    Overall a very nice event. 12 games @ 80 points isn't' asking too much for the rewards. The system for the (I) mech challenge was a good idea as well. I expect a similar one for the (R) ones next weekend.

    Well in fairness it only worked in a group from what I could see..

    Russ was giving similar replies all weekend...but TBH, it kinda pissed me off every time. "You made a choice to want to play with a group of friends, you could always just abandon them and play by yourself instead!" Ok, you're the guy who has said, repeatedly, that CW is intended for groups. So your option when these events come about is to give that up and go solo, which you've always said is going to be the least fun and productive way to enter CW.

    I don't even know how to respond to that...

    Was supposed to go in the sale topic, but I posted in this one. Found the link to the quirks and I agree.

    Anyway, I had S, went with B and A CT, I find the unique -5% overheat damage from P quite useless for my playstyle. And 5% is nothing on overheat damage in general as well, I prefer mobility quirks; maybe I could select the P instead of S if I didn't already have enough exp to master the S, but still it would be 3rd choice, I think I will run all the builds on the B once I master the chassis.

    I already had the prime arms too, will still need P legs on the poptarter.

    Quite the nice event and easy pickings for collectionists like myself. Out of 13 drops, 12 qualified and 1 was a ghost drop. I had completed the challenge by Sunday morning :)

    @That Dawg @Durandal

    That whole twitter thread was such a train wreck. I sat there and thought... you really didn't put that did you?!?!?!?

    Need 13 drops to get all the requirement.

    Did around 20 in the end. Lots of ghost drops on the last day. Good cbills from ghostdrops though.

    I'm wondering what prompted the change in length, as I haven't seen any bitching on the forum or twitter about the event being too short. Are they just trying to boost their Clan CW numbers?

    CW is a trainwreck. I love it, I really do, make a butt ton of cbills, MC, and other stuff this weekend, millions...
    just tried to get a game....30 minutes while doing some work week chores and we'd get close, que would fill up and then......back to 3-4 waiting?
    pffft. ran pugs instead. I need to play, not wait...ffs...I'm 56..this is a GAME I like, NOT a lifestyle.

    Yeah I tried to head back in but I really don't see the point of queuing as a pug currently for CW - its just an exercise in getting bumped repeatedly.

    Thanks I have better things to do!

    I think for the most part they should have a queue just for Clan vs IS, unless merc groups want to fight amongst themselves.
    Doing Clan vs IS and there would be enough numbers.

    What I mean is, a GIANT BUTTON that says "Just throw me in as Clan vs IS game" And your loyalty decides the IS/Clan part.

    It is easier for PUGs.

    That said. I with they keep messages for everyone so they can read older ones when they log in. I find that fraction chat works well in calling for people on a planet.

    Was being Clan for the event, being in the smaller clans, the Smoked Kitty!
    I always think Smoke Jaguar is related to this btw:
