I did get the Cyclops kill challenge last night though. I feel kinda sorry for the driver, but they had a much diminished team and this one was the rearmost assault. I started pecking at it with my Cheetah because of that, only to realise when closing it was a Cyclops. So no suicide run, legit kill. With a light. This newb is feeling a tad smug.

Glad this event ran on my Friday night, even if I had mostly terrible matches. Still not sure if a specific 'kill the new toys' challenge is all that nice though.

Is there an achivement for racking up the most games without getting a kill or even an assist while doing mediocre damage ?

You could give out little "Sucklops" badges....


Cyclops certainly does not suck, its a damn good mech.

Also, i got the cyclops kill bounty thing, while driving a cyclops.

Nothing to see here, just another event.

I don't wish to be anywhere near those cheating the system and simultaneously destroying new players' experiences.

It's a shameful act by selfish people.

Technically it is not cheating. Many high Tier players have alt accounts that they play. Some do it to have separate IS and Clan accounts. Some do it for other reasons. Two of the four weight classes for the Weight of the World Event were won by Tier 1 players on new alt accounts with one a repeat winner from the previous Assault Event. PGI has no rules against it and even makes money off of it so it is not cheating.

I do question the motivation in doing it. They win MC, C-bills and other prizes but what use is it if they only play the accounts for Events? Is there a means of using the Mercenary Unit coffers to transfer the winnings to their regular account so they can make use of it if they sign both of their accounts up to the same unit?

Otherwise, it just seems to be something like LeBron James disguising himself so he can join a high school basketball team and wreak havoc on the kids. Any championship he would win under that circumstance would be meaningless and his reputation would be forever tainted. I do not understand why anyone would want to do it or enjoy doing it.

Heh, during events, your ranking on the leaderboard should act as a modifier on your tier, meaning that if you do it on a new alt and get in the top 25 you drop in tier 1

They know that they might not get anywhere near as high playing their mains with other equally experienced players, so they prefer to get their scores killing newer players, which to me is pathetic. Equally, it makes the leaderboards pathetic because you never know how some people got their scores up now do you?

Unless its their main account.....

Just some people in this game, like all pvp games, are sad and get their kicks from killing the easiest people to kill. Their choice, but i don't know how they manage to sustain any dignity knowing they do it. They must have some cool story they tell themselves to justify it.

Even making an alt account to me makes no sense, unless you are using it to abuse the system.

Events used to be so different. The game went the wrong path after they decided to join Steam. And it even had plenty of issues waiting to be fixed before...

Now good old players left, we always have games like "hide behind the rock until we all die..."or "cluster like noob fucktards... dont forget the "go to the same stupid position and just wait", etc...

The new player base and the PGI politics now degrading this game may be the ones responsible for the bleak future of MWO.

Another weak and unattractive event, played mostly by the gullible idiots that trash their money to get now targeted upon.

Sure, we may keep playing this, but it is now rarely enjoyable.

Canyons map...all the sheep run to the center, the smart ones flank the canyon edge of the map. Sometimes it works great. Except when there's only me and 1 other smart player on the team, and the other team got EIGHT smart people.

Wasn't sure what you were doing at first in that canyon drop last night... but stuck with ya anyway on the outer flanking run to base. Was a refreshing and fun run on Canyon for sure! Thanks for the match.

I get that a lot. I am an old school hunter of prey... I know crossfires and thinner rear armor require flanking... not just huddling in the middle tripping over one another.

I hope they keep that KMDD vs new released mech requirement for future releases.
