Home-made Taco Burgers are AWESOME, it's a Taco on a Bun!! Use a Hot Dog bun and VOILA you have a TACO DOG!!! Not as good as the Taco Burger, though. Back to whining: what I am going to do with all the GXP I'm getting from this Leprechaun thing going? They should make it to where you can gift it to your unit like CBills, if only unit members could draw on it. That's the only thing I can foresee the CBill coffer being used for, anyone know if there are any plans to use that coffer for something other than a big number to look at? I dump CBills into the coffer just b/c I don't have any use for them lately.

so far the only use for the cbill coffer is to buy out a contract. IMSMR

i have 2 lct left to master. having a hard time getting 30 points for the grab bag. i want these things mastered but i may have to pull out the boars head as my teams lately could not pour waste water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heal and i just am not good enough to carry in a 1v. although the whole lct with a erll is kind of fun

I feel your pain. I tried mastering the Jenners -- just couldn't get the hang of playing lights. I can jump in my Battlemasters and qualify in ~90 percent of my matches, but in the lights, I'm lucky to hit 30 in one in three. Last I played them, I was working on the elite level, but they've been gathering dust in the mech bays for awhile now while I drive my Centurions and Battlemasters.

Set your search parameter to Assault / Conquest modes only, uncheck Skirmish if playing in solo Q. Those two modes (assault and conquest) seem to be the easiest to get to 30 points, then once you max those out (50x 30 point games) set it to Skirmish and work on Skirmish. Not sure if that will help, but I avoid skirmish, seems to be easier to get 30 in assault / conquest

I avoid CW Q only because it is too much time to wait for a game that (for me) usually devolves into being spawn camped. Waste of time, IMHO, for this challenge, unless you have already gotten all the grabs from Solo Q and are just determined to get the rest out of CW.

In a nutshell:
do Assault first (easiest to get to 30)
do Conquest next (next easiest)
do Skirmish (FFA that is)
only then go to CW, if you are PUGing, mileage may vary if you are in a 12 man CW, even then the time drain is a waste compared to any variant of Solo Q

my results so far is 7000+ GXP, 150000 Cbills, a few hundred MC, and one flamer, and I play less than 10 matches a day, very casually. Good luck!

1v is killer, but I had to leave mediums and take out the locust 1e for better consistency in the lucky charm event :)

Skirmishers in Conquest. How many FREAKING times does it take for people to realize that you're going to lose the game in Conquest if you let the base points get away while you chase a kill?

Just had a game like that, I'm going "CAP CAP CAP" and everyone just plays skirmish instead. WTF is wrong w/ people?

I think I will drown my tears in a Taco Burger. At least I got 39 points, some solace, just sad to see an easy win get away b/c people can't keep their eyes on the real prize in a game. In Conquest, secure the base points, THEN go play KDR. Sheesh. Had two radio guys SCREAMING for lights to go cap, needless to say, it didn't go well.

ARGH!!

I hear ya ... lot of folks in my Unit seem to think "There is no Conquest, its all Skirmish". I am always like "It's all about Skirmish until it's not...and then it's too late" :P I don't think they get it.

In some cases I believe it's because they are being harassed by enemy lights and mediums and thus unable to disengage quickly. Then they make the decision to stand and fight to try to kill them fast.

Wow... just wow.

Multiple matches of dire wolves on my team, chasing squirrels on alpine, then instead of rejoining the group... they go and cap enemy base leaving everyone else back to try and stop the massed assaults and heavies charging OUR bases.

LummdeedeeeDEEdummmmm Oh look! Snow!

Note to the underhive... VOIP only works if you use it, and listen to it for tactical info.

No... it seems they HAVE VOIP... but they don't realize they gotta be USING VOIP for it to be worth while!

Then again, right now I suspect a LOT of non-english speakers playing so I guess I should calm down some.
