"F**k winning, i'm going for the challenge" was an actual quote today :\

not only that, i have to confess every time no incursion was played i decided to go in yolo, make as much dmg in as shorten time, but not bother about survive or win - there are other mechs with another chance to get a incursion battle

FAILED DELIVERY?

that was no problem, but how to damage buildings?
I get Incursion in like 1 of 5 battles, of that usually they are won by killing all enemies. I just don't manage to get to enemy base in time - OR i take some light/fgast medium and try to rush in enemy base, but so far I always get killed before destroying a building.

Something is wrong then. I base rushed alone in a Raven, managed to take out 1 or 2 so 5 max 5 matches. You have to shoot the power console not the building itself.

Last 24 hours to try for a cell kill and honestly i'm 100% sure it will not happen. Also i'm really getting tired of this bunch of MLG Pro tier 1 players rubbing on our faces that they did it already and claiming that is the easiest thing on the world to do.

Whenever the game is lost anyway, I try to take a fuel cell to at least give the one who kills me the chance to complete this. Sometimes, it's people who just do not want their teammates to complete, so they kill me regardless whether or not they needed that Delivery-Failed-thingie themselves.

[shopsmart]

Still trying to get my delivery failed. After work today will keep trying. IF I do some how make it. It will be grab fuel cell and taunt the enemy time. Will give some one the chance to get the reward. I just hope someone gives me the same chance... but I will still try to kill them in the process

[aGentleWarrior]

And yes when i grabbed a fuel cell i delivered it also every time... (I only used mechs 130kp/h+ for that)

Same here, if there were no Locusts or Commandos for the event it might be possible. You can do it in your sleep with those two.

If you're lucky, a map that supports Incursion comes up for the match.
If you're lucky, players vote for Incursion, and it wins.
If you're lucky, the other team doesn't just march into your base and destroy it.
If you're lucky, you see a mech pick up the energy cell.
If you're lucky, you have the range to shoot at the mech.
If you're lucky, you deal the killing blow.

After this event, I will never, ever vote for Incursion. This event is pure bs.

Edit: PGI came through and made some welcome changes to the challenge, listening to its fan base. I was lacking the Delivery Failed, but got it because of the awesome community we have - and spent the last two hours of the challenge to try to do the same to others.

Thank you, PGI, for fixing this - Incursion might be fun in the future, if people have an incentive to do something else than just skirmish. Thank you, community and the nameless benefactor, who helped me complete 9/9 of the challenge!

I gave up on getting that Fuel Cell kill. I only saw one or two people that I could get at the whole weekend, and that even with waiting by the cells for someone to show up and grab them. But most people aren't bothering. I put a ton of time into it too.
I chased the two that I could right back into the enemy lines...almost got both, but not before their buddies got me....or a turret in one case.

So instead I tried a few games where I picked up a cell and ran around the whole game with it....to at least give someone else a kill. Oddly it's like I became invincible....in a Commando. I even tried to give it up once by just standing there...and the guy couldn't close the deal. Took one alpha at me, and overheated, and died. (The curse of the Fuel Cell.)

Meh...I may play a few tonight.

I jumped into a fast light with ecm and sneaked into enemy base and killed the buldings, that's it. The hardest thing imo is killing the fuel cell carrier just because no one is doing it anymore. >.<

I've already knocked out all of the objectives. So I went in tonight with the idea that I'd grab a bunch of fuel cells before I fight so whoever kills me gets the delivery failed one. I was only able to get to the charger once. People are guarding the chargers, preventing anyone from getting the fuel cell in the first place. A better plan would be to ambush mechs as they leave the charger, instead. I know coordinating in pugland is like herding especially anti-social cats, but that'd be an option.

Yep, the two I almost got were ones that I ambushed while hiding at the charger. But more often than not other team mates show up and don't hide which scares the rabbits away.
I also found that the best chance to get at a carrier is to be at the charger before them at the very start of the match. Most of the pickups were always at the start. But I need to be in a Locust or Commando to get there and hide before they do. Nothing else was fast enough. Then it's a chase back through fresh enemy mechs and turrets, with the lights smaller hitboxes, lagshield, speed and maneuverability making it hard to get the kill shot.

I did have one or two drops where the enemy had the same idea. I'd be hiding, see someone show up on seismic, and then nothing. They were hiding on the other side waiting for someone from my team to show up.

[Appogee]

I just can't get the fuel cell kill.

In 8 hours of playing, Incursion only came up 6 times.

I give up.

[Catra Lanis]

This is actually the first event I won't be able to complete and not for lack of trying. Even to the victors was easier because those reqs. were within normal gameplay and you could affect them with skill.

[SaintLucifer]

Last day of the event: So far, only rushers, no cell carriers.

F*** YOU PGI, just sell the battletech licence to someone who care about it already.

Well PGI, here you have more than 350 post that demand more time, more frequent incursion drops and state that it is nearly impossible due to reasons (you can find abouve) to finish the challenge.

PLS check your stats and see yourself how many players are stuck 8/9 challange points!

A new gamemode out, I really love it, but the whole community feels frustrated, because poeple are giving away matches to get an incursion match and in those incursion matches they are focussed to get the challange done. It will take a lot of time playing the mode as intended to get over this frustrating weekend.

OK, It was the weekend and you guys need to have time off too, but it will be 10am at PGI in about three hours. Up to that time I encourage you to come up with a official statement and a solution for the issue.

They will not do it, they don't have the minimum dignity to even answer when they know that they made a huge mistake. And even if they answer, it will be in like a year on some pointless year retrospective post.

[B L O O D W I T C H]

Haven't finished the event. Probably could do it in another 2 hours, just need to ditch my team and camp a fuelcell with dualgauss or yolo into their base a couple of times.
What really sets me off is the absolut bs quality of matches over the whole weekend.
Honestly, half my team camps fuelcells until we're down 8v0.
And most other gamemodes at least 2-3 either disconnect or flat out yolo into the enemy lines just to que asap.
I know pug life and all but i won't waste my time with this kind of bs gameplay anymore.

[Catra Lanis]

It is not even about the mechbay. I can open my wallet and spend the few bucks if I need it. It is about having all fields green knowing it is completed.

Where are the Roughnecks?

I've only seen three of them in battles since the event started, and only 1 of those was Incursion mode - can't finish the event requirements if no-one is playing one of the required targets.

Getting the failed delivery objective was far easier than finding a Roughneck (in any battle mode).
