can this thing do stock mode?

IDK why anyone is whining about a wall of text here, thank you for detailed information.

What I don't understand is the wall of text in-game. Why type out a list of chassis, obscuring the map, mode, and team size in a run on paragraph, when the list of chassis has it's own window right next to it. All available chassis are listed twice within inches of each other, but it took me three reads to find the assault tacked on to the end of the list, granted I was skimming, but I should be able to skim that window and see the map, mode, and team size without even trying.

They should be permanent lines, every single event queue description should have
Map: whichmap
Mode: whichmode
Teamsize: teamsize

Formatted exactly like that (or equivalent) at the top of the infobox, special rules listed under, mechs left in the designated area.
C'mon, clean it up guys.

The event variety is great. I think there is a bug in the scheduling however. There are only 30 min remaining as of 0230 UTC on the cats and dogs event, but it is scheduled to go another 2.5 hours

I'm having a ton of fun with the event queue. You were right Matt, this was something special and the resources invested on this were well spent. Kudos to you.

6pm to 8pm PST / 9am to 11pm EST / 1am to 3am UTC

In the future, please, try this modifier: +5 seconds to reload all weapons

Some damage is not registered in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT FIGHTS

All sounds very interesting for event queue if only I could only get a game on the Oceanic server to see......so far I have not managed to get a single game during day or evening since launch, just continual searching upto 30 minutes a time before throwing in the towel? don't know if its due to low numbers , tier restrictions at my level (only at 2), server issues...but fingers crossed weekend numbers may help.

update: Nope , 1hr 45 minutes searching on a Saturday evening and no game found ... is this event actually running on the Oceanic server at all?.
Totally busted.

Try to select mechs for the event queue, save, exit the mechlab, return to the event queue and start searching for a game.

No Anni on sale?

[Far Reach]

Nobody's playing these events, or waiting the 20 minutes to gather a group.
We don't have the pop for more splitting of the player pool.

[Lepestok]

I played these events for a few hours today. The game arrived quickly. Try the trick I described above. If this is not done, I also have a long search.

I have really been liking the EQ. I have only played that since it has been released. Some thoughts:

1. Some events should allow groups. (I would like to share these events with my brother but cant.)
2. Replace the XP bonus with a C-Bill one of equal value.
3. Run some events rewording EQ play.

Over all I vastly prefer the EQ to QP because: The smaller teams make strategy more important, matches are faster and the Meta takes longer to adapt.

MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

[John Bronco]

I think it would be fine to have some events that allowed 2-mans.

But no big stacks plz.

[Ratiborus]

I really hoped MWO Classic would be like CBT feeling. Without overheat its very weird and i was only Jenner in both teams (unsurprisingly). Long distance alpha meta on heavies/assaults is here, boring. Meh overall.
P.S.
Also should've enabled collisions back for that mode. Really sad that feature isn't implemented in the game still (its only been 10 years hehe).

...So it sounds like Darren added a bunch of mechs to the Sale that were specific mechs for Event Que; however, only Friday-Saturday's event que specific mechs were added to the sale; Of note, "King of the Monsters", "Highlander Burial", Darren's Birthday Bash" (Happy Birthday Dareen, by the way), and "Heavy Hitters" all include specific mech chassis that presently aren't on sale.

Are they being added later, or are we only providing sales for the first 2 days of event mode?

[mytilus edulis]

I'm not sure if this is intended but if you drop into the event queue right now and you disconnect after dying but before the match end, you can't swap to another mech and search for another match. It only provides the rejoin option.

[Agent Super Chicken]

Very important typo:

6pm to 8pm PST / 9am to 11pm EST / 1am to 3am UTC

THE RETURN OF THE MASTER'S CHALLENGE

So: in the Eastern time zone, the event is fourteen hours long instead of two hours?
In addition to this being located in a HUGE wall of text. I am sure some people will be sad if they miss it!

Hey this is cool with the little freaky limitless settings.

I have an event queue proposal. In honor of the iconic extra-long-range missile system, I entitle it:

Broken Arrow
Alpine Peaks, Polar Highlands, Frozen City or Forest Colony
Unlimited TAG range
Unlimited LRM range
Unlimited LRM ammo
Double LRM damage
Zero LRM missile spread

The event queue is a lot of fun so far. I like the sillier ones more.
