Spoiler

So, the best performing units can get specialized rewards, but there are individual perks and rewards as well. 40 points gets you a free Banshee or Warhawk, which I'll definitely be working for, though I'm not sure which I'd actually want...I don't have either chassis, and it would be a good excuse to change that. Overall, looks fun, I just hope I'll have the time to actually play it. Weird start time though...must be when the cease fire is coming on Friday.

 

40 CW matches in 3 days ? Sure...not.

Would have loved the WHK-C tho for free.

 

Bleeeeeech. I will gun for what I can, but holy cow that's a lot of CW matches in a very short time. Life + work is just not going to allow for that. Chalk up one more challenge on the 'not stressing it' list.

 

I'm pretty sure I haven't played 40 games since CW was launched, 4 or 5 months ago

 

Jep, those event times are a real pain in the A$$ for european players. But on monday we can play until 10:45 pm CET

40 or even 50 points are going to be hard to get. 80 matchpoints aren`t a real problem, but ~14 to 18 CW matches per day (all qualifying) mean goodbye to real life... [50 Matches per 30minutes mean 25 fine hours of CW, ~8,5 hour per day, NOPE]

 

Yeh, I shall be partaking in the battle for turkeylurkey. But I will not be stressing out, as much as I would love either free mech I just won't have the time.

 

If you will get games almost instantaneously (and with this event this will be the case) and you will be stomping peeps with a 12 man you can have around 3 games per hour, so if you are from EU and you take Monday off, you only need 6 hours of game play a day, doable.
My wife will hate me, and she already thought that i'm over MWO as i was not playing it since Easter.

 

44 drops (including 10% fail rate) at 30 minutes per game = 22 hours of playing over the course of a fully booked weekend,...
Anyone know any good relationship counsilors?

 

5 Event Points: Battle of Tukayyid Participant Banner
Will get this at least.

Maybe go for the 40 point if I am lucky.

 

EVENT EXTENDED TILL THURSDAY 30TH, my marriage stil has a chance, oh thank you PGI thank you.

 

Wut! That means I need to find more time for this. Before I dismissed it as unachievable...

 

Only got 2 drops in so far (damn work and sleep), but the matches were instant. Good times Had this round just now:



Me gusta Doubled the damage of my entire team, but they stole all my kills. I only got 3 solo kills, but 13 most damage dealt. Mwahahaha!

 

Holy crap, the IS queue is maddening. What's the point of showing you where you are in the queue if it keeps resetting you every two minutes when someone on your team inevitably drops out? Why the heck doesn't it wait until needed before creating the team? What a shitshow this has been. At this rate I may be able to get the Participated Banner as I'll only have the patience for one drop per day.

 

If anyone is part of a unit and you decide you want to switch sides, they are offering free switches to clan side to try and even up the queue numbers a bit. You have to email support to make it happen though: http://mwomercs.com/news/2015/04/1186-calling-all-inner-sphere-unit-leaders-solo-players

 

Yeah been a pathetic fiasco so far....

Who would have guessed when they changed the system to help the clan side this would happen.... hey ok yeah I told them that as did others........

 

lol. I just had the queue reset thing happen after 10 minutes and making up to number 5 to deploy.. that's really frustrating. Especially since this is actually my first time dropping CW

-edit- oh look, it just happened again.
