                          why 20 MC rewards for some and only 10 for others?

                          Imagine doin an event with 200k C-bills and 20 MC reward locked for heroes mechs only.

                          EDIT: imagine buying hero mech to get 20MC and 200k C-bills reward.

                          Why does the in game streamer say the event is live now?

                          MC rewards all normalized to 25 MC - not sure why some were 10 MC (Data entry is fun)

                          I also plan on adding 2 day challenges during the whole Heroes to the rescue event so keep an eye out for those.

                          The ticker-tape at the bottom of the game screen says the Heroes to the Rescue event is Live, but the Event tracker says there's still 20 hours left to wait before part 1 kicks off...

                          25 whole MC? I've bought a Deathstrike with QP event rewards. If i finish this event with every hero Ive got, I could barely unlock a new camo for it.

                          Not sure what else I might spend my 80 cents worth of MC on though, so I'll think about it. If mechbays go on sale I have enough heroes i could buy one i suppose.

                          Will all the hero mech's listed in the challenges be rotated into the trial mechs available? so newer players can get involved?


                          Also praying for a paint sale in the shop soon..... need me some colours for my mechs!


                          Cheers for keeping things fresh here.

                          Look closely. Each Part and Phase has a general challenge you don't need a hero mech for.

                          Let me reframe that for you, so you dont have to be so salty:
                          Participate if you got the right mech, to get some free stuff.


                          Actually - it's a simple statement of fact.

                          Unlike the last event where imho PGI got it right in linking objectives to trial mechs (i.e. everyone gets to be involved), this one, should you want to complete it, must require players to buy specific mechs either in the past or at this moment in time, so whichever way you look at it, it is a pay-to-play event.

                          Now for the salt - I enter each drop with a barrow full of it to cast wide and far, usually at the nascarians who have still to learn that a solid defence and firing line does wonders or at the people quite clearly using a joystick on high gain to waddle and shoot at the terrain rather than the opposition :P

                          There's not fact in there.
                          Calling the event dumb is personal opinion and you can participate with the hero's you got, so you dont pay anything to participate, also there are two non hero specific reward in every phase. Pay to participate would be pay X amount in $, MC, or C-bills to be able to play the event, like a ticket.
                          Using your logic you could call any event that requires a certain type of weapon or weight class pay to participate, because if you dont have any you and still want to get the reward you got to buy a certain weapon or mech, not to mention events that require UAV detects even if it is just C-bills.


                          There will also be two-day challenges throughout the event.

                          I will agree as far as Hero mechs shouldn't be a requirement for any challenge, considering the ratio that requires a Hero mech compared to the challenges that do not... assuming players need to buy the Hero.
                          What should be done is a simple case of adding the Hero mechs that are in the current phase to the Trial section. This will allow players to try these Hero mechs first, and if liked enough, possibly buying one or a few while on sale. Saying that, of course, not every Hero mech has a good stock loadout, or perhaps one that doesn't suit my play style, but there are nonetheless some I would personally love to try out.

                          Have you bought ALL 5 Basic Colors for your palette? If not, since they're a little-known thing, then here's how...
                          • 1.) Open the MWO Game Client
                          • 2.) Go to the "MechLab"
                          • 3.) Go to "Camo Spec"
                          • 4.) Go to "Color"
                          • 5.) Click the drop-down, and pick "Basic"
                          • 6.) Pick any Pattern Color slot
                          • 7.) Pick any of those 5 Basic Colors other than the pre-unlocked "Basic Green"
                          • 8.) Use your (C-Bills) for one-time permanent unlock purchases on each Basic Color
                          ...and now you're able to start painting your Mechs that you own! :)
