I don't have patience for this garbage, how hard is it to test if it works before taking off for the night?

[Mikayshen]

Whenever events like this start, I'm glad I usually wait a day or two before starting on them. So everything is fixed first.

[Khalcruth]

Here's question - quick play, faction play, both? If it says one way or the other, I sure am missing it.

Edit - never mind, it says in the in-game browser that it's quickplay. I wish they'd put that information on the webpage.

Yes, everyone has heard that kill count is off. Its basically night in canada now, so give the some time to wake up and look at it. If they fix kills retroactively all is supersmooth, if not you still have 6 days left to match the objectives.

At least KMDDs should count, as they are specifically mentioned, perhaps it is just the distinction between "Killing Blow" and "Solo Kill" that is unclear, but even 5 kmdds in a mist lynx is that hard over a whole week. Wolfpack on other lights and as soon as you have "your" 5 kills let others have the fun to be in the back of your target ;-)

Also: Very great to have an event that is mech-dependant (boooo), but can be completed with trial mechs (yeeaaaah)! Apart from the minor side effect on being very fair to all players, this is pure genius from the marketing point of view!
I was only eyeballing the Stormcrow and the timber, but if i like one of the trials during the event very much, who might know.

Good event! And now stop complaining about the kill count at least till noon canadian time, it will not help till then. Just my 2c

It's not 5 kills for the event, it's 100 the first week, and 100 more the 2nd. It's 5 just for one light mech.

And considering I just got around 15 kills in 2 different mechs and the game only counted 5 of them, 200 kills is gonna take a while. A whole heck of a lot longer than a week or two at the rate most people play this broken game these days.

every time they fix 1 thing 2 more things break

honestly, I never would have played the Orion IIC if it wasn't for this. Funnily enough, after 2 games in it I REALLY like it lol.

I've never piloted a Jenner before because, let's be honest, it's ugly as sin. Is it just me? Does it not look like the head fell off and it was part way through picking it up and putting it back on its neck when someone saw it and... ooh! hold that pose!

But thanks to this event, it's my new favourite mech. Smoothest ride of all the mechs I've piloted. It's almost like it has wheels in the soles of its feet.

Bonus points for not having to see its ugly face when I'm in the cockpit.

Aligning the event with trial mechs was genius

[KodiakGW]

LOL. Multiple pages at this point about event being broken. Was thinking about taking out my Griffins to unlock pattern...until I saw which pattern. Stock pattern looks just as good. Ah, well. More CBills for my alt account instead...when they fix it.

Someone who is not blocked spamming Twitter?

Am I the only one that thinks the camo pattern reward should be the Hotrod pattern instead of the Urban Block due to the event being titled "Trial By Fire"?

Hot Rod is 1250MC for unlock, and desirable.
Urban Block is 750MC for unlock, and mediocre. Hence why it is the give away one.

[I cant want to]

quick play only - this is not mentioned on the website, only in-game
kills not being counted - again

it's all about the little details


if you do not own an Oxide, now is the time to get one - only 1575MC

I believe its all about getting a jolly good listening too these days...

listening is one thing, but listening and then responding appropriately...

i think the same thing after every single patch. you really should not need to put out a hotfix the same week as your monthly update. every month. for years now

Would you rather they keep the bugs until next update and never hotfix? "Oh, we accidentally gave the Quickdraw 1000% faster missile cooldown like in the PTS that one time. But we won't fix that for a month because Chaothulhu complained about hotfixes"

Yes, I know the obvious answer is "I would rather they never have to do a hotfix", but you're not going to get that. Better to suffer with the knowledge that they at least care enough to still do hotfixes than to never receive them at all.

[Xaat Xuun]

heh .. I was happy to see trials can be used for this event,

then a moment ago I got it . . it's just trials mechs for the event, I mean it's in the name, Trial, not that they have to be trials

eh I'm tired, long day little rest before day . . kind of forgot what I was pointing out, something about trial mechs I think, and the name of the event

fix trail to trial

[Ropya]

Any chance of a Bay sale?

[Holy Jackson]

only counting kmdds here too

[Vellron2005]

Love the fact the whole event can be finished with Trial mechs.. will probably buy a few mechs though.. but there's sooo many mechs incoming I need so much cbills...

But maaaybe I can get an Orion and a Catapult..

Trials will be used!

[Scythe Kagato]

I'm going to go to sleep and hope that this K/KMDD crap gets fixed because I should've had two mechs done already but the numbers are borked.

my issue in not that they do a hotfix for every patch (you are correct that hotfix is better than no hotfix), but that QA appears to be so lax that they let errors like this through to the live servers every month. if i made this many mistakes in my job i would have been fired long ago

[BrunoSSace]

Still broken. 20 kill most damage delt in a Zues is a challenge.
