We gonna be given the points we've earned or should I quit until it's working properly?

Mines just jumped up to 71 pts so i assume it's just a dealy because everyone is playing

[Nostromodamus]

Oh I see mine reflecting points now. Cool.

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.)

Haha. I was just in that match with you, in a BJ1.

That was a good match. Totaled a heavy, crippled 2 more, and dropped an arti on a Warhawk, scattering two of their lances. Fun stuff.

I think I actually got points for that. I logged in and looked at my profile, and had 14 points towards the challenge. That match with you was the first Conquest I'd played today.

wow... ironic its you dropping a whiner negative bomb on an attempt at an event given your sig,... "[color=#A4A4A4]This is Mega Whiners Online"[/color]

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

This is the least appealing challenge they've had in some time, but that's ok because the past few weekends have had so much MWO grinding in them anyway. It's kind of nice they have a challenge I don't care about.

And even though the rewards are extremely underwhelming, I'm just happy they're still doing weekly challenges. It's great for the game, keeps things fresh. Seems like every weekend, the gameplay changes slightly (sometimes massively) based on the challenge. It's not always a good thing in the end, but change in itself is good, so they just need to come up with challenges that don't make the solo queue a nightmare.

Seriously though, I'd rather take three colours, three mechbays or 3 days of premium time, rather than these cockpit items.

EDIT: And it would be nice to see more lore-based events, rather than "Halloween challenge", "Columbus day challenge" and "World pancake day" challenge.

I actually think it's one of the more appealing challenges, seeing how you can compete in either the group or solo Qs.

Well, when the rewards are of no interest to me, that doesn't really matter. If you really want some more cockpit items, I guess you're in for a treat.

There are no pancakes in the grim darkness of the far future. It is lostech. But the clans still have waffles.

Hard to argue with this point... I've yet to see a Cockpit item that I would actually use within my Mechs.
Free PT is always nice though.

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.

about 10 winning games would be my guess

I finished about an hour ago (took 2 hours to complete). Took me 10 matches, which was 7 wins and 3 losses. Points can accumulate VERY quickly in wins... my 4th game was 11 assists, 14 spotting assists, 0 tag, 0 narc, and of course the win. 53 points in one game. That was in my Maddog Prime with 4 x LRM5, 2 x LRM10, and 4 x ERML.

Worst game was 6 points... 1 assist and 2 spotting assists.

[Keira RAVEN McKenna]

see... I was right!

[Sethliopod]

So...they offer an event for either solo drop or group, they value wins and assist and tags and Narcs over kills, that encourages choosing only one game format, they even make it only on the weekend, so the "kiddies who don't work" don't have an advantage (like the Monday of last event supposedly gave)...and still people complain.

Customers: working as intended.

[SaltBeef]

Took 2 hrs in a commando 2d. Looking foward to tomorrow if I have time for it. I miss half the challenges due to my schedule anyway.

[Angel of Annihilation]

The bad part is that the challenge makes Conquest, Skirmish. What I mean is it rewards you for kills and assists, not caps or resources so everyone is just fighting it out for the quick points rather than trying to win by caps.

LRM's and Gauss Rifles, maybe LL with good TCs for reach and touch ability?
