It's crystal clear that PGI is in league with Satan when coming up with events with solo kills...

Honestly people just need to get over it.

It is a CHALLENGE and not even a very hard one for 1000 gold no less. Guess this is what happens when the generation that gets a trophy for showing up, grows up.

What? 10 solo kills isn't hard...

That's right. Shake your cane, Grandpa. The future is different and scary.

Haha this challenge is to easy, I don't have to bring out my Timberwolves to do this. And I'm doing this with mechs that's not even skilled.

Sheet is that all? I thought it had to be 10 lots of 10 for each QP and faction to reach 1000, so 200 solo kills all up.

I am still haunted by the last event that needed 150.

Protip: getting solo kills isn't a lottery.

Try shooting at the same target until it dies. Chances are if you single out one mech, you'll deal the top damage to it, and all you have to do is secure the kill with timing. You don't even need to brawl either, you can do it with pretty much any loadout. It got my 10 QP solo kills in one session playing Timbers and Cougars. Only took a couple hours.

*sigh*

You people are no fun at all.

[VitiateDiabolus]

It's such a small number that it should be relatively easy, but it is kind of dumb that you are encouraged to save cooldowns for a guaranteed killshot rather than let your team help you finish off a target. It's really the exact same problem I have with valuing and recording killshots in the game in any capacity.

[Sagamore]

I got most of my solo kills with a 5 UAC 5 Annihilator. Hard not to do most damage dealt with that thing.

For faction, I cleaned up on kills in scouting and played one invasion match to get all of my assists.

I found that when I played greedy and tried really hard to secure kills, my games were much worse. Just play normally and you'll get it done. Also, blow up side torsos as you get damage credit for the arm that goes with it, helping you get that KMDD and just hope you can seal the deal with the kill shot.

You missed the joke.

[panzer1b]

I dont understand all the rage, i mean yah it wasnt as much fun since a good percentage of every team was filled with literal killstealer builds (seen my share of RL-120, even 2 direstars with like 15 ERLLs), and a good number of players intentionally held their fire after hurting the target to wait for the killshot, but its not like its that hard to get solo kills in a good mech build. That and for the first time in a very long while, the rewards were actually good and more then worth the occasional lame player stealing your solo kill, 1000 MC is like 5 or so normal events worth.

That and im FINALLY able to get my hands on the MAD-BH2 which is the only hero mech im really interested in playing (a good variety of builds you cant do on a regular marader chassis, all of which are very strong). Now i just need to wait for a damn mech sale (havent seen a mech sale since the ballistic challenge was around and even then it was only a handful of mechs that went on sale). Hopefully well get a sale on thanksgiving or so, if not then prolly christmas as every MMO that ive played usually has sales then including MWO.

You'd be astonished. I've seen plenty of people two days of actual play in that still haven't managed it. Seems there's a lot of people who are so used to securing kills, they rarely can get it alone.

[FupDup]

I think the event should've just been a little bit longer, a full week would be fair.

For the record I finished it* in two days myself, so it's not for my own benefit.


*I only finished the QP part, I have no intentions of ever touching FP regardless of the carrot being dangled in front of me.

Some of us rarely get solo kills.........just assists and damage. At least there was an Assist section and that took what, 2 matches.... No kills in QP unfortunately. I'm 23 matches in and have 1 kill.... Oh well, at least the event had something for the 'rest of us" to do other than be points/kills/damage for others......

[ice trey]

Not a generous enough event.
I miss the days when games were single player and got you to play them because they were fun, not because they dangled a carrot of extra items. Still, that's the reality of gaming now. Not every title is going to be Doom 2016 or XCom.
...and there are a half dozen other games I'm playing much more generous during their concurrent events than this.

Plus, whenever it's an event based on kills, players become Richards to each other. I tend to stay away from those. The community gets more toxic.

LoL This challenge was super easy. I got four of my solo kills in one game and I'm a noob.
