Why is the sale the same stuff that's already on sale during the same time window? How about colors or warhorns?

I'm working on new bundle sales as we speak that will include everything you're talking about and more. Coming very soon!

Hi Daeron

Could you see your way into adding Corsairs and Battlemasters into the sale?

Very much appreciated if you could!

Cheers.

[Magic Pain Glove]

I really like the current event picks. So I have to say good job PGI ������.

Regarding sales , I would also like to see an in game warhorn MC sale because we didn't see one in a long while.

100 Ton 'Mechs Only (50% DURING EVENT!). Means - 50% more armor, right?

Why are you starting the event queue so late? Is the European part of the community not important to you? Maybe you should move the start 12 hours earlier so that people from the other side of the planet can play the event on Friday?

[An6ryMan69]

EQ events are always welcome, and good sales even more!

Thanks!

[CwStrife]

Not to sound like a cry baby, but why do these events always alter between maps like Vitric and Rubelite? Couldn't be get like Emerald or something with some greenery a bit more often to spice it up a little?

Something like Crimson would be awesome, Canyon Network, or even the Solaris maps would be a cool change up on some wild 4v4 stuff.

One of the earlier event queues was assaults only on canyon network and that ended up being really fun. I'd like to see canyon i the map pool again, it's small enough for 8v8.

The Event Queue lasts for 72 hours straight, so there should be plenty of opportunity for everyone around the world to play over the course of 3 days. If you can't find time to play in that 72 hours, there are at least 2 Event Queue weekends every month.

I'm limited to the maps I can use with dropships. In order to use some of the other player favorite maps, we have to add dropships to those maps, which we are doing as we can. I'll make sure to get some non-dropship modes into the next event and use some other maps like Emerald Vale etc.

Yeah same as previous answer, unfortunately Canyon doesn't have dropship capability yet. Whenever I do non-dropship events, I get asked by everyone to do dropships. I'm trying to mix things up and use as many of our available options as possible though.

[Kodan Black]

Appreciate the answers and info Daeron. Good to hear the reason why something might not be possible so we know. Thanks man.

Thanks for the reply... what do you mean by dropships exactly? Shouldn't any map be able to be loaded up so it could be played in the event? It would just be fun to see more variety. Alot of the maps use the same drab color schemes which makes them kinda boring and maps the event kinda dull after a short period of time. I know i'm not the only one who has said it either whilst in a match I have many times heard others say "why is it the same maps we play over and over" which is true. In this event it happens to be Vitric and Rubelite, which are overplayed anyways, same color scheme, which makes me play the event for maybe a few matches (i'm not looking for extra c-bills), and then I go back to quickplay and pay little mind to it because.. well... those maps are incredibly boring to play over and over.

Now when the Solaris event ran the other weekend and you guys were changing it up between Mech Factory and Steiner Arena and some weird Bog map, those were excellent, I made sure I played pretty much every one of those maps and sadly missed Mech Factory which I would have loved to play... Please, bring more of that on!

I'd do anything to see an event with maps that feature full foliage the entire time like River City, Crimson, Bog, real life like atmospheres. Even Canyon is life like compared to a few of these maps we tend to play over and over.

Some maps are dropship enabled. When you spawn in, you will be in a dropship (like Faction Play). Some maps you just spawn on the map, no dropship (like Canyon Network). Those maps without dropships are usable in Event Queue, but I can't do events with Drop Decks (4 'Mechs) on them until our level designer adds dropships to those maps. We're slowly doing this while we work on improving all of our maps, but it takes time.

I will add some of these maps to the rotation next time we do a non-Solaris Event Queue weekend.

i forgot about this, nevermind then. Honestly dropship is way more fun than single drops so i think the focus on dropship is good.

[BLACKR0SE]

nice event thanks. Could you slow down the game in the next event? I wonder how it will be

[Ilostmycactus]

Could you add the Vapor Eagle, Grasshopper, and Cataphract, please?
