i won at least half my conquests by capping. because of all the skirmishers out there that forget it ^...^

[Docta Pain]

why can't there be a "Major Assist" vs "Minor Assist". I would call 'Major Assist" doing 20% of the damage to the fallen mech. So if a JR7 was at 50% before being killed, whoever did +10.00% damage to it would receive a "Major Assist" and it would be an appropriate measure of your contribution...

Revised Points system:[/font][/color]

• Kill = 2 points
  
• Assist = 3 points
  
• Spot = 3 points
  
• Victory = 4 points

Now in less than 2 hours you can complete the challenge...

^ 100% completely support.

Either that or an idea I had before: "kill assist" if you're the person that dealt the most damage to the component that resulted in a kill (i.e. right torso, or either leg). "assist" if you dealt any damage at all to any component.

With major and minor assists, we could measure performance on the endgame score in Assist Credits or Assist Points instead. Maybe 3 points for a major, and 1 for a minor.

Got it done in five drops.

[Haipyng]

Bummed that the premium time starts as soon as you earn it. Played most of the morning, now I'll be off for the next few days.

[warner2]

I see all the crazies are now playing assault mode instead of conquest Seriously mind-boggling.

I think I might actually select conquest only just to avoid them

ill = 2 points, Assist = 2 points, 100dmg = 1 point
Most light mechs will often win a match with 1 kill, 9 assist, and 200 dmg.
An Assault mech will often win a match with 4 kill, 3 assist, and 800 dmg.

In either case above, the player gets 22 points.

I can just image all the pro's just laughing at this... ..200 dmg in a light? That is like child's play..

In either case above, the player gets 22 points. The idea is that with kills and assists being equal, lights get more points because they rake in the assists and assaults get shafted because they can't possible do the same, so we add damage to level the field. Obviously the numbers will need tweaked, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

[Soulscour]

I'm mad that I wasn't able to play yesterday so I dont get to complete a challenge. lame

[Sackrace]

Hey everyone,
Does the premium time you win in these challenges activate immediately? Because all of a sudden I'm on premium time and I didn't activate it at all.
If it does that's a pain because I don't have time to take advantage of it right now...
Cheers.

It activates immediately.

Well, check that. Yesterday I didn't update the rewards until I closed down the client and restarted. Don't know if that'll happen today, but if it does, and if it works for everyone, you could close out the client and not restart until you can actually use the time.

Just got my rabbit's foot.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

There's things belonging to the missis in the bathroom that look very similar, but they are certainly not rabbits feet!

[G SE7EN7]

Sucks that premium time starts as soon as challenge is complete, I want to choose when I do a all nighter, not just have the time melt away

[Kellon Black]

Another three nice red x's in my profile. I cannot play during the weekends. *sulk*

I live for the challenges that run to patch day. Nice with a challenge more though!

+1, I played quite a few tonight to get the challenge and I don't even know if I'll even get to benefit from that premium time, since I've got a busy schedule tomorrow. Out of the 24 hours, I'll probably only use 2 hours.

6 hours of non-activated premium would have been much better, would have used it next saturday

I know PGI is trying to organize some events... but it seems it's constantly missing its target, hardcores and casuals are both still wondering what PGI is trying to do.

I missed the 1st challenge by 20%. Think its a damn shame that they announce the Events right before they happen instead of a day or two before-hand. I understand they arent a large company but Im sure they know what they are doing the coming weekend on Monday prior-to at the latest, not on Thursday just before they leave the office for the evening. Which is what they are doing to us the players. 1 Days notice isnt too much to ask is it?

[Darth Futuza]

Anytime PGI gives out free stuff is always a good day.

woot got my rabbits foot

[IllCaesar]

Put my Rabbit's Foot on one of my Centurions, hoping that some animalrights activist gives it a free red paintjob. Need to represent Davion on a Cent, after all.
