In before the people complaining that LRMs are going to ruin their da-- oh wait. Ah well.

Seriously, just like every other challenge, I'm going to enjoy taking my ECM 'Mechs and hunting down foolish LRM boats that hide behind their lines. Just like any other match, LRMs are only effective if you let them be. Or if your team is 100% incompetent at dealing with them. Which is just life, really.

[mrpetzold]

This should be easy enough looking forward to it
And those who bring lrms, thanks for the easy kills/assist/win/survival

There isn't any point in trying to get the victor for me might as well not even be an event

Very Nice! Will be keeping my Victor when I get

As many have noted, survival is the hard part.

Gonna be a long weekend.

Aye, the amount of SUPER timid play it will encourage.......good luck getting teams to push this weekend.....

Challenge for the champ mech, and survival every match aside, 3 days of free PT for one game with 1 kill + surviving + win (assist assumed, who only shoots one mech?) is pretty awesome by itself.

[PraetorGix]

I don't care for Victors, but I could use those juicy premium days, so EZ PZ for me.

[Martin Oberhofer]

I am expecting to see a lot of Clans (durability) an dont expect many lights -> especially PUGs would choose something bigger.
So i think it will be a mostly-Jenner-weekend for me

[Varhait]

Solo or Group?

it won't affect your banked time.
just the 3 days are activated on the first point!
The reason we structure it this way is for some people getting to 20 points to unlock the Victor Champion will be significant game time!
The premium time makes it more rewarding while they work toward the goal of the mech!
It's a win win when you look at it this way!

Edited because I misunderstood your question.

Is this a solo or group challenge?

[RiotHero]

Great rewards, no lie.


This game will be unplayable during the duration of the challenge though. All of the trash with half a brain will be hiding in the back with long range only weapons waiting to kill steal and duck out to not die. I guess I'll see how it plays out but, chances are after a few games it will be to frustrating to even bother and end up catching up on other titles. I hope I'm wrong.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

I doubt I'll get the 20 points but I'll be happy with the 3 days premium time.

PGI just found a way to sell me the locust hero mech time to jump in the pirates bane and go LRM hunting

[stocky0904]

Hiding after your kill and your assist would be a bad tactic because you still have to win the match.

Im expecting a lot of insults and bad behaviour in chat because of so-called "kill stealing". Hard times for LRM boats (incl. me). LOL

[Kmieciu]

If this is a group challenge this weekend will be glorious for our Unit. Nothing is easier to defeat than an opponent that fears death and tries to stay alive at all costs.
I bet there will be whole teams using long range weapons and cowardly tactics. Those are the easiest ones to steamroll using MPLs and SRMs.

[Punk Oblivion]

Just finished up buying and elite-ing 3 Banshees so I am broke. Running my Firebrand + Ilya + premium all weekend should get me some good cash flow back!

As for the full 20 wins? I am a brawler. So surviving is not my main strength. I like going down in blazing glory too much :-P

[Lily from animove]

eww, winning and surviving, that counters my natural need for crushing into suicidal situations. But then its only a Victor, who needs it -.-

[KuroNyra]

[GumbyC2C]

Now this is a good weekend challenge. It keeps the farmers away (a kill AND and an assist required) It discourages suicide charges (survival required) and it forces the team to play well (win required)

I like it. Plus getting premium time easily at the beginning should help me get some c-bill cash flow.

[STEF_]

Free mech, free mechbay, free 3 premium days!
Mine.
Thx PGI!
