Read about it here: https://www.mechspecs.com/threads/mw-o-phoenix-rising-event.9335/ I am curious whether the Sabre package will be available as well then, but I'd guess 'yes' as during the event all SIX phoenix mechs are viable for scoring.
Yes. Just looked at it, and the Sabre 'Mechs are listed on the leaderboards. So I'm leaning Lolcust, Griffin, or Wolverine.
The BLR-1G(P) has been my most played mech for the past two months, so I'll just keep on with it. Maybe drop a few times in my trusty ol' SHD-2H(P) a bit too, though the SHawks got the short end of the stick when it came to quirks.
We'll see how much competition there is, but these are all the builds I plan on running (minus a MG Locust if I ever get around to it) Spoiler: LCT-1V Spoiler: SHD-2H Spoiler: GRF-1N Spoiler: WVR-6R Spoiler: TDR-5S and i'm REALLY indecisive on what 1G build to bring... I used to run the first one A LOT, but the others look pretty good now as well. It's been over a year since i've played the thing... Spoiler: BLR-1G
I'm not going to grind to get on the leaderboards, on the founder event I finished within the top 200 but that was with ten good games. I'd have to grind a lot more to get ten great games and have a shot at the higher placements.
I'll dig out my Battlemaster. Needs refitting any way. Event sucks though. Grind kills so PGI will re-release a limited time only package for those that were not around/strap for cash/whatever.
I am still contemplating taking part in the leaderboard challenge or just skipping the grind. I'd probably skip it short of doing the personal challenge... but not sure yet.
I have 2 birthday parties this weekend. Luckily the WVR is one of my best mechs. I may register without actually grinding We'll see soon enough
On the overall event, i like these, no pressure, makes you appreciate buying things (like an added thank you), and even if you didn't, you get some Cbills and items. A nice chill event.
I don't mind exciting events, but I think most of the regular events should be like this... simple fun things everyone can have a go and reasonable goals (though I think 50 point would be better, 30 point is basically a steal for anyone playing).
12th spot so far without much effort (did my 20 points and then some,...) musn't be that many phoenix pilots around I presume?
Several hundreds in every category... I can tell because I did like 4 to 6 games on the Shadowhawk and TDR respectively yesterday and was like 275th this morning.
It's a BLR with an XL400. ALL THREE large lasers were crit out of my one side torso. Crazy random crit chances considering I was still alive at that moment!
Well, that's really strange. Non of those I can find on the official forums do have a 'BANNED' tag (yet). Wilhelmtell is still on the leaderboards, but he's on 19th at the moment with about 650 points less.
My guess is some calculation error. Dliberately put off playng with the Phoenic after a 15 point match to see how many people are playing. Was ranked 11xx. So I guess there are many Phoenix players around, and yes that is a Battlemaster.
