But I already asked, did you actually contact PGI directly? Did you make sure they heard your grievances? The reason I ask is that that forums rage rarely yields results unless there is a tidal wave of it, in this case, one could argue there is not. This is not to say you don't have a right voice your opinion here, but if you voice it only here... well... as you've pointed out, we don't work for PGI and can't help you much.

I may not agree with your stance, but you have as much a right to an opiinion as I have to mine. And really that's what I'm trying to say, no matter what any of us *think* should happen, we can't make PGI do anything (without sufficient community unity).

No, I didn't contact them directly, as this is relatively minor.

And I wouldn't exactly call this forum rage. That said, if you read through the thread, quite a few people expressed the same viewpoint I have, while most of the counteracting feedback came from the same couple of people.

[MovinTarget]

Yeah I saw, but it was a few people, and you kinda crapped on anyone that didn't side with you. Granted, some people returned the favor, but I never begrudged you the right to your opinion, so long as I can expess mine as well.

I tried to frame things from a position of logic and rational thinking (so far as I am capable, lol) and I really do try not to be all that insulting, though its kinda impossible *not* to ruffle some feathers in the forumscape...

I did today's in one match...1 kill and 3 kmdd... 1094 damage using my ANH-2A i've named HAAN-NAAH (though jaws might be more appropriate since I'm suing the diamond shark warhorn on it). UNFORTUNATELY after expending all 910 rounds of LB ammo keeping an enemy KCG, KDK and NTG suppressed along with a couple lynxes that attempted a flank into a face full of shotguns...that's about all that I managed stuck on a team where my damage alone was 112 points greater than the other three charlie lance members combined (302 from a MAD-IIC-A-, 214 from a MAD-IIC-SC, and 218 from a MCII-A) with those of three of bravo lance added in as well (35 damage from a KDK-3, 45 from a MDD-B and 168 from a WHM-6D).

Sounds to me like somebody hacked in order to kill you. I hope you reported them. Had the same kind of problem recently to my tiny Locust, more hitting than should have been able to.

Hacking, and the server no less? Provide proof.

Yeah I don't know if the system is reliable enough to assert that it was proactive hacking versus taking advantage of an expoitable situation... To me there is a difference though I understand under the ToC there may not be...

Anywho, if you are bored with regular means of satisfying today's challenge, try doing a Dire Star: 1 Alpha, 1 kill, 1 KMDD... It's a great excercise in "Making an Alpha count"...

[Reposter]

Hi guys, just like to feedback a little. Could you make the challenges in the future to last longer? People might not be able to do the challenges everyday due to work or other commitments... so it would be great to give longer challenges in the future.

Take for example the Day 1 Catch of the day challenge, I almost completed it but did not because I had to work.

Ok, just some suggestions and feedback. Hope the devs would consider making longer challenges in the future, thanks.

7 challenges to complete over 7 days... and they're all a week long. Makes more sense than the daily login. Sure some people will bust out all 7 on the first day but what's wrong with that? Maybe dude A only gets to play one or two days in that span and he gets at least a *chance* to complete them all.

[James Argent]

They should take some deserved heat about day 1 and no pre-announcement. I'm not convinced about the rest. Everybody knew on day 1 what was going on with the other event days (the fact that it was called Day 1 should be an instant clue about the following days having their own events). If someone can't find some time in a 24 hour period to play the minimal time required to finish these short event day requirements, that's their concern, not PGI's. If other things are too important and/or more desirable than to spend some time each day in a computer game, that's wonderful. That person has a full and fulfilling life and should be grateful for it, not complain that they can't slum it in nerdville because they've got too much other good stuff going on.

I mean, my limited options sucked the big one on the ERML challenge on my alt account, but I was still able to get it done in about 90 frustrating minutes with the two arm-mounted energy hardpoints I had available on the IS side that kept getting shot off first (and one single match for the Clan side...gotta love Omnipods). Certainly others can do it in a much shorter time with their main accounts and their multiple energy boats from which to choose.

Oops...NOW I know that it doesn't count with Artemis...AFTER rolling out in my SRM6 +Artie equipped Battlemaster and Stormcrow.

Extra heatsinks...here I come.

pgi wtf learn to explain your events Srm 6 with Artemis don't work you to stupid to tell us before we buy the weapons not every one is a mind reader Do you do it on purpose or is it just because you don't know how to explain

They did.

[LordFatman]

that's not on Website or in game challenge site so were did you see that its also stupid It cost me 600,000 C bills to change to non Artemis and then back to Artemis so thank's for that I lose 100,000 cbills for event

[GenericPilotName]

The problem is they add comments in about exclusions or exceptions AFTER the fact, and still fail to include exclusions/exceptions on the real-time event tracker. You'd think they'd learn...

If there's an excluded upgrade or class of weapon, it should be clearly explained everywhere the event is listed, but for darn sure on the progress page.

[Neutron IX]

Yeah, like Ovion said, it was there...I just didn't read it, which is totally on me.

Wasn't a huge deal. Played a match each in my SRM-6+Artemis-fest Battlemaster and Stormcrow, realized my error when I came to the website to redeem, and whoops back to the mechlab.

Seriously, it was honestly probably even easier to farm without the Artemis, since that missing tonnage became heatsinks, resulting in more frequent SRM volleys with easier heat management.

In this case, "my bad".

P.S. Seriously, I have owned Stormcrows since they were released, but never once actually bothered playing them since I've been hardcore Davion/I.S. since launch.

Totally regretting that now, since damn, those things are fun.

[LordFatman]

its not on the page I look at wouldn't be hard for them to put it here or on in game one were every one looks inStead of hiding it

Proof of Redeem wonkiness?



This was on my second account, first one redeemed exactly what was intended.

At least you had a redeem.

Mine didn't show that I had added the Rocket Girl or the C-Bills. Filing a ticket.

BTW, did it with a HBK IIC that I had bought so that I could compare IS HBK's with Clan HBK's. Did it in one match. After 2 matches in this beast I had enough to do 8 SP. I don't do that well in IS HBK's. Odd. Yes it is hotter and doesn't have the armor of a IS mech, but dude, 1200 points of damage spread over 2 matches with 0 points in the skill maze. I think that I'm in love.

I've seen this a couple of times. It looks to occur when you leave a game early and receive the injection via the website. It adds your match results (cbills and gxp) to the redeem bonus.

That would make sense... misleading, but makes sense...
