The problems for most players is the fact, that you cannot run in circles in fp^^

And how's that map designee philosophy working for FP? hour + wait times for a match you say, tragic! Meanwhile in GP you can get in a match in less than 10 minutes. Face it, NASCAR is far preferable to being forced to march **** first into a shooting gallery with next to no cover like a conscript in Stalingrad, all while being carved to pieces by ERLL vomit, and LURM sperm with the occasional gauss thrown in for good measure.

It's fairly clear that the Siege maps were made with the same mindset, and most likely by the same people, who did the original Polar Highlands, which was so hated that it almost never saw play, and when it did you'd see 2 to 3 people per side disconnect and take the penalty rather than play on that godforsaken map. It was so bad PGI had to eventually break down, and completely redesign it. Vault is the worst offender, but all of the Siege maps need a complete rework, just like Polar, and for the exact same reason!

I'm finding that while the event counted my matches correctly, the heavy mech and medium mech damage was not counted at all. That's... a bit of a problem.

For realsies now. Hellbringer Virago, Hellbringer Prime, Sun Spider Ambush, Hunchback IIC A. 1.5K damage combined across the three heavies. The amount credited towards the event? 700.

On the pro side:
The 11 drop decks i bought with real money years ago, just before FP was killed by the "Year of Faction Play" and my old Clan fell apart, finally make sense (not really).

On the con side:
As already stated by others. Clan vs. Clan doesn´t count for "Clan Kill". That´s what i wanted to write right now, but suddenly the reward is unlocked. Guess it was fixed just this moment.

go FP events regularly. Every week is pretty nice

[simon1812]

Medium and heavy mech damage challenges are seeing the slowest progression, didn't expect to see that, not sure if I will make it happen before the even is over...guess I could try use a drop deck full of mediums and another full of heavies.

Somebody suggested earlier to try without using hero mechs, don't if it works though, haven't tired yet.

@PGI,
Please provide some feedback on how the Matchmaker is working when the event concludes. Observations, stats on queue population during periods of the day, group composition, whatever you have that's interesting. I'm curious.

[Ruediger Steiner]

Whoever is currently fixing the event on his saturday freetime. Thank you.

[Rhaelcan]

Can the sale go on for the rest of the week, Please and thank you/

Sorry about the issues with the Challenges Folks!
I have done a pass to reduce the effort required to achieve them.

We are investigating why IS Kills and Clan Kills are not counting for some.
We suspect it has to do with Player Faction Allegiance and not the chosen Conflict allegiance.

...

Thanks again for events/work. No complaints. Confused if this means problem was fixed or not though. I checked since adjustments and still cannot complete "FP Clan Kills - Earn 1 Clan Kills in Faction Play'
Edit: Never mind, I'm an idiot. Thanks again.

. . . and within a couple of hours, all the toxic elements came out that had ruined faction play previously; spawn camping, farming instead of objective completion, etc.

These events are likely to be the first dip into the faction warfare pool for many players and their experiences are highly unlikely to make them want to support the mode. Well played to the usual suspects for sweeping the mode clean of potential players, again.

I went in with low expectations because it's a mode I'm still new to and I have a rough idea of what needs to happen with what loadouts and that low bar got limbo'd under by someone who thinks being mouthy engenders enthusiasm for their orders.

I don't care that we got gen rushed. It's clearly an option, and Red took it.

A regular ASN-23 did not count for me just now, so this seems to be something else.

At least I had fun with the event...

Hey Matt, I just did over 1K damage between two Warhammers. Guess how much of it counted for the event?
None.

[Odwalla]

Just finished the event. FP is not for me, way too stompy. My biggest issue is you know you lost in the first 5-10 minutes. Then you have to wait another 20 minutes to finish getting farmed. QM stomps aren't fun either but at least they don't drag on. Anyway, thanks for the event and gl to the ppl enjoying FP.

[Oriffel]

Ok, whole new set of issues! I can't select my drop decks. well i can select, but it keeps deploying the same old loadout. Atlas and heavy damage is not registering either. Nor are any kills.

Why is the Awesomes never on sale?

And sorry no rewards are going to entice me into faction play.. Nothing is worth being farmed like that.

I see they put Awesomes at 0%off all because i asked why they were never put on sale.. Thats pretty spiteful man, you want spiteful sure there goes my $100 AUD Stone Rhino pre order.. good luck with ******** on customers.
