Anyone else having an issue with getting completions? I've done all but the secret? (I have no idea if I have or not... i've played several matches) and the ammo one (I keep not using it all, damnit) But its been two hours with no update to my stats.

This warhorn.... It screams tina was all over it lol

OKAY... WILL ONE OF YOU TWO PLEASE FREAKING ENLIGHTEN ME ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!?!? I DIDN'T WATCH ANY RECENT STREAMS, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, OR EVEN IF WHAT HAPPENED WAS RECORDED ON A STREAM!!! IT'S NOT NICE TO KEEP PEOPLE IN THE DARK WHEN YOU KEEP REFERENCING SOMETHING!!! :angry:

According to the page I achieved the secret challenge, but I have no idea what it was or what the reward was. Anyone know for sure?

It is the Fool's Horn, and it plays when you die. As for how it was earned, killing your mech due to overheating, I believe Posted Image Others said being killed while overheating, etc. And for being an April Fool's joke type event, that is about right...

I actually think it was achieved by overheating and surviving...3 matches into my weekend games I completed the secret objective and in 2 of those games I overheated but I survived to the end of the match in both.

I overheated a lot, didn't die, didn't get the award.

I overheated and died, no award.

Savaged an Urbie, no award.

Got trounced by a trio of Urbies (shocking how those things can pack a punch), no award.

All those were made by playing a game every hour or so, just to test.

Then I went "screw that noise, I'm fed up trying to get that award" and played my usual (dismal) games basic'ing some 'mechs, went to sleep after a couple of hours of "no award", and I had it the next morning.

I really have NO IDEA what the secret challenge is ...

OMG YES TELL US.

I feel I was close to knowing because I had one match in an hour and did pretty well. Bunch of damage, KMDDs, Assists, Kills...
Got the warhorn.

Wasn't in an urbie, Can't remember if I killed one.

Anyway. I greatly enjoyed the low-stress event. More of these, please.
The Lucky Charms one was nice (I always love loot bags) but there was no way I could get all the bags possible from drops. It makes me feel like I'm failing somehow, even though it's an extra bonus.

Hahaha I know, I'm just trying to tease.

Okay the Secret Challenge was: "Die in a match having inflicted at least 200 damage dealt against enemy ‘Mechs"

Some of you were super close with the guesses!! But you see why it's best you didn't know..? We didn't want to see you guys dying on purpose!

Désolé je n'ai pas répondu plus tôt! c'était une première!

Nice.

To die with purpose, for the team?
That is a good way to die.

Agreed. "Suiciding" is against the rules under "Non-Participation", if I remember correctly... Right? :)

At least now I know there was no way to finish this Event in one match. :huh:

Thank you for the event and thank you for telling us what the secret goal was. Great job!

Can we now talk about an Urbie only official tournament? :D
