What was the best Event so far?
Imo,.it was King Of The Monsters.

Fast moving assaults with double armor.
There was something fantastic about taking an initial volley to the CT and not even turning yellow yet... Like my armor integrity was holding.

Anyways, it was incredibly fun once I found my build to use for it.

I just ran 4 lbx10 anni 1x's and destroyed everything from the face of earth. By far the most fun gamemode.

I don't see this in the event lineup, but my favorite was the one with:

• Lights Only
  
• 4 Mech Drop Deck
  
• Skirmish
  
• Crimson Straight
  
• Unlimited Ammo
  
• Unlimited JJ fuel
  
• Extreme Heat DIssipation or No Overheat

The Dakka Dakka one was fun, but the mode/map combo was pretty bad. It was easy to cut off the team that spawned in the peninsula areas of the map on the island side and force a cap/timeout loss.

King of Monsters was enjoyable for a few rounds, but I felt the fights just dragged on too long and went back to QP. Maybe it was just the people I was being teamed up with, but only a couple of people were willing to swarm caught out mechs for quick rear core kills.

The 1.5x Speed Boost saw me using a lot of terrain for quick stops.

Been enjoying a lot of them. Urbie Derby was most fun so far for me. Did get a lot of leveling done in the various Assault only queues, but missed the Steiner one. Did not enjoy the Instgib ‘Nerf Mode’ one.

I haven't played many events but I liked the tera thermal without heat and infinite JJs. Ran around in my fireball wrecking till someone took out my leg.

[GunRaptor]

The Urbie Derby was amazing and some of the best fun I've ever had in video gaming.

[mytilus edulis]

Urbie Derbies, any of the extreme heat dissipation and 2X speed modes.

Yeah this was fantastic. Sustained brawling where twisting and shielding matters a lot.

The Urbie Derby was a laugh.


However I did also enjoy being able to run my MASC Black Lanner at 192kph last night though stopping became a problem.

Just going to add what, in my opinion, is the worst event - Glass Cannon. Basically turns into a sniper fest - yawn!

I found everything I tried so far enjoyable.

The recent Glass Canons (mediums and heavies, increased speed and heat dissipation but no armor) was surprisingly fun.

I do think it's noteworthy that so many events basically get rid of heat management....a person might come to think LOTS of players have no use for the heat management system in its entirety and just prefer to have weapon cooldown times only....just sayin...

i really wanted to play that one, but couldnt find the time.

[klozz]

Glass Cannons and Absurd Assault were most fun.

Sadly i missed some events due to timezones.

I wish they could restrict events to specific weapons or builds. I suppose the only way to do that is to increase or decrease damage based on type, or maybe they can force everyone to play specific trial mechs set up in advance for the event. They're supposed to be able to limit based on variant, so theoretically they could create a new variant or two that aren't for sale and exist as trial mechs (because C mechs can be bought and the loadout changed and would be valid). In this way, it wouldn't matter if you had better equipment because the playing field would be level in an event.

Just something kind of heart pumping knowing one decent Alpha strike to the CT will take out anything on the battlefield (including yourself), and even a slightly off-center hit will tear away a torso and cripple somebody!

Likely this stuff will come up again - maybe I'll see you out there!

I have not been able to join an event yet, been trying to but I've waited for over 20 minutes one time in que and now I won't play event que anymore. I'll choose a 5 minute wait time over not getting in.

Then the times of these events are weird and why are the events in the AM, early AM like 2 am start time? WTH gives with that PGI? PGI, do you really believe that all your players stay up all day and night to wait in ques and go through 25 loading screnes?

Seriously PGI, you all can do so much better.

There are players in Europe, Asia, other time zones.

I did have queue time issues sporadically for the urbie derby and sometimes with other events.
