btw you dont need to complete everything every event.

LOL, I know. The OCD is in overdrive this time around. By the end PGI will have half their customers squatted in a dark corner giggling and mumbling to themselves with a vicious shout every few minutes.

Hmm...Defensive Kills are going to be tough...not alot of people actually can intercept captures given how far strung out the capture points are.

It says we can achieve it in Faction Play, but there are no capture points in Faction Warfare...so how do we go about doing that?

I'm actually asking the community, here-us.

If anyone managed to get the Defensive Kills, how did you manage to pull it off? And how can you do it in Community Warfare?

you have to kill a mech while it caps your base, it is not possible in community warfare as there is no cap points there. PGI just dont know little things like that

[Commander A9]

Obviously not, seeing as how it says Defensive Kills can be achieved in Faction Warfare. :/ Nice going, PGI.

Could've awarded a defensive kill for killing a target which is shooting your generators, or mobile command HQ. :/

No one exactly stands inside a cap zone and lets other people shoot him. :/

ok... i must be doing something wrong here..

3rd person: i set the 3rd person view via setting before choosing a match... i get into a mech, game launches, i get a kill, dont die ( i suppose this is what "survive" means?), and team wins... is that how its suppose to go? because ive done at least two matches with this outcome and no count on the 3rd person challenge...

run out of ammo challenge
i run a rifleman ac2x4 .. match about to end, i fire the last salvo at nothing just to empty... no credit for empty ammo challenge... so, should i run out while in a fight and run and try to survive?

and finally,

overheat challenge
i set mech to overheat, but no overide (mech cools down, no shut down), after it cools enough, i activate overide and overheat again.... i run away cool down.. match ends im alive... no credit to challenge (btw, all this while actually shooting a target)... 8(

everything else done 8)

little help pls...
thanks

Can't seem to get capture assist. I only need one more. No idea how I managed to get it so far.

I'm really annoyed that protecting a generator in FW doesn't count as a defensive kill. That's bogus!

That's pretty messed up.. was wondering what might count as the defensive kill in CW/FW play. As you can't really force a team to go in and cap your base in QP Assault match. This is why I suggested that limit be lowered to just 1 of those .. that pure luck thing.

At the moment having fun trying to get the 3rd person stuff to work right.. been on maps that don't seem to have dropships, got my kill, have survived and win the match but still no credit. Maps have been Terra Therma, & Bog just now.

I was trying to figure out which maps here all qualify as I have heard any map that has been refined with a drop ship will not work for you.

My list of good maps is Bog, Mining, Canyon, HPG, Alpine, Terra Therma, and Torm Desert, which is only half the maps in Quick Play (QP).

Only thing I can think of that is preventing me from getting credit is having folks bump into me or bumping into wall thus partly pushing me back toward first person view, which seems so dumb.

Extending the event isn't going to be a solution, personally I think they should just grant everyone the 3rd person view as long as your attempted it, but I know an answer regarding this post won't come in a timely matter. My only solution is to continue to try at failing and just hope I get lucky.

I like the new Challenge, but Time is too short for a Casual Player like me.

I got mine , when it was already over 50% captured, before I entered, and I noticed I got the capture assist.

not sure if one needs to wait that long, but it's the only thing I've noticed, since when I enter before 50%, all I get is capture, could had just been chance it happened that way

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.

Totally not what the challenge said. And must be the same thing with TAG. Oh, lord... WHY????

[Noxcuse]

this kind of bs is so nice that more and more people leaving the game......not only the way of the game..now the event´s get crapped...

[The Big Dan Theory]

Also, override stuff is not working.

So far what do we have broken?
- 3rd person thing;
- Override thing;
- Narc kill thing;
- Tag kill thing;
- Depleted ammo thing;


Anything else that is broken, please update your friends and spread the word in game to avoid the trouble that a lot of players gonna have trying to achieve impossible stuff.

[Commander A9]

Well, they're not broken. I've gotten all of the challenges done (except for the Defense Kill..I need 2 more...).

It's just that sometimes the game doesn't track or that you have to complete them in specific steps in order to score the points.

Yeah. Inflexible I know. Load of crap. Absolutely. Need to be fixed and have players awarded for the progress they've made: You bet!

Also, don't forget that your tracker doesn't update immediately. It takes half an hour.

Capture assist btw is the 100 CB capturing payout you get when capping a collector or MFB.

So far I have managed all the stuff but the 3rd person and the defense kills, but managed to get 1 defense kill. Its just nearly impossible to get since you cant force an enemy to come and cap / remain there to die.

A lot of the challenge stuff does take time to figure out or some research through the forum here. I've posted about a few of the things I had found to work.

I had problems getting it, too, but after stalling at 10 of 11 for a long time, I finally got it in a match.
... a bit later it showed up in the "your games" table.
... but even multiple hours later, "Castle Byers" still shows 10 of 11.

Just in case PGI wants to do some debugging, here are the corresponding Game IDs:

I did not play another match and did not start the client since that match, because ... sleep.

You think that's bad. Mine showed short. I could count the various matches played that showed the Cap Assist.. and I was off by like 3... as in it was showing short on the counter, I should have had it completed well before I finally did get the score to totally update.

[DevilCrayon]

The 3PV one seems to count the automatic switch to 1PV when you back into a wall as switching to 1PV and disqualifies the match(es).

[Avian Blackfrost]

I queued with three of my IRL friends and everybody went out of their way to help me get a kill and stay alive while in 3rd person view.... pretty sure I completed the challenge 6 times yet it only counted 2 of them.....

I'm starting to think that even the slightest push of the camera invalidates the 3rd person requirement.....

I'd like to add that even certain slopes and other mechs would push the camera inwards.....
