I tried Streaks and LRMs in a couple of matches, but I found dakka Mechs were the most reliable for KMDs. Even for Clan.

I think it's because they both do high DPS and the killing blow, which through component destruction is an important chunk of damage as well.

Actually hybrid streak Timber or a streak Scat are pretty good at hunting lights. Timber is tanky and Scat is fast and very mobile (JJs and MASC). The main thing in all this is not to win but to do KMDD on light mech. Use map, wait for appropriate moment, seek out light mechs, hunt them down, ignore other targets at any cost, do not engage more than one (or two lights if you run Timber) etc etc. This tactic most of the time isn't good for wining the drop. But it works when you got to fulfill your real goal of doing KMDD on light mechs. And it worked for me pretty well.

Also when you run IS mechs the best anti light weapon is LPLs. In my case it was Thunderbolt and Quickdraw. Triple LPLs eat light mech legs like a charm.

Was there ever an official statement on what they were going to do with the reward situation? I got what I was supposed to get, but knowing there were other Dav loyalists that got and Exe... and I want those cbills too.

Mostly so I can buy black knights.

You will get nothing else cuz you hadn't done cumulative event goal before PGI fixed that "bug".

Yes and I reposted it a few pages back, along with the statement that they were going to "do something for the loyalists"

Finally this kill stealing event is over. Thanks to an 11 day lasting event that was ultimately announced 20 minutes before its start, and thanks to a one-liner in the patch notes about recruiting tickets, thanks to a message-of-the-day that doesn't work but instead shows all 240 members of my unit joining each day, and thanks to a reward system for both sides, there have been 4 members who left my unit for the rewards and now expect me to pay 12 million for each one to get them back into the unit.

You owe me 48 million , PGI!

So how bout that something for the loyalists?

[Stegastreisand]

Ya I kinda feel that by trying to play the "team" game and actually listening to callers I got {LT-MOB-25} blocked from my executioner. I had zillions of kmdds from mediums and heavies as they were always on the way to the objective. Did get all the other goods tho.

I like to use my Streak-Cat by locking the target and then JUMPING before chain firing...the streaks will turn down onto the target and hit from above, better chances that they hit the arms and torso and not the legs. Also the target isn't likely expecting that and if they were aiming at you, will probably miss.

So much for loyalty. (You can charge your "former members" if they are so eager to join back.).

Well, I guess now it's official: the loyalists did not get anything extra. The event is over, the patch has been deployed, but no account injections so far. To be fair, though, they didn't promise to give anything to the loyalists, they just said they'd think about it...

My Event Match Stats:



tl:dr Clans OP

I'm curious: For what where those clan/IS matches "required"? Clearly, it cannot be for completing the overall challenge and earn the mech and a mech bay, since one of the goals was to play 16 scouting and 16 invasion matches, which seems impossible to reach with 3/15 matches respectively you played with clans.

You only needed to play 16 matches in total ... not 16 as IS and another 16 as Clan.

Didn't quite get enough to get the full reward, but wanted to leave a shout out to all the great players i dropped with and against this event.

Had the privilege of commanding several drops full of solo players. We got to show several clan teams what a bunch of solo players and pugs can do. Again you guys were all awesome and thanks for the drops. Remember whether we won or lost, it was a fantastic time.

Hope to see you all on the battlefield again.

To all the units and commanders out there, don't forget that new players are the life blood of the game. Bring them in, teach them, and help elevate them. Not only will you have more friends to play with, but they will go out of their way to play with you.

Ah, seems like I didn't pay attention. So it was only the 10 KMDD per weight class that needed to be done after switching allegiance for non-loyalists to get both mechs and the mechbays?

PGI must really hate loyalists then... those guys who would make population in Faction Play a little more predictable...

[Kell Aset]

I must say that as of late during invasion matches I'm getting terrible, disgusting slowdowns & screen freezes at random, bc of those I got killed like once or twice per match + loading of invasion maps takes quite longer than usual. Quick matches and scouting both work more or less ok for me, like always, I have no idea why this is happening, the only thing I installed on my pc lately are new drivers for my gfx card, I used repair tool, then redownloaded whole game, didn't help.

That said, against all the odds I completed the event, got my free stuff along with Zeus, thanks for freebies.

Do you use decals?

I noticed slowdowns and freezes after I added them. I took them off and the problems stopped.

No Appogee, I don't have any decals on my mechs.

In fact someone offered me 50 $ via paypal to take him back into the unit after the event. But tell me, how do I charge them? I have to pay first into the coffer to invite them into the unit. Then voluntarily they can pay money into the coffer. I will not get my money back. 48 million for a one liner in the patch notes 3 months ago ..

that means your unit has 0 c-bills at the moment?
Ok. Your Unit has 100-200 members?

Solution:
Unit meeting, please every member pay 1 million c-bills into the unit coffer. Otherwise I can't Invite the 4 guys who left the unit.
Because I will not pay 48 million c-bills of my own money. We are a group so everybody pays.

To the 4 guys who left the unit. You can join my unit if you pay the invite costs immediately after you joined the unit.
