    TBH, I expected a CW event. I kinda got disappointed though...the Invasion mechs got a weekend that earned them bonus MC for playing their (I) mechs, and the Resistance mechs got...a vote for a champion mech? Big whoop. But hey, 2 warhorns for Resistance owners who play 20 games over the weekend, there's that at least.

    I might also use my GHR 5J to try for the leaderboard, but honestly, I doubt I'll have the time needed to get anywhere near the top. We'll see.

    Long story short:
    - nice, but nowhere fantastic rewards
    - 30 points in 20 games is very easy
    - poll about a (C) mech is laughable - why would you care if you already own the (R) pack or (R) mechs you wanted?
    - Playing leaderboard in crappy mechs? Big NO! GRH is fine, but the others? Meh.

    Was also hoping for a Resistance CW Event, but this one is also "ok".

    I'm a little disappointed, that F, P and R owners get the same events and same prices, but the I and G owners get loads of mc, cbills and gxp AND a new loyality boost item.

    Gonna try the Zeus and Enforcer Leaderboards, because the Grasshopper will be overrun and I play crappy with the Panther^^

    Lol good catch for some reason was thinking WVR-6R... doh!

    Guess the Panther for me as I find that fun and can quickly churn the 20.

    This is some very noble thinking. :thumbsup:

    However, I don't think the (C) mechs are worth it at all. If people want to spent money / MC for mechs, it should be hero mechs or packs / a la cart purchases. It's a nice move the (C) mechs are the trial mechs nowadays, and some do come with some very useful engines (making them a good stsrting point somehow), but the bonus they provide is pretty neglectable if you ask me.

    I'd rather help the community and especially new players by
    - improving their builds
    - teaching & showing what works
    - teaching and showing what doesn't work (and why)
    - assisting by increasing map knowledge and battlefield awareness
    - teaching basic skills for group play

    A forum like this one is very suitable for the first 3 points while dropping in a team during our (sadly not so regular) MechSpeccs drops and being on TS together can cover the latter two. On the other hand, voting / designing a (C) mech is just a very small step on a very long learning curve.

    The effective way would be to have a "newbie area" in famous MW forums like Mechspecs and noGrootnoGalaxy.
    The idea is for the newbies to ask questions, and to be paired into a smll lance of more matured players and have them learn the tools of trade through the matches.

    You learn quickly what to do and what not to, and the builds/chassis you should be moving towards depending on your style and hardware/connection restrictions.

    I would have preferred this for the clan mechs. I did not participate at all in the CW event, does not interest me in the slightest.

    Going to hit all 20 on this though, Panther(R) here I come.

    @Remarius, see you on the leader board! ;)

    Allowing group queue to participate is nice in its own way that we can play with our friends and all battles count, but we will see so much people get padded in there resistance mechs especially in larger groups.

    Founder event: reasonable and nice. The pull actually mean something.
    Phoenix event: reasonable and chill. The poll is a scam, for lack of better word.
    Clan Invasion: reasonable goals but bad idea getting everyone to turn to clan for the event.
    Resistance: reasonable and chill. The poll is complete wtf. They can at least give out a free future Champion, as most players with the package are unlikely to buy the champ anyways.

    Boom boom went the ENF-5D(R), boom went the ENF-5D(R) one day, boom boom went the ENF-5D(R) one day and the dual-UAC-5s went BOOM!

    Somehow this isn't quite as catchy as the camp song it's based on. Oh, right, and that's the wrong model to do that.

    FINE. LBX it is, then. Just don't get in my sights. Or maybe I'll just try Zeus builds.

    My solo queue matches have been decent (the few I've gotten so far)...only one with no kills, but the rest were 2+, and a nice 6 kill/850 damage round helped boost my stats. Just need to keep that sort of play up with a lot of solo kills, and I can manage it. It helps that the GHR has really been a major mech for me in all variants...I'm very comfortable with it, so I have a good feeling about my potential rankings. We'll see how that ends up working out :p
