Am I cool now?



EDIT: Alright, people are requesting stories. So here's how I got my Ace of Spades last night. I was in my Crab CRB-27B. I run the thing with Max XL engine and 6 MPLs. This gives me a max speed of 113.2kph. We were on Canyon Network, Conquest. The fight somehow shifted toward the north of the map. Their team charged my team. I punched override, kept moving, and kept shooting. A really intense brawl ensued, most of my team went down, and so did most of the enemy team. During this brawl, they just kept coming, and I dropped 6 of them. I overheated twice during this but RNGeesus was kind to me and did not eat my cockpit with heat damage since I had override on. After the brawl was over, I moved out. There was still sporadic fighting going on, lasers and missiles coming out of the nearby canyon. I identified that there was a Hellbringer down there as well as a Battlemaster. The Hellbringer was being distracted by one of my remaining team mates. I peeked over and shot him in the CT and he went down. Next I shifted my attention to the heavily damaged Battlemaster. He made an attempt to return fire but again, all it took was one alpha to his CT. And there was my Ace of Spades. But the fight was still not over. There was an enemy Stalker that remained, and he took out the rest of my team mates. By the time I got to him, he was cored and went down easily. Alas, through the fighting the enemy team had gotten way ahead on caps. I captured Theta and neutralized Kappa, leaving the enemy with a single capture point. But it still wasn't enough. They reached maximum resources before I could neutralize their last point. We lost despite everything. Regardless, it was a really good game.

I was really hoping you were going to give me the Evangelion "Congratulations" video, but I'll take it.

Used it at least 3 times on this forum JUST counting the video forms of it. There are only so many times I can use it before it gets old. Now, open yourself up from congratulations on Steam, and I will link it to you every single time. It's tradition there for me.

Did you rise above the bronzes in achieving this prestigious title? Sure.

Does that make you cooler than 10 Top Dogs? Nope, sorry.

Gratz man, I can't seem to get it because whenever I start to dominate my team takes the rest. I've gotten 7 but not quite 8.

Quick one on this, is the only way to check your achievements through the ingame?

And is the only stat place the MWO / Profile / Stats page on the website?

I'm pretty sure i got my Ace of Spades in an Urbanmech Posted Image

Heck, i was once a one kill short of getting Deathstar (11kills and the last one was nagged by a filthy Arctic Cheetah), but that was in a Locust (Pirate's bane, i think).

No, it took you too long to get. You missed the party and are therefor lame instead of cool. Posted Image

That, and he got into the crowd that actually HAS Ace of Spades. If he really wanted to be cool, he'd be a terrible pilot. All the cool people are terrible pilots. Just like me!

*chuckles*

Congratulations are in order Posted Image

I know several of my [MWO] friends are trying to get that achievement but have fallen short (7 kills; several times over).

I think persistence is the key, with a fast-built mech, good aim, and a little luck!

Congrats!

I got it myself over a year ago in my Jester... think I was running a triple large pulse build at the time. I'd previously missed out on it during an event when I gave a kill to a teammate, and finished on 7 kills.

Think my battle count was about 2000 battles at the time, so for me the odds of having a shot at the achievement was 1 in 1000.

Funny thing, but I almost did it at some moment, when PSR had already been broken for a long time already, i.e. matches were already completely crappy. I would have done it, if some other pilot wouldn't have stolen my last kill.

Feels like I'm never going to get it with this T1 account. I have it for my alt account tho. I think I may have even got it before PSR.

It's kind of a weird achievement anyway, given the factors involved.

No, because you haven't tell us what happened, how you did it, which mech etc.

Share stories, and you are cool ;)

It is only decent if others point it out.
Otherwise it is just bragging and attention seeking.

Note: It could have been well earned while helping your team, but it's a video game and folks farm stats.

Well, stories are the most important factor when someone write "I've just achieved xxxxxx".
It doesn't matter if he's writing for epeen or something else.

Anyway, my epeen ace of spades has been achieved with a..... LOLCUST.

It was in old frozen city, my team dropping in south side. Classic stoooopid action with a light: "ok, I'll go tunnel, drop uav, backstabbing etc."
The fact is the two teams converged to the dropship (remember?) with out aany nascaring and I managed to backstab 4 mechs (1 dire, 1 thunder, and 2 I don't remember). Impressive how none was looking at the seismic or maybe they hadn't it, while they were exchanging shoots with my team.
So the brawl started, and I steal killed another 4.
It was such a stooopid match I lolled all day long.
