Sent you a couple Qs Paul - get back to me when ya can please!

Trying to get the timing spot on as possible to maximise the time we have and people... Pretty sure I can mobilise around 30 peeps, if not more it seems.


I should be able to make anything sat evening (Eu)/sun morning (aus) time onwards.
Do we need to play either two faction or four scouting to get the rewards? Or both?

Edit: just saw it’s 2:45 utc time 5/5. will be 3:45 am here so prob won’t be able to make it

if nobody wants to test it then dont waste resources on trying to make it better the whole gameplay needs to be re -worked into a new player friendly gameplay
fp should be stock mechs only and have mechs unique to there house and a ranking system from private to captain privates pilot lights and captains assault
IS vs. IS and clan vs clan so there wont be any balancing issues and you can have events with IS vs clan

for the few people who still play the way it is now just make it fp-quick play bring what you can fit in your dropdeck

It keeps saying that my drop deck is invalid? It has always been valid before and is within the weight requirements?

Clear BOTH your drop decks

Put IS Mechs into them.

Then it will work. You 100% have Clan mechs in one of your decks.
If it's not that you have an invalid mech (like no engine in it).

Can't be anything else.

Did you follow the directions to get those rewards?

Front page of the original post for the last PTS. The link below has the instructions for the next PTS event which matches the instructions from the last one. Posted Image

either clear an existing dropdeck, or use the mc they give on the pts to buy new dropdecks... that is the only way to do it that I am aware of

Black page for me.
Other account only shows the faction content which came for an invasion pack.

Anybody else unable to queue up because their drop deck is invalid?

Also, it will only let me select clan mechs to create a drop deck, even though I originally had two drop decks with IS mechs. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Clear button. If you just remove your mechs it will only show you clan mechs to put in.

@Paul: Posting the note from Ash's PTS stream chat about the potential bug from the invasion matches.

I was queued Steiner side and missed the first drop, then re-queued when the queue was approx. 8/12 (Steiner / Marik) before the first drop finished. The first drop finished and when the guys from the first drop queued up they jumped me in the queue and I missed the 2nd drop. There were a few other guys in the discord stating the same thing had happened to them.
