Not saying it's a bad event, but it's not for me.

Lance formation is impossible with PUGs.
Have a great match and get 2 solo kills? Only counts once.
Do that and run out of ammo? Sorry the rest of your team took a nap so you die.
10 hours? Not counting queue time? Yeah, not happening. The Boy has a new Airsoft rifle, so I'm going to go play a different FPS.

PLease explain to mee... how can i achieve ANY goal when i get disconnected from the game servers after a few seconds? It happens every time since the event started!!!

So... PGI... i suggest the following roadmap:

1.) Repair your damn servers.
2.) When 1. is done, add the missing time to the event.

It's not that difficult, actually. Just find a buddy from your lance and stick with him I've already done that part. The most difficult one for me is the 4x Component Destroyed. I mean, destroying 4 components on enemy mechs in one match is already a challenge, but doing it 11 times... Not sure if it's even doable, unless you are playing against really weak opponents who just let you pick and choose which parts of their mechs you want to destroy.

Oh and another thing...

5 Games so far, 1 i could play... the rest was a disconnect/rejoin orgy.

Not funny.

How exactly are you supposed to:


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.

You actually have to hit Override AFTER you shut down normally, not before.

[MachnogMorb]

Another 5 minutes Penalty for no reason.

Damn... fix this and reset event timer!

[Crushko]

Looks like nobody needs the capture assists for the "Castle Byers" event goal.

People (almost) never vote for conquest and if you are in an assault, they dont go for the base.

The flea??? nice bug. Drone bug in Wall not cont event???

[GrimReaper74]

Kudos to the person who conceived this event... in my opinion this is by far the most ********, moronic, idiotic and stupid thing I have ever seen in this game. This definitely sets new standards.

[Wecx]

This is a sad attempt to satiate the community, we ask for new game-modes etc, and instead we get a badly thought up event.

[Sevronis]

Huh.. these are different. Some may take a while (like the 3rd Person View one) and others will merely require me to tweak a mech with Tag and NARC, but Im kinda liking this change up.

Figures this happens during the first full weekend to play the new WoW expansion since its launch....would rather this was next weekend's event but since I have off work on Monday, shouldnt be a big deal to get play time for this event in.


Also... for "The Flea" do you have to be in 3rd person view the whole match? or do you only have to start one with it enabled (meaning if I could go back to 1st person to get the kill and win a match)?

Some of these are good (something is coming, it's not rocket science), some are better off as achievements (super powers, the upside down) except "the flea" which is only bad one.
A challenge should be something that everyone can do without altering his playstile just by trying more.
Here are some of my ideas about challengies

Tank damage: Do not die with more than 25% health
Rescue a friendly: Destroy the components (or kill) of a mech that is heavily damaging a friendly mech
bull's eye : kill a mech without spreading the damage
survive: when you are cored and under fire leave the line of sight of all enemies for 10 seconds
Waste enemy ammo: when under lrm fire make the missiles hit the cover while you are still locked on
Teamwork: Shoot the same mech as your nearest ally.

[CyanEyd]

I agree, the 3rd person view challenge IS challenging because of the difficulties inherent in that particular mode. It took me two matches in an Archer to meet this challenges' requirements once. For some inexplicable reason it is damned near impossible to achieve missile lock on a target in 3rd person. So PGI, if this challenge is meant to act as some sort of beta test for 3rd person play, take it from me, the mode needs work now!

[Renegade Preacher]

Seriously... have you at PGI ever played MWO in 3rd Person View?
Have you ever noticed the aiming is almost impossible with lasers and/or Ballistics? (recticule locking into hills and friendly mechs...)
Do you know what this means???

A lot of players using LRMs from 3rdPV (again recticule can't lock even narced targets...)

Are you Serious?!?!?
This are the "Mechwarrior Things" that take players to the verge of the uninstall button...

Think about this, and introduce a MWO Real Economy, instead of giving us with a few scrappy gift.

1 Kill, Survive, and Win the match. While in 3rd person mode

- I got a kill, I survived, We won, I started in 3rd Person mode (checkmark in box)

Still at 0/3 tho.. o.O

[Dr Gonzo316]

Hats up PGI! First time the challenge is really challenging, because you cannot simply play some games and be done with it. Some things are quite annoying, like the 3rd person thingy, but still I like the idea of doing sth. different from the usual kmdd, matchscore stuff.

But, you should have given the ppl you achieve everything at least a mech.

[MachnogMorb]

Server connection keeps suckin

Kicked 5 times in a row... if you add all loading screen times, you know the qm is over.

[Der Kopfsammler]

That 3rd person view challenge is complete nonsense... So, we have to go to that broken 3rd person view, kill one, survive and win... However, if you back into a wall or something, the little drone pulls us back into 1st person, and it ruins our progress... So why dont ask us do to it while doing a handstand as well? And whats worse, we have to do it 3 times??... No thanks.

All others are prety doable, except those couple broken ones...

[MachnogMorb]

Yeah... another 10 min penalty for no reason!
