A friend showed this to me tonight.

go to tournament page, view page source, find/search for the word tick. The number of matches is the number of successes.

Another outstanding Event PGI, thank you! I really enjoy working through these kind of challenges. And with an opportunity for a few MC ducket's to secure a shade of paint or two keeps my Battlemech's looking good on the Battlefield. I can't wait to see what kind of events you come up with next. :wub:

Aww yis.

988 damage all at the end in what was a 2v6.

Made an LRM gargoyle happy and... 125.86 points lol.

Now all I gotta do is get 5 kills, 0 assists and 1000+ damage and I'm headin' for the maximum.

I have so many matches where I have slightly less than 130 points. In all of them I killed too many Mechs.

It's a stupid scoring system that requires me to stop killing things.

It's a rough balance between prioritizing kills vs. assists. Perhaps equating the two at 15 points each would be better?

In the solo queue, I find myself going out on my KFX mostly for this challenge. Shield my team's bigs with ECM, poke everything I see, then work on crippling targets. I'll kill a mech if given the chance, but mostly focus on keeping teammates alive and getting assists.

In a group, just work as a group and the points will come naturally. Group success usually equals 130 points. Group failure is, well, a failure.

Would be good if this displayed on the >Profile >Challenges page in the usual % format so we could see at a glance how many matches qualified and how many were still to do

EASY WAY TO COUNT
# QUALIFYING MATCHES:

View HTML source of the tournament page.

Ctrl+F. Input "tick.png"

It'll show the number of results it found, which in this case is green check marks.

Next time, I suggest that to earn the points you should have to win the match. I am REALLY tired of teammates playing to lose, not caring about winning. I had one just declare "I only care if I get 130 points". That's a sad attitude.

So far, 5 out of 28 qualifying matches. Guess not going to make even half the MCs at this rate :rolleyes:

Am I the only one just playing like usual...and getting mostly qualifying matches?

That and, if you REALLY wanted to qualify 100% of the time...drop CW matches. It's impossible to fail this challenge in those.

I'm having a complete and Utter RIOT!!!
Piloting my Light mechs again, is soooo Fun!

Spotting for LRMs, Legging Assaults leaving them for the Pirahanas, dancing through a cluster of enemies making them "SQUIRREL" and friendly fire the **** outta eachother trying to hit me, pulling 4-6 enemies to chase after me, leaving the rest of my Team to CRUSH the rest of the enemies!!!
HAhahahahahaah
Thanks PGI, I forgot how much Fun Lights are!!!

And to those that have Bitched at me ingame, or wished me Well... sorry I CANNOT Hear you.
As I have all chat, team chat, lance chat ALL TURNED OFF!
Too many ****** remarks by players has led me to keeping all turned off. And WOW, MWO is much more enjoyable without seeing all folks bitching and QQing on Screen!!!

This has been a very Fun event for me! :D

Busy week at work for me, but I have made sure to make at least 7 million c-bills and 25 qualifying matches per day.

The clan wave 1 sale caught me off guard so I needed to grind 25 million c-bills in 4 days. Currently on target as long as I get a full evening in tonight!

97/100

But some of the stuff I've seen the teams I've got I think I'll be taking a break to recover.

Takes me all my time to get my pilot in my mech he's sat rocking in a corner.
