Brother,

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

He couldn't have been more correct... The mission postings just keep coming lately, and the bonuses keep getting bigger for veteran pilots. [background=transparent;]Whatever is going on in the periphery...It's big. Big[/font][background=transparent;] enough that it has some powerful people coughing up good money to expand our hangars just to send us in there to handle it. I can't tell you where or when we are shipping out, but I've heard rumours of strange new Mechs from faraway systems. All I know for sure is th[/font][background=transparent;]at a full tour is going to net me 6.5 million plus premium scavenging rights. This is why I don't want you to fear for my death brother...because when I return we will get to live like dukes; like princes! I know you were hoping I'd quit after the last mission...but this time I feel like our whole company is really on the path to victory.[/font]

You have a typo on your image. You put Aug 16th instead of 26th.

1. Does the premium time auto-activate, or do we get it banked? 2. Fix the end date...

[BLOOD WOLF]

Sweet

[hazeman]

holy..thats a lot of reward. cool

[DEMAX51]

Only solo drops count for this? That's kinda crappy :/

[Deathlike]

This is terrible. This is like a leaderboard challenge, without the leaderboard.

It would be better if the images for in the challenges page actually was there.

Yeah, would be interesting. I'm in vacation after the weekend and absolutely AFK. Would be a pity if the premium would automatically activate...

Otherwise, nice challenge. Especially with the CBills as reward.

[Deathlike]

Bah to auto-activating Premium Time.

I would like to know if the premium is banked as well.

Thanks for the tiered challenges though.

Edit: Niko already answered this question.

I suppose I should be thankful this is wins, not kills, based.

However, the number of wins could be considered....excessive.
Assuming a 50/50 win percentage(Elo/MM perfection), it could be 100(!) matches to get all 3 rewards. At 10 minutes per match that is 16-17hours(!) of play time. That seems a bit....much to do over 4 days. Even to get the mech bay could average 1.5-2hrs of play time.

Still, wins does beat kills.

Too bad we literally can not skip that button in the current setup. Thanks for clarifying.

Oh yeah. No opt in, and awesome prizes!!!!!! We need more of this!!!!!!!!!!

Good job.

[Eduard Scorylo]

A bit disappointed this is a solo only event. What's wrong with winning while in a group?

[Appogee]

Hmmm. Winning a match as a PUG is perhaps the hardest thing to do.

Still, thanks PGI for the opportunity to win stuff.

AWESOME! This is probably the best Server Personal Challenge yet!

[Heydiddly]

Don't see why it's solo only... I could understand it when groups were mixed with solo, that gave them an unfair advantage, but that's obviously not an issue anymore.

Note: I mostly run solo anyway.

[Mawai]

Are the rewards are cumulative?

After 50 wins you get the mech bay, 7 days premium and 6.5 million cbills?

Or if you only want the mech bay you have to stop after 10 and before 20?
