I was happily farming my points this evening and collecting them at a decent pace. This was the first day I've had chance to play Warframe during this event and I was told by a rl friend that the event was going on for 3 more days so I was relaxing.

Further into the evening 16 points were needed. It took 3 hours to get from 74% completion to 90% completion and I thought my chilled out evening was safely in the bag.

... Then USA came online...

For every mission I ran, the completion percentage went up by 2-3%

=O

I had to do crazy fast speed runs for my last few missions. I was coordinating on Skype with two good friends who play this game and we had a random fourth member who was a great team player and seemed to get the vibe of what we were doing.

The adrenaline was pumping as I knew that the seconds were ticking away and every misplaced jump from every team member was costing precious seconds. RunRunRUN was a phrase repeadedly heard through everyone's headsets.

The completion counter said 99%... I had managed it. The last mission was speed-run through pure force of habit and momentum. I finished it with 102 points.

The endorphines rushed through all of us when we realised it was a successful evening and one of the best evenings we'd had playing this game.

I truly feel disappointed for those who just missed the magic 100 points for the awesome pistol mod, but I hope that those people enjoyed the thrills. Just remember that these mods are not intended to be unique to this event. They will be available in the game through some mechanism at a later date. The event, the fight, the buzz was only for early access to these mods... and for fun. Games are intended to be fun and if they aren't then either take a break for a few days or find another hobby that you do find fun.

Peace.
