Huh... This was not what I meant when I was talking about executing the next Event Queue item better than the previous. I guess someone must be upset at the community then? It's possible that happens to be a total misreading on my part. *facedesk*

EDIT :: FIRST!!!

I could possibly bet you would have made a bigger & better-typed posting if they had put in larger WarHorn counts, Hanging Item counts, and (MC) chunks to earn alongside everything else there. But it certainly is possible I'm being excessively critical after what bad things I've heard from solo players trying to have enjoyable Matches over there.

Thx, PGI.

two things:

1 yay!
2 the salt must flow.

Thank you, MWO!

(By the way, does any of the cockpit item rewards have +5% CBills bonus?
Or are these all cosmetic?)

[DeathDream]

Exciting! Always good to see some faction play events. Awesome rewards too. Thanks!

[The Chancelor]

Switched back to qp and voila, 8 Minutes later I was able to play again

For this additional Winterfest 2024 Faction Play Event which they decided to launch, very literally NONE of the available Rewards provide any attributable (C-Bills) Boost to enjoy by equipping them. That said, if you want to enjoy Faction-based content in your Cockpit item spaces, then one can only hope you have fun, even if I don't have any.

Those excessive freakish Queue Times are the primary thing which ruined Faction Play for me. That and the loss of Scouting Mode as an alternate item alongside. I still remember a spot in Late 2017 where it was time to wait for some Invasion Match being assembled, and that waiting ended up ruining me. It ended up being basically the last time I would try jumping into Invasion-Type Queue ever again, as merely any thought about waiting too long and being ruined again left me feeling sick. (I'm going to ask that nobody ever pokes me for any additional details regarding my memory of such time.)

I’m a solo FP player and while matches are brutal at times, the requirements for the swag are very low so I’ll give it a go.

Good hunting,

Fantastic. Thanks PGI. Faction play is really the only enjoyable game mode the game has. If people have to be bribed to get them to play (to be fair I have to be bribed to play quick play), so be it.

Essentially, the event requires you to play five FP games. And in the course of playing those five games, you do that required 5000 damage.

Played my five matches. Solid payoff, no complaints. First four were Domination. Drop deck domination, all different maps, good fun. Fifth was Siege. It reminded me why I don't play FP. Siege is trash. Siege was always trash.

Yup, did it in five matches. Wait times for solo weren't too long, good mix of players, Domination matches were fun.

Of course I wasn't matched against any big units, only the odd member of Emp or Gnx but in my opinion the event if definitely worth a try if you've never played FP.

Good hunting,
