69 commentsThis is an advance notice for all pilots that we will be running a Community Warfare event from June 30th until July 6th! This Event will have a strong focus on Unit-based warfare, but there will be a Personal Challenge.
Full details of the Event will be posted on Monday, but we want to provide you with some of the core components in time to assist you or your Unit leadership toward making an informed decision regarding which Faction and/or Unit will claim your allegiance for this Event.
Keep in mind that breaking a Faction Contract still requires a Cooldown period of 72 hours before you'll be able to forge a new Contract. This advance notice is thus also intended to provide you or your Unit leadership enough time for that Cooldown period to expire if you wish to forge a new Contract with another Faction.
The Event will be comprised of three Challenge components:
- A Unit-based Event Point Challenge
- A Unit-based Planet Capture & Hold Challenge
- A Personal Event Point Challenge
There will also be three Leaderboard components to this Event, catered specifically toward Units:
- Planet Ownership Leaderboards, by Unit
- Overall Event Point Leaderboards for Inner Sphere and Clan, by Unit
- Specific Event Point Leaderboards for each individual House and Clan, by Unit
There will be two ways to earn Event Points during this Event, so you'll have the chance to earn up to 2 Event Points per match:
- Attain a match score of 80 or above in Invasion or Counter Attack = 1 Event Point
- Attain a match victory = 1 Event Point
If you are in a Unit (no matter the size) any Event Points you attain will count toward both the Unit-based Event Point Challenge and the Personal Event Point Challenge.
Important information:
- Pilots will need to attain a total of 10 Event Points by the end of the Event in order to qualify for any Rewards resulting from their Unit's placement in a Leaderboard
- We recommend that you stay with the same Faction for the duration of the Event to maximize your potential Leaderboard rewards
- Event Points attained will count toward both the Unit-based Event Point Challenge and the Personal Event Point Challenge if you are in a Unit (of any size) during this Event
- If you are not in a Unit, you will only be able to attain Personal Challenge Event Points
-
Support services will not be able to perform manual Contract cancellations on behalf of players or Units for this Event
That's it for today MechWarriors, but keep an eye out for the full Event details on Monday!
