zero interest in chasing the solaris one.

Cause lrms don't work in the area?

[Peace2U]

I have to throw my hat in the ring on this one.
It appears to be impossible to get into the 2V2 solaris match for this event.
Seems to be designed to reward only players who are already involved with and existing group.
If anyone figures out how a single player can achieve this goal/prize for the winter soldier event, please let us know.
Peace

Ask in faction and/or your loyalist faction chat. That's how I got mine.

[Tenatius B]

I've been running drops in both Solaris and Faction Warfare and I can't for the life of me find a group for doubles, or getting a scouting mission where I'm on the offense. Frustrating for sure. Otherwise I love the event, and those like them.

[SoccerMomsAtNight]

For the faction play, it keeps resetting my progress. I'll do a scouting mission to get the intel and that part will show up as being complete. Then I'll do an invasion game to complete the damage, but afterwards it resets the intel back to 0. Then I will do another scouting mission but afterwards it resets the damage and/or match score. Anyone else having this problem? It's happened twice to me now.

Edit: 3rd time's the charm. It finally worked.

I never had any trouble finding a random buddy to join up in a Solaris duo . There is lots of people who already did the event but have no problem joining up again .

Ask if anyone is interested on faction chat . Heck someone already asked most probably , you just have to take em up on their offer .

In Scouting Collect Intel once

I collected a few times, but I have 0% in this task...what happened?

Correct, you have to be on the collect intel side AND successfully extract.

This means you have to be on a "Gather Intel" mission.

[ERescue]

@Lexandro Wolf: As far as I can tell by the 15+ failures I had yesterday before succeeding, the requirement is to pick up at least 1 intel during a match in which you play as attacker and someone from your team has to make it to the dropship alive. In other words, you have to win.

And you have collected at least 1 Intl - YOU not the team.

I would like to know, as well. PGI went and failed hard by not allowing usage of the LFG system when you have Solaris Mode selected during Group Creation plus want to directly reveal that to anyone who might choose to enter.

[Buenaventura]

Got the 2 actually realistic parts done.
Even if Solaris isn't deserted, I don't have a group.
And as long as tonnage is used for balancing teams in FP, there is no balance. Hint for PGI: With different tech bases, tonnage means nothing. One of the selected event criteria being as awful as this "collect intel" is just icing on the cake.

2v2 in solaris is impossible for me to do ....just chiming in....thx

[Aidan Crenshaw]

It must be lonely out there. I was able to complete every task in no time. Twice.

same here. did several fw-games and won the correct scouting several times. today I log in and want to redeem that stuff, only everything is reset to 0. not a biggie, still annoying as f*ck.
this happened several times in several events before. pgi: counting is not that hard... pls get it right

[Aidan Crenshaw]

did your unit change alignment in between?

[Lawrence Frans]

still working on that collect, and still getting protect and not gather

ETA:
finally got a Gather. I had stopped counting protects after 12, seems it was after ever 8 Protects, I got a gather, think I was close or just over 20 protects and only 3 gathers
damn that was getting frustrating , Protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect protect

Well, everyone.......... I've hit an Event that I've no way in heaven/hell/limbo/etc. of completing.

Solaris MatchMaking is so bad that nobody wants to touch it.

If you do get a Match, the MatchMaker basically sets you up to be pugstomped.

There's NO available LFG functions if you're pre-readying in Solaris Mode for 2v2... That forces you to have to HIDE the fact that you want to go Solaris Mode until after you've collected a groupmate, all only in order to attempt to work around such an ugly restriction.

To deck it all off, the only time I heard from someone that they could get Solaris Mode Matches, it was during the weekend at a time when I can no longer be on in 99.99999% of cases. This last weekend was not an exception to that damned 'rule of the universe' which I have no control over, same as basically all of my weekends.

So, that's it. I'm totally screwed. See you all in a Future Event, provided I don't blow a mental gasket and end up in an Insane Asylum somewhere.
