Greetings Mechwarriors!

We have a new Event Queue schedule built around the new conquest game settings!

Modifications

• Conquest has had it's rules modified for this special Event
• In this event queue, the points required to win Conquest will be 2000
  
• The Match time is lengthened
• NOTE:Conquest has been removed from voting in Quickplay due to these rule modifications and will return to normal play next patch

As a reminder for those playing the Fire Moth event, the challenges count in Event Queue but the leaderboard event does not!

We hope you enjoy! Also, stay tuned for our new Solaris Reborn Event Queue tournament in March!

SECOND!!! and wohohoo color me curious! looking forward to this.

[ENOVA]

nice, nice

[Ralph Edwards]

Looks fun!

[Chound]

There is something I must have missed. What is the max group entry. if it's 3 does that mean we have three groups of 12? I hope there will be an increased number of buckets so the wait times will be kept low. I hope this will encourage more people to play the objective rather than kill all the enemies

Hello!

• Alpine Peaks
  
• Conquest
  
• 12v12
  
• Max Group 4
  
• 300 4 Mech Drop Deck
  
• 40 Minutes
  
• 3X C-Bill and XP earnings

Is it possible to add more mechs to the drop deck? Because I got the impression that 40 minutes and 2000 tickets conquest is too much for 4 mech drop deck.

I think you kinda missing the point of this whole thing...we are supposed to play and find out, theory-crafting is over for the time being.

PS

just tried a match, the timer is irrelevant (it could be 100 hrs it doesnt matter its not the point), out cap first, out gun second, 4 mechs drop deck seems more than suitable, also the limit is 200 tonnes? sooo yeah, lightx2, mediumx1, assaultx1.

[simon1812]

personally Im liking it so far, the rhythm is different ...like it does feels less of a gimmick than before. would like for this to be the new conquest.

It's going to repeat in a couple days, check the schedule.

Thanks for putting on this EQ, it's been very unique and fun

[ShogunKid]

I'm loving this version of conquest!! Thanks for the creativity of the event queue!!

[Swampgazz]

Played the Hibernal Rift from 10pm 22 - 10am 23. Played 12 rounds and all losses, and all but two were total wipes 0 - 6. There is no way that happens by accident. So is it just the enemy that has the 3x armor? I'm not the best player but I'm not the worst ether lol. Did anyone win? Other than the opposing team apparently, lol.

-Don't get me wrong I have been loving the whole event thus far, LOADS of FUN! Thank you MWO for the fun, the bling, and the #Sweetazz XP !!!

-did they communicate? thats kinda important in this game mode, at the very least it does make the difference. if everyone in your team goes about their own business yeah expect a loss.

PS

just had a match where an entire lance of assaults went around trying to chase a light, guess what happened? they were flanked, overwhelmed, and destroyed by the opposing team which didnt suffer a single loss, so it became a 12vs8 match from then on, no too hard to imagine what happened next.
my point is, a lot of ppl out there are bad at this game and the matchmaker thinks their deserve to be grouped in the same team, until they learn. and this happens in every game with MP so not sure whats to be shocked about.

[LordNothing]

i feel like i should have played it more than one drop. but i figured id wait for a better map, and when the day came i just played the forever winter instead.

[shadow cat]

I played today for 3hours long this event, fantastic event I hope you do more often. (The use and abuse of boating beam lasers were a bit anoying but I also boated 10 of it in a SR).

PD. It was also the firts time since I upgraded my computer that the game crassed twice times in half an hour and another drop member didn't spawn so in my lance we were only 3.

Still super cool event!
