Is the reward injected after each match where the conditions was fulfilled?

[simon1812]

Event is kinda being ruined by newbies...they are just terrible...tier 1 players should be barred from event queue...or I dont know ...maybe players that only have 3 months playing MWO? PGI can tell better whats appropriate.

-no, it will get old fast, as an occasional event is better.

They could for sure expand upon it. But 4 drops in quick play matches is bomb

i really like the map but my warhawk invasion prime variant is invulnerable at the start of the match and it runs at 97 kph without speed tweak, not good

edit: ah yes i read the thing, weird

I gotta ask. Are there 20 people with 4 battle ready 100-ton mechs online at the same time? Coz i've been "searching" for an event game for 10 minutes and nothing shows up.

[Viltor]

After 15 minutes of waiting I finally got into 10v10 100 ton assault 4-drop deck game. And it sucked. Alot.
Assault mechs are slow, and Bearclaw map is big, not a good combination.

I would like to think so but no, just so many ppl sucking so bad right now, too many onesided QP matches where players go about their own way or contribute nothing before dying, but 4 drops will make it better? ...no it wont, it will just make a bad/boring match be a painfully-long-bad/boring match.

I do welcome more new game modes, if PGI can come up with them.

-so? that doesnt mean anything, I dont know if sucking bad for your team is your idea of fun, I do know that one sided matches are the product of newbies, no way around that.

So the event queue doesn't state there is a group limit size, but in every drop except for 6v6 Canyon network, and the first map stated, every other map has given an error for a group of even 2 people.

It would be great if PGI fixed this oversight. Alot of us like to play with our buddies, and this forces ALOT of people to just go back to QP because we won't leave our buddies behind. I think thats a HUGE reason you find these events have limited people playing, yet Canyon network 6v6 was insta drops the entire time. Better off to just go back to QP, these weird events generally aren't that great... just wish they would do an event of regular faction style drop decks on quick play or even the 6v6 canyon was awesome. It's like they can't see the winning recipe and run with it. Shrug

[XxMizeryxX]

Im not playing in the event because: we cant play as a small group.

[XxMizeryxX]

even the streamers and devs in this game arent playing "event queue." beacuse they would have to disband their teams. WTF PGI

Everyone starts somewhere. No need to be nasty to new players for being new.

I'd have to agree in that any match type that either allows a dropship of mechs or is at least 8v8 that a group size of at least two should be allowed. Main reason I'm not playing EQ right now is that I can't even group up with just one friend to play.

Drop Deck 285 Max Tonnage
cap points - 750 rly? xD

Edited by Zodie, 28 December 2023 - 11:12 AM.

[Zeraq]

Whoever choose conquest as a game mode and set the points at 750 is not that smart...

[MechWarrior5782621]

The problem with 8v8 event queue is that the wait times are too long, and you can't see how many people are in the queue. So, you don't know how long the wait is going to be, and you can't see if the # of players in queue is increasing or not.

The event sucks, PGI should have stuck to the basics...

6v6
8v8
10v10

6v6 groups of 2
8v8 and 10v10 open to groups of 4


Regular 12v12 drops with up to 4 man groups. Add in 4 drop drop decks sometimes so you get the FP experience but just in QP

They also tend to use the same maps on the events which is also kinda like damn this map again for hours on end. We never see River City, Crimson, Forest Colony, Vale, or really just anything freakin' other than Rubelite or Vitric so much.

Those 6v6 Canyon matches were insta-drops that night during the event even at 2-3-4am Eastern Time, usually at that point it's dead and I can wait sometimes quite a few minutes for QP matches, but with that 6v6 it was instant all night nonstop.... You would think PGI has stats on this, and it's so obvious that their making it NO GROUP for the event basically kills it. So many of us play in groups. The one guy above said it perfectly, even the streamers aren't wasting their time on this event. I just wish they would listen more openly for once. I don't know why we can't have something like

12v12
Emerald Vale
Skirmish
Groups up to 4
Drop Deck Max Tonnage 285
3x C-Bills and XP
25 Minute Match

8v8
Canyon Network
Domination
Groups of 4
3x C-Bills and XP
10 Minute Match

6v6
Crimson Strait
Conquest
Max Tonnage 70
Groups of 2
3x C-Bills and XP
10 Minute Match

Some examples above of what I think the community would really rally around, leave out the armor buffs, the jesus level jump jets (that stuff is for kids), and all the other nonsense. Just having this dynamic breathes some new life into a game in which the only thing we have is QP over and over and over again... It's nice to see an event, but it sucks to not be able to participate in it because I know I won't leave my buddies behind, and I know many others who have said the same. Not sure why more don't come on the forum and post their positive or negative feedback.

[Fat Larry]

Seeing as people are moaning about the events can i complain about the launch button not appearing after i've died and gone back to the mechlab for another match in another mech? It often gets stuck on rejoin even after changing mechs or loading into various areas etc and will take me back into my dead mech even if i've selected another. Super annoying and usually takes a while to resolve before it'll let me queue for another match.

It was like this for the last few events....
