It's the only non-lore build I've piloted in a long time, but damn it's good. Runs out of ammo fast sadly, but works wonders.

And yes, I use a macro for it. It makes it just too fun. If you ever decide to pick it up, get ADHD Fire Control and go to town with it.

Thanks - I enjoy using the keys, especially the Uac2

(Still want the jade kite for the L-ST... but I can see more Uac2 spam I'm my immediate future)

I only drop solo QP. The first day of the event I got 25 Lance formations in 7 games, Lost 6 of the 7 games. The second day I got 8 and won 1 game while losing 3. The third day was another day of losses. After that, I went back to playing like I normally do which means playing Mediums and Heavies and escorting the Assaults to the frontlines unless it is Domination or conquest in which case I move to the cap zone as quickly as possible.

Since switching back to my normal playstyle, forgetting about the LF goal and playing just a game or two a day to get the 5 Mil C-Bills, I have lost one game and won 8 while having 1 game below 200 match score (199 Doh!) and having 3 highest match score games.

I would rather win and have fun than trail a couple guys around until we die so I can get a lousy 300 MC.

Forcing the deathball is dumb. Full stop. It's one of the dumbest requirements ever honestly.

However if you're in a 4-man, that is your best bet to achieve this.

What I don't get is how common it is to have AFK'ers in the lance when it takes less than 60s to get a game.

I have completed Lance in Formation challenge for 10 days.

I was annoyed when one of our lancemate just wander around or never move. But when we all walk together I just ask politely on Lance Chat, "Can we stick together for Lance in Formation Bonus?" majority people agree with me.

Because of this event I exclusively always play Kodiak 3 because Assault Lance much more easier to get LiF bonus.

I admit that 250 is a bit tough for me considering the amount of time I play. But generally, I play about 3 matches, and magically I get the check mark. Don't always work, as I missed 3 days, but I am on track to finish it the last day without worrying about it too much.

You can get in a game in under 60s? That doesn't seem possible.

Anyway, matches today? 0 LIF, 2 LIF, 0 LIF, 17 LIF. Shoutouts to the LRM Orion who stood around the center of the dom point with me. I still hate this event. One more day...

I know its kinda a stupid way to do it, but when i see it happen i just take company command and mess the lances until i have people in my lance that seem to be a similar weight class and are relatively close to mne and then just roll together with them.

Fixes AFK issues, and it also makes it possible to get the lance in formation when the game deems it wise to throw your heavy in with the light lance (which is they are doing it right will not be close enough to you to give you the lance thing.

One more even cheaper method (havent really bothered myself since i got the 250 event without actually messing with lances at all) i thought of afterwards was to move dead people into your lance. If you have 2 dead guys and 1 live guy it still counts lance on formation if you are near that one living guy (and provided he isnt a potato its not a bad idea to stick with a fellow heavy or assasult if you are in a heavy or slow medium)...

Forcing a deathball would be dumb; fortunately, LiF encourages & rewards Lancing which is extremely beneficial.

The matchmaker must really like you then, it consistently puts me on teams with 1-2 AFK assaults on blue team but no AFKs on red team.

Reporting does nothing except eventually telling me to stop reporting them by saying I’ve run out of reports for the day. Although I did get an AFK rifleman IIC to finally move after love tapping it with a few AC20 rounds.
