PGI, you wanted to know what we think about this Challenge? To be honest... bugged ****!

Why encuraging using the 3PV? You can't see the Minimap, the Arms are fixed and you cant even use the Battlegrid!?!
And then you need a Kill, Survive and the Team needs to win? Either survive or Win is already hard enough for a lot of people. Specially when winning strongly depends on the Team. It encurages hiding as well and this is something i don't want to see in MWO.
And if all this is not bad enough, your tracking is broken. I can tell of at least one Match that should have counted.

Same goes to the Overheat and the Tag. They don't count as intended.

3,5 Days for bugged Challanges?

anyone attempting to complete "The Flea" personal challenge is guilty of team killing, or going AFK, and should be reported as such. Same with the "He's Dead" challenge.

I'm seeing players just stop playing after a few minutes and sit there, or running out and suiciding.

Never be able to finish all those. But most are fun. The 3th person view is horrible. Makes people that go for it a burden to the rest of the team trying to play with shaking cam , no map and all around broken view.

stop belting about 3rd PV battles. just dont do them? like, seriously? .....

[ImperialKnight]

it's been a fantastic event for people who are playing normally. people completely lost without their maps, can't shoot to save their lives in 3PV. my ACH and SCR is having a field day picking them off. not to mention the LRM spammers, nothing like going up to their cockpit going "What up bro?" and slowly torturing them to death because they don't have any weapons that can hit you under 180m.

[Kael Posavatz]

As near as I can tell, because the DropShips automatically make you use 1st person, the 3pv only works on maps without dropships, but I'm not sure.

100 % agree with that.

You guys finally got a little bit creative. Nice. But late announcement though, guess Labor Day isn't a big deal in Canada.

Careful, smoked...they get REAL touchy up there when start mentioning United States holidays.

Sooo, I cant have my own TAG on the enemy when I get 3rd person kill?
I'm considering breaking my monitor rly hard right now .

"The Flea" points aren't registering. I've got two this morning but aren't showing up, after a couple of hours. Might want to look into that.

More like it works randomly. I got one match on a map with drop ship that counted and another one wasn't. Then I got map without a drop ship that wasn't counted. This challenge is completely broken!

These challenges do not promote a fun playing environment. Having challenges that make you play your best should be the goal. Making everyone do idiotic things just makes the game not fun. I'm personally just going to play my best, normally that means that i would complete all challenges and receive all rewards. This time playing your best will net you 15% of the rewards.

[Aramuside]

Horrendous competition full of players doing bizarre things they'd never normally do.

Anyone doing it is a pure liability to their team.

Just noticed that PGI seem to have some unhealthy obsession with sh*t. It's the second time this year that they are giving out colors that literally look like sh*t as event rewards. The previous one was called "Opiment", if my memory serves me right...

They are. If you happen to glitch into 1st person at any time (close walls or allies or stuff), the match will not count towards "the flea".

Idiotic things like? And do not dare beating the dead horse called 3rd person.
Use TAG? Use Narc?

How exactly are you supposed to:

Quote

Survive a QP Match in which you have Overheated, at least once, while Override was engaged.

I'd assume Override, then get too hot and have stuff on my mech blow up as a result. If so, it's another one that isn't tracking. I think it's a waste of time to ***** about the challenges...except in the case where they aren't working as intended.

I think I might know what the problem is with The Flea.

When you start a match, you're already in the cockpit, even with the option to start in 3rd person enabled. Only after the power-up sequence does your view retract to show the outside of your mech.

Even though the option is enabled, because of the way the match actually starts, it may be invalidating the challenge right from the start.

How about a nice game of chess?

Yeah, but like Joshua, we can learn, too.
