Awesome, if the devs actually play QP then they’ll see there really are enough premades in it for them to have their own queue again.

While it's great to see an event like this finally scheduled and announced, unfortunately I've really only heard of three of the streamers. Where's Baradul, TTB, Critical Rocket, Larsh, OldBob 10025, or Haven Kendrick? And TheB33f... is he still playing MWO?

Also, someone needs to talk Texicus (Tex from the Black Pants Legion) back into MWO...

They all (the people currently on the list) regularly stream, but to be brutally honest most of them rarely solo drop and have been carried to T1. Not that T1 is hard to get to if you really, really want to go out of your way to be there. Distinctly absent are some of the best and most personable streamers, like MPG, Dimento Graven, Brios, Akolade etc. These guys pull in views and aren't just good players, but interesting folk in their own right. I understand though that perhaps they are just too busy with RL.

Your crusade shall never end, but your username is absolutely perfect Sir Knight Captain!

Hopefully, some of them will group up. With the wide spread of Tiers between the listed targets, it would certainly display whether or not the whole "PSR doesn't matter with groups" concept. Especially if the lower tiered ones group up and end up against T1s.

I see cross-hairs. I love hunting wrabbits (squirrels) but I'll settle for a Dev now...

Be very, very, quiet, I'm hunting Developers....ha ha ha.

I'm tier 1, and I believe Mark Nicholson is as well. But yeah in future events, I'll be sure to use alt accounts as well, so that more players have a chance.

I've not played as much since the reset, so I'm still Tier 3, actually. But this does mean I have the opportunity to get shot at by everyone.

Was that George Ledoux narrating in Solaris7?
He was GOOD!

I *second* George Ledoux for narrating this upcoming event

I will absolutely risk getting fired from my job to hunt the streamers

If need be I can pinch-hit if you're in need of a T3 streamer who flirts with T4 XD . (Though I've been more focused and aggressive lately, and less flirtatious with T4.)

for every killing blow against the following developer accounts, in either Quick Play or Faction Play matches:

I call complete and utter BS on that one. As if any of the devs have ever played a Faction Play match. Been playing it nearly exclusively for 5 years now, never seen or even heard of anyone else seeing one of you guys in a match.

Eh... there's one bright side. If you had played too little, that recent adjustment to the PSR start point (and the ensuing modifications upon those who had not played enough) could have yanked you down into 'Tier 4' or lower. You thankfully avoided being unavailable to part of the game's audience. So at least there's that happy little note.

Wonder how many the devs/streamers will score against each other

oh no! this'll ruin my notoriety as the only dev to get a devkill (from before I started working here)!!

[Nightbird]

Nice to have more events but it doesn't improve retention rates. Clock is ticking, the covid bounce ends summer.

You will get the reward for every one you get the killing blow on.

I will happily take on the opportunity to go after you in any match. Opposing sides of course

You better be bringing plenty of water. I'm going to give you a run for your money bud.

"This is Duncan Fisher coming live to you from Solaris! Tonights match… oooohh and we got our first kill just 2 seconds into the match!! Russ Bullock is down! Killed by his own team mate with little mercy and absolutely no respect! Those Heavy Gauss rounds are gonna leave a mark! Well folks this escalated quickly I am sure that rogue pilot is very soon gonna be missing his account like I am missing my legs!
Speaking of legs! I was in the Valhalla Club the other night…"

Sounds like a job for Chaotic Harmony. Anyone asked him yet?

[Greygor 727]

This is a nice start but you need to add other challenges to this. The odds of playing against one of the Dev's or Streamers sounds real slim to me.

What is the minimum requirement to participate as a streamer?

The minimum requirement is to do this step first

If you are a MechWarrior Online content creator and would like a chance to be involved in future events, email daeron.katz@piranhagames.com

Then it'll be communication between you and Daeron for what lies ahead.

You have to wear a silly hat and be unusually attracted to pack animals.

Rewards are poor. Useless standing/hanging items are garbage, which only limits visibility.

This is testing a new system. If it goes smoothly, rewards could be different in future events.

Dammit, if I knew I could pick a tourney warhorn, I would have gone with the 2018 Red Tournament warhorn, make it worth killing my ***.

Done.

This event sounds fun! A really creative way to encourage content creation and attract more pilots into playing. It'd be really cool to see more events coordinated with Twitch streamers. I've been noticing more streamers/viewers for Mechwarrior on Twitch and it's fun being able to interact with other pilots between drops.

I might have to skip out on some cockpit items like rocket girl, shield, nova cat and retro arcade... I don't know if I can bring myself to eliminate my MechQueens

It is our intention that this is the first of many cooperative efforts with our content creators this year and onward!

@Daeron Katz
Put me down as a Streamer, with Christmas Bell Warhorn... and I will stream it!

People will love having a chance to get me!

or if they have a cloud cockpit item of some sort.. that would be fun!

Done!

I'm open to working with all of the above on future events.
