• Spot = 2 points

Proof that PGI listens to us.

Does the group size matter? Ex: Do I have to drop in a group of exactly four people?

[speedy mechanic]

Umm anyone never notice these are the same point values as the last several (about 5 or so) challenges minus wins dropped by 1 point? Kind of odd ppl now make a deal to point it out while it's already been there o.O

Doesn't matter.

Playing 40 minutes already in Conquest mode. Still 0 points of challenge. Is it working?

Working for me OK. I played 4 matches and have 26 points. That was in an Ember with Cap Accelerator module. I didn't even get a kill.

No, this is not a lance challenge. It's an individual challenge, so grouped 2-12 or solo, it doesn't matter.

I hope the Premium Time doesn't start automatically right after this event like last time.

[Motörhead]

it does, was really fast to rack up 200 but it auto-activated as usual

No reason to think it wont.

[utzelbrutz]

Ok. Thx.

[MaddogA1]

Why do you make every challenge a LRM fest?

Assist is worth more than a kill, interesting. Should be an easy challenge, 5 assists alone will net you 10 points. Don't care for the hanging items, but the premium time is OK.

Don't care about the premium time, but always need more hanging items.

Thanks yet again! Going to be a fun weekend!

[Milocinia]

Keep these challenges coming PGI. Gives me a genuine incentive to play (just as I was going to take a break until Wave II comes out).

I was just wondering how to keep track of the points score and then I found it by using my brain. In case anyone was wondering it's here https://mwomercs.com...type=challenges

This is interesting. I appreciate the splitting it into days, though it does kind of put me off that I can't power grind through them anymore. A way of controlling that, I suppose.

[TinFoilHat]

Premium time activated, but I have a month instead of a day?

I pre-ordered Wave 2 but thought that would bank instead of activating. I don't have any other time other than banked, and I haven't activated any.

[Alaskan Nobody]

Not going to be able to even work on the one on the 12th.

Edit: or the 11th.

More red marks for me.

200 points seems steep, and it seems like we should get points for some other things, like cap assists and even 1 point for a loss.

[Kali Rinpoche]

The whole "kill" thing is a red herring. Very rarely does 1 single mech burn down another in 1 to 1 combat. Most kills come b/c someone else or a group of others have pounded that mech to paper. A lucky lrm 5 hit takes out the mech to get the "Kill." The rewards are set up to promote team work, and if you happen to get the kill, you get a 1 point bonus.

Now if this was a Solaris style group tourney, then kills should be worth more, but it isn't.

[John Bethune]

Why do you guys always come up with these "events" once we spent our premium time?
Seriously, besides the fact that it drags the least teamkilling roach from behind its TV these "exciting" events just really are a waste of premium time if you want to level some chassis.
At least you could have the decency to stop chargin premium during the "challenges" so we can use the old mastered chassis without regretting to have wasted yet another 3 DAYS on just bad matches with just another bunch of hobos going for Tournaments in TRIAL mechs and alpha-ing your backplate. No, that is no exaggeration, that was observation LAST weekend.
Up Yours with "challenges" - print the code and read it, is more #fun.
