Can the Jenner IIC be on sale too

And can the sale go on maybe longer?

[w0qj]

Max 400 tons Drop Deck for 4x Assault Mechs !!

Thank you MWO for listening

[Nyandere]

Time to play the stone rhino nonstop

[Mechwarrior2342356]

It's a surprisingly okay map to be a brawly assault, with some world geo tweaks and a bit less oppressive gloom it would be downright great I think.

[F i s s i o n]

Hey thank you for the event!

[Mechwarrior2342356]

Non domination modes, okay, good.

why the jenner IIC?

[AmbidXtrousGNOME]

Will there be a Stone Rhino event at some point like the other new chassis got?

Perhaps they have a build which they're wanting to make? Or maybe a Faction Drop Deck which they barely have that much tonnage left on? Either way, I would say let them enjoy it.

I would not be surprised if there are others who want ones like the Arctic Cheetah, Incubus, Commando, I.S. Jenner, Mist Lynx, Kit Fox, Locust, and others that I have missed here.

Anyway, I agree with 'Rhaelcan' on asking for the Sale to run a lot longer than the Event Queue will be. It's hard sometimes to pick out the right purchase when the available time ain't there.

It certainly will be interesting to see all those Stone Rhino out in force for a bit. Finding all the weak spots is probably half the fun, even if there isn't a Challenge for taking down a Stone Rhino on the field.

By the way, is there any chance some of those "Scrapyard Assault Event Queue" Domination/Skirmish slots could be swapped for Conquest so that people get a chance to explore the Map while they try to fight and attempt winning? I'm not trying to be mean here, but I have to note that even with tripled earnings the Skirmish mode is somewhat weak on payouts.

Before my mind totally forgets, does the "Ceres Metal Scrapyard" Map (which I did note the "Early Access" labeling on) happen to have Assault or Incursion modes available? I never saw any indication about that which my mind can remember.

Ehhh, unlimited jump jets n stuff again, and the same map. Will be fun to play for a short bit but then back to QP.

Because I wanna buy them

[Frankenst3in]

Thank you for the event! I had a blast in it yesterday, and hope to play more this weekend!

There were no unlimited JJs in the matches I played early in the event. Sucks to miss that, but hey.

[DoucheNugg3t]

fun event and cool map, had a blast last night, only two matches were the enemy stood on the hill in their 100 tonners playing pokey-mech instead of scrap'n in the yard

[TercieI]

I've played three of thes now, making 1.6MM to 2.5MM per match, but more importantly...this is hella fun. I haven't messed with event queues much, but I will in future.

[Mechwarrior2342356]

Refreshing lack of LRM balloons. Beyond that... eh.

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

I wish these QP events were solo only, and thus had almost no chance of being trolled by organized group droppers.They've been able to drop and troll casual players who dare to play FP for years, and you've let groups troll QP ever since you launched soup queue for them. There is literally nothing in this game that's fair to solo players, except for 1v1 in Solaris when such an event is on, and that isn't even remotely as fun as playing the other modes.
