Curious about the academy and badges/pay-outs..

I was running around in it, and i ran outta ammo, hence i could not complete the alpha strike part.. whoops..

anyway i swapped mechs in there, and then it bugged out so i couldn't target mechs, and lost my weapon system and the whole GUI basically.. (i could still fire, but no objectives showed up)

I exited, and got 2 badges, then went back, but completing the other challenges did nothing, Though i did pick up two more badges by shooting the guy, and letting him kill me..


My Q is, did i end up getting everything? I got 4m c-bills.. not bad for just screwing around.. and over all i really think it is a huge step in the right direction, so outside of getting Bugged by swapping into a jester it was a good experience over all.

But i have to ask, DO you get rewards for finishing Gauntlet, and cored, and the others? (i left before i did any of them) Like i said, i was bugged and could not figure out how to do the others once this happened.

Not a big deal for me, But for a newbie i could see this as a bummer. Anyone else get bugged by switching mechs?

and do you end up missing anything by leaving, as it didn't seam to give any sorta of completion pop up for completing the others, once i left the academy and returned with my own mech

seems bugged for alpha strike unless using your mech or a trial mech. The swappable ones in academy dont seem to work.

Just click tutorials again and explore to re-enter

The timed Race awards some nice cbill's
The guantlet does not as far as i know but should try to complete one round of it help ya learn torso twist.

No achievements or rewards in the Academy itself. It is, as advertised, for practice - a better place to evaluate your loadouts than the training grounds.

There actually are a couple of rewards. JC, on your home page in the client, look under achievements. There is a new subcatagory for the Academy, though only the first lesson, running through the smoke-racetrack gives out acheivements. The other lessons after do not. Also, I could not get it to register killing a mech with alphastrike either. I had switched to the Jester beforehand.

Though there are several bugs in the Academy. When switching mechs, you will usually lose the HUD. Just power down and power back up again. I've also noticed that some hits do not register (or register enough damage) on the turrets during the fast fire challenge.
