Don't see why it's solo only... I could understand it when groups were mixed with solo, that gave them an unfair advantage, but that's obviously not an issue anymore.

Note: I mostly run solo anyway.

For balance purposes obviously... it's likely another way for them to track stats for PUG drops v Team drops.

Are the rewards are cumulative?

After 50 wins you get the mech bay, 7 days premium and 6.5 million cbills?

Or if you only want the mech bay you have to stop after 10 and before 20?

Stop when you want to dude... keep playing for more rewards!

[DarthPeanut]

Interesting challenge. I kind of wish we could bank the premium time since I cannot play during the week very much but not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

this is going to be impossible to do

[mack sabbath]

Yeah, the premium time not being banked but cashed in all at once after grinding a long time to get it? Another challenge I won't be bothering with. Good luck, however to those who do!

[0bsidion]

Looks good.

Hmmm. Winning a match as a PUG is perhaps the hardest thing to do.

Did you miss the part where it was called a challenge? It wouldn't be much of a challenge if it were easy would it?

A bit disappointed this is a solo only event. What's wrong with winning while in a group?

yea, totally agree... encouraging teamwork by a "win" condition, but not allowing teams to achieve these? kinda meh, but well... synchdrops reborn

Not impossible, just will take lots of grinding.

Having done the tournament last week I dunno if I will take the time to go for the 50 but I probably will do the 10 and 20.

[RavensScar]

In some ways, it feels like the rewards are back-to-front. My usual drop buddy is a newer player who would love 6.5M CB, as it would get her another Griffin. But most of the players who are going to drop enough to get 50 wins are probably going to have 100+M CB already banked.

Still, not going to complain about 10 wins for a 'bay.

[DONTOR]

Die hard pugs are LOVING this! Ill probably jst get the 20 though...

I'm more than a bit disappointed that it's solo only.

over the last few days...I've had nothing but loss after loss after loss...

I'm already at like 0 and 6 since 1pm....

Thanks for challenge.

I have to say I much preferred last weeks system of kills and assists.

PUG victories is a step backward.

[KHETTI]

Let the weekend of inevitable sync-dropping commence!.

[McMatt]

Since I'm noob I don't really know how to do that. Is that one must take down enemy mech 100 % alone or is there something else?

[The Gruntmaster 6000]

I WILL WIN THIS

[Spheroid]

My body is ready.

[Heffay]

Hmm.. did Gmanacus write that blurb? Seems a lot like his style!

No. But apparently you missed the fact that I was remarking, and not complaining.

[Jody Von Jedi]

I can't believe all the QQ.

QQer: "20 kills is too hard, encourages kill stealing. We need a challenge that encourages team play."

PGI: "OK, get 10 wins, get a free mech bay."

QQer: "Wha, Wha, groups aren't allowed. whaaaa, whaaaa." (runs and hides behinds mommy's skirt)

You just can't please everyone. So don't worry, PGI, keep up the good work. I like what you've done here. It's something different for a change.

No your team has to win.
