Second, and this is only confusing because I'm not in that situation, but what happens to past days where you didn't put a checkmark in any of the boxes...does it remain unlocked? If so, can it be filled on a now-current day or do you get an X in it?

It does not remain unlocked... You get stuck with an "X" that makes note of your failure. PGI did not set things up so you could recover lost days after completing the current one.

Even though they didn't give the chance to make up days, I do feel they partially addressed this. They set most of the regular goals so they can be completed in 6 days. Huntsman and Terra therma goals are both this way. The huntsman chassis and daily score goals can be completed in 10 days. The event runs 14 days. So there is a bit of leeway there. I know it is not exactly being able to make up days, but you can miss a couple.

True this, mikerso... It's a good thing they adjusted the "Kill/KMDD a Huntsman Goal" as well, and I very much appreciate that PGI fixed that... Anyway, I was simply trying to quickly answer James Argent's question at the time, without being extra verbose about the matter.

Hi guys, please help me out on this! Do we need to kill/kmdd 6 hunts mans? why there are 14 padlocks to open? Do we get more points if we kill/kmdd more than 6 huntsmans? THX

Yes, you need a mix of six Kills/KMDDs on Huntsman Mechs to earn all the prizes for that section. There are 14, in order to provide enough chances in case of not being able to get a Kill/KMDD on a Huntsman on a given day. Getting more will not award you anything extra beyond the sense that you were able to do better than what many will even have the chance to earn/manage/achieve. Then again, these Huntsman Kills/KMDDs are meant to be shared around in order to give everyone the chance, as a Huntsman's death can provide earnings to two opponents.

I have verified that you can get a point for the kill without the kmdd. I popped a cherry red huntsman with no kmdd and got the point for yesterday.

Same here. Had to get the one back a couple days ago by meeting only one of the two possible criteria, and I hope the other person who helped kill that Huntsman was happy.

Something's not working as intended...

I don't see the point in having multiple variant groupings for the Huntsman.

It's an Omni mech and people will swap pods and have the same build on which ever variant they chose to drop.

Just the CT matters


Graffiti vandal at work ?

Wonder what happens if the line reaches the edge of the page..two lines ?

The bar would stick out of your comperts monitor... to infinity and beyond. Oh well event doesn't go that long.

[Aramuside]

Being away for 2 weeks with work its painful seeing so many goals being out of reach... not worth worrying too much though as nothing I can do about it.

[Alan Hicks]

No matter what teams you get at times , for now this seems like a good combined event. It is relaxing that the achievements can be accomplished by almost everyone who play this, with plenty of time to do so. This was a well thought event and now you don't get the pressure of missing just one day and losing the possibility to get a good final prize.

Loot bags are back and that's great, things are really going to mix up after Monday.

I am suddenly finding it very difficult to find a match on Terra Therma.I played six games yesterday which was easily way more than enough to get all my other goals. I saw Terra Therma come up on the rotation twice, voted for it twice but it never got over 20% of the votes, never saw it.

Today, so far, I have played 3 or 4 games and got all my other goals. Saw Terra Therma twice, voted for it twice, it did not get even 10% of the votes. I really like the revised map and would vote for it even without the event. I thought getting this goal would be a piece of cake and it would have been if all the matches I played on it the first couple days of the event would have counted but now it seems the old Terra Therma voting stigma has returned and I may never see it again for the rest of the event.

Anyone find a trick to getting the day checked off? Maybe playing right after the clock resets when people are all trying to get it?

[James Argent]

Going for Terra Therma right after the new game day starts is a good bet. Actually, that's pretty good advice for every event which requires specific conditions. The only other thing I could think of is to group up with folks and get a stronger voting bloc.

[MovinTarget]

@Rampage, I know what you mean... it seemed to pop up leass today.... i guess it might be chance...

[Xoxim SC]

This event has made is less than desirable to play a Huntsman during its initial release. Please don't do an event like that again

[Ibrandul Mike]

I like playing the Huntsman... you can really get the other team to do stupid things like following you into a fireline...

The event is great and I like #TinaTherma. Especially the point that you don't have to be there every day is great. I missed the first two days due to being away... but I can still get everything.

Very nice event! But I so hope that there will be an event break... those "daily" things tend to make me play more (which is good in a way) but also get me fed up after a while. Oh wait, did I say event break? Perhaps a new sale would be good in between... after that another daily event... I kinda like those (even if I have to play more! )

The trick is to get in a new 0xp energy only mech - worked almost every time for me.

[mikerso]

So far 5 out of 5 on the rewards I can get. Didn't buy the huntsman pack . Gonna sign on and get my sixth tonight then take a day off lol.

My trick was to snapshoot when teammates called for aid. Every time it was a Huntsman beating them to death.

I know people have said there is little you can do with a huntsman that couldn't be done with hunchie IIcs (especially if you only bought the base pack), but I am really digging it.

Being the sexiest thing on the field.

I mean... everyone wants a piece of that rear torso!

That's the other thing you can do in a Huntsman over the HBK-IIC with the basic pack. For most other things, yeah, it's about equal.

I'm liking the Huntsman a lot, once everyone isn't after my ***, then I'm sure it will be even better.

What is bothering me is the Huntsman Challenge.

The whole event is great and thank you for that P.G.I the last two have been really good.

About being bothered, it's the standard of players getting on the boards, I should not even be featuring the way I'm playing, I don't think I've had a three kill game, I have broken the 500 damage mark less than 10 times yet I'm on the boards, I'm going to be getting two fancy war horns at this rate unless people pick up their game.

This more than anything I believe is why the Match Maker is struggling, it's us and how poor we are playing as a whole.

Obviously there are still people right at the top that can still hammer out good scores, consistently, but we the people, bellow the top runners really need to pull the stick out our behinds and play better if we want better matches.

I have been running 2 uac10s on 2 of them and its been pretty effective. That way i can at least deadside it and the heat is pretty manageable, even if i get halved...

One thing i can say is the ST are way better than hunchie IIc for hitreg.

[Pariah Devalis]

I have to say I am getting sick and frikkin tired of being focused by an entire enemy team while standing literally 50 meters to the side of an assault mech. Yeah, it pulls greedy SOBs out of position, but it absolutely sucks to be the HMN. Even if they fail to kill me, that much focused attention on my one mech basically puts me out of commission for the rest of the damned game.

What the hell? If it was an assault mech, at least it is just another day at the office, but medium mechs need to be supports to the bigger stuff. Not the thing that gets targeted for annihilation!
