Nobody noticed the page says ‘Challange’?

I geuss we get the same scores as last time

you know, assist 2 score, kilsl 1 narc 2 spotting 2 and such. And then on every game mode.

[RustyBolts]

This is probably going to be a long challenge. Wait times are already long depending on what class of mech you choose. Cant imagine how long it is going to be now that everyone will be trying to do only one mode at the same time. I predict some VERY long wait times.

when ti is like the last challange in score, it will be fats if you take the right mech. But when people stick in their habits well then they won't be very efficient at all with this.

That was my guess as well. And it would make some sense.
If i remember correctly the last lance challenge hat 900 or 950 points for the tier 3 reward. Considering that we might only have 1 day for each game mode part it does seem logical to reduce it to 200 points or so a day since people have more or less free time on different days of the weekend.

200 C Bills

It might actually be 200 MC for a number of wins, that would be great, but if the number represents a score needed to win I think the most likely candidate would be kills/assists - like 1 assist - 1 point, 1 kill - 2 points or 3 points. It should work out to somewhere around 20 matches per game mode, which is a bit on the grindy side for a weekend, but we've had worse

[Chrithu]

Well. Now I know what I'll be doing until CitizenCon Livestream fires off.

It wasnt meant as a whine, but rather an expectation.

I see your meh, and raise you some more meh.

Also:

• Kill = 1 point
  
• Assist = 2 points
  
• Spot = 2 points
  
• Tag assist = 2 points
  
• Narc Assist = 2 points
  
• Victory = 3 points

Wtf that might take far too long to get 200 points just for a crappy reward.

That's actually the least difficult thing to accomplish actually... in 1 day no less.

very meh. would have liked a free color or camo or something useful other than hanging bobbles and premium time. would have loved MC but they did that for the group drop recently, so it'll be awhile I guess till we have a solo MC challenge prize.

I second colour actually.

How long has c-bills colour been restricted to the same 4 boring colours.

Throw in a lime green or a white or something as a prize and i think lots of people would be happy about it. I bet there's lots of players who are not willing to spend real money/mc just on a visual upgrade.

It shouldn't take more than 20 games to score 200 points. 10 if you're actually good.

1 kill, 6 assists, 2 spotting assists, win the game. That's 20 points.
0 kills, 3 assists, 2 spotting assists, lose the game. That's still 10 points.

200 points is really pretty trivial to achieve. Just playing normally it should take 10-20 games. If you actually work at it (make sure you damage every enemy to get the assists, bring Tag and Narc, etc) you could theoretically do it in as little as 5 games.

While I agree that colors as challenge rewards would be cool, I don't really understand the people who won't pay MC for permanent colors. Aside from Mechbays, colors are probably the best value for your MC in the game.

[Screech]

The point system is a bit off. 3 points for a win? But you can get up to 24 points if you invest 1 ton into Tag and get lucky. I expect the games to reflect this failure.

[151st Light Horse Regiment]

I've played 5 games in the last hour, correct mode, and no points are showing in progress. Anyone else?

[CycKath]

Everybody else is getting the same, check the announcement thread. Ah well, 4am here so going to go sleep and hopefully its working when I wake up at a sane hour.

Same. Quite anooying as the last ones have been amazing (Locust with 300 damage, six assists, seven spots, stole the win via resources as last man standing against a Whale and Misery.)
