I was wondering why there was a sudden injection of extra stupid in QP now I know.

You think QP is bad? Try the Group Queue. The problem is NOT the Events. It's the people who won't work together as a TEAM that are making the Events look bad. *facedesk*

I think I'm gonna go deal with the damned LRM PTS V2.1 thread. I've discovered a hidden Bug that's affecting even the Live Servers, and is why some people think a certain weapon is OP when it really isn't. Somebody seems to have not written the code for handling multiple missile launchers correctly, and it has propagated in a bad way.

Really? Explain. I hadn't noticed, so I'm curious to know what you're seeing on the live servers.

PGI: you seem to have gone to great trouble to make the MC reward heroes match pre-existing 'mech packs, and you did a great job! Except you got the Wolfhound and the Panther backwards.... You put the Wolfhound in the Resistance I pack when it came in Resistance II, and vice versa for the Panther.

Oh god... when is the barrage of events going to end?

I'll put a link to it here after I'm done writing that post. Not to be cold, but the discussion is not for this thread.


On other On-Topic notes, I just noticed that Solaris is a requirement for completing part of this Event. That makes me a tad angry, as I really hate to leave a hole in my efforts, but Solaris just turns me off. It's likely because 1v1 dueling is just not something I can handle, or even more likely that the Solaris MatchMaker has been actively trashing me so hard when starting from an unrated status that I just don't have the will to try anymore. Either way, getting wrongfully put against someone whose loadout and skills for 1v1 are astronomically higher than mine, which gets me bashed to a pulp repeatedly, is enough to keep me from wanting to even try anymore.


Also, this Event is looking to be far from stress-free and easy. I'm running into people who tell me Non-Constructively to (and I quote) "Shut Up", all while I'm trying to alert them that the Enemy Team is coming right up our back sides, I'm being torn to bits, and that they need to come back to help or we're all dead. Well, they don't listen, we all die & lose, the Enemy Team wins, and I've eaten another undeserved death on my permanent record, which really kills the fun for me. I would sure like to know why there are not more people standing up against those kind of jerks, so we can have a better Community overall for everyone. While Matt Newman has posted up another good Event that appears to have proper time allocated, it's the Community ruining it again

Extra stupid has been the new normal for oh...18 months now at least. Events have nothing to do with it.

[Shenys]

If you buy an MC package, do you get both of the mechs, or get to choose one? And I'm not understanding how the Phase 1 and 2 work, the event page seems to cover the same time span as both phases together.

^^ This. If I buy the $30 MC pack, do I get the Shadow Cat and the Ghillie? Or do I have to choose between the Clan and the IS option somehow?

Actually, I guess I'll be a guinea pig. So far, I've been impressed with PGI's customer service (should anything go wrong).

Edit: Okay, FWI, not quite two hours after I bought the $29.95 package, my account was given the Shadow Cat hero and a mech bay. Note, it's not the 14th yet. I suppose I probably won't get the Ghillie, but I'll let you know if I do.

[Shenys]

Haha I just came on to say I'll let you know in 20 minutes. Apparently they inject faction content on the hour.

So much for being F2P ( I don't mean this game, I mean my will power.)

Doh. I think I just figured out the answer to both. The content are listed under different phases, so I assume if you buy during phase 1, you get the Clan mech. I hope I'm wrong, and you just get the second mech during phase 2.

Edited by Shenys, 13 February 2019 - 06:45 PM.

[Renzor the Red]

What's that mean? Did you make the purchase? I bought an MC package 30 minutes ago, but haven't seen any new mechs yet.

Look at the dates. Feb 14 to 17 you get one, 18 to 20 you get the other

[Shenys]

It looks like for content like this, they add it every hour, on the hour. Next time will be 7:00 pm. If you look at the times listed for the bonus content though, the Clan content correlates to Phase 1, and IS to Phase 2. So, best case scenario is that we get the Clan mech in 10 minutes, and the IS when Phase 2 starts. What I assume it means though, is that you get whatever mech corresponds to whatever time period you purchased the MC in.

That's confusing. So that means that if I just bought the $29.95 package (I just did), then I'll get the Shadow Cat delivered tomorrow and the Ghillie the day after that?

I think Sunday. If you get both. But I have a feeling it's only one mech corresponding to the Phase we're currently in. We're in Phase 1 right now, so Clan mechs. We'll know by Sunday for sure!

but a little further down is says:

Sunday, Feb 17th 00:00 AM UTC

Soooo, when does this actually start?

Both say Feb 14 00:00 UTC. What's confusing? Feb 14 00:00 UTC is the same as Feb 13 4PM PDT

No it means if you buy 14th to 17th, you get Shadow Cat. 17th to 20th, you get Ghillie. Not both

I think all of these events are awesome. I hope they keep going back to back. Getting all of the cosmetic items, a million c-bills here and there, and free MC is great, and it encourages us to try different tactics and styles.
