Why don't you guys just give Benchwarrior a hoodie and be done with it? Why keep having events that 90% of the community can't take part in?

We're giving away 6 hoodies to 6 DIFFERENT players and a ton of GP to rank #2-50. We felt that this event would be a fun way to celebrate Steam Free Weekend. Plus there will be a ton of new players from SFW that might kick Benchwarrior's booty. Lol.

I am sorry that you feel excluded from events. :/ That's not what we are trying to promote here. What other events have we run that 90% of the community couldn't take part in?

Yeah, sure, I would love to since I'm huge fan of game, but... It doesn't work. Still nothing done with dark screen after 'loading' button and error 32512. I have everything turned off, everything done as everyone kept saying.. Nothing. Payed for game, can't play. I know it's beta, but please please please... let me play.

So the 'Free weekend' is meant to be live?

But there's no free button or anything..
steam://run/369200 just takes me to the store front, I've restarted steam, etc.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

SFW does not start until tomorrow.

Some events and sales started today due to technical reasons.

Thanks for the quick response.

The above implies SFW should start today, which is why I quoted those times, so that should probally be updated to 28th to reflect, or specify it's only for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and have reworded changing "for free while First Assault is free this weekend on Steam!" and have a seperate part specifying the SFW times.

Who's benchwarrior?
Sounds ez

[Nezarn]

nice events (the +100% exp is even better), but it sucks that im changing my ISP, so i won't have internet from tomorrow for 2-3 weeks :(

[darkermobius]

Just thought I would mention this in case anyone else runs into the same thing.

Yesterday I was receiving the base XP from each game and then an equivelant amount of bonus XP from the event going on. Now I am getting the base amount only.

Also I have noticed today that bonuses from selecting nodes (+100 gp/exp, etc) are not being applied to the game I receive them in. Also items to upgrade my operative are not being sent to the operative screen such as Agile Strafe, Rapid Recharge and Rapid Reload.

I get that the 2 100% gp items I am specifically referring to are applied to that game only. However they never were. On BOTH occasions I received the base amount from the game and that is all.

I have tried switching servers and logging out and then logging back in. I have also tried verifying the cache and insured that there was no update pending.

I have played a couple of more games since and I AM NOT receiving anykind of bonus when accessing the nodes nor the xp from the event.

Just found this odd and don't really think there is any kind of fix or anything. Like I said. More of a heads up.

Yup. After I run game and it just close I go check files and it tells me that two of them are missing (don't know which one). It kept changing my resolution of game so I changed it for my standard one, but... still nothing. And I don't know what to do anymore and GIMME MOTOKO. <3 :D

[Pyro Gourmand]

Uh, this might be a silly question, but it's a F2P game, right? So if I join the game during this weekend, I can keep my account and use it after the event ends?

Wondering about this because the access to the game is limited so far (either paying users or beta key holders).
