Wonder if I will have the 3PV thing as I started the match in 3PV and did all the requirements but at one point close to a wall I was like projected into my cockpit for ¼ of a second. That was on HPG where everything is totally silent in 3PV but for that ¼ of a second I heard a noise.

I seem to find with TAG/NARC where enemy needs to be destroyed, I manage to get an update if I am the one that gets the kill shot, though the description makes it seem like as long as he dies it should work.



that's what I thought, by the wording I just need to TAG and mech needs to be Destroyed, not I have to be the one that Destroys it
if I need to tag and destroy it needs to read that way something like , "Destroy mech while be tagged by you at the same time"
not

Quote

have TAG engaged against an Enemy while they are destroyed

It's not working that way

I wonder if there is a law in Canada against cruel and unusual punishment.

Also, overheating challenge is not working properly.

Also, i have some great ideas for the next challenges - kill an opponent with a headshot while jumping while legged and survive 0 of 13

Kill an opponent by gauss rifle detonation 0 of 33

Get hit by dropship turret at least 13 times in a match and survive 0 of 13

Kill 12 opponents and die doing less then 300 damage. 0 of 2

Overheat part is working fine, just turn on override at the start of the match, fire at the floor till you go over 100 percent heat and then turn it off and proceed normally.


Yeah, did it like 5 times, only counted once.

going park this game till the event is over. all those people in 3rd person view seem to have a very extreme negative pug team impact (yeah it got worse - unbelievable!)

Did anyone manage to complete The Flea? I am sure I did it all correctly(set 3rd person in options, never pressed F3 to switch to first, killed 1 or more and lived in the end with a victory). Still shows 0 of 3, while many other things I've done in those same matches have already arrived. I hope it's not bugged, it was a real pain in the rear.

See post above, maybe they overlooked times when you jump back into cockpit because of wall near behind, I didn't get it either and that's what I suspect.

Probably because they don't have a minimap...and that 1 effective way to get the 3pv challenge seems to be LRMs....though the method I used was KDK-3 dakka spam

Sorry no I did exactly this in my storm crow-b, even won and survived the match but I didn't get my 3rd update. just one of my other complaints here about how badly things are not working for this set of challenges.


.Exactly. The overheat thing is not working. Stuck at 2/3 also. I have had several games where I fought while in overload or overrode a shutdown. No change. This is not working as intended on my end. Yes I survived the matches in question. Yes it has been more than 30 minutes.

I wanted to aim for the brown color but after 20 matchs I'm still at 0... this one is too hard to achieve. 4 components is a bit much, unless there is a disco.

2 matches ago, I did get a TAG KILL, I know I had many before, but apparently they never counted,
I did not see TAG KILL in my score, when there should had been.
If you get TAG KILL on your score it will register, might be some Lag or Latency, where on my machine I see the Mech TAG, and Destroyed, but the Server doesn't.

"Like A Ninja" is determined by "Tag Stealth." "I'm A Monster" is tied into "Tag Kill."

They're all associated with "achievements" earned in battle in some fashion.

About that TAG and NARC quest. Do you need to get a TAG/NARC kill or you need to TAG/NARC a destroyed mech laying on the ground? Wording is somewhat imprecise.

Your tag must be on the target when missiles destroy it: either your own Streaks or someone else's missiles.

Stealth tag is easy enough: just lase a dude when he can't see you, and preferably none of his team can see you.

Please don't ever challenge me to use 3rd person mode, ever, again. Unless of course you plan to "un-handicap" it for the duration of the challenge. And to offer one of the largest premium time bonuses on that portion of the challenge? What is wrong with you, PGI? This should've been called a "frustration" event, rather than a "challenge" event.

I feel frustrated for having played that many rounds in 3rd person, finaly scoring it thirce but the fact not being registred. Injustice, screw that stupid BS.

Boy, this tag kill stuff was tricky. You'd think with these competitions degrading into LRM battles that it'd be easier. XD
