Please help,
premium time will be ACTIVATED automatically after the 20 wins or it can be later started manually?
I dont want it to be active untill this chalenge is over. Thanks!

[Thorqemada]

It will be activated and not be saved - i am not sure if it is activated on the next Match or the next Login.

It is activated immediately after you get it.

[Deathlike]

Well, technically the game WON'T IMMEDIATELY ENABLE IT. It has to internally "reach" that magical number before it happens (PGI's stat recording statement of 15 mins before it is updated is accurate). So you get a 15 minute "reprieve" from your last win before it is applied. At this time, you could just log out and decide to activate it whenever it is appropriate via the next login.

Thanks to all, 2 more wins then pause untill the next challenge.
New players needs time to get into the game, improve their mechs
and tactics to get the most of premium time.

It activates immediately. Even if you kill the client with 20 wins, it is already redeemed -- started -- at that point.

[BadCat MK IX]

Ouch!. Then I will wait till Tuesday to do 20 wins just before this challenge is over. Thank You for this info!
I will cover You if we drop in the same team.

I'm going to have to refute that...

Earned my 20th win half an hour ago. Killed the client at the 'end game' screen.

Just logged back in and have a full 6 days, 23 hours and 59 mins.

My biggest concern is I am spending a considerable amount of that premium time waiting to connect to a match...

Ahh, I see. You have to not log in nor come back to the mechlab after the 20th win. The redeeming happens automatically as soon as you do.

Just think of it this way, getting 50 wins is allot of practice.

Not record breaking i know, but a complete challenge is complete. Time for some R&R.

Is there any way to delay activating the Premium Time from starting upon completing 20 wins?

I'd rather use my premium time when I go on vacation in a few weeks rather than this week which is a work week.

Really? This has been asked about a dozen times now...

Yes. You need to log-off / kill the client at the end game stats screen. Premium Time will activate upon next log-in.

Bored with the grind-fest challenge? Make up your own twist on it. I'm going for 50 wins in 50 mechs. Plan to take a break at 19 so I don't waste that PT.

13:9 so far, longest streaks are 6 W, 2 L, and I'm 2/3 through my assaults.

And a follow-up now that I'm done... for all you non-pugging QQrs whining about your losing streaks.
50 wins, 30 losses, 44 kills, 296 assists, 57 deaths, 20,725 damage, win streaks of 4 to 6, only one big losing streak of 5 at the light end of my assaults (I started with my heaviest mechs and ran up the mechbay). Ran six mechs I've never piloted before, mostly stock, and finished with the trial KTO.

While something of a grind-fest, it was far from impossible, and mostly enjoyable, save for the trolls out only for themselves. I shall now go enjoy my PT & bonus CB. Good day, sirs.

Thank you!
Actually I played this morning two hours, then had to work for eight hours. Getting ready to game again and honestly I just don't have the time to read through pages and pages in the forums so just asked outright.

I'd rather be playing MWO than reading about it

Thanks again for the info!

My quick feedback:

The Good:
* I like the idea of tiers, and the order and award of the tiers is great.
* Free mechbay again =)

The Bad:
* I don't like solo challenges. Kind of defeats the purpose of this game. Also there are no group-exclusive challenges, aren't there? So why exclude groups, especially when we should get excited about joining groups with the upcoming faction tool...

The Neutral:
* 50 wins may be easy for Blalok, but is impossible with wife and kids. If this challenge would run through a whole week, not only the weekend i would appreciate it more.
* Wins aren't a bad condition, but kills/assists wasn't bad either, especially since you made progress all the time, no matter if there is a loosnig or winning streak. I vote for keep changing the conditions. Sometimes wins, sometimes kills, sometimes something entirely different...
* I liked the idea of having to play certain mechs, in order to be able to participate, but i have enough mechs at my disposal, so i don't run into a situation where i would need to buy one.

Brother,
A bureaucrat once said, "The sinews of war are money, money, money."

Borther, it wasn't a bureaucrat, but a famous mercenary general and noble of ancient Terra, Raimondo, Count of Montecuccoli, with more than half a century of military experience spanning from small unit leadership on the battlefield to commander-in-chief of Holy Roman Empire forces.

These challenges ruin the fun and the game. Everyone brings a meteamech and lrms. Most games are 12-3 stomps and far from enjoyable.
