I would be encouraged to grind this weekend if the event queue matches had some (any!) of the cool modifiers from the early days. You used up a lot of development time and resources precisely to have a way of adding wacky and/or interesting twists to the usual matches, but lately it's just bigger XP and cBills on these event queue weekends. And it's not even a good game mode, just vanilla skirmish to top it all off.

A big thank you to MWO for listing to us MWO players, and to extend the War Trophies Challenge Event to a realistic timeframe for us to enjoy!

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

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 .

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.

[PoohPuss]

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.

Super fun EQ so far, thank you!

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

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.

The tasks are completed, but the items haven't arrived

The issue was resolved after exiting the game and rejoining.

I like how Stripper Glitter had to change his Name, but some dude named "Pooh Puss" has THAT for a name... Weird rules PGI...

Give it some time.

Also, I didn't have a redeemed popup at the loading screen, maybe you already got your rewards but just didn't notice (check your credit page to see if MCs were awarded)

[P H O T O N]

Dear PGI,

I have to say the introduction of the event queue has breathed a whole new lease of life into this fantastic and one-of-a-kind game. I must admit I was doubtful when it was first mentioned in a dev log, but how wrong I was!

In my humble opinion, the event queue is THE most fun you can have in this game. Absolutely tremendous fun.

Please keep up the schedule of events and the excellent continued work on MWO. You never know, there might just be a player resurgence...

Best wishes,

P H O T O N
