All three of my "No, not cools" today didn't register.

Thank you for highlighting that kindly which shouldve been done on the event page itself though.

That's just empiric knowledge deduced from when i got point and when i don't. That way i reliably got required 3 points as opposed to overheating only with override on and only with override off in separate matches when i got no points.

So you need to overheat twice?

Very well.

How do you get a Defensive Kill in faction play...

It seems i confirmed that for overheat event to register you need first overheat once with override on and then overheat once with override off so you go int heat shutdown

That seems to have worked, thank you!

"the Flea" challenge should reward finishers with an actual flea..as in the 'mech
Mostly due to the vomit inducing, snap to god knows what reticule, and the incessant bounce on the screen/reticule you have to endure to get anywhere close this criteria

[Alienized]

Tag Kill is also bugged. just had a match where a mech died to LRM'S while my TAG was on him. lrm mech had no view on the dying mech yet no TAG KILL bonus.

Remember, they're all tied to achievements/reward, or most of them anyway.

"I'm the Monster" : TAG Kill
"Monster Hunting" : NARC Kill
"Like a Ninja" : TAG Stealth
"Sensory Deprivation" : Counter ECM Damage
"Hawkins Energy" : UAV Detection
"Keeping the Curiosity door closed" : UAV Kill

I'm pretty sure I've missed a couple of those too.

I'm pretty sure the game isn't picking up on alot of our rewards/achievements...

I think the Devs where probably a LOTTLE drunk when they came up with this, Append "And then take a shot" To the end of each challenge for the real experience

[Chagatay]

The truly hard one for me has been defensive kills...(mostly because conquest is never picked)

i actually think the devs made this event out of pure Troll mood since the community cried loud for a event.... and why not.
it amuses me since the comm also cries that PTS is empty...

besides, it actually shows that the devs want to notice the bugs with stuff like tag kills or narc kills. because info warfare ya know. (no sarcasm here.)
its rather pointless to put info warfare in if the registrations for such kills is massively bugged.

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.

Twin ultra AC5s on a fast Victor or Cataphract is how I got mine. I found it quite easy that way. Might help.

[Alienized]

narc kills also arent counted correctly. 4 mechs died with my narc on, several by lrms only. no narc kill.....

Let’s summarize what we already know about ‘the flea catastrophe’ for those who are still struggling with it out there:
When getting your back to the wall or a team-mate gets too close behind you, the TPV camera automatically gets back to the cockpit (sometimes for a very brief moment). The algorithm sees this as a deliberate (!) leaving of TPV, so if this happens, even the otherwise legitimate game (kill+win+survive) does not count. This is an extremely frustrating bug, sometimes you can’t even tell when it happened - many had games which seemed perfectly ok, but they weren’t accepted. The problem is fierce on maps with plenty of vertical walls and narrow passages (especially Mining and Crimson, Canyon for some reason…). Try to play maps with more ‘natural’ terrain (e.g. Alpine and Polar are ok). Another thing is that TPV mode is generally broken on its own: the crosshair does not move smoothly, but jumps unpredictably from object to object. Precise aiming is almost impossible. As a remedy, you can stick to LRMs, whih with all those guys narcing and tagging, is actually working, at least for me. There is also no minimap in TPV and nothing can help this except your own situational awareness. On the top of that, we all know that getting kill+win+survive in a PUG que is very random, as it heavily depends on your team, so prepare for a mindless grind and questioning of your own sanity if planning to accomplish this goal. All in all, PGI shot itself in the foot quite spectacularly, making a buggy goal from a buggy mode...

I notice I'm at 3 now... I juyst keep playing and I guess it happens when I pilot mostly Assaults.

That one isn't picked either (always skirmish/domination)

Yeah, dakka definitely helps with the "destroy 4 components" objective. Dual and quad C-UAC10s worked well for me Although it's still a royal pain in the arse.

Did YOU kill them with homing missiles or allies? I think the YOU need to narc/tag AND kill with homing missiles.

It would be friendly, if we get more time for this challenge.
