just completed this one. It was pretty fun. It would have been better if there was a unique hologram for it. But getting stuff for free is still good and I had fun getting the wins.

I have searched through the forum but could not find what this 3050 Holographic?

only a accesoir in my mech? ....Why should I more clutter my cockpit? ..my brake is no longer .. too much empty beer bottles^^

[Lance McRaven]

Hoo Woo!!! OOHRAH!! Just Got My Last Victory!! I will be putting this hologram in my Grand Titan!! (Highlander with a very unique load out) Purchased one at New Years, it is in my Templar. (Again, unique load out). Can't wait to see what is next. PGI, You Rock!! Thanks Garth, and all the other Devs!!

Why can't we have these on WEEKENDS??? Give the casual players a chance too!

My work is done, now for my rewards

This challenge wasn't much of a challenge. How about 100 victories in 7 days, or something challenging like that?

this awesome "challenge" is adding a new feature to the game....boredom, limitless boredom

every round i played today was "go for the base, capture, get the holo"

that makes 10 boring matches by now, cant wait to get into the next one - to see who is at the enemy base faster THIS time

I'll agree it didn't take long for the base cap strategy to take precedent... but the 4 man I was running with quickly picked up on the trend and we switched up our tactics and took some beefier mechs and set up defensive positions to guard the cap on each map. Then we just let the enemy light mechs and fast movers roll in so we could dispatch them within 500m of our cap. Sometimes the best offense IS a good defense... and we had plenty of smores for all the base rushers that begin to complain of 'camping'. This strategy ended up being good enough to get 24 wins in about 8 hrs of gameplay. I saved the 25th victory for the next day

adapt, overcome, on and up

I still enjoyed the challenge with at least a goal to strive for... I would like to see more like this with more levels like 25, 50, 100... even in the same challenge. I think the overall positive response to this challenge shows how hungry we Mechwarriors are for the Community Warfare.

There is much truth in this sentence.

[Augustus Martelus II]

Challenge done.

[Ratu]

Done

[Dart Nimrod]

Holy smoky! My first reward. After all this kicks in a *** from RJF, RDL and other mech maniacs, I'm finally slightly happy.

[PyckenZot]

I only had 2 nights to get it. So I'm going to regret this when I wake up. But,... challenge complete!!! :-)

Thanks!

is this gonna be a weekly thing

[knuckleduster05]

how do i claim?

[Daelin Wledig]

It seems client-side lag has become quite an issue this evening. I certainly hope PGI plans to extend the challenge by a day to make up for this.

NOTE: You will receive your 3050 item this Friday, May 31st, at 10AM.

Just completed the challenge and have to say good one. You need more of these. People were actually playing like they were on a team in a pub game. The cap strategy was overused but the teams quickly adapted. I was in some of my funnest and closest games yet.
Two thumbs up Piranha!

sure wish i could do the challenge, to bad game is so ****** broke i cant complete a match

[ZeProme]

Darn it. I'm 12 wins away from gaining it.

Sigh. I guess I won't be able to get the reward. Time hasn't been friendly to me this week.

I also want to apologize to my team that I have been in with earlier in a solo pug drop. Been doing fast cap rushes to try and win but I guess it hurts my team more.

That said, I did top out damage in my Cicada X5 but my team lost at multiple occasions. It gets quite frustrating.

I was tempted to commit suicide every battle to hopefully win but I knew such action had no merits as my team wouldn't have been capable of winning with one less mech.

Night time for me. Really sucks, it be nice if the devs can extend this event till Saturday afternoon. Simply no time for me. Might be able to pull in a measly one hours worth of playing tomorrow morning but that's about it.
