Why can not we play the event in the Quick Play queue too?

[Horseman]

Did you. Really. Schedule a weekend event. Overlapping the comp play schedule?

[Heavy Money]

Yay! More event queue!

[Buenaventura]

Does this mean the map is removed from the QP rotation for the time of the event?

[w0qj]

Always love boosted rewards Events; here we come!!

[crazytimes]

The big question is- the Cauldron warhorn- is it the riff from Avenged Sevenfold "Shepherd of Fire", or am I just imagining the similarity?

Bwahahahahaha pick your poison carefully.

Yay! It's a conference call!

Because then they would have to mess with a bunch of the normal Quick Play functions and probably upset a lot of people. At least by using the Event Queue options, then they can lock it to one specific Map instead of having other people mess with things by voting against this "Terra Therma (Classic) v2" Map that they want to explicitly give people a chance to play upon. It essentially diffuses a long-standing issue where people would block others from getting a particular Map required to complete the Event with.

They may have. And then they also messed up what time amount is indicated as being given. There is a 2-day disparity between the News Post and the Event Page in terms of allowed time. I really hope they'll fix the Event Page to match the News Posting and not turn it the other way around, as some people can't really fit weekends so well into their schedules.

Yup... and therefore the ability to focus in, enabling checking out how "Terra Therma (Classic) v2" feels with PvP gameplay happening.

Let's hope not. For those who decline to do the Event Queue Items there is no reason to block them from playing "Terra Therma (Classic) v2" in the normal Quick Play format, at least from what I can see anyway.

...and that's it from me for now. By the way... Anyone notice how the Extra Heat on "Terra Therma (Classic) v2" seems to cap around 10% and doesn't go higher?

Comp play can die in a fire. Literally in this case.

This is not the first time PGI screwed over a running event by starting another event in the same time-frame that requires playing a completely different queue. Objectively, this is a screw-up as it reduces the participation in both of them.

[CycKath]

I get that can only get an Event Queue in in Event Queue, but the rest only count if done in Event Queue as well?

[Dr Wubs]

Can there be an engine sale?

I don't really need them, but noobs needing to buy 4 urbie engines could be cash-strapped.

[Steve Pryde]

Domination with 4 mech dropdeck isn't the smartest choice tbh...

There is already a sale active with 50% on engines.

[Dr Wubs]

Nice, thanks.

[Solomon Birch]

Groups 1-2.
How can you have groups of one?

[Nyandere]

Really appreciate the event queue, it's been some of the most fun this game has had to offer.

Big fan of the limited tonnage on drop decks and different group size restrictions, it's great to see you guys coming up with different ideas and modes for the queue.

Thank you for keeping the game feeling fresh and interesting.

yeah originally it said until the 28th, right?

[Croaker Munin]

please stop calling the New New Terra Therma "Classic".
This is not classic Terror Therma.
The Donut in the middle is completly different. The dynamics within the match are completly different from real Classic Terra Therma.
