Sounds good to me! I'm really enjoying this new style of event where all you need is a match score of 30. It's easy enough to attain that you don't constantly have try-hards shooting you in the back to get the kill-steal or pushing foolishly to try to get their checks marked. It seems MUCH less disruptive to gameplay while still boosting active players per day. I'm a fan. Plus, FREE STUFF! PS: What the hell is with the "Unlucky Items: IS Weapons" ??? Hell, even if you don't need them, it's still extra C-Bills! Unlucky... Scummy clan-lover bastards...
LOLOLOL!!!!!! I've got about 20 LPLs in and out of mechs currently. I mean, if I win 3 more, it's still $175,000 C-Bills. It's like winning a second decent PUG match instantly. Not unlucky in my book...
It's unlucky because gifts are limited (to 25 per game mode). In another word, each single heat sink you win is a mechbay you won't win.
Ew... Okay... Good point. Didn't think about SHS. Nice catch, @epikt . I was thinking, "Hey, an LPL or AC/10 is still a decent amount of C-Bills"
Hmmm, after my first 6 unlocks, got 2 Mechbays already. Not too shabby as I don't know how much I will be able to play this week, so getting those right off the bat is pretty nice.
I don't know what it is, but people in my games are playing as dumb as they can. 6 games in a row, had my entire team split up into 4-5 different locations and we got massacred. Was a struggle just to qualify each time...weird night.
@Durandal: Yes, exactly my experience of yesterday evening. So many players playing crappy as hell (whole lance doing <50 DMG), but that were no new players. Seemed like many long paused players came back because of the new mechs / Event. The most interesting thing was, in many drops there wasn`t a single GRH or ZEU, but they ended as bad as the others. @Topic: Allready got one mechbay, 4 days of premium and some MC. Nice start (Last time I ain`t got one MB, so this event can only get better then last one)
@Durandal and @Flokoloko, I believe the weekend event turning into a week long one may have kept the "occasional" gamer around this time. I had some of those weird games but on the whole pretty good.
I started out doing this event trying to level my locusts. Unfortunately I play locusts like a massive useless turd and die quickly often achieving sweet fuck all. Four games later, I've put my locusts back into their tiny little garage and I am now leveling my Enforcers. They are excellent, sexy, Steiner paint balls of death. Only got a few games under my belt. Some MC, cbills and consumables. One day, when PGI allow you to buy mechs without equipment I will lord it over all of you with my massive stash of weapons! Haha. Cheap mechs for me!
The total after 75 bags(not done any CW yet) 280 MC 4900 GXP 2 Mech Bays Cockpit Items 3 Consumable 10 Premium time 2 1 bad luck EDIT: Also 2,375,000 cbils
