... You mean playing three matches per day to get the grand prize?

This requires very little time per day for the top prize.

Even as a guy who can rarely do much in events, I think I can bang off a couple matches a day.

I'm really happy to see a more spread out event instead of the traditional "grind all weekend" event that l's totally impossible for me to do.

Just a couple games per day though? I'll just do med/hvy/assault, that'll get me 3 kmmd rewards and the daily showing up reward. 3 matches a day is totally doable.

Yeah I'm just planning to level up mechs and get the KMDD as they come in - shouldn't be hard. Only difference for me is instead of levelling the 4 Griffins as I was about to do I'll do a Jenner, Griffin, one of my new heavies and a Kodiak. All needing xp as bought in sales (except the kodiak obviously) so the prizes will just be nice bonus extra's.

I had to read this three times to understand it. I feel like I should get a free challenge point for understanding the challenge.

Yeah it was posted right before bed so I totally misread it at first. Came back and read it again this morning.

I have mechs at every weight class to level, so its just extra cbills and MC payouts for playing I'll already be doing.

Only 15 hours until this starts.

17 day event?!? MY GOD!! I better clear my schedule!

If you go all the way you can earn a grand total Event Reward of 400 MC, 4 Standing Cockpit Items, and over 8,000,000 C-Bills!

I get the 400 MC. But how do I get 8mm cbills? Adding up the chart, at most I get is $935,000.

There are 17 points available for getting the Reward Tier matchscore 80
There are 68 points available for getting each weight class KMDD, 4 per day
That makes 85 point total available.

Which means you also got to Tier 17 reward level.. and the cbill multiplier from the chart at level 17 is 95,000.

So, 85 * 95,000 = 8,075,000 cbills

Took me a couple passes to finally figure it out too

Hmm, I halfway expected that we need to show up with mountain line camo with the colors black, red and gold to be eligible

You, sir (or madam), need to be hung upside-down from the nose of a Jenner 'JR7-F'... If PGI set a prerequisite like that, there would be an insane uproar from the community. I'm sure you're joking, but that kind of thought makes me think "No... Just No... as in, NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"... Like, no offense to Germany and its' people, but that really would be overkill on the theme.

Question.

Since Faction Warfare (finally) counts for this mode...can you score all the KMDDs you need in a single match using the appropriate mechs? Or is it 1 KMDD per match period like Mechwarrior Things was?

Like, if I drop in an Assault, Heavy, Medium, and Light in a single Faction Warfare match, and I score a KMDD with all of them, do I get all four points in a single match for the day?

[Kael Posavatz]

it would seem that way, yes

[Commander A9]

Time seems to be dictated by "UTC."

Which essentially is Greenwich Mean Time, the global universal clock.

https://www.timeandd...ck/timezone/utc

If you are USA Eastern Standard Time, you are 4 hours behind UTC. So, that means the event for USA EST starts at 8pm TONIGHT.

Plug your location into this, and that will determine what UTC time it is in your area.

Thanks Man! I have added 2 Urbanmech Stien Cockpit items to your account!

Looks like that wasn't completely DV Denell's idea! 627 you have some Cockpit Items coming your way too!

[Commander A9]

That's pretty kickass! I don't even drink and I think this is awesome. XD

This should be a fun event.

I actually looked up the old news from 2014 when germany won the world cup and you made that sale, but there wasn't an image of the camo. The Atlas looks glorious by the way!

Atlas' should always drink double fisted. I approve of the new artwork!

No artwork on the front page news yet...

There's still hope Alex is drawing up an Atlas in lederhosen carrying fistfuls of giant urbie beer steins.

edit: and if he's not drawing that, he SHOULD.

Close enough <3
