Don't know why they cant make this challenge like the recent one.

assist- 20 points
kill - 10 points
damage - team damage dvided by 15

130 points per qualifying point.

Its not ideal but its a easy to implement more reasonable change.

UPDATE: The hot-fix is out, and includes a server fix for the connection issues that were occurring this morning.

The server fix requires that we temporarily disable VoIP functionality while we diagnose an issue with the TeamSpeak 3 SDK. We will provide more information on when VoIP functionality will be restored as soon as possible.

Services have been restored. Upon launching the client you will be required to install a small patch.

The Like a Champion MARK II event will be extended by a full 24 hours.

Another kill-happy "challenge"? Not only is there nothing challenging about this grind fest but the attitude of taken by the players (me included) actually makes this game less fun. I'd like to buy some MC, because you know, good job on the VOIP and V-day sales, but I don't want to to think I'm giving you an incentive to do this more often.

Before you say MAD 'CAUSE BAD, OP24 took me a couple hours, this is easy, but disgustingly time consuming and unfun. I want that mech but I think I'll be playing Mass Effect this weekend. I have a 3L anyway.

I felt bad in my second match today. I had a kill, and was trying to wing a mech for an assist and he turned his cherry CT in to my wublove and he died.

Everyone that is complaining or hates this in any way please go live your real life for the weekend and stop ignoring your family....

The rest of the world cares that you don't care enough about spending time with your family and friends and getting out and about in the fresh air.

i personally hate occupying your time is such a selfish way and release you from any obligation to be on line and play against or drop with me.

i hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your time away form such commitments as this.

This.

Shove your challenge. Just played five, got my kills and assists. Lost the match every time. Last one I had 22 losses In a row and more scattered losses than wins. It was miserable.

Not going to spend another weekend dealing with the mess you have caused in matches now.

An you can shove the package I was planning to buy.

If possible someone please post this on twitter so Mr. Convenience can have a read.

Just played a game of conquest where my whole team stayed around spawn until the enemy team won on points. I've also already shoved a ton of alphas on over eager teammates who step in front for the kill. Its nice to have these events but you really need to figure out a better method.

Are you really complaining that your free stuff isn't free enough? To the point that it makes you upset no less?

LoL is never this generous with free things, WarThunder either.

PGI is VERY generous with their giveaways, If they dumped it in your lap it wouldn't be a challenge would it.

[Flaming oblivion]

^ They have to learn the minute you put a kill and win condition in , Your not just making it impossible for the new players.

Your making it impossible for any casual player particularly in the pug queue there are better ways of doing it which they have used.

[Kanghur]

I really hate you for this event. 1 assist is just undoable. 1 kill is good challenge (it should be weight class depend but is ok). But you are forcing me to want to win as mostly 1 vs 23. You know your players base...All this hate.Mostly unneeded... You really know how to make ppl hate your game . Plz dont give win like dependance next time.

[SgtKinCaiD]

Thanks PGI for the ****** weekend. I just played 10 match, all were lame roflstomps where the loosing side has more than a full lance not even reaching 100dmg / 10 pts.

The problem is not the rewards here. This challenge will be the same as the Victor and the CTF ones : a lame grind coupled with the worst of players. The MM can't handle such a surge of players.

You cant read can you?

Its not the free stuff. Its the fact they alter the gameplay doing these challenges. Never mind its not free stuff for casuals and solos as it near impossible for anyone with a life to make that grade.

They ruin solo que for a weekend and then if your lucky you may get premium time.

I have made all the other challenges and most likey can do this one too. I have been playing a damn long time over 20k matches so its not a big issue for me past rolling the dice for a winning team. Anyone else new to the game or with limited play time is screwed in every way. The gameplay is bad and the hope of winning anything is nil. The team players come into solo to pillage and the guys like me play to advantage knowing how its done. The rest just get bad match after bad match.

Yet for 3 hours of continuous play I'm at 10 points. This mean I need ±12 more hours if I go for the camo.

What about you?

Anyone would be exhausted after that much time in a such short period.

It's not free. It takes time, time spent NOT having fun if you do not enjoy the personality these challenges force on plays (kill hunting).

And if you have a job or a family, that time is far more valuable.

For those of you who enjoy playing during these challenges, good on you, have fun. Feels like work to me though.

[Rhialto]

Seriously, I hope they won't do this kind of challenge again, EVER. Either lower the numbers or change how we get points because it's not fun like it is now... most focusing on the challenge, imagine when a game goes 1-5 for example, almost assured to lose so why would anyone stay there and lose 5 precious minutes? Better to suicide or quit even if still alive and move to next game.

I'm sure that's not what PGI wants... pleasing us with rewards we deserve for completing a challenge is fine but the challenge must be entertaining a lot more than feeling it being a task.

I'm not whining, I know I can skip and do something else... I just wanted to share a general feeling.

[Locutos]

Could you remove some more of the Bugs, lowering the Conditions / points required, or increasing the timelimit a lot.
This event like the last event will upset ME a lot and probably a lot more players.
someone stealing your kill, not even gettign the kill or not winning ... bugs and crashes with bad timing.
Without the time to vent your anger on something else, something will suffer.

You are creating an unjoyfull gaming experience with this.

I have to agree. I played a few times and seen it was not even worth my time.

Good luck and hope others enjoy it that have all the time in the world.
