I do have to say, I love this map.

[Battlemaster56]

Hope y'all love flamer meta because that all it is, running twin lbx20's wont save you when they can overheat you with no problem.

2 hours of nothing but this event.

not a single component.

I know, gitgud.

Enjoy it. I cannot.

40 is a bit much. I'm averaging one per win, none on a loss.

[Juvat]

it's certainly brought out the "gee I miraculously somehow only targeted your CT even though I'm firing splash damage weaponry from across the map"... le sigh... at least some of the matches have been actual fights. If you see me I'll give you a real match (even though it may be lop sided based upon skill or lack thereof on my part lol)

Anyone else never get their event items after redeeming?

[simon1812]

First I like the event so far, 1vs1 matches are just plain cool, hope to see such events happen more often.

Second....I was looking forward to better rewards, I dont know MC would be too much that ask for maybe? So high exclusive decals? Like solaris themed decals. Or CBs, or the loot boxes thingy, or maybe even a free mech? Even if its a variant I already own the mechbay that comes with is always welcome.

What's up with the freeze at the start?

In original solaris, that was when the Duncan Fisher announcement played and both players mechs were shown

Where are the dropship deals?

[The Chancelor]

Played a couple of matches, so much fun!

Thx PGI!

And apologies to my Tier 4 and 5 opponents. U are doing great o7

[Muz0079]

Any sale is welcome..... however, given there's a big IS-only comp starting next week, then an IS sale might have been a bit more useful to a lot of people :S

[Jesoo_Creesto]

They're allowing 2-men groups to queue against solo players in 2v2 Solaris Arena.

This is beyond ridiculous.

EDIT: Ah, I see I'm just very unlucky and then I get paired against people who play together. Nice

Still ridiculous to think about how jinxed I am.

When will you finally do battles in Solaris on stock mechs?

THIS INFORMATION IS CORRECT




The Plan is to do 1 Solaris Weekend Per Month

12 months =

• IS + Clans - Light, Medium, Heavy, and Assault (That's 4)
  
• Clan Only - Light, Medium, Heavy, and Assault (That's 4)
  
• IS Only - Light, Medium, Heavy, and Assault (That's 4)

So the Plan is the weekend right before the Patch is Solaris Weekend.

The Event, Challenge, (with XP and C-Bill Boosted Cockpit items) and Sale will all be present.

As long as these are not the only events then I'm happy - that's a lot of 1v1 / 2v2 weekends and no dropdeck events!

Did you guys remember to turn Flamers down this time?

Yep, nothing gets otherwise reasonable MWO players right ticked off like flamer builds in 1v1......

No Dunca Fisher though bit of a bummer

[An6ryMan69]

It's good to see that the players who miss Solaris matches can sink their teeth into something.

I rarely pass on spending money when sales come up either!
