Thanks for switching the event to allow for groups of two. Been playing with friends and family all night and it's been great!

A few okay matches. Lot of spawn camping.

Yeah drop decks full of trial mechs in event play is great when it's the other team, not so great when they're on your team. At least all the event stuff can be ground in QP, but there's not really anything worth grinding.

Might take a bit for them to show up in game? Dad Bot was apparently an Autism Awareness Month 2019 item. It's a funny little standing decoration, animated. I like it.

You were right, they were all in my inventory this morning. Strange how no message showed up saying the items got injected .

Yeah I noticed that too, but the items were in inventory. /shrug

It's odd because in the past account injections from events redeemed on the site seemed to show up in that message box. Wonder if something broke?

The challenges didn't take as long as I thought...spending more time debating which mech hero I will buy next.
Gotta be honest...I would like to see more decals for rewards rather than cockpit items. It isn't a deal breaker though.

7500 matchscore in a weekend? That's the requirement for a free mech in a month. Seems like a lot

I'm not a very good player but on average I can generate 1500MS per hour so I was able to complete the event in two sessions, about five hours of play.

Good hunting,

I like the trial mech event that forces me to use different mechs, however:
they seem to be based off grimmechs builds, but the quite uncommon ones.

But the real pain is in the unskilled mechs, being put against fully skilled mechs.
Certain mechs had not quirks, so it was just using the weapons and realizing that the default weapon stats are, not that fast.

What I want to request or provide in feedback is, just use grimmechs builds completely, and skill the mech so it's a more fair fight.
These mechs are handicaps to use.

I agree that no skill tree is a handicap. They work better for challenges in QP, tbh.

Wow. A weekend event that requires running a specific mech really ******* sucks.

Very nice improvement.

Groups ruin everything. I'm out.

its max group size of 2, so it is pretty fair. Can't OP with just one friend.

Some of these loadouts are definitely hot garbage. It's a grind. Not terribly hard, just time consuming and not fun. Honestly it just feels like we're being thrown a few random freebies in exchange for being cannon fodder for the people piloting real mechs. Not having a skill tree isn't great, but honestly the skill tree system has always been an annoyance and the main reason I just play my maxed out mechs and don't buy new ones.

Getting payoffs to be cannon fodder describes a number of events. Especially when you're on their team and you can hear them talking about farming, and you know there's a chance they'll be on the other team next drop camping your spawns.

Honestly some matches were genuinely fun and others (especially on FWL Colosseum and I'll add Tourm to the "quit ******* adding this to a dropdeck EQ" list) were the most ungodly drag, players will optimize all the fun right out of stuff if you let them.

yeah no **** this EQ has fully devolved into "peek and poke or die" where the mission is to bore/frustrate the first wave to death and then run up to camp spawn

Super fun EQ so far, thank you!

Yea it seems to be a big problem in the colosseum and on vitric where it's alot of peeky pokey. I would really love to see more brawl maps like forest colony or viridian bog, not sure why they don't add those in to the mix.

Take a wild ******* guess why. This is only hard to figure out if you refuse to abandon the idea that you're not being played for a ******* fool at the behest of people who look at you the same way a butcher looks at a steer.
