Of course, it's not about selling you mechs you don't own...................no, that can bot be ! I own a shadow cat and that's the only mech I own that falls into this event.

Oh well, no MC anyway.

Yes, because it's not like C-Bills exist or anything. Nope, not at all.

You sure about that loadout? I built in smurfy and it only leaves .5 tons for ammo.

I checked it. You are right. It was 2 hml and the ATMs. I have changed it to x2 mpl, atm6 x1 and atm3 x2. I preferred the pulse laser loadout.

Yah before I sold a bunch of stuff I didn't needed I was also around 3 millions. Event brought in about another 3, so yes I can understand that it looks like easy to be made money and the camo is a nice addition.

Still if you find a good match or a bad one is just the luck of the day and the event runs long enough to get what you need even with a day or two not playing or bad matches. So don't get worked up about it, its not worth it.
I had stopped a day because I also got only bad matches one after the other and the next day it was better.

As for grinding...can there be another event that is not grinding? To me grinding is defined by doing the same thing over and over again to get something.

So what event could we have that isn't a grind....except you make it "play one game". Thats not a grind but to easy.
Even if we would switch the target each game, so lets say in the first game you need 2 KMDD, next one shot down 30 missiles, next one get a kill....and so on.
That would still be a grind, sure different goals each time but you still more or less the same each time.
Well Damage vs shooting down missiles could change your playstyle but you could still take your favorit mech that has an AMS and just play more games.

So if anyone has a good idea of an event that is not grinding please tell. Maybe we can make PGI create an event around that idea.

Team stuff imo makes best events lance assists, working with your lance to kill mechs etc i dunno if PGI cares much about team play though as its never focused on and they can't seem to code very well.

And on trial mechs how many devs hours would it take to update all the Champion mechs to valid updated loadouts, i mean what 3-4 hours for all, maybe two days work at most for some intern..

Problem of the Event ! its to long with to many Chassies ..thats bring less fun.
Make a Event with 3 Chassies for a WE is ok and after it normal Matches ..now we have Bad Matches for many Days who all runs to her KMDD and lost the Tactical Awarness for a Win fight in Chassies and not familiar with is against Guys in her "All Day Mech" thats ignored this Event.

I agree that less chassis per event and less days might be better.

Nah, then you'll have people complaining about how they missed the event and the event duration is too short. PGI just can't please everyone.

I really enjoy this event. Yes it is hard with bad mechs and people Leeroy yolo to get one KMDD. But you see so many mechs you usually never see. Much more fun then playing/seeing the 10+metamechs all the time.

So many LRM boats and snipers that hung back died horrible deaths due to the higher amount of lights out.

[Electron Junkie]

It's not so much that the event sucks it that the event requires the usage of some very "meh" IS mechs that have horrible hardpoints and loadouts.

I had a lot of fun tooling around in my Catapult K2 yesterday. The 2x AC10 + 4 ML build is neat, though I've found 2x UAC5 + 4 ML is better specifically for farming KMDDs. I'll likely swap it back as soon as I get the 3 more I need.

I don't own and haven't played the other IS mechs for this challenge, but I imagine they can't be that bad, right?

I run my K2 with two LB10s and four MLs. It works well for getting KMDDs even though the shotgun is supposed to be a lousy weapon (from a comp/meta standpoint).

Good hunting,

We had 5 Jenners on my team earlier. While it's awesomely nostalgic to see those little mechs getting around, it wasn't awesome to see them running at 120kph or lower. Turns out that the allure of 6 MLAS and 150+kph isn't quite what it used to be.

Hint; They didn't buy those Jenners.

I love LB10Xs (my favorite mech is my 2 LB10X + 4 ML MAD-3R) but I wanted something with better range. I'm actually quite fond of the regular AC10, and the K2 is a great carrier of them.

[Steel Claws]

I don't mind it because it prods me to take mechs that I haven't touched in a long while. Makes me appreciate them again (well some of the time). Had a 900 point game in a Zeus and a 1000 plus point drop with a Warhawk. Actually might drive the Warhawk more often.

[Violator]

I like it because i see more aggressive play. I guess it's because of the KMDDs and assists needed to complete it. Plus, there are some hidden gems there, some fun builds to try (from the trial mech list). Can't wait for the next stage.

Il thought you quit like 8 months ago?
Why the hell are you still trolling and complaining?
Why dont you provide some kind of analasys or math as to why it sucks instead of sucking the life out of our community by being a salty toad?

1, I didnt quit.
2. I wrote that to hopefully stab russ in the eye and get some kind of positive change.
3. Papaspud does nothing but ***** on the forums abiut how the game sucks without doing, saying or providing some kind of solution.

No not at all. Griffin is great, Zeus surprised me positive and Jenners are reasonable but carrying your team is out of question.
With my Myst Lynx, Shadow Cat or Orion2c i never needed more then 2-3 games to farm the KMDDs. Only my warhawk struggled hard to get the first 6 KMDD (8 games or so) and then i got the remaining 6 KMDD in one game.

This kind of post is useless without video evidence. You need to video these matches and then post them so we can point out how your losses are actually due to your own incompetence see how incompetent your allies really are
