Hello there, Duck Dodgers ....... Are you allowing yourself to be creatively offended here? It sure seems like that is what happens to be going on here. Why do I think this? Because the word "Duck" can be used to reference something else which hides, such as that Mech & player who threw the UAV in the air. So what the phrase "Duck Hunt" happens to reference in this case literally has NOTHING to do with the bird animal. Instead, what it has to do with is the person hiding – or "ducking down" – who happens to be deploying that UAV consumable, which one must then shoot – or "hunt" – down out of the air. That is literally all it is, and NOTHING more!

I am relieved to hear that no ducks were harmed in the making of this event.

Complete Challenges to Earn GSP

As some players noticed there were no GSP rewards in the Beach Party Loot Bags.

The Shoot to skill event is meant to make up for that!

Look for the August Free Mech Event Coming Next Week!

Ugh, please avoid quoting such huge posts multiple times! Especially if you intend to focus on a single line of text...

It looks to me like they may have had some kind of problem with their connection to MWO's Forums while writing that post. Either that, or they didn't see something render in, and thought they had to push the 'Quote' button again. Knowing my luck, they were probably posting from a Chrome-based browser or some odd operating system, either of which was designed to overly eschew the much-needed scroll bars that provide very useful user feedback. Afraid this is one time that we can possibly point a finger at browser and/or OS developers who try to take too much away from users visually.

Sweet time for me to reinstall the game after getting a new PC. I'm excited to test out MWO and that upcoming free mech on this. Keep up the good work.
