Just want to thank PGI and whoever setup this event.
I was so burned out from the super grind on the last event that It almost made me sick to even think about playing MWO.
When I read about this event in the forums and checked out the requirements, it was such a feeling of relief that I finally logged back in and am actually enjoying playing again.
PLAYING a GAME should be FUN, not a grind that just burns up your life.
Thank you PGI.
Peace

The person that made you sick, the person who made the last event, is the same person who made this event.
So who are you thanking again and why?

[Peace2U]

I have no way of knowing who designs or authorizes these events.
What I do know is that the previous event was a horrible time demanding ordeal, and the current event is more fun because the requirements and time allotment are very reasonable.
Games should be fun, not a drag.
I am grateful for this and wanted to show my appreciation.
Perhaps the designer is a good player and that is the reason he set the bar as high as he did on the prior event.
And maybe he realized he was leaving a substantial percentage of the player base behind, ergo the lower requirements for this event.
Just speculation, but the end result is favorable never the less.
Peace

Mech bays filled now. Got an Orion IIC as brawler, Rifleman IIC with AC2s and a Highlander IIC as LRM boat in this sale. The refits did cost more than the chassis, these big clan XLs are pricey.

I'd be happier to have new new mechs verses new ones we've had for years. I know Rifleman IIC is fairly new, maybe last new mech added to the game.

Why can't you thank a person one day and be unhappy with them the other? Why should you forcefully either keep thanking them or disliking them all the time?

What exactly was super grind about the previous event, it was originally 18 days to do 75k match score, and 75k damage for maximum 300 earned loot bags, and only 250 was needed for a free mech+mech bay (that wasn't even a special mech of any sort). Even before they did the week long extension, I had done 250 bags each on 3 different accounts and I skipped playing several days altogether in that original period.

Average match score <250. Average match time ~5 minutes. Not for normal people to grind. Good for you that you have nothing else in your life.

So that event was nice. How about the tRaditional easter event?

Of course you can thank a person one day and be unhappy with them the other.
It´s just my opinion that you should clearly state your unhappiness over the fact that this person is making the same mistakes over and over and over, yet promising to do it better in the next event. So just because that person does an easy event unintentionally, doesn´t mean you have to thank him like he knows what he is doing.

No, unless you have proof that it was unintentional, you can't say he doesn't know what he's doing. Among all of the PGI staff, the art team, the Support and the events are the one thing that do well. Granted that the events aren't really focused on FW doesn't mean that many people play MWO during events. Moreover, whenever you bring it to his notice that the event is not that good or has some faults, he does change it to some extent.

Nope.

Does anyone remember when this event ended? I'm trying to figure out my 2 week window for cashing in the rewards.
(really wish the start and stop clocks on events also included dates)

That link is from Lucky Charms. I know Shootout 2 hasn't expired yet because the awards still show a "Redeem" button and when they expire they go back to "Locked." But I don't remember when they do expire.
