So I just randomly went to my stats and under challenges I found this interesting new thing called :
Assault And Conquer Challenge

It also displays the bullet in a chain accessory for your cockpit - and is schedueled for June 11th 5:00 pm UTC.
Yet I cant seem to find any other information on this matter...

Well anyway I just found it interesting and wanted to share it with you all :b

Edit: it has been made official now, the challenge is 10 wins in Assault and 10 wins in Conquest - making it 20 Wins in total.

probably lame like the "play 25 gaes" only "play 10 of each" or "win 10 of each".

They run these on the weekend before patch because the population is so low.

Sadly I have to agree that it is most likely going to be an easy one...
The price is pretty pointless aswell as it is.

However the name of the ¨challenge¨ has me wondering if it is going to be all about Assaults as in Mechs or perhabs Assault and Conquer as in win X amount of both game types.

Maybe it'll be a "Get 50 Kills in an Assault Mech" challenge. Or "Get 25 Capture Wins in Assualt" which would be super trolly of PGI and I'd salute them for it.

[Chemie]

you win the bullet

Do I have to bite the bullet?

I wouldn't call a premium item that you'd have to buy WITH REAL CASH otherwise "pointless".

If they did what most of the other F2P dev teams did we would have pointless "kill 40% of the enemy team and you get +15000 credits" or "successfully cap 80% of the enemy cap ALONE for +1500 XP" challenges like World of Tanks (the former prize is hard to get and not worth the effort and the latter is so valuable that it results in extremly awful gameplay as almost any player will try to rush cap the enemy flag LIEK MAD and will either get shot to pieces or not get the price at all because multiple people of your team cap at once (which results in none getting that price)) or no challenges at all. The guys at Piranha are definitely the only dev team I know that hands out permanent premium prizes for non tournament playing gamers (that's most of the player base) and I really like that. It gives the challenge a meaning and it will make you feel proud for accomplishing the challenge (and not all of us are uber pros or even people spamming the most effective cheese atm who steamroll the opposition in 20 matches, many of us will have to play 40+ matches to get that bullet) whenever you see your premium thingy you fought for hanging in the cockpit. It's also nice that the prize is available for all players: even if you suck or are someone new to Mechwarrior or can't play much because of your job you can still get that prize.
Its a solid strategy of PG to get more people playing.

Anything that doesnt give you any benefit or makes any difference ingame is considered a ¨pointless¨ thing in my book.
(yes that goes for camo / patterns / interior aswell though the items are pretty to look at - no doubt about that - they still are pretty ¨pointless¨ in my oppinion)

I would prefer C-bill events ANY day.
I say C-bills since I am well aware that PGI is unlikely ever to make small events yield MC.
(they have their major ¨opt in¨ events for that.)

Wont get to complete this one like the last one, working 12 hours a day during the week, I don't get a lot of chance to play, and being a lone-wolf, my chances are pretty low in the time allowed....oh well

[Darkwing_Duck]

Ok, my complaint.
I am one short on the Assault.
I came back with 5 minutes, and the server was offline.
oh well, probably would not have made it anyway.
