Love it!!!

[JackPoint]

So yet another pgi reason to play Capwarrior online, no wonder folks are quiting when devs promote ****** gameplay.

Nice to have another goal, but how about some achievement medals down the road?

E.g., a "Savior Kill" medal (needs 50 savior kills); add a frond for the "Savior Kill with Frond" medal (needs 100 SKs); "Savior Kill with Palm Leaf Cluster" (needs 200 SKs); etc.

Similarly for other "achievements": maybe a "Legbreaker" medal (100 enemy legs destroyed); add an oak leaf cluster for 200 legs destroyed;

You could think up a lot of "achievements", some of which one might not want to achieve (e.g., the "TK" badge of shame, for inflicting too much friendly fire, whether intentionally or not.)

BTW, for all the Negative Nellies, the # of legs destroyed and other numbers are simply examples, as is the TK badge of shame. For the Positive Pollies, what other kinds of achievement badges or medals would be, IYHO, "cool"?

Oh, and the medals / badges / achievements could be automatically added to your forum sig, with the option to opt out of showing medals, just like you can opt out of the found tag's visibility.

:b Nice challenge btw.
It gives people a reason to play both types of games - atleast for a short amount of time.

[Grimmnyr]

Nice, easier than the last one, but I am still going to have to give up allot of sleep to finish it.

Garth, will we get the chance to complete past challenges sometime in the future? Alot of us dont have time durring the week to complete these. I might get this one, but I wasn't able to complete the first and not sure if I can or will be able to with any future challenges.

They aren't going to mold these bonuses around individuals. They give us multiple days per challenge for people in your situation. If you cannot find the time across 4 days to do these things, than I'm sorry to say, "tough luck".

In his defense, if they are going to call it a "challenge weekend," it should probably take place over the weekend.

Dude it was just a question, relax. Some of us have a lot to do in life other then video games.

Well, except me. I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Mondy for ten hours a day; it's nice to actually have an event I can play in for a change.

[Thomas Covenant]

One bit of feedback is it kinda stinks we have a permanent YOU FAILED this challenge and can do nothing. I got to 44% of the last one for example. Trophy's are cool but failed challenges take the form of "anti-trophys"...
If the challenge recurs maybe it can switch to a success and show the number of times you have won this challenge, while also listing the various prizes you've won

[Mortenson]

At work and cant log in - how does progress display? Is it obvious how many of each game mode you still have to complete?

[Squidy]

Great challenge idea, but next time try wording it differently. All of my conquest games are filled with assault mechs. People seem to think this challenge means "bring your assaults and play conquest only"

[WonderSparks]

I don't normally play conquest, but when I do, I play to win. (lol jk)
In all seriousness, though, this gives me an opportunity to play conquest with a motive for doing so. Yay!
I've never had a hanging item in my cockpit before, this should be neat. Will I get an actual notification this time for getting it though? Last time I just got the 3050 hologram and didn't realize it until I went to move the one I already had from one 'Mech to another. >w<

Yeah this is kind of what I was getting at. Thanks for posting this.

I figure it's kind of like a badge of honor. A general may have a purple heart and other achievements, but he doesn't have a failure badge for all the medals he doesn't qualify for.

[Thomas Covenant]

Also I would be fine if prizes repeated every so often. This may be because I missed the last one >.>
but it has the added benefit of less mc items given away to keep the more expensive ones exclusive, maybe only for really crazy challenges if ever, also different challenges could be used for the same prize.

Edit: wait a sec, Sean Lang is viewing this thread, arn't you doing a twitch event?
