"FEE MECH ANNOUNCEMENT?"

You want to pay to run your mechs? I mean, I guess I can ask pgi to change your match payout to negative cbills but I'm not sure how that will help you

[Heavy Money]

They do appear to be running a bit late this month.
I assume they are waiting to finalize this month's mech changes, and will then have the free mech be one of those that's getting a lot of changes again.

[1453 R]

The 'monthly' events tend to run for close to a month and a half. Eventually they gonna have to skip a month to catch up. 'Sides, it's about time for another Clan 'Mech to hit rotation, but people get upset when Clan 'Mechs are up for grabs instead of more Spheroid junkers.

Ooops, sorry, fixed it, lol.

[LordNothing]

maybe they got tired shaking the loot tree. or perhaps they are giving it a rest getting closer to the holiday season and the myriad of events that usually comes with it.

Hey... Maybe this is the "Skip Month" that you were talking about! Perhaps we'll see the next Mech made possible to earn along with the "Trick Or Treat 7" Loot Bags and other goodies?

And hey... wait a minute there... I like having some Clan Mechs in the rotation! It sounds to me like there are some other people out there that need to stop feeling self-entitled to limiting these Mech-giving Events as being "Inner Sphere only" for what one receives... <*starts to chant/shout/whatever-ya-wanna-call-it*> We need variety. We Need Variety. WE NEED VARIETY!!!

As PGI had already shared, they are going all out to launch MW5 on PlayStation on/about Sept 25th 2021...

Daeron Also mentioned that they are trying to properly pace the (Hunter & upcoming Clan) Booster Packs, so that these would be launched in time this year and before Christmas. One would suspect that they are also pacing the 30-day Events such that PGI staff would have a proper Christmas holidays also...

Which is fine by me; MWO has never been more generous with free mechs/events/MC and other goodies!

A BIG thank you to MWO/PGI especially for this year!

The free mech is the (S) Night Gyr from participating in 20 games in comp?

[1453 R]

Is there an (S) Night Gyr for participating in 20 matches in Comp?

Huh. Nice bonus for the compies I suppose.

[Gas Guzzler]

I'm sure they are busy crafting the Loyalty Program post and next weeks patch notes. And getting ready for the Clan booster pack.

[1453 R]

Do they even still do Loyalty?

Also: odds on the next booster pack beyond Hunter also being Inner Sphere, just because Sphere **** sells better when it isn't outlier nostalgia bait with super-powerful loadouts like the Warden stuff?

I think PGI has been pretty even-handed when it comes to free mechs (not special packs). Since February they've given away a Huntsman, Madcat MkII, Arctic Cheetah, and Timberwolf. All are quite effective in quick play.

Good hunting,

Theres a lot of casual teams being put together just for the fun and the rewards. Get in on the action!

[1453 R]

Heh.

I'm Tier 4, Gagis. And at the absolute most, my little group of fellow MWO casuals comprises six people. There is actually factually zero possibility across all of space and time that I or anyone else in my general position will see comp play rewards. I do appreciate the encouragement, but ye may want to save it for folks who can actually make it.

My comp "team" is lots of t4 and t5 casuals. We were less than 8 people, but we got the word out and picked up a few others. I'd invite you, but we are full already. There's lots of other teams still trying to fill though.

It takes like 2 separate couple hour sessions to get through the 20 needed games, and you've still got like a month to do it (but only till the 20th to finalize a team roster). Its totally possible.

True... And on the I.S. Tech side of things, they have also given 'Javelin'/'Shadow Hawk'/'GrassHopper'/'Atlas' as well. At the time, I was responding specifically to '1453 R' and their thoughts about those who were trying to force an I.S. Tech bias to what would be up for earning. Basically boiled down, I concur with both of you that it should keep on alternating back and forth without developing bias towards one Tech side or the other. Hopefully, those working on MWO @ PGI will also keep that in mind, and avoid catering to whiners who would attempt to disrupt that enjoyable balance.

I see
"
How many games do I need to play to get the Top 500 rewards?

The Team needs to play 20 games, then their entire roster will be available for Top 500 Rewards."



kind of sucks



but like we say it is what it is
