Okay, I've been painting bad guys like hell with TAG while they explode, and yet I'm not getting any credit for "I'm The Monster."

What am I doing wrong here?

Well that is probably a 5 day break from MWO for me.

I won't play when half of my team is running arond in 3PV trying to get a kill, or doing some other batsh*t crazy thing while trying to get 11MC.

I won't deal with people playing even more lunatic than usual.

Dude , It's just a game.
You'll get over it

Yeah, i will easily get over it by not playing. I'm playing games to enjoy them, i know i won't enjoy MWO during this event, so i won't play it.

FUN FACT: "The Flea" challenge might require you to get, SPECIFICALLY, *****ONE AND ONLY ONE***** kill, stay in third person and have it enabled by default with no going into first person even by accident, survive the match, and also win.

3rd person view challenge didn't count for me! I won already 2 times with a kill in 3rd view, but the counter shows 0!

Narc kills are definitely not registering. I have about 5+ already, but 0 registered.

Edit: I figured it out. You need to have MISSILES kill the NARC'd target. Which is not what the challenge says.

Yes I think this should be "At Least 1 Kill" not only 1.... this means that to get this challenge you have to get that kill then go hide like a noob. Serious PGI why encourage people to play badly?

This is a cool event. Lots of quirky challenges, rather than the usual Most Damage, Most Kills, Most XP, etc.

Having seen the show as well, the Cyclops is the right choice for the cover mech.

But as Alistair said, it'd be nice if we got some Battletech Flavor in our "A Battletech Game".

WTB more Lore. Not forced down our throats or anything, but an in game Sarnapedia would be awesome.

Since they haven't fixed the 3rd person bugs in four years... they should just make the achivement, get a kill assist while in 3rd person view, or outright replace it with something involving AMS, and maybe encourage more players to run an AMS the next five days.

The 3rd persion achievement is quite buggy.

Myself and 2 others have achieved it (doing it in settings etc etc) and walking into a low wall or under a bridge and touching it, puts you half back in the cockpit without actually pressing the hotkey for it.

Seems that is causing it not to trigger/register :/

I like this challenge, need to do things in the game that is not the norm . . Good change

the 3rd person one, that's a tough one, no one seems to understand, in thirdperson, no grid.
guess some players don't like change, and just want linear tactics.

The 3dr person challange is definitively NOT contributing to team play. Please don't do that again.

Activate Third Person View and in a match, get 1 Kill, Survive, and Win the match.
This must be done through enabling "START IN THIRD PERSON" option in game setting screen and not disable it during the match


Why in the name of GOD would you "trick" people into using this "feature". Gladly I allmost never see people using it anymore, let's keep it that way.

Serpent, you're not alone in that thought. Trust me. I can't even fathom the reason for using it. I prefer first person, not the stupid Third. Plus, it's making me dizzy.

I really like some of these challenges, becuase they reflect the tasks that should be done by light mechs. Scouting and targeting.

The current ultrafast tip of the spear assault lights we have to day is not my flavor.
