Was i suppose to get an email about this challenge!?!?

Well, it's been a long I haven't received a newsletter from PGI and I agree that it would be welcome to annouce those events in advance.

I just wish I could have banked that premium time.

I logged out as soon as I got my 20th win before the website updated so that it is all fresh and new to use on thursday arvo AU time when I next have a chance to just play for hours nonstop

with auto-premium time on, time to break out your founder's, Phoenix, and Sabre mechs

I didnt go for the 50 wins but all I drove was a hero spider, the st ives bule and my prime summoner so with constant UAV usage (cus derp teams and I was grinding exp on these heros) I made like 3.something mil cbills anyway.

Just for reference since some posted how long it takes or speculated it would take. I had my 50 in under 100 matches.

I had a pretty bad spell in matches at 2 points but still overall I was around 1.6 : 1 ratio for me.

Mech bays are always a good thing, premium time was nice especially while grinding for the 30 wins to take me to 50 (won't get to play much during week), and 6.5 mill cbills will be useful. Would be cool in the future to maybe also throw in a hula girl or something like a cockpit item for these tougher challenges.

Ugh, got my 50 and rewards. Time for another good long break from this game.

[Vimeous]

30/1/27 so MM working for me.
Gotta cave at this point - RL kinda interferes! ;(

I manage about 5 matches an hour. Assuming MM works at 1:1 in most cases that's 20hrs or 5hrs/day.
I think I'd of gone with 10/20/40 wins so the rewards increase as you double wins.

Regardless I hope the suicide farmers appreciated the wins the rest of us had to carry in their absence.

Desyncing matches like a ************ over here, midmatch disconnects out the ass and lag like you wouldn't believe.

at least 6 potential wins were taken from me.


This type of competition never works because of this.

Anybody have some of their matches not count even if you won I had about 3 and I am at 49 wins right now with last match not counting. Solo dropping on a game that is supposed to be team play really sucks and is highly frustrating as very little teamwork being shown in matches. How about next time 50 wins in any form group or solo.....

[condor1X1]

THX PGI

It can take 15 minute or slightly more to update on here.

I could have had the first tier last night, but 13 games and only 4 wins.. ...the losses? All more than 12 - 4 losses.

Can attribute at least 3 losses to just plain terrible *disgracefully awful* teams, the other 6 im pretty sure were due to unbalanced team drops. Fun times.

Now I have to try and will 46 matches in 5 hours. (6.5 games for every hour...)

I drove lights and mediums. Just made my 50. Time for bed. I enjoyed the challange, gave stuff that only MC could earn.

[MauttyKoray]

Definitely an absolutely ridiculous challenge. Out of 100+ games I'm at 23 wins because even at the end when you're up 4-2 pilots left, the pugs are absolutely unreliable and could be killed by a single enemy.

I would have much preferred another point system:
1 - Assist
2 - Kill
5 - Win

Tier system would've been:
200 - Mecbay
500 - 6.5 Mil C-Bills
1000 - 7 days premium time

So, it's everyone else's fault that you're batting 23% when you should be batting 50% ?

Ya know, some days you rack-up a bunch of wins, other days you rack-up a bunch of losses... when's the last time you won a ton of matches in a short period of time and said "Wow, my absolutely awesome teams carried me to victory!" ?

Do you get the urge to make that claim as often as you blame your team for dragging you down, or are you really that good and it's their fault for you losing 77% of the matches this weekend?

Still if you have gone through challenge you can't help but feel your are being sabotaged often by the MM with 3-6 people in your team doing 0 - <100 damage in whatever mechs they are in.

Anyway... I was looking at my last few losses last night then I realised. OMG... PGI P2W in action... <=4 IS mechs in each team and everything else was CLANS..

[Thrudvangar]

got 40 matches played right now.. won 32 of them. and i'm mostly doing below 200dmg in my raven.... support role only (NARC & TAG), the team wracks the enemy and we win together.

very amusing so far. hopefully i can get the other 18 wins today after i'm off work ;)

the first 7 matches i was playing was with my Assaults and Heavies and i really didnt have much luck with the MM, then switched to the support Raven and i almost never lost a game from then on.. i think it was only one game i lost within 33 games i made without taking Assault/Heavy Mechs.

If each team had 4 IS Mechs, and each team had the same number of Clan Mechs, then nobody's getting more wins due to their team having more Clan Mechs... just use a different set of data next time

[Osirustwits]

I feel this now leads to teams of at least 3 or 4 then I see 6 man teams could be coming which leads to community warfare
Either way I love it thanks for the mech bay trying to go for the moola but may not have enough time

[CrashieJ]

Do your part to destroy all clan mechs.

seriously it has become "the team with the most Direwolfs Wins"

I find half the team being cut down due to a C-UAC5 barrage within 3 minutes of the game.

tell me "Balance as intended" PGI.
