You can never have too many Atlases.

[Glaive-]

Now I can finally have two dusty Atlases as opposed to one

Many thanks for the grab bag event too!

Can we please get a dev log soon, they were really informative about what was going on.

[D V Devnull]

Glad to see the next major Loot Bag Event and its' Challenges inbound... Being able to earn an Atlas sounds very fun. I will be looking rather much forward to this, even though I'll be minorly delayed in getting started by Real Life things.

EDIT :: This constructively-intended "What If...?" section has been shrunk in response to someone rather horribly misinterpreting this user... Open it only if you really wish to read it...

Spoiler

On the side....... Let's say someone were to ask me what one thing I might have done differently would be? Well, while I don't feel particularly pushed or spurred myself, there's two ways that my mind could go on that one. Either of them would be fine on their own, but doing both would definitely be too much. Also, I'm only posting this part to pre-satisfy a random question in advance, and not as an attempt to change anything... Please avoid misinterpreting it as anything I have not intended.

Option One? That would be to start 'Phase 2' on the order of about 4 Days sooner and allow it to therefore run 4 Days longer within the Event's overall time limit. In this particular case, I'm not thinking much about myself, but instead about those who are dead at the bottom of the 'Tier 5' zone, and therefore likely need the added time to have any chance at collecting all 300 Loot Bags in total. After the 29 Days with 'Phase 1' and then 19 (instead of 15) Days with 'Phase 2' have passed, if someone has not finished by then, that would really be "Time's Up!" without an excuse for things.

Option Two? Make it so that the Pick-A-Prize Camo only needs somewhere around 275 (up to 290, perhaps) Loot Bags acquired to be considered "Earned & Unlocked" by the player, out of the 300 Maximum possible. Again, a thought aimed at lower-skilled players in order to try to build up their confidence and make them think MWO is a great thing to stick with. But that depends entirely on if the psychology behind the whole "getting more after the last major unlock" will even work on that person's mind. Who knows...

And in the case of anyone wondering, the only reason I'm currently 'Tier 4' while typing this is because of recent Light Mech piloting and how it can have situations where it will not get properly rewarded. I guess that I'm going to have to fix that with other Mechs and get back into 'Tier 3' once again, seeing as direct combat is wrongfully the only metric that counts in these current MWO days.

Anywho... Pardon me, everyone... I've got battlefields to get back to. See you all out there.

The free Atlas isn't in any of the loot bag challenges

Wrong. *facedesk*

It unlocks on the 200th Loot Bag acquisition by a player, as unlocking it functions differently when the Loot Bag System happens to be involved. Look specifically at the Loot Redemption (a.k.a. "Tournament") Page for the meter, as that particular Challenge and its' Tracker are present there.

Hmmmm. Use my Founder Atlas to earn a Space Poor AS7-D? Bit of a grind to 200 if so...

[PocketYoda]

I earned 50 loot bags and haven't even logged in?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Nice!

Event page, Lootbag Redemption Page, Challenges and even the Steam Event announcement up timely and in sync! Well done staff, I salute you! <

You most likely bought the Warden Pack?

I was thinking the same thing, but knowing myself, I'm sure I will anyway. Can't go wrong with another AS7-D!

[Viersche]

The AS7-D was the first ever mech i bought in this game...now i'll be bringing it out of the mothballs to finally get decal patterns and bolt-ons for it

[Duke Falcon]

PGI you are vile and wicked! I wanted a month play exclusively FP... But I have no Atlas yet but wants one! You vile, wicked people!

[JOATMON Incorporated]

Thank you! The loot bag events are always fun!
Your timing was perfect. I was helping a couple friends do last minute grinds for the Canadian/4th and Cool Map events last night when this very pleasant surprise popped up and went live.
(Yes my two friends both managed to get all the colors out of the 4th event like they wanted.) This was just icing on the cake for us and we all had a really good time. Thank you!

[NanoLeviathan]

So excited for the Atlas! Such an iconic mech!

[Pz_DC]

Thanks for the event, but, PLEASE, next time can we choose at last one of two mechs?.. Like "AS-7D or DWF-A"? Some of us already have "dusty AS-7D" while try to grab 200 lootbags for some c-bills, mech bay, few colors and some more trash items is not a rly fine IMHO.

[Buenaventura]

With the preview picture, I thought we'd get that hideous mountain line camo, really thanks for giving us a choice of others, too.
