Faction Play Event Issues Work Around

Greetings MechWarriors,

Our Current '3 Flavors of Faction Play' Event has entered its second phase where players should be able to play as:

  1. Freelancer (through the call to Arms UI)
  2. Mercenary (with a House Davion or House Steiner Contract)
  3. House Davion or House Steiner Loyalist
The March 20th Patch removed penalties associated with breaking contracts/switching factions in an attempt to allow more flexibility with the type of events we were running.  With this specific event, our intention was for players to switch to one of the above 3 criteria, putting aside loyalty in order to experience 2 days of IS vs IS and Clan VS Clan combat. 
Unfortunately, an issue has popped up that's hindering players from participating in this IS vs IS section of the event as intended. 

While this issue is currently under investigation, the following workarounds are recommended to all who wish to participate.

Workarounds
Freelancer:
This is currently working as intended for all Freelancers, so feel free to participate in this Event by responding to the 'Call To Arms' notifications as intended.

Mercenary:
Make sure you've selected either a 'House Davion' or 'House Steiner' Contract
Now from the 'Inner Sphere Map,' please select the 'Event Details' tab from the 'Conflicts Panel' (as shown in the screenshots below)
In the 'Event Details' window, please select the 'Go Now' option (as shown in the screenshots below)
From here you'll be able to select 'Fight Now' for Invasion or 'Scout Now' for Scouting as intended

Loyalist:
Make sure you've pledged allegiance to either 'House Davion' or 'House Steiner'
Now from the 'Inner Sphere Map,' please select the 'Event Details' tab from the 'Conflicts Panel' (as shown in the screenshots below) 
In the 'Event Details' window, please select the 'Go Now' option (as shown in the screenshots below)
From here you'll be able to select 'Fight Now' for Invasion or 'Scout Now' for Scouting as intended

Here are some screenshots to help identify where the 'Event Details' and 'Go Now' buttons are located:

Go Now


Apologies about the extra steps here as we're looking into getting a fix up for this as soon as we can. As soon as we have more information about a possible fix, we'll make sure to update this page accordingly. 

Thanks for understanding.
