The 8v8 Dropship event on forest that just happened was the most fun I've had in the game in a while. Hope there's more like it in the future.

[Tarzan of Barsoom]

How about bringing back Escort mode for a round of the event? Can't be any worse than this Alpine Peaks snooze fest currently going on.

Grant it I dislike some of the map/mode combos (Alpine map, ugh. HPG/Skirmish, sniper snooze fest). But hey! It's nice to have a mix of maps with Vanilla 8v8 drop-deck Skirmish!
It would be really great to get Faction Play Tickets for Domination and Conquest. Drop-Deck Conquest is top notch fun!

[CrustyMech]

Conquest in the desert! Just not limited to one weight class.

[Strelok7]

Past:
Really enjoyed the Alpine Peaks during the event. All depends on the crowd. Encouraging people to go to a different fight zone is the key.

Next:
Conquest
More time
12v12
Alpine
Lights
Speed tweak+
Clan and IS

[Odwalla]

This was an awesome event, thank you for the EQ! Lots of variety and you all pretty much hit the gist of everyone's suggestions (not an easy task). Thank you Daeron Katz!

[Biene Maja]

More 1v1/2v2 modes please, less modifiers please, less dropdecks please

Canyon Network or Solaris City
+50% Armor

25 Minute Match

I think you guys should implement seasonal play. See who could get the most C-Bills in a a week or a few months or something. You could give C-Bill bonuses for playing crappier mechs rather than dealing too much with quirks that can't fix hitbox issues.

We kinda had that back when Solaris ran. "A few months" is too much, the sweet spot seems to be 2-3 weeks.

[Besh]

Solaris 1v1 or 2v2, 4 Leagues (Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault), TrialMechs only .

RIP Event Queue
You were bestest queue
You will be missed
Until we meet again

[simon1812]

What if the drop ship gets closer to the circle after the first drop? It is annoyingly for a domination match to end only because the 100 tonners didnt reach the circle in time while still having drops left for plenty of fight...foe future events of course, Im aware the current event is over.

[Killer Kellaine]

First, you guys are doing great. Love the event ques!!!

I like the any mech ones, 4vs4, 8vs8. What about 12vs12. Give our newer mechwarriors a taste of what we use to have.


I would really liket to see a 12vs12 with unlimited ammo and +50% armor on a large map. any mode or random mode. Though I would suggest single mechs for each player.

Team play is what first attracted me to MWO. now the best team play is a lance with other lances / individuals added in. There is very little sense of true team work anymore.

OK i'll get off my soap box.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[Killer Kellaine]

Will EQ be returning soon?

love it

AMEN!

The chance to have some fun in this game is dropping by the day!

Having some nice battles with good teamwork and a close outcome (9-12/12-9 or better! Don't care about WIN or LOSS !!!) is very rare these days...

[JPeiper]

Had a fun day at last assault only events, I'll play these "all day" as we can have a tactical match with no deathball caused by op lights. Having these events will help stop players quitting MWO due to the above.
Try to keep match size to > 4 vs 4 and just one mech, not a drop deck as if one player drops out the team has a big promlem for 15 ish minutes, single mech game -no real hassle.
Don't bother with drop deck tonnage as we may as well play QP, sounds a good idea but look at the mods in mech 5 removing it...just keep it to weight class pls.
Pls don't give us unpopular maps like bearclaw/solaris/hellbore/alpine that prevent the use of whole classes of weapons or play styles, best to go for maps all mech types can play like tour,grim,hpg,rubbellite and river. Size not really a problem, mining collective is always fun.
Apart from weight I can't see IS/Clan restrictions to be any good, it's good to have the different play styles of IS/Clan.
Mech type restricton (hero/ledg etc will just exclude players-unless Pir wants to force pay to win / play on us.
Using events as a place where "older" mech heads can play ( I tend not to play QP now) without the COD style light gamepaly will retain those players who would otherwise leave for good, which does none of us any good.

[LastDutchHero]

Okay hear me out...

I just want to do the CRAZIEST event possible.

1 drop, 100 ton mechs only, 100% more armour, 1,25x mech speed, unlimted ammo, no heat, infinite JJ's, 30 minute match

You can see where i am goin' with this...
