I could swear that just using "All" for mode shifted heavily towards Conquest. It must be weighted a lot (like, a 75-25 split... Conquest-Assault ratio).

[V3tor]

Great work! Keep these events coming. Gives us players a little something more to play for. Maybe make these a weekly or bi-weekly event with different win conditions.

[BrainFlush]

Completed the challenge and still think it is BS that they changed the original post. Big deal about a medal (only visible on my profile) for an item that I could buy which I already have bought in-game. Whatever.

[Stalephreak]

Of course it's a small prize, it's an easy task. Besides, it's something that doesn't have much to do with the game... I'm happy they're doing things like this. PGI, I'd like to see colors on the menu for this kind of thing. "This week's challenge is for Copperhead paint. Of course, it will be permanent"

I agree. I completed my Conquest matches WELL before the Assaults because I was getting into Conquest matches at least 3 times for every one Assault. (at least that's what it felt like)

[Ridir Semii]

so 1 thing to say to those who are saying guys like me are whining because these challenges arent challenging. I have a job and family too, I was camping until the last moment for the last challenge and made it, these are not challenges.

If you merely play like you would any other time, you WILL achieve the medal, unless you are a worthless pilot who gets droppped with garbage teams all the time.

The last 3 days have been nothing but lrmfest and capwarrior, yet some of us havent bitched about that, we simply believe the challenges are too easy.

Some suggestions for better and harder challenges can involve getting x kills in y time or other more difficult things, but because you people work during the week and cant put a couple hours in per day for 3 days to get an award is not your employment or your family/friends, its you not wanting to get the reward.

Rather than complain about getting on the weekends, those of us who claim these are easy should tell you the way you tell us, qq because its not about you, you didnt take the time, you failed, I took the time and I succeeded, there is the real difference between you 'real job' havers and myself

I recently had a massive downturn in my health and I play this game alot, it keeps me from going crazy, I was a manager for a local McD's and I worked all weekend, every weekend, so realize also that your 'real job' is no better than mine was, and you dont deserve special treatments because YOU get saturday and sunday off, you want to make these challenges, do them, they really are not hard...

Once again tho, perhaps adding longer or different types of challenges would satisfy all those who 'cant do it cuz of my job and family'

Then again, maybe not, seems like it must so so difficult to get 20 wins.... oh wait, I had 90% of the challenge the first night; WITHOUT TRYING

Or unless your a good pilot that gets dropped with garbage teams....

Your Mileage May Vary

I found that my Assault/Conquest ratio was about even, but I completed the Assault portion a lot faster (only had 7 Conquest wins by the time I completed 10 Assault wins), then switched to Conquest-only matches and the last 3 wins took FOR.EVER. to get. Rarely was a loss on Conquest due to capping. Usually I ended up being the last on my team alive, or the other team singled me out first and killed the rest later (which was more frustrating since I rarely split too far from the pack, and watching through the rest of the match and couldn't believe I got killed first when there were so many other targets available that couldn't seem to take cover or hit the broad side of a barn or would do things like fire LRMs at short range... and also NOT TARGET THE ENEMIES to make the targets appear on the team's radar)

[Vassago Rain]

There was pretty serious competition to get the necklace. Grinding the conquest wins, especially.

We had to run ravens to squeeze them. Now I can suddenly play my atlas again, with some bling. Do more of these, even if the prize is just another little thing. It brings out the real competition. I'm still a bit cranky we didn't get a medal or star to put on our mechs.

The Challenge needs to update MUCH faster. every 15 minutes does not work. I was at 10/9 and won the final Conquest match to theoretically make it 10/10 with 5 minutes to spare... but it is not showing as being completed.

EDIT: umm... it looks like it did manage 100%... but it has a red cross insted of a check mark... does that mean it failed with 100% or something else?

EDIT2: I guess it did count... sorry about the wrong post... I should be less impatient I guess. lol

Was in my final winning match when the server cut out, with 3 minutes left on the timer.

THREE MINUTES!

I was at 10/9, too, according to the 15 minutes LATE update.
Also, the challenge finished 3 minutes too early!
I would have had 10/10 if it would have closed at the full hour, and not at xx:57!
(I was in a game at that point which was won.)

Further I'm 95% sure that at least 1, probably 2 victories in total were not counted.
Therefore I'm quite angry right now.

I won my 10th conquest about 20 minutes before the time ran out, and it's showing mine as incomplete as well

EDIT: now it shows up. As soon as i hit "post" on this forum topic. Go figure

oh, even better... NOW mine is marked as "100%" but still unfinished. (X in red field).

EDIT: get's weirder and weirder... now it has changed to "90%". which is definitely wrong as I had 19 victories by xx:50. Which were even shown on my profile. Not 18.

It is a fun contest. In my last match, I was running my C4 SRM boat around, converted and took over three zones, and finally tied up a Jenner before the enemies killed me off and all members on my team except one. Although they have 3 survivors, they simply do not have the time to grab enough resources before my team reached 750.

[Zphyr]

Completed mine after hours of losing miserably (was pugging). Now we got no medals? That is... well, somewhat a pity.

I hope they won't make these challenges more demanding, although I understand some of us wishing that it would be more hardcore, so to speak. Many people I know could not find several hours, in the middle of the week, to play.

This time i´ve made it. thx

[InRev]

The server went down literally as I completed my last Assault victory. I didn't even get to view the after-battle screen I logged in and checked my stats page and it showed 0 percent complete for the challenge.

"RAAAAGE" I said to myself. "THE SERVER ATE MY FINAL WIN"

Melancholy and morose, I resigned myself to failing this challenge. Then, I saw posts stating that people were receiving late credit for their wins. Flush with hope, I logged in and saw . . .
100%

Assault And Conquer Challenge

Ended: June 14th

And there was much rejoicing.
