I suspect it's going to be:

- Destroy 30 components
- 10 UAV detections
- Get one first capture in Conquest? (Don't think I've ever seen a resource point objective before)
- 1 Solo Kill
- 2 Hit and Run

I could be wrong, of course, but I think that part of the fun of this one will be guessing what we need to do as well, because the objectives are unclear. So, no explaining from PGI necessary.

No explanation is needed ONLY if we are given proper time with the Event running to actually figure out what each "Mission" Challenge happens to mean. Two Days is honestly NOT enough time to do that properly, while Six Days seems at least moderately reasonable to me. Like I said before, it would not be fun to see the masses posting angrily over cryptic Event Challenges being shoved in their faces.

Sure, let's hope your guesses are right about what those Challenges entail. But, let's have adjustments made by PGI in terms of Available Time for the Worst-Case Scenario of what could happen with an Event like this.

Is the decal award spelled correctly? I have not read the book yet so I am not sure if that is like a singular form of their name or something else.

I want to see actual alien bird people in the game during this event. Really, though if it is their planet and we show up, then we are the aliens.

I suspect Scouting is involved with the first goal.

Hmmm …. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just all a big April Fools joke and there is no real event but if you log in on April 1st to check you get a free fool's war horn or something …. who knows (shrugs)

I want an option to change my MW's hands to look like Tetatae mitts with claws and feathers.

Oh, and PGI, PLEASE allow for other MW/pilot "skins" than 21st C urban camouflage... so terrestrial of you.

<*arrives, only to do a facedesk*>

Whoever in PGI's Staff thought this Event up really needs to explain those Challenges. Either that, or they need to TRIPLE the Available Event Time given to the Player Base and increase it to 6 Days. Why? There are too many things there which are open to misinterpretation on a galactic scale whose likes I haven't seen. That's just not sane by any means, and likely to cause a lot of angry people all too fast who can't figure things out. I would like to never end up seeing all those people posting back how upset that they are, but you can make bank on my words as being what happens if there fails to be enough provided Event Time and/or explanation as to what has to be done.
