Yay. I have to solo queue with people that can't even hit the ground if they fell.

I always wanted to learn how to fly, but I can't seem to get the timing down of thinking of something else the last moment before hitting the ground ...

Seriously PGI. 9-4 to 9-12. Eight straight losses after going 9-4 in the first 13 games.

There's something seriously wrong with this matchmaker.

I see the two missing image on the challenge stats are finally there. Thanks for fixing them.

[KHETTI]

Annnnnd i was right, sync dropping scumbags everywhere.

Hey completionists, 6,500,000 cbills divided by 50 wins is an extra 130,000 cbills per match.

Over 100 matches it's 65,000 cbills extra per match.

Protip: get 20 solo wins, and play the rest of the weekend with a good group and use your premium time to make up the extra 65k per match by doing well, and don't sweat it.

Also: skip the consumables and save 80k per match. Consumables don't pay, and if you're using two of them to get a win toward the challenge, you lose 15k PER MATCH.

Would be better if we had to get kills/assists, would rely on skill alone, not some random luck with the group.

Since I'm noob I don't really know how to do that. Is that one must take down enemy mech 100 % alone or is there something else?

No just be on the winning side of the match.

How about this, consider having to solo drop a chance to find those few diamonds in the rough that haven't been picked up by a group yet and have a chance to get some stuff in the meantime (and no, I am not one of those diamonds . . .)

It's a solo event, deal with it, and make the most of it.

[Vyviel]

No one is forcing you to solo drop. Just skip the event if it makes you so sad =P

[Devil Fox]

Solo only challenge... based on wins... well there goes a weekend of having little to no fun AGAIN... I refused to play the tourney because of the terrible gameplay... solo queue isn't any better normally with window lickers galore or you get the solo sync droppers all getting into the same game... and they encourage it for another weekend!

Cannot do that. Gotta catch ´em all.

His point was why don't the wins in both solo and group queues count because making it solo only is pretty [redacted] stupid in particular for something as tedious as a win based "challenge".

Cause it's a challenge, otherwise they call this a gift.

Nobody force you to do this.

sooooooooooo
basically what your'e saying is "I'm going to complain about any and every event type PGI runs"?
alrighty then....

[Sable Phoenix]

Come on PGI, auto-activating Premium Time AGAIN? What is up with this? Didn't you get an earful enough from the last times you did that?

Bank it. Auto-activation is crap.

Its okay unless you're a halfway decent pilot and you're in a light. You're expected to carry that. "Deal with it"? really?

You're right, Auto-Activation is pretty annoying, that's mean you have to play in the next 7 days to enjoy the bonus, but it's not sure you have free time for doing that..

[Vyviel]

Meh I hate banking because it forces me to use the entire 2000 hours of banked time at once. This way is better.

[xarax123]

These challenges are cool. It gives me an objective to play for. But how about making the challenge rewards different depending on whether you're piloting a IS mech vs. clan.

[Grey Black]

For my money? I'm not a fan.

This challenge really feels like luck of the draw. Either you get a PuG who doesn't know which end of a ppc is which or a team which can snipe from 2k away with an ERPPC. Because we have the multiple conditions, for the next challenge, how about we mix it up?

10 wins = mechbay
20 kills = 3 days premium time
100 assists = 4 million cbills

That would let you focus on what you wanted while also being an overall boon to the players trying for something.

[Gorgo7]

Suck it up Sable!

Can't have your cake AND eat it too?

Poor baby...
