The requirements for "the flea" (third person view challenge) has been reduced to 1 match.
Pilots who have completed it once will get this reward now.

Unfortunately, The text on the event page will not be changed to reflect this until Tuesday.

Keep in mind results can take time to show up. (up to 15 minutes)

[Matt Newman]

We have confirmed that all these challenges do work (people have earned them).
If we discover that here was an unknown issue blocking these rewards all participant with at least 11 matches will receive the reward for the bugged challenge.

Getting a weird issue with matches not counting- for example, my count for "Achieve a 'Capture Assist' at least once in an Assault or Conquest Match." is at four out of eleven, but scrolling through the list of games played, it lists five games where this has happened. The only other one I can confirm is bugged is "Survive a Quick Play Match in which you have depleted all of your Ammo." which is at one but should be at two.

Some people should. That's a damned good deal - 70% off stock prices. That's the cheapest I've ever seen PGI sell anything.

I wish I didn't own every Mech (except Vindicators) just so I could buy them now

(No, I'm not buying Vindicators at any discount.)

60% off.

I agree with the poster who wanted such events based on Battletech lore rather than pop culture. I do enjoy the current event and the Stranger Things thing but I'd prefer to immerse myself in Battletech.

So, I'm about a day into playing this event, and just now after my last match I was awarded 3 days PT. For what, I don't know, because there is nothing on the leaderboard indicating that I earned such a prize. Damned happy to get the 3 days, but what gives?

[Jalthibuster]

May i suggest counting waiting time for CW matches as "match time"? Would give it at least a little purpose. Have like one hour waiting time now without a single drop.

In the end, I hope you're getting the metrics you need from this.
Thanks

Nice, completed once and that was enough for me, was going to refuse to complete this component.

[CyanEyd]

Ah, I see now that PGI has changed the requirements for "Flea." Did not read that before I posted...thank you PGI

[Taffer]

"No, not cool." is broken. I can't get it at all.

[PFC Carsten]

The event is broken and PGI cannot even edit the front page text 'til thursday. Fits.

am guessing this will happen , after we log in today ?

I just took a peek, and I'm still 0 of 3, but I haven't logged in yet. I'll do that now and come back later to check after 15+ minutes

ETA: or did I misread the text part, that we won't see the 3 of 3 till Tuesday, if that's the case, . . Opps spoke too soon

Not sure which one is the error...

3PV on Archer/Warhammer is janky/bouncing up and down like nobody's business and causing motion sickness...
3PV on Kodiak is smooth (XL400 max speed) and quite okay.
Might be the ground with the pebbles causing the bounce up and down...heck, I was getting in/out for the Archer while climbing the hill on Alpine.

Also, seriously reposition the 3PV view for warhammer...having the small view between the LRM launchers is not cool.

Beyond the 3PV thingy, I say the rest of the things are ok and varied, and supposedly able to obtain multiples in 1 match.
Not sure about defensive kill though....haven't tried to kill someone on cap/base...

And to all Mechwarriors....use more UAVs....I need to shoot 1 done for 10 matches...

Doesn't that mean it's working as intended? Pgi will shake on it at the end if they screwed up.

"Dustin Farted." QP/FP Have a total Match Time of 10 hours throughout the course of the event.

I understand why it's the bigger challenge of this event.
Play 10 hours with potatoes trying to achieve weird objectives it's really a big challenge....

[Jabilo]

Almost too exhausting to read let alone play.

I think all challenges should be completable just by people playing as hard as they can to contribute to their team winning and just cut all the stupid sh!t.

Is the overheat/OverRide not working for anyone else? Getting to 2 of 3 was easy but its just stuck now. I know I have had a game in my hunchy and a game in my marauder that should qualify but it doesn't move.

Well this is good to hear, but too bad many of the other challenge descriptions seem to be off.. like Narc/Tag - Cap assist (I am having issue with), the Override heat one I believe should have completed here as well -- Dropped a petition bomb, but as you stated it seem that the Site wont update until Tuesday and/or the petition even be looked at until then.

For the Cap assist .. I have a record of 5, but I look back through the match history listed and I can count 7 Cap assist. very Odd.

I seem to find with TAG/NARC where enemy needs to be destroyed, I manage to get an update if I am the one that gets the kill shot, though the description makes it seem like as long as he dies it should work.

Another of the challenges I seem to have issue with is the Counter ECM one... while you have a beagle in the mech since beagle has a farther area of effect even though I have gone to counter mode on ECM and got up close and personal.

Overall - things seem very messed up based on the descriptions and you need to become a rocket scientist to learn how to decode the challenges in order to complete them.

Well back to the grind, hoping I can get this stuff knocked out, though I'd rather be earning xp on new mechs.

Overheat part is working fine, just turn on override at the start of the match, fire at the floor till you go over 100 percent heat and then turn it off and proceed normally.

Sorry no I did exactly this in my storm crow-b, even won and survived the match but I didn't get my 3rd update. just one of my other complaints here about how badly things are not working for this set of challenges.
