.... by getting 13 Kill assists in Escort mode :-D

Looks like your odds are better in that mode with the extra target

Congrats! So is it possible to now get a 13-kill game, first the rest of the opfor and finally the VIP?

Who's first? Looking at the forum titles, those Death Stars are dime a dozen.

Most death star titles are earned from faction warfare.

EDIT: ignore me, I'm dumb. It's QP only.

I've always wanted the philanthropist title, but it'd conflict with being a Clan Diamond Shark pilot. #SecondWaveClanProblems

Grab a light Mech with a long range build, literally poke everyone in Skirmish and hope your team wins
That's how I got mine

You cannot earn AoS or DS from FP.

The DS ypu are seeing came when there was a server bug that allowed people to run around what appeared to he a suspended match (everyone shut down at spawn) and let them have credit for the uncontested kills.

Whiles it is possible someone earned it legimately, I have never seen a video of such, a screenshot of such (where it would show other people doing damage or mechs in positions other than spawns etc) or any legitimate evidence. So, it could have happened but so far I believe it hasnt legitimately.

Every time I've gotten close, it was in my Adder. But I'm always off by 1 because of some light mech deciding to suicide rush into my team before I can shoot him.

I hunted Philantropist for the longest time. For me the problem wasn't so much getting damage on all 12 'mechs, but not KILLING any of them. I had SO many 9-assist-3-kill, 10-assist-2-kill, 11-assist-1-kill games before finally getting that 12-0.

I've got most of my 12-assist games games in fast ERLL 'mechs ... fast enough so you get around the map, and with ERLL you can easily touch anything you see out to 1500+ meters. And your PPFLD is so puny you don't kill anything by accident

If and when I see some vid/screenshots from one of those games I will up my number accordingly but for now I believe its still zero.

SOMEONE in a 12 kill game would snap a screenshot and share if not to brag (and a worthy brag it would be to a degree) or sheer, unadulterated amazement.

I got it in my Raven. One match I got 11 assist the and the last mech was at the enemy base. I was just about to get over the hill and get a shot off when it was killed.

I got the achievement later with out trying to get it. Just keep moving around taking shots and you will end up damaging everyone.

Three videos, even better (to root out the discos)

One good player, and two unknowns IIRC

I can only find one, and don't care to search more

Good find. One legit DS confirmed in 55k players and who knows how many sporting the tag. That was.....an interesting match to say the least, lol. Congrats to CT for the accomplishment.

Wow... that was pretty awesome. I thought a real Death Star did not exist.

Thank you for the link.

Play a light that does basically zero damage (spider, locust, etc). You'll be getting 10+ assist games regularly because you don't do enough damage to steal kills from anyone even by accident.

[cervelos2]

Yeah, I usually play lights. I've had loads of matches with 10 or 11 assists, often with a kill or two of my own. I guess it makes sense that you're more likely to get Philanthropist in a light or medium, and Deathstar in a heavy or assault.

That Deathstar video is kinda funny. I mean, how does everyone on your team NOT finish off all those cored mechs??!!! :-D

[oldradagast]

What I found most educational about that Death Star video was how the player didn't get focused on one target to the exclusion of all else. He kept looking for opportunities to dish out damage instead of getting in a bad spot because he "had to kill that mech." Not only is that a good lesson to us all (I know I still get get target fixated sometimes), but there's something zen about it. He didn't obsess about getting that kill, and he ended up with all the kills.

Still, it doesn't mean what I think it should..
