I just finished the first part of the challenge (never enough free time these days). I only drop solo in Assault and Conquest modes. I ran one match in my Awesome, and split the rest between my Nova and my Jenner (screw those queue times for overpopulated classes).

I kept track of the games it took to complete.

Wins: 10
Losses: 10
Ties: 1

Apparently the matchmaker and I are on the same wavelength. I'm liking the gameplay variety lately between the challenges and the IS vs IS/Clan vs IS tests.

variety

well basically the challenge is exactly the same as other days but you get gear after a few matches.
I hope that CW dos not run on a similar mechanic, it would b a bit like re-inventing the wheel and
calling it CW.

Is vs Clan sounds like it is interesting, haven' t seen it myself though.

I...didn't track them.

I can tell you that my W/L went up from 1.09 to 1.12, and my K/D likewise increased from 1.94 to 1.98.

I have won 50...how many I lost, I cannot say. It certainly felt like I was winning more than I lost.

Johnny, nice run.
Congratulations on going the distance, Yeonne.

Henri, the test of IS vs IS was a nice throwback, and the gameplay was actually better for me; people seem to have gotten better fighting against Clanners, so it was interesting to see a level playing field with the same tech level. I missed it on the 10 vs 12 testing, that would have been fascinating.

I played at peek time Friday 8 est (3 wins in 10), found it so bad I waited till 1 am est(14 in 25ish). That was much better, then didn't play again till tonight at 8 est(3 in 8), got my 20 and that was enough. Back to group.

I played around 115 to 120 matches to get my 50 wins - using my IS Mechs (mostly in Mediums).
I had 15 to 20 serious Lag/Desync occurences.

It is no ionger viable to equip a XL-Engine if you want go anywhere near the Frontline with the abundance of excess Firepower that strolls around in that area to find things to obliterate.
Impossile to do anything but hope you be in a experienced Team where you can be a positive Multiplikator - in average and inexperienced Teams you simply go drowning together on dfferent levels of embarrassment
Still using Mechs that are fun to Play - sometimes fun

Worthy Challenge - though i understand why it is percived as Grind - but i got some C-Bills and Vip-Time

Thx PGI

ECM spider on conquest. I started 17-3 but things went down hill when I got tired. Then I came back the next night and was getting win ratio of 3-1 consistantly for the dozen or so wins left. I had to log out and relog in about 4 times due to dysncing.

Wolf, I can respect that. Unfortunately, my small local Alaskan group is mostly afk for out brief summer.

[fleshwoundNPG]

4 wins...BUNCH of losses. Have not won since yesterday. The pugstompings have been brutal tonight.

I swear if I see another lonely 100% Atlas FAR, FAR away from my team at the end on Alpine freaking Peaks again...
