No JJs on the 3L. You're thinking the 4X.

Oh thats too bad, the Raven would be a more viable mech if it had JJ and ECM.

But if thats the case, this challenge may cost a little more time that I'm willing to spend. The Camo looks nice tho.

The raven 3L with 2 ERL is viable.

YOUN ARE Wrong! so sorry, you CANNOT SELL CHAMP OR HERO MECHS, so, you get the mech bay? NO YOU DONT!! you get a already FILLED mech bey, period, the champ mech takes it up, so you get NOTGHING but a useless raven(no one really uses them they all suck ass) so you get a champ raven IN a mech bay, NOT a mech in a bey + an empty bey, the 'free mech bey' you get is already occupide so it dont count at all, ant thought other wise is a falshood, they only give the bey because they give u the mech 1st, and you have no open bey? you cant get the mech, so they cover there asses by including the bey ON A MECH YOU CAN NEVER GET RID OF! so it dont count, keep the trash hjoke mechs, let us sell our UNWANTED NO USE EXTRA 'Issued" champs and give us the MC instead, give us an EMPTY Mech bey.

now about this event? ha you guys screwed up again, MANDATORY KILL+assist+win=1 point? no!!!! ONE POINT PER KILL, ONE POINT PER ASSISTS, WIN OR LOSE, win? then win=1 point kill or no. any other way is NOT ACCEPTABLE as things stand, i r3efuse to partake of these 'JOKE' events you have no chance in,

I have NO responcibillitys, i play when i feel like, and i can play 24/7 IF i choose, and still see ZERO CHANCE of compleating all the requierments,
THANX FOR NOTHING!!!

The "Yes" was in reference to an earlier question regarding whether CW matches counted.

I've got a 3L I'll sell and keep the champ, freeing up a mechbay.

Question:

Do we have to be in game for it to register a point? Or will it register a win if we leave?

As always, it will register even if you quit the game. In fact, it's effective to quit as soon as you are dead, and bring another mech for another try.

Bonus info: your premium only activates when you accept it in the main menu. If you know you'll have the third point in the match you are now, just quit the game before it throws you back into the menu. The premium will start counting the 3 days the next time you log in.

[Flaming oblivion]

Looks like their not removing the win requirement , Means they will need sales to get people to play after Monday,

I knew the second one . But thanks for the info. Wasn't sure.

[Hidden Sniper]

When I first read it, I thought it said a kill, OR an assist and a win regardless...

So you need to play 50 rounds in which you win, get at least one kill, and get at least one assist?

I find it funny how there is a lot of things you can do to help out your team. You are rewarded for doing most things in-game. But each event you are only rewarded for blowing **** up. I don't think I can get it with the time I have. Good luck to everyone going for it.

As per usual, many people don't get the definition of the word 'challenge'...last weeks event was a give away..could do it without trying. A mech, a paint scheme,a mech bay, and premium time SHOULD be difficult..(or a challenge if you will), to get. If you don't, (for whatever reason), then you weren't up to the challenge.

I guess thats what comes from a generation that gets a ribbon or trophy just for showing up.

[stealthraccoon]

Yes, I will be ignoring this event, I busted my butt for the last one, and I was only able to get the final kill/win needed on the last 2 hours of the second part of the event, just before I went to work .

The kill/win challenges just aren't feasible for casual solo players like myself - I've relegated myself to paying cash for crap I want, what's the point of having a grownup job, right?

PGI a suggestion on kills. Why not make a "Kill Assist with Most Damage Dealt" equal to a kill. This is a tracked stat already in the game.

just in time just got my new graphics card NV 750 ti super clocker yay
see yall on the battle field!!!

For any good group this is pretty easy and done quickly. For everyone else...not so much. Therein is the problem: It's once again an event not made for everone, but the "veterans" really with good groups to drop with. It's getting tedious and annoying for a lot of people and I can fully understand their frustration.

The only suggestion I can give is get a good group going - lonewolf playing this will take more time.

Yes this is kind of a 'rich get richer' event.

However giving premium time relatively easily is a great way for newer people to build up to that veteran level.

BTW I don't consider myself at the veteran level, however I still appreciate the chance at free stuff. If I don't win the rewards this time I'll be closer to winning them next time.

I also understand the frustration but us newer players should have confidence now that these events will keep coming and we will eventually get over the hump and have an easier time in them. Of course then the reward won't be as exciting because we'll have earned stuff of that level on our own, the long way.

[Bulvar Jorgensson]

How about having a Challenge where everyone has to drop in either STOCK mechs (either IS or CLAN) or use TRIAL mechs.

Make it Match score.....
above 150 = 1 point
300 = 2 points
600 = 3 points.

Bonus point if you win the match....so even if a team gets a non playing shut down specialist, they can get points.

Even switch it up by saying if you use Large lasers (which obv gets used for stat purposes) you get extra points (mix-up the weapons used) SRM weekend etc.

You are limited in what you can do I understand that, but your limitations are based on what time you devote to these events (and for the most part it looks like less than 10 hours in a week)

[Pissybird]

Any chance going forward the Kill requirement could be changed to "Kill Most Damage Done". This would discourage people from last minute sniping for 5 points of damage and getting credit when someone else has done several hundred on a particular target.

Killing 20% of the enemy team only to lose because your team's LRM boats get overrun is only challenging your patience. People aren't complaining because it is hard, they're complaining because the conditions for a point are outside their control and the game gets all screwy.

[Rhialto]

There, prolly an extra day for everyone to complete this challenge...
