Same problem with defence kills, got 1 when was not protecting anything. When killed the guy who was capping our point at conquest got nothing... something is broken with defkills

[Commander A9]

I think it counts only for Assault, but even then, I killed a dude attempting to cap our base, and didn't get it.

Maybe he has to be killed while inside the base perimeter...

This is the last challenge I need...and I need two damn more!

Actually, I remember how I got mine!

It was Conquest on Polar Highlands. We killed an enemy trying to take a point we owned!

So...

1. Base or Point must be owned by your team
2. Enemy must be killed while inside your point which is still owned by your team
3. I think...

Because one of our guys also got a defensive kill while killing an enemy while capping an enemy base on Assault...

Yeah, defensive kills are so situational.

Most of the other challenges were just really poorly worded in one way or another. Like the telemetry being checked was for TAG/NARC kill (as in, the in-game c-bill reward) as opposed to a mech killed while TAGed or NARCed, or the thing with Ninja where the way it was written you had to TAG a mech and not have line-of-sight on any enemy.

Defensive kills? If you aren't in just the right place at just the right time and if the enemy isn't in poor health or... yeah. This one is going to take a while.

[Commander A9]

I don't suppose PGI could award the prize for the Defensive Kill challenge to everyone who's managed to get just one or two, eh?

Or better yet, maybe explain to us how to secure these rewards in Faction Play, since the challenge is marked FOR faction play as well?

I'm tempted to just say 'screw this last one.' It's too impossible to engineer the EXACT circumstances to get this point. Not unless you talk the entire enemy team into storming your base so you can kill them all inside the box.

That or camping your capture point in Conquest until the enemy arrives.

Or holding back and playing defense on Assault until the enemy swarms your base and actually enters the perimeter to trigger the reward conditions.

Seriously...PGI did not think this one through...

EDIT:

-53% vote for Conquest...gamemaker picks Assault. REALLY!?

I can only hope we are being re-seeded for a post-release valve version of matchmaker … >:-|

[Commander A9]

And of all the damn games wherein I'm leading base captures, I get no credit for THAT! No way! X(

3 Defensive Kills = 110k = one usual match with bad playing.
MANY Matches and brain blowing instead of one usual bad match?
I even don't will to start farming 3 DefKills for 110k.
For 110MC - maybe.
For Mechbay - yes.

It is good that this reward is so small. That way it will not be missed.
Imagine the outrage if people would not get those 110MC or Mechbay, because this one is so hard to get.

That was 10-15 pages ago. PGI said "we aren't going to update the event page" for some reason. I can't believe people all have the time to dig for these nuggets... it is rather unrealistic to expect people to read all 15 pages at once.

They could have announced this on the event-page though.

oh... the irony. SO looking forward to the other BT game...

[Joe Decker]

Stupid Event - Players play stupid enough even without you Guys at PGI telling them there is a Reward for playing stupid. Please bring more Events that focus on winning as a Team instead of Ego Goals at every Event that are destroying the Basic Idea of this Game.

[Horace83]

Not my kinda event. QP has been total chaos for me, sometimes this is fun but for me it is utterly frustrating.

Positive:
New Goals, hard to get, better than always the same stuff
Shifted playstyle...

Negative:
...to a LRM-fest
QP is completely useless for people not participating in the event.
Frustrating if you try to win, not only to achieve your personal goals.

[Lorne Malvo]

Would be a good event if it wasn't so buggy...

"the flea","no, not cool" points don't stick.

[Corosar]

The flea is also rather bugged for me as well. I swear i have gotten at least 5 kills towards that challenge over the last 2-3 days. i think at this point i am stopping from using the third person cam. its disorienting to me and i just wanted to get it over with.

Same here. I only have had one game that meets the critieria but it didn't count for some reason. I'm not gonna bother with another two games unless that first one is counted. 3pv sucks that much.

[yurraro]

This is perhaps the most terrible event this game had. Not only goals are hard to get and understand, they are incredibly stupid.

I have some free goal suggestions for another stupid challenge:
- kill a friendly mech with override engaged
- do 100+ friendly damage and survive
- lose a game and do 0 dmg
- type 1000 characters in an in-game chat
- press tag button 666 times
- apply a flamer against enemy base structure in conquest mode
- jump and break a leg...

As I know you need make exactly 1 kill and win, but still remains a possibility that you happen a bug with the cockpit , is when you run into backwards into the wall and you see your cockpit

Okay feedback off the top of my head whilst on my phone

Postive:
• Nice to have a very different event. Actually felt like an event weekend.
• Props for the things that encourage good team play... like shooting down the uav.(hopefully more players will remember to do so going forward).
• Quite amusing to hear people genuinely want lrm boats on their team...
• Good variety of things to achieve and nice variety of rewards; mc, cbills, cockpit items, paint, keys, weird boxes that only ever give me what I least want, decals, prem time... yay for paint!!!
• specifc rewards for light and medium mechs; I enjoy having less assaults and heavies in drops for a change.
• Nice synergy between popping uavs and shooting them down.

Negative:
• I think most of this has been covered.... but I will add that I think that odd ball things like the 3rd person view should be a one of one to achieve not three.
• time wise... more would be good. Especially with the 10 hour component.

Scouting mode, kill a mech standing in the bug-out-zone when the loudmouth in the DropShip comes back.

Or that would be my guess anyway

[Alan Hicks]

I am not going to win all things on this event and I don' t care.

Played it because it was different.

The last thing we need here are constant, boring, usual events that pull us out.

Though we all can see the cons, plenty of people like challenges and no doubt they had fun with it. Good to know the ones planning these almost weekly activities, have more new ideas for us to handle around.
