Hey PGI folks,

Any chance you can allow Deathstar award for 12 kills in CW please, or at least 20+ ....

I'd assume you could only get it in CW if you got your 12 in a single mech.

They should have a new Achievement, too:

Apex Predator. Get 48 kills in a single match.

Alternative name: Unstoppable Force.

I see the epic farming on the Star Map is going strong. Nothing new to see here.

Clan easy mode should be 24+ kills :)

With the number of cheaters in online gaming... (much more than the companies or players admit, and many of the people that shout down claims of rampant cheating are in fact the cheaters themselves hoping their advantage isn't lost, or worst, deniers that pretend their game they enjoy is fair and free of cheating.) Stats end up meaning nothing, especially true in FPSs. Don't look to stats for your enjoyment as many of the people that have the best stats got them through less than forthright means.

Take Death Star for example, many of them come from a glitch where the map was full of disconnected mechs and PGI didn't remove the falsely gained titles.

So just play for fun and stop checking tiers, kaydees, and 'rare' titles.

Getting 12 or even 20 kills in CW is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY easier than getting 12 in a solo match.

No achievements or stats in CW, sorry. I've done well over 12 kills and no Death Star.

Actually, it looks like a pretty good PUG vs PUG battle. The OP is obviously talented... But still, it's too easy to get big kills/big stats in CW for the achievements to apply.

I've yet to see anyone get 12 legitimate kills in standard matches; 11 is highest I've seen recorded.

So, I'm pretty sure 95% or more of those "Death Star" titles were ill-gotten.

I've done 9 legit and have seven add'l AoSs. I have teammates that have 10 legit. The irony is that I'm more like to get a Death Star with my alt account in lower tiers. At Tier 1 there's almost no way.

I've only seen screenshots of 11 legitimately. Getting all 12 kills is completely a luck thing.

I agree, but I didn't post to accuse anyone of anything. Just that when the cheater can get X stats, getting X stats legitimately suddenly loses its value.

imho there is no legit way to get 12 kills in a pug match. even in group queue with a 12 man against someone who isn't dead already this is more or less be impossible.

I have seen 8 - 10 kills, legit with video proof in pug matches. But not a single one with 12 kills in a pug match. not even group queue.

PGI should just delete that achievement, take the heat of the 14 butthurt people and carry on.

I think it could be doable if you had a dedicated 12 man group who was intentionally legging and dismembering mechs to let 1 player get all the kills. I'm sure if you did this, eventually you would be able to get Death Star. I don't think most groups can be bothered to intentionally not kill enemies to help someone get an achievement though. There was that one event where assists were giving more score than kills, what a catastrophe that was.

You can get it with 6-8 ML or MPL, a fast mech, and a lot of lucky timing.

Luck is a huge factor, literally everything needs to fall your way but it's definitely possible.

Agreed. Not one of those people that have it earned it legitimately anyway.

9 is my best too, therefore it's the best! We were supposed to lose that match too or so i thought.
