A question for CCP.
If I get thrown into an ongoing match, thats basically going to end in my team losing.
Will it count towards the event?
Or how about those matches that you get thrown into but they immediately end?
Which happens quite often. |

Pfft. Minmatar aren't slaves anymore. Even an Amarr like you should know that.
Besides, a rich frakker like you wouldn't know it, but duct tape can be both sexy and 100% functional. |

I like how they are doing matches you quit out of...they still count. So if you leave to try to avoid a loss (even cutting power to the PS3) you still get that loss |

Alright, being serious for a moment, is there going to be any actual tracking for this event, let people chart their progress? Anything in-game to give any hint that there is an event on, even. |

Kaimera Lodge was my NPC Corp
As for this event, I don't really care for it. There's a couple standard grade dropsuits where I already have their advanced equivalents, there's the standard grade Laser Rifle where I already have the advanced equivalent, there's the advanced Uplinks which I also already have . . . so pretty much all I'd be playing for is some swarm launchers (yawn)
Guess its cool for people who haven't already spec'd into Amarr stuff, otherwise it is yet another event that will seem like its nothings happening. |

The percentage is the tough part, because I'm usually thrown on the team that has their heads stuck up their asses, and get redlined 30 seconds after they capture their first NULL cannon. |

This event is crap. "Play more of the same stuff you've played for months for free crap you'll never use!" On top of that, it's a fact that even the best squad in the world can't make up for 10 people AFKing in the MCC.
The only decent event CCP has ever put on was the battle for Caldari Prime, and that's because it modified the maps a little bit. |

And that even if you didn't care who won, the event seemed like it was something bigger |

So CCP, how does learning from the Templar event as well as talking to the CPM lead to such a terrible worthless waste of an event?
Could somebody who thought this was a good idea comment? I cannot for the life of me see how this idiocy is the consequence of iterating intelligently on anything. Honestly it looks more like flailing about blindly trying to find something that works. |

Cross-posting this in the GD discussion of the upcoming event:
I think I need to echo the sentiment of others in this thread, in saying that the event rewards are underwhelming
What is wrong with giving rare/unique/useful rewards for participating in and completing the objectives of an event? By this, I mean things like:
- Officer Dropsuit BPCs
- Officer Weapon BPCs
- The Pink Quafe Dropsuit or other aesthetically unique dropsuits/weapons/vehicles (Pink Dropship anyone?)
- Boosters (preferably Omega )
- Unique Forum Avatars
- Aurum (with which the player can purchase things they would actually use)
You catch my drift....
These events should be good for the community and break up the monotony of the daily SP grind. Unfortunately, they fall flat because nobody cares about the prizes. I like the idea of BPCs that can be used without any skill requirements, it gives those newer players a rare glimpse into the potential power they will one day be able to wield on a regular basis, a carrot to chase. While that is a good thing, you still have to do something to keep the veteran players interested as well, which means upping the meta level on prizes and offering truly unique items. |

But how?
I agree that the items are ones you can either afford yourself or don't care about.
The Templar event failed but it at least tried something, this event isn't trying to do anything. It's just play x number of matches and get y W/L ratio for no real incentive. It's barely an event. |

The matches only count if you score 100 WP in them. If you don't score the WP like in the match scenario you just described, the match isn't counted in the event matches.
Also, two of the rewards, the laser rifle and commando suits are CCPs way to get the players to try out items that aren't really used because of bad word-of-mouth or whatever. I think they're trying to get us to give them a shot again. The two items are the laser rifle and the commando suit. And maybe the energizer module. |

The rewards aren't even worth it. I have no use for limited gear as long as there is no player mar,et which i could use to restock my fitting. And winning at lest xx% oft the matches? No can do. This is pure luck. Especially because i can barely get a squad together at all during my playtimes. I appreciate more interesting objectives, but it shouldn't depend on your team. In the end i may fight 50 matches and be on top of the leaderboards all the time but i wont get anything because i had bad luck with my team? This kinda sucks. |

so you have to have 100 WPs for the match to count? easy, just go in and out of instant battles until you find you are on a stacked team. shouldnt take long, stomp the reds, receive free stuff. or just AFK on losing teams, the match wont count if you have 0 WPs. i honestly dont care about the event, none of the rewards are for my heavy. shafted once again. |

on the plus side if you read the faq it mentions the names for instant battles will change for uprising 1.4. So hopefully 1.4 should be out before sept 5. I know we all expect it to be but this is the closest resemblence to an ETA I have heard of. |

I like how its 'Faction Contracts' now.
Sounds more merc-y.
And also sounds as if we might get something for fighting in FW. |

the answer is it wont count... YOU have to gain 100 wp for it to count... so just leave that battle... |
