eh, it's only one of the 7 so even if you miss that one, the others are all achievably grindy ones.

Yeah, I know. Most of the reason I'm asking is for people that want the "nice" award at the end without needing to play most of the days of the week. I shouldn't have too much trouble getting even the other 6, let alone 5 of them. A little bit more flexibility on the part of which days/nights get played, though, would be nice on PGI's part, since many of the players are a bit older than your average gamer, with families and jobs.

That assist in a light challenge was overall horrible. Some games you'd get 8-11 ... then 1 as none of the 6 lights on each side wanted kills and the rest seemed incapable of taking advantage of kills being handed to them on a plate. It didn't take long overall but there was an extremely frustrating run of 1 assist per game for 4 games in the middle which was plain stupid.

The clever people finished right at the start then changed to heavies etc to pad out their kill scores I noticed.

Was nice to then get the super easy - 2 wins in the normal solo queue.

The worse part, aiming for and legging other mechs while almost everyone else kept shooting torso locations.

You were missing the meta-challenge:

How to trick your teammates into killing the target when they were just trying to get the assist.

It's a bit harder, admittedly, but so much fun!

I'm a casual player, single parent with full time job, and completed every single challenge so far with ease, except killing 30 uav's, got just 22 of them, i just want to say it's a great and doable event for almost everyone with fantastic rewards!

I'm doing the event on two accounts. Its all easily doable and the time they gave for each challenge is appropriate to the degree of difficulty.

Assassination Challenge
Achieve 1 Kill or KMDD against an Enemy Heavy or Assault 'Mech

Is it normal that KMDD on VIP does not count?

Redacted.

Probably because he can't shoot back and/or is perma-drunk

I usually fell for it.

Thanks for posting that so I didn't have to. AND I DM a Pathfinder RPG on Tuesday nights as well.
I only got 5 UAVs though.

[paws2sky]

Also, I hate single day challenges.

P.S. Okay, the rewards are nice. I love warhorns and millions of C-Bills (and MC). GJ PGI

I don't think the Group Participation 2 Challenge is counting Faction Warfare matches...

The problem with this rant is I have a very good job, drop a lot into the game ... and still have all the event bits to date.

PS: You really need to do some diversity and anger management training btw.

So basically what you just said is that you have no girlfriend, family or any social life whatsoever. Congratulations, you win at MWO, Bravo. I'll stick with winning at Real Life.

I got my Assassination Challenge reward yesterday, but I couldn't find my Target2 Decal within the camo menu. Is it only applicable to some particular mech? Or am I missing something?

[SmokeGuar]

Mechlab / Camo spec / (pattern / colors / decal ).

Owned decals / all.

As decals open, it shows new decals only, as new in game.

Yup, had 2 qualifying matches last night and neither registered...

Same here, at least 4 scouting matches, all wins, all scores over 100, nothing registered

[Fox the Apprentice]

Are you guys grouping up in a group, and THEN launching that group in FP? If you're soloing, it won't count.
