While waiting on Turtle Bay Defense, I have read(well, skimmed) this thread, fetched a frosty adult beverage, had a nice poop, entertained cat.

I'm quite enjoying Community Waitfare. Contemplating doing a wipe/reinstall of Windows on an old lappy to increase my excitement level to further heights.

I have never once gotten into turtle bay defense. Never. That planet is cursed.

The challenge is a nice idea. How about running it again when the matchmaker actually works so the challenge can be completed?

[zeninsight]

whats the point of a challenge if there is no match to be found ?

[Grendel408]

Wait times right now despite a event challenge for CW is just wrong. Several of my team just logged off due to the wait times. Public matches... 2-3min wait time... CW 5mins (earliest connection I think I've gotten) to 30+mins? Hard to accept a challenge with wait times like that.

so do you get 2000gxp & 2m cbills for 5, then an additional 3000gxp & 3m cbills when you get to 10?

[Moshi]

agreed. the challenge itself is pretty reasonable, 80 points between four mechs is easy. playing maybe 1 game an hour if you're lucky, with people getting disconnected and generally laggy-er than ever, dropships that can attack you from the other side of the map and a variety of other niggly little bugs like glitch spots that blow up your mech make this incredibly taxing on a person's patience.

Just hit number 10, solo drops in CW are def. the fastest.

Doubt I will hit 20, but still fun!

[Alik Kerensky]

So far the points are easy... too bad I've done 1 match in a hour...

[Soulscour]

I want to complete this challenge. Its hard to get a match even when you coordinate with larger groups. I'm getting 1 point per hour. This makes me sad :-(

[SaiyanMyougi]

Cool deal, loving these challenges, keep 'em coming >

[The Great Unwashed]

I wanted to say I'm going let this challenge pass, but the challenge is passing me. Somebody wake me when CW is working?

[ERescue]

*deep sigh*

My results so far:

Game 1 (yesterday): Failure, not enough points.
Game 2 (yesterday): Failure, not enough points.
Game 3 (today): Failure, opposing force did not make it into the match.
Game 4 (today): Failure, opposing force was way too powerful, we got utterly trashed.
Game 5 (today): Crash to desktop, no recovery possible, game not recorded at all.
Game 6 (today): Not found so far, now in queue for 45 minutes, 23 seconds and counting on...

hesh as it is right now ... you should be paid for even queuing up to play on a laggy map where you will get your arses handed to you because 2-3 players on your team are DCed


It'll be fun once this thing gets ironed out a bit (lot) more.

If my CPU didn't overheat in the FIRST MATCH, I might be able to participate. Back to pugging until the maps are redone or I can afford a CPU upgrade.

Loving the new game mode

Issues/observations

Could really do with a command wheel
Team play even more important
When you die and respawn you can wander in all alone and die, need to be careful to not L Jenkins

BIGGEST ISSUE
Long Loooooooooooooooong wait times for a drop

[Tsula]

wish I could find some drops that is all the problem I am having and ones I do get no one shows for the other side o match score sigh

[Inveramsay]

While the challenge was a nice idea on paper it is virtually impossible. I've just spent three hours "playing" the game and in that time managed two (!) CW drops. This system without a functioning lobby is useless and since it was released just before the weekend instead of start at the week I'm assuming no one is really sorting it out either.

When do we get the rewards? I thought 15min after finishing. Got nothing.

Well, looks like it for me, too. I got 5 points but I never saw the "redeem reward" pop-up... are the C-bills added to the account without any fuzz? Or didn't just the system work?

Did you get the rewards?

And, yes, solo drops are definitely faster. Also, after you play a match, try to immediately drop in queue for the same planet, it seems to help shortening the waiting time.

[Mobile Ordnance Platform]

its really hard to do the challenge if you cant even get a match

[Aylek]

Online since about 2 hours now. Played one match. :-(
