First kill I got, and first KMD...was on a Cyclops.

Been over an hour...and I still haven't gotten my chesspiece...and some other rewards...

Okay-got it! Took awhile...

Feature request: Add a "Cyclops Spotted" command to the Command Wheel for the duration of the event

What is needed is an event to get people engaged on the PTS. This can wait a week...but it won't.

I wholly agree. But I believe a problem is that the PTS account isn't linked in any way to your actual MWO account, right?

YEAH Prime the new mechs wich are leveling.......GG close.

I mean the time you'd need to finish most of these upcoming challenges seems a lot shorter to me than compared to the last event, which was for all four weight classes. The last event seemed to me to have lasted quite a bit shorter and iirc didn't even start on what for me would have been Friday evening, but closer to midnight.

This (Cyclops) event seems to need less overall playtime to achieve the given challenges, but gets more days to achieve it in and includes Friday evening in my timezone. The 4 weight class (weight of the world or something) event from last week did not. I thought that a bit of a shame.

No kidding. I don't know who the heck comes up with these things but they need to go back to the drawing board. YOUR DOING IT INCORRECT!!!

This is for one mech with what one extra step. Yet it gets 3 extra days over the 4 different mech's in the last challenge. Yep that makes a TON of sense.

PGI here is your PRO TIP:
1 mech only a weekend like the last event was.
4 mech's then give it the week time your giving this 1 simple mech.

Making the Mech that your paying customers are leveling a priority target for your non-paying players...?!

I didn't buy a Cyclops Pack. But I'm constantly astonished by the things PGI fails to think through.

I finished off all the rewards long ago except for the most damage dealt on a cyclops. Finally I just looked around for the nearest cyclops (seemed sort of hard to find so assuming they were hiding) and charged in for a suicide kill. Cyclops taken out, woot woot.

So yes, we are hunting cyclops....

Now if only their will be a weekend event to kill assault lrm boats....

After a bit of thought, I think their intention was to perhaps present some satisfaction to people that didn't/wouldn't/couldn't buy the Cyclops for one reason or another. And/or attempt to appease the "OMG P2W" crowd (a futile exercise in frustration at the best of times, but they're making attempts I suppose?)

[Herodes]

I think putting a bounty on the shiny new toys of paying customers is bad style and might have been funny in an environment that works and has a satisfied playerbase.

You bought a Cyclops didn't you ?

[Herodes]

No, I did not.
I am King Crab only. Or almost so.

[Appogee]

It might have been ok if they also made something extra available to Cyclops customers.

Eg. KMD a heavier Mech and the Cyclops pilot gets some kind of special award.

Again, I didn't buy a Cyclops so it makes no difference to me. I'm just suggesting how PGI could/should have done it from a customer satisfaction perspective.

[Bishop Six]

Bad thing in Leaderboard are these big numbers of 2nd Accounts. Skilled pilot starts in Tier 5 and gets so good matchscores you can never reach in normal way.

You dont believe this? I tested it.

[Morggo]

For those that got the 'clops KMDD and reward... are you showing it as completed on your tournament goals?

I was 90% certain I got the KMDD on a clops last night, waited a while and got the chess knight item injected... but this morning still shows 0 of 1 in my goals. Wondering if it's just a display bug with the new goal....

[MarsThunder]

PGI, there should be one more achievment for this event: Cyclops killed.

... You already need to get KMDD on a 'clopz, what more ya want?


I personally would love to see them run an event in either a split mode (solo and group) or pure solo just to see if the same guys bubble up to the top...

I know some will, but others....

10 cyclops solo kills
PS. Sorry, missed it.

[DGTLDaemon]

Well, I don't know why you guys are so pissed off about the Cyclops KMDD objective. I've just completed it, and it was one of the most satisfying kills in my mechwarrior career - outtrading a dakka Cyclops in a dual peeps Shadowcat at sub-300 m range (was almost a brawl), and delivering the killing blow on top of it Normally I wouldn't even try something like that, because it put me a serious disadvantage, but the event gave me incentive to take the risk and actually push and kill the guy. It's a nice added twist to the usual routine of "grind XXX damage to get YYY C-Bills". And there's nothing preventing the cyclops pilots from trying to kill those who try to kill them
