Well...this is how you attempt to squeeze money from the freeloaders. Game rewards for most MMOs evolve over time. Deal with it.

When was the last personal challenge we got mc as a prize?


...

[Desintegrator]

Hey, what a long event !!

It is not the usual 72 hours grinding like during the other events...no now we can play even more hours.

Here we go again...

So more or less confirmed, no more MC for prizes for the general public. Yeah, keep improving your image with the community PGI, you're doing great.

And now I'll just wait for PGI to wipe the smug looks off both your faces by still rewarding with tiny amounts, since they seem to enjoy doing that to everyone, regardless of who they are.

Unfortunately for you two, I don't get smug looks on my face. Heck, PGI has yet to cause me to have any kind of smile for more than a short time over anything.

I kinda was hoping we'd get some MC's to open the crates we have already...
I see where this is going and it kinda makes me sad.

Gone are the gold days and into the dark age we set.

I hope there's a U-Turn on this mechbay and MC tightness. People are enjoying buying mech packages which cost far more, but hey.

Personal challenge for 7 days is way too small/short..

[Idealsuspect]

Ok now it's official after did stop give mechbay as event reward with steam launch, now it's turn of MC rewards to be wipe out with supply cache feature ( pretty sure that cockpit item rewards will come back in next event ).

Well whatever but for god sake stop doing thoses poor " event " during one full week. 3 days is enough now there is no valuable reward also nobody will ask you to extand thoses kinds of poor "events" anymore.

They could eliminate the personal challenge part altogether you know and just have leaderboard events for the mechs alone. Don't have a qualifying mech? Oh well then this event isn't for you. I have the full viper variant set and I'm currently not using them for the event. I'm using my kodiaks to kill vipers. But the prizes for leaderboards are basically the same except they've replaced the top 75 prizes with a supply key instead of another C-bill consumables pack. So instead of getting some c-bill items that most people complain about getting, you get the equivalent of 25 MC.

Incidently...while I haven't re-installed the Ultra-10s into my KDK-3... I have been enjoying the ghost heat free quad LB-10Xs. At 1000 meters the spread is huge, and I've hit entire lances with one volley.

I didn't mean time, i meant the challenge is too small for 7 days. Yes, it takes about 5-8 average matches to reach all goals, not 7 days. Most can be achieved just in 3 matches. Its a joke, not a challenge for 7 days.

It is amazing how people can and will complain about anything and everything.

I am not saying i agree with pgi on everything, but i would like to point out to those i have seen threatening not to spend another dime on this game until their demands are met... and then proceed to rant about new things... i hate to break it to you but i think pgi not going cave so you can stop with the whole "little kid holding his breath till he gets what he wants" routine.

News flash, they are listening to the people giving them money now, not 2 years ago...

The event duration is for the LEADERBOARD players... not people who didn't buy vipers.

So basically its an event just for Viper owners. Yes, it makes sense.

Well... THAT should be obvious in the title...

Two supply caches, 1 supply key. lol

I know ... noticed that right away! They want to sucker you in with the first free one then hopefully get you to drop some MC on the key for the second! lol

Early Final Review, 2016 July "Viper Leaderboard and Personal Challenge Event" ---

Well, I'm done with the Personal Challenge in less than 5 hours of battle time. Picked up everything, but didn't manage to Master any Mechs that I can work on that goal for. Not getting any from the Personal Challenge part of the Event, however, has caused me to choke on trying to open the Supply Caches for now.

As noted before, the Viper LeaderBoard is too bloodthirsty. As I'm unable to be part of that, my notes on that end here.

See you all at the next event, perhaps. I'll just have to hope that PGI takes notice of my previous feedback on how to perfect their events. They were close before to perfection, then totally slipped away.

As for this...

They want to get some from players, they'll have to give some as Personal Challenge Event Rewards. It's never a 'take without giving' relationship.

[TheLuc]

Supply Crates don't actually bother me, just that I think its really not worth it to spend real cash over an AC5 you can buy with 3 losses.

[Ooorky]

I just wasted 25 MC...
