Ok so unless I totally didnt get this, I just had a match on HPG. Overheated close to the start of the match and once overheated and my mech shutdown I engaged override. Proceded to win the match, survived and got a 300+ point score but I dont see the challenge complete.

I turned overide off after cooling down, was I meant to leave overide on for the remainder of the match? That is the only thing I can think.

Easiest for me was to play a Supernova for all achievements.
Hard boiled I got while having Override on, once one internal got damaged I turned off until the end of the game. Got it with the Supernova.

So...
I overheated.
I activated Override.
I survived.
I had a match score over 100.
My team won.

I did not complete it though according to the website tracking.

Is this working as intended PGI?

Here's how I got my Hard Boiled reward:

Start of match, hit override and fired till I passed the shutdown threshold,
Cooled off and switched override off,
Fired till I shutdown and hit override the moment I triggered shutdown,
Played the match as normal,
Scored a draw (and survived)....

Only match I've played in the previous hour..... unless the reward system has been stowing my reward till a later point.

As others wrote before, it would be really nice if the progess page would show which part of the chocolate challengens you already did. In the heat of battle you don't have the time to write down which mechs you get an KMDD on, and sometimes you don't even know which mech you got a KKMD for if it wasn't a solo kill but a kill assist. Of course you all you need is kill enough to finish eventually, but an overview would help with picking targets.

Overall i would say free stuff is always welcome and the chocolate mechs are a nice easter theme, but i feel a little underwhelmed with the cbill and mc rewards compared to past events.

I got the Hard Boiled challenge in my second match (first was suicide while override).
I overheated on purpose, then activated override and left it ON for the whole match. Maybe that was the trick, to never shut off the override.

PGI, please.

Can we get a polka-dot camo pattern for our mechs? Maybe a 'do everything for the event and get this as a bonus' kind of thing and make it work for all of our mechs?

I want polka-dotted mechs.

Surely would nice if we could see the completed weight classes on the Dark/Milk Chocolate challenges, instead of "X of 4 "

Did the JJ challenge without one single JJ equipped haha, how funny.

As for Hard Boiled: Just played normally, got the challenge, didnt even try for it.

The play is totally goofy tonight... UAV's everywhere, great gang out. I got messed with BAD by my team, this one dude started freaking on the comms when he tripped over something that I was firing on him and the whole squad joined in and whenever they got hit they'd complain about me hitting them. It was HILARIOUS.

Isn't there an easy way to track our progress through events? There should be a way to track it in-game and in real-time, like the achievement system. It would make our lives SO much easier and a lot more user-friendly.

Hard Boiled isn't working for me either.

3 times now(over the course of 3 hours, I did one try per hour block); I've overheated, then turned on override, got over 100 match score, my team won and I survived the match.

Wish I knew why it's working for some people, but not others like me.

Are only quickplay matches counted for this challenge? It doesn't actually say on the webpage, but it doesn't seem like my factionplay matches are counting.

Ah, I missed that - I would have thought they would put that information in the main body of text. Thanks oh bovine one.
