Hey, guys

I "earned" Ace of Spades and Death Star titles today with that bug. When the "failed to find a match" message appeared, all you had to do was log out from the game and then log in. Then the REJOIN option would appear for the previously selected mech and all you had to do was go killing every dc there.

By the way: I never tk anyone for that, it´s just sad to do that. And I don´t care if they revoke my titles at all. I just want that fixed so I can play before my wife comes home and I have to be a good husband.

Probably just some experiment with ghost heat, went the way it usually does.

lol, who really cares about achievements anyway?

Well if you want to get a good amount of GXP fast then most of the accievements give them to you.
Personaly i dont really care about the titles you get from some like "Death Star" since im planing to only use the faction title and dont really care if they remove them.Also dont think anyone would ever get the achievement because you cant kill everyone and be everywhere.Even killstealing wont help you get the achievement.Personlaly i think the only way to get this achievement is to form a 12 man group and let them to jusy core all the enemies and let you kill them.

I have not tried for any of them and I have most... Like I said, who cares. The only reason I have had "Ace of Spades" selected for the past couple of weeks is because I am in ACES and I thought it was funny.

Vagueness.... so vague.

or perhaps they are, like you know, investigating the cause because they don't what it is yet??

Common sense would dictate.

Sorry guys. I'm just so awesome that matchmaker broke trying to find a full twelve to go against me. It failed.

@All: On the topic of "Death Star"... If I am mistaken, please correct me, but I believe that achievements are also available while playing Community Warfare... Therefore it is possible, though certainly difficult to attain even more than 12 legitimate kills in a single game.

Hey everyone,

We are using the downtime from this hot-fix to resolve the server and matchmaking issues that cropped up this morning. We are still working on solutions. Further information on when services will be restored will be provided as soon as possible.

Details on the Like a Champion MARK II event extension will also be provided once everything is restored.

[Desintegrator]

Thanks for the fast reaction !

I found this today. In the first game I advanced cautiously only to walk around the corner & was met by a Direwolf {end game} when it happened again I was sure it was a problem.I captured objectives & got 3 kills. Sorry but killing a team full of DCs doesn't work for me & it isn't why I play the game. I'm more frustrated I can't play & hope they fix the problem soon. I need my fix!

You are mistaken.

EDIT: To clarify, it's the achievement part you won't get in CW, fully possible to get 12 kills, saw someone post a screen of a 30 kill match the other day, but you won't get those achievements from CW.

Hey, got the 'Death Star", "Ace of Spades" and "Johnny Five" achievement's today, thanks to the exploit. Did it for fun, laughing out loud with friends in the room I'm writing this message here, so You Devs could easily remove it. I would rather earn them, not 'have' them beacouse of an exploit and 5 minutes of duck hunting.

[GentlemanBryan]

Can we please have a "x2 cbills" weekend? we all need to work on purchasing modes for our new mechs

[Kyynele]

How about posting some concept art from the new clan pack so we'd have something to look at while wasting EU friday prime time waiting for servers to come back?

[GentlemanBryan]

I would like to see the NOVA CAT!!

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.
