with your fellow MechWarriors here!

Oi, Dev, you're gettin' lax. It's 96-hr-windows for the daylies.

Dang, you're right! I think that I was trying to say "4-Day Runtime", but I definitely messed up thanks to this cold that I'm currently down with. I'll go fix that right now.

EDIT :: Done!

It certainly does. I got 22 so far and then realized that I could get more but... I say now, just play the game and don't worry about loot bags too much. You'll get 250 in the end anyway. The requirements are very lenient.
