Hey Mate, there are heaps of teams out there that just treat it like quick play groups with killer rewards. If you got time join a unit and have some fun, we love to build all our comps around the many types of skillsets and mindsets.

Good luck man have some fun

About freaking time...Thanks Guys.

Drop decks sale is coming.
Waiting for a decent faction play whoop dee doo. (technical term for big event)

While the event is appreciated, but the Challenges for Teamwork (Level 1, Level 1 and Level 1): Comp&Conquest do not mix all that well with "Lance in formation"; do they?

edit: Almost sure that we have to destroy 250 missiles, not 250 AMS ;-)

There is always something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Destroy 250 AMS? I think "".. missiles with..." is missing. Also Teamwork is all '1".

Also, comp play questions:
What does this timer mean, some stage or season? We'll be able to play after timer expires? Does it reset team registration?


I was also having some questions about the mode, i think i found my answers, i'll stick a patch notes quote under the spoiler. I hope they are not obsolete

All Competitive Play matches currently operate under the following structure:

• 8 vs. 8
• 2/2/2/2 Weight Class distribution required for each Team (each Team must have 2 of each Weight Class).
• No additional Tonnage requirements or restrictions are in place.
• Matches are Conquest Mode only.

Other important rules and structure notes for Competitive Play:

• Team Rosters are limited to a maximum of 12 members.
• To participate in Competitive Play, Teams must be comprised of at least 8 members.
• Teams must have at least 7 Primary Members (aside from the Captain), and can have no more than 4 Alternate Members. The Captain counts as a Primary.
• Teams within the Competitive Launch Queue are automatically matched as best as possible according to their Team Elo.
• The Map used for the match is determined through a Map Banning system outlined in the Map Banning section of these notes.
• The Regional server used for the match is determined according to a system outlined in the 'Creating a Competitive Team > Choosing a Region' section of these notes.
• Teams are ranked on the global Competitive Leaderboard by an uncapped Team Score Ranking, outlined in the Competitive Ranking System of these notes.


In order to be eligible for use in Competitive Play matches a 'Mech must be available for purchase in-game with C-Bills.

• Hero 'Mechs, Champion 'Mechs (and Trials), and other Special variants are not eligible for use in Competitive Play.
• Standard 'Mechs that have not yet been released for direct purchase with C-Bills in-game are not eligible for use in Competitive Play.
• OmniMechs that are using an OmniPod from a variant not available for purchase with C-Bills are not eligible for use in Competitive Play.

Never played the mode, nor should had i, but 300 MC for just a participation look tempting.
UPD: Ah poo, not only participation, but also a win and 2kmdd.

How does one destroy 250 AMS?

You shoot the mechs carrying them.

I've shot down ~4000 missiles in a single match, so destroying a measly 250 missiles wouldn't have been much of a challenge.

Comp Q is only open for 24 hours on Thursday and Saturdays
Rules - http://bit.ly/MWCS-19

and Quick Ref Guild

[Matt Newman]

HERE IS THE COMP SCHEDULE:

Thursday 1 am PST (8 am UTC) to Friday 1 am PST (8 am UTC)

Saturday 1 am PST (8 am UTC) to Sunday 1 am PST (8 am UTC)

The reason we have a limited time comp schedule is to maximize the # players in the comp Queue.

2019 year - year of faction play (c) Zero faction play events from autumn 2018. But now we have competive mode event. Lol.

Yep.

And not even the 'easy low effort fixes' that we provided as requested - eg. increasing the tickets in Conquest, or increasing base health in Incursion - have been implemented.

It's beyond "disappointing".

[Valdarion Silarius]

I'd love to join competitive, but I don't have a team to join so this is kind of a waste of an event for me. I mean, I'll join a comp team just for a chance to get into the top 500 since those rewards are rather generous just for being in the top 500. If anyone out there wants to group up for a last minute team I'm down. I might have a friend willing to join as well if anybody is short by 1 or 2 people.
