Tell me your secret! My matches were 70% Polar last night, I am desperate for other maps!

Drop to Tier 5, I practically never have Polar Highlands.

[Bolo Atari]

Meh. I've voted for the map and get outvoted for another. Democracy in action. Still got what is needed within 3 hour gameplay

Yes, I'm bragging because my reality seems utterly different than others here.

I need an alt account!
Played 5 matches yesterday 3 on Polar Clutterlands and then decided to play different game.

Just don't smurf plz.

Otherwise, if I'll not be able to do those 5 victories on Polar due to seemingly player aversion to it, well...

Goodbye, Arctic Pollux ADA Tank.



Good that I have one... And standard Desert variant is available for general purchase.

Can't play as much as I wanted to, due to parent tending after accident.

I'm never enthused about these streamer hunt events.

I think I'll stay offline until it's over.

The fact that they are mostly tier 1 and i'm Aussie, i never see any anyway

There are plenty of T3-T5 users in that list so that isn't really a fact at all.

If I recall you have said you don't like to use Twitch. For a event around streamers you might want to revisit stance that as it would make it a lot easier to know what is actually going on.. I know of 10-15 in that list that stream when Oceanic players are on as I watch them myself from time to time.

Hope that helps you find the streamers for some free MC.

[Leone]

I play mainly during oceanic times. I see plenty of streamers. Some even advertise and congratulate those who collect. Others just quietly slip some MC your way after the fact. Some'll charge in and taunt the opfor, trying to give their team an advantage, others'll sit back and turn the game into a well meaning game of escort. All in all it's good fun, and I've built a Thanatos Hangover outta streamer bounties.

The Thursday after the event was announced, but before it began, I saw streamers four times in the few matches I played that night. The rest of the weekend I only had one game with streamers in it (there were two in that game, not sure if they were in a group or if it was a fluke).

I expect that this is because there are so many stream snipers that you're very unlikely to get a game against a streamer by chance unless you also stream snipe.

[Coffeeghoul]

I thought this would be an easy event. It's not. This is my first day of playing after the patch and I haven't even seen polar in the selection within the last 4 hours. Has it been taken out of the rotation?

I have extended the Challenge by 1 week so folks have more time to get the map.
We have weighted the maps so they should show up more often.

[Nightbird]

Only saw Polar one out of 30-50 FP matches, which is good, keep it low. Hibernal Rift has a 0 percent chance in FP and no one minds.

Very appreciated. A bunch of my normal game buddies have had busy weekends and were going to miss it.

[II Marauder II]

Thank you for the fun event, happy also to see the return of the MC rewards for prizes! Much better this way.

The map event deadline extension is welcome, those 5 victories on polar are harder than they look!

[Coffeeghoul]

Yes, indeed. I'm 7 hours in the game after the patch. Have seen polar ONCE in the selection so far without getting it. Strange thing, becauuse others are already annoyed by getting it every time.

The way things are going lately that might just happen for me automatically if I play long enough!

When the whole reset started I was well on my way to T2 immediately but then after beeing like 5% in T2 things went bad... really bad...
Now I am somewhere at like 30% to 40% of T3 and dropping more towards T4 than gaining towards T2

The redesign is horrible and the map should be renamed to something different!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the original Polar Highlands and don't create any new Events with a Win requirement because that's pretty much the most hardest and sometimes even impossible thing to get in this game since most of the players don't even know how to aim properly!

And don't get me started about the Scan/Spot/Pop UAV/Look at minimap stuff...

Thanks!

And could you give us the mechbay sale too?

[Duke Falcon]

I were able to finish this event within a single day. Polar highlands were very frequent but Hibernal rift were offered only two times.

But still wonder: What the heck is with Solaris City?! It is always shows up when I launch quickplay! The worst map need to be forced on the players or what? City maps also need some serious change: WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE INVINCIBLE BUILDINGS?!

Dear developers! Think about it: If I hit your house with a 200mm cannon or a volley of missiles what would happen? NOTHING?! Where DO YOU live? Those houses would turn into stinking little pieces! Currently city maps are **** because of this.

What? Engine limitations? Hahaha! Funny guys! MW3-4 already featured destructible buildings with engines far poorer than CryEngine. And reduce buildings to debris would not really affect game speed because there would be no more objects need to render and display...

And could have some engine sale in the near future? Half-price mechs are seems cool at first but since they need engine swap their price not trully lowered by the sale...

[DeathDream]

I really do like the new Polar Highlands but it is a very different map from what Polar Highlands was. Feels like the new Polar Highlands should be called something else all together.

Still on that note, why is Theta capture point not the middle point in the map? That part is really confusing!

Would like to see Polar Highlands (Classic) added to the map rotation.

Ouch. So far I'm stuck on Tier 5, around 85-90% bar filled.

I ain't mad about the PH redesign, yet I agree that this game is very dated and needs a long needed update... Like based on Mw5, since it's based on UE4 and it have already destructible buildings.

Anyway about event progress - now PH is showing up quite frequently, and managed to score 1 win from 5.

But I think that balancing is still needed, since left side team have better firing positions than the right side team around I7-I8.
