My friend got the far east ribbon and this is his play time as China:
V L BR Play Time
China 21 26 69 10:22:23

This on the other hand is mine:
V L BR Play Time
China 56 35 101 20:42:08

Why has he got it but not me?

Referring to UBAR, u'r global time must exceed 250 hours.
Then u'll get the ribbon. What's u'r friends global playtime?

I have the Far East Ribbon service ribbon and my time does not exceed 250 hours.

I only talk about "how-to-recieve-an-award-the-normal-way".
Thank you very much for this absolute irrelevant statement.

But yes, you must have a global time of 250 hours. and I believe that's all you need... and then play on a mec map and you'll get the ribbon.. and then play on a china map and you'll get THAT ribbon.

And apparently, with all the hoopla about the server's handing these awards out like candy, UBAR will need an update in the near future.

@Slay: Hm, i didn't look up their stats and I believe in honesty
But IMO the theatre time counts, too....and has to be about 10-15 hours.....

@Chuy: Perhaps the award server is collapsing slowly.....wires are glowing....
servers entering final self-destruction mode.....shutting down

I meant UBAR doesn't show the requirements for those two ribbons.
guess I should have specified wtf I was talking about, eh? haha.

Arrgghhh!!! SSOOORRRYY!!!! U're definately 100% right m8...
I thought it was entered in UBAR....didn't verify myself.....*bump* *covering in a dark hole*
OK, but I can say: u normally get it at 250h global hours. And at a max from 10-15 hours theatre time.

But he only got 54 global hours!
Another thing, I've never got it what "hours theatre time" is. What is it?

At least there is something ging on with the awards and/or the server....we all dunno....
The "Time In Theater" is the time, you have to play with this army to get the according award....

As you can see, my "Time in Theatre" is more then his.

Obviously I did not see the he only has 50 global post.... so he got it by a unintentional computer glitch or server error. This is proven by the point that everbody else who has one of those ribbons has both. I did not check award dates but I bet they are close.

My initial post... not what you wanted but has good info anyway.
I have read it has to be over 250hrs than you get them. Specific theater time is not important. But I also heard you need 24hrs in each theater. Dunno if that means your usmc time counts. I do not have it either.... but I will pay attention and if I get it and I will post screen shot.... but that is a long time if you look at my hours.

Ok. But I don't realy care, it's only a computer game, not a life-style.

Time in Theatre is different than your play time with a specific Army. Your Time in Theatre is the total time you have played on Chinese or MEC maps regardless of which army you were a part of.

I just got the Far east service medal but the weird thing is my global hours are only about 80 hours.

but only 6 of those hours belong to china.

The Stats server must be having a Epileptic fit with all the promotions going on today that it gave me this by mistake,

caedmon153: Member; +0|7042

I received my MEC ribbon before the patch, but I'm no where near 250h.

I remember that I received it on a MEC map right around 58h MEC time (global was close to 138h or so).

MEC theatre time was around 92h.
