Hey guys! Welcome to Open-Beta!

To help everyone along and promote Trial Mechs. We are running the Trial By Fire Community Event.

Rules are simple:

TRIAL MECHS ONLY!
The drop format will be: 3 Lights (1 light per team will act as a ref) - 2 Mediums - 2 Heavies- 1 Assault
Teams will be randomly drawn
Solo players are more then welcome!

Contest will be held in 2 weeks time after we gather the player base.
All entries should be in by Nov. 13th Matches will start on the following Friday the 16th.




This event is based on the Community Poll that was running a few weeks ago. Those of you that voted should be getting invites in your PM's. But the event is open to everyone!

We have some PC Gamer codes to hand out and are working to get some other swag as well.




Sign ups will be open for about 2 weeks.

Please reply to this thread if you are interested.

Cheers,

Konrad

Right, because no one figured out the 1980's DRM to get free codes.

Great idea, however, how are you planning on dealing with the changes in matchmaking? If drops are limited to 4 mechs, how will you run the tourny.

[RogueStarX]

Great idea

Everything will be completed before Nov 20th so we can use the drop weight matching system.

Nice to see it's proving popular.

But the matchmaking system will be changed next Tuesday the 6th. Then the max group size will be 4 and I assume that means four separate groups will need to drop simultaneously instead of just two. Also changing next Tuesday is that Trial 'Mechs will be stuck in battle if the groups misdrop and exit the match right away which will throw another wrench in the works for this.

If matchmaking proves to be a problem then we will just push back to post 20th, which would be 3 days after it's initial date, so not too much of a delay.

[Konrad]

If match making becomes an issue we will push this off until it's do-able.

[Khan Warlock Kell]

Id love to be part of this. !

[Darwins Dog]

Consider me interested, this sounds like a great idea.
