Hmm, where do I get the MC bonus? I successfully completed all of the 10 individual challenges.

yeah it does need to be able to block at a certain number of people or something , but it wasn't intended in that way

anyways some good matches so

[SuperVaderMan]

Some kind of option that sets the maximum group size would be greatly appreciated.

[Insects]

It wouldnt normally be needed or wanted though. Only the weekends challenge is requiring specific group sizes.

They should rename this mode as looking for stomping when you meet actual organised group of players.

[Votanin FleshRender]

Banged it out in 4ish hours, but it wasn't a very fun 4 hours. Almost every game was a stomp. Even the games my team won, we slaughtered the other team. And when we lost, we lost huge. 12-3, or 3-12 or worse for 80-85% of my games.

I tend to solo drop a lot, and these kind of experiences are largely why I do. In my humble, very unscientific subjective opinion, games are just better in the solo Q. Sure there are stomps there, too, but I would peg it at slightly less than half of my games in the solo Q end 12-3, 3-12 or worse. That's still a lot of bad games, but it's better than my experiences in the group Q.

Once you got premium time running it's not too bad if it takes awhile to finish the challenge.

[finalexamweekFTW]

where do we claim the MC or island item??

[Deathlike]

If you're trying to claim the prize, you need to goto the challenge pages and click on the "Previous" button that is opposite of "Current".

Of course, it's just easier if I just link it here: http://mwomercs.com/...s?t=201504group

It would just be easier/nicer had it been accessible from the challenge info page instead (well, mostly for redeeming the prize). https://mwomercs.com...type=challenges

Putting out a challenge like this but not building the LFG tool so that it allows you to set a max or specific group size makes me wonder if PGI ever played online games before.

Edit: Obviously the goal of having players use the LFG tool and expose problems works in this case, but why didn't they anticipate this problem? If you have spent time in any online game that has specific party sizes for events, you would know how much of a cluster they can be.

Looking for Group is not required but it certainly will help those who need to find more players as well as get people familiar with the LFG feature.

To be perfectly clear, if you play in the right size group and get the right match score (for the mode), you will earn the rewards.

Grand total Prizes (per player) for a minimum 10 matches

• 1,000,000 C-bills
  
• 300 GXP
  
• 3 days premium time
  
• 4 x C-bill Airstrike
  
• 4 x C-bill UAV
  
• 4 x C-bill Cool shot
  
• and your choice of cockpit item or 500 mc

I seem to have gotten MC versions of the consumables. I was so hoping that you guys had figured out most of us would prefer the CB to the MC versions.

The LFG UI should:

• Not allow people to join open groups while they are searching/in a match.
  
• Allow the group leader to set the group's description.
  
• Correctly display "deployed" when someone is spectating in a match (currently says "not ready").
  
• Not crash the damn client every other time you return from a match.

[Appogee]

It'd be nice if the group leader could give the group a name.

For this challenge, you could say "looking for a group of 10" for example.

Beyond the challenge, you could use the description to set expectations such as "experienced players doing CW drops" or "goons messing around" etc.

• Switching off LFG before launching after you have gotten the needed numbers works quite well.
  
• That work be good.
  
• Actually this is a bug. I some people see it as not ready and some deployed. So... I guess it is bugged.
  
• Didn't happen for me. You want to re-repair tool before going to sleep. It might take hours to redownload everything.

BUG!
I have a group of "11" shown as qualifying with61 match score. Problem is that it was a 12 man with an AFK crab... so I don't get my reward even though we went through a 6minute wait to get our 12...
BUG!
fyi-an "11" group doesn't exist...
BUG!
p.s. did I mention BUG!

Had this happen too, with how hard it is to get a 12 and not get focus rolled against a faction premade its disheartening.

No, I should not be expected to manually perform such an obvious lock
