this is awesome. even more so because it gives people who cant play every single day a shot at getting all the prizes too. love it. sad people manage to complain even about this, but naysayers will cry foul at anything i suppose...

im gonna be offline completely for at least 5 days during this event and have very little downtime for the rest of it due to work, and it's AWESOME to see that i still have a shot at the shineys. thanks PGI!

Are you kidding me? There's no way I can play a whole day's worth of gaming per day of this challenge. I'm not even going to ask if Russ dreamt this up.


... You mean playing three matches per day to get the grand prize?

This requires very little time per day for the top prize.

Even as a guy who can rarely do much in events, I think I can bang off a couple matches a day.

I'm really happy to see a more spread out event instead of the traditional "grind all weekend" event that l's totally impossible for me to do.

Just a couple games per day though? I'll just do med/hvy/assault, that'll get me 3 kmmd rewards and the daily showing up reward. 3 matches a day is totally doable.

Did someone say KMDD?
Look like the DireStar will be out in force.

Drop.
Hit Override.
Shoot twice.
Profit.

I had to read this three times to understand it. I feel like I should get a free challenge point for understanding the challenge.

I do like how you don't have to get anywhere near the max challenges every single day to hit the top end rewards. That's a huge bonus with October bringing playoff baseball, as well as the new hockey and football seasons. That's a lot of evenings taken up by other things all of a sudden lol :D

Is there any special reward if you completed all 85 challenges? From what I can tell from the description is that you need 40 completed challenges for 400 MC, 17 games over 80 score (1 per day) for max CBills and 12 games over 80 score (1 per day) for all 4 cockpit items.

If I'm right you need 40 completed challenges in order to get all the rewards?

It'd be nice if there were some grand reward (maybe a mech or similar) for completing all 85 challenges. Otherwise there is no need to go for all challenges :). Still its a great event :)

I like how this is structured!
It'll be nice to quickly get the challenge out of the way for the day and get back to just normal play each day. Sweet.

Rewards are nice too, double win.

Thanks, PGI. Posted Image

This makes one hell of a birthday week. When my family asked what I wanted for my birthday all I said was "leave me alone so I can play Mechwarrior all weekend". Now a challenge to go along with it? /steeples fingers Good. Goooood.

Im not sure i understand it, but i like the intent and core idea behind it. Kmdd= using teamwork 90% of the time, and anything that boosts que numbers up and encourages teamwork is good to me.

Greetings from Germany.


Mektoberfest clearly operates on different rules it seems.

I am up for this Challenge.

Light KMDs might be tough. What would be the most optimal Mech to get Light KMDs with?


Probably a Jenner IIC or an Arctic Cheetah.

or Oxide, or Boom-raven, or Huggin, or lolcust. I would avoid the Commandos and Missed Links, but that is just me.
