After playing more than a dozen games and getting one incursion(out of one to vote on), I gave up trying.

I mean, if I was unable to complete the event 'cause it's difficult, that's one thing. But, being unable to complete the event purely because I can't even begin attempting it? That's pretty much a big pile of cow dung.

This is a repeated pattern for me: Get excited and pump up to finally get an Incursion games after several other game modes, but disappointed with lack of fuel carrier during the match....over and over and over.....felt real stupid, become frustrated and cursed the "f**ker" who made this challenge.

Like 16 hours left, and no answer. Worst yet, is like 21:00 on Toronto, so we know they will not answer at all.

Sorry to hear. At this point, I have died 5 times carrying a fuel cell for the community. Once carrying a fuel cell and lived! I was kind of happy but bummed that I wasn't able help someone. Killed a bunch of people doing so too. It is kind of refreshing. Of course I had to experienced one of the quickest deaths I have had in a locust. 6 srm 6's hurts alot.

i've tried asking a number of times about help with fuel cell carrier challenge, but no responses

[shopsmart]

Nah, I never announced what I was doing. You need to run to the furthest fuel cell pick up and grab it. No one hardly goes there. Then just run around the map shooting and killing like you would normally. Pisses of the try hards who want you to deliver it, but makes you a HUGE distraction. Seems like I might have helped the team while the enemies chased the challenge. It was refreshing to do and fun. I am out of here. Good luck all and may the community be with you. (thoughts on incursion tomorrow)

Seems to me like they do this sometimes just to throw their white-knight apologists a bone. You know, the people whose only argument is that a for-profit corporation doesn't have to do nice things like this for us, and that we should be thankful for what we got.

Paranoid much?

I've been offering (on my main account)

Most of the time, I get no responses either.
Most of what responses I HAVE gotten have been from the Skirmishtards.

I asked many times for help, all i ever got was grief so far.

I had someone help me.

I've seen several other people offering help as well.

We are just on an island.

i might also add, although some might not like this, but i am also offering a free kill on all modes other than incursion to turn games over faster to get incursion games.

So long as you go down swinging, I see no reason to complain

[- Pestilence -]

Since i get back to the game after long break i was wondering, why so much hate is directed to developers i thought damn they patch the game every month, add new mechs (for money but they have to earn somehow), try to improve CW (nvm the results), now we will have new skill tree and soon new weapons.
Well... now i know.

No. Frustrated and sarcastic. They buried something behind a random chance behind a random chance behind a random chance, and that's hugely upsetting to completionists.

And on top of it all, trying to complete this challenge took time away from playing the Roughneck for those rewards.

Sarcasm makes that sentence actually make some sense then.

There are a LOT of players who would have meant that quite literally.

So do both.

I got most of my rewards while in the Roughneck.
Only ones you cannot do that way are the TWO that specify Light/Mediums.

Good luck getting the kill in something with a 75 kph top speed. You managed it? Good for you, but you don't represent the majority, or even a sizeable minority. As far as I can tell, this doesn't seem like an event that was intended to be completed by a tiny fraction of the player base.

[groves226]

so many people that want a prize... just like the sky crane game, not everyone gets the toy

[Voice of Kerensky]

Thank you, guys, who help with the "failed delivery." I also helped one person - i having a cell, appointed a meeting, fight with him. But my Cheetah was broken, so he quickly killed me.
If I once again get into the incursion, I'll do the same. I'll take a cell and assign a duel.

You know Groves, if you just want to flame bait, then don't even post please.

[BattleHymn]

Given the rarity of the battery carriers, extremely poor choice not to include KMDD as an additional possibility for the "kill a carrier" quest, especially since the other "kill" quests allowed kill or kmdd, on things that were much more common. To add insult to injury, incursion does not come up enough for an event requiring it.

Shout outs to the reds that offered their location after picking up a battery, unfortunately not nearly enough to go around.
