It should be "get 5000 match score" instead of grind. Still doable by everyone but is possible to skip the grind if you put some effort.

Hmm, lets see ...
Got the HBK-4P, SHD-2H, TBT-7M and UZL-3P already, so those are out.
Already have a CN9-AL, BJ-A, 3 GRF, a WVR-7K, 2 ASN and 2 BSW.

Which would leave the CDA-2A (tried one for the event, sold it again), KTO-18, ENF-4R, VND-1AA, CRB-27B and PHX-2 as choices. Any recommendations there?

Enforcer is a solid pick. Its the bests variant out of all the other enforcers. It can equip AC10, 2 tons of ammo, with 5 medium lasers, LF engine and a -20% auto cannon cool down.

Here is my build code for the enforcer.
Ai3:20j0|OG|OG|LgpZ0|i^|i^qZ0|Y?|Y?rP0|Y?|Y?|Y?sP0|l?tX0|OG|GOuX0|OG|GOv10w606060

Would go for the Enforcer as well, it's a great Mech. I run it with 2 LL and 3 ML, but this build here is even better.
Second choice would be the Crab. Rest is crap.

I own most of the chassis (would pick the Stormcrow if not already in my bay) and I think one variant each is enough. So there are the
Kintaro
Phoenix Hawk
Trebuchet
Vindicator
Wolverine
which I don't have yet. The Kintaro and the Vindicator are just bad, so there are 3 obvious choices left. Hm.
Maybe the Wolverine.. or the Trebuchet, but I already have the Hunchback 4J as LRM boat. Hm.
Any opinions on that?

Since I have close to no clan mechs, I used the trial ones, and that Masakari config worked for me. Even decapitated an Awesome in close combat - his cockpit hitzone is just at the height of the Gauss in that configuration.

You know you just need to complete 50 matches part for your free mech .

The clan Kmdd is for the silly cockpit items . I am skipping that .

Oh, I know that, I even answered someone elses question about it here:

[ X ] Only complete 50 matches with min 100 matchscore

At least that's what I get from the page where you claim the medium champion (not hero).

But I wanted to have those cockpit items.
Just had to endure those horrible clan voices for about 10 games and I was done with that part.

Just 250000 C-Bills once completing all the 50 matches with 100 matchscore! Relation doesnt fit in my oppinion.

The big prize was the free mech. The TSP shines with smaller events. Do you want to have a free mech for something trivial, or scale the TSP reward up to 25 Million? Both ways would break bigger events.

edit: After thinking about it: Decoupling the 50 matches from the KMDDs-part would have been a reasonable middle ground. Well - my free stuff is still free enough

I picked the Trebuchet and really like it. I was looking at the Crab and Wolverine but the Trebuchet won out. Had a very good first game in it, nice to have so many missiles I can waste a few on longshots.

Just keep playing, what you do with the trial mechs also counts for the number of matches which you need 50 anyway. I guess the only issue was the Warhawk, everything else are okay. I already got them, and I only started playing this game like 2 weeks ago.

I am also fine with all the free stuff, dont get me wrong. I think 2,5 million would be the way to go for TSP for an event of this size/grind.

I hope the rest of you are having more fun out there than I'm having. PGI's Damned MatchMaker keeps putting me mostly with teams that don't do any of the following...

• Actively Communicating
  
• Keeping Each Other Alive
  
• Focusing Fire
  
• Locking Targets (even just to help themselves track opponents)
  
• Finding Enemy Weak Points
  
• Generally Working As A Team
  
• Avoid "Nascar"ing (which would prevent them getting chewed up in their backs)
  
• Avoid playing like as if they're doing some sort of 'One Man Army' kind of game

...and it's making it impossible for me to complete this Event. I'm NOT some 'Bloody Damned Team-Carrying Magic Legend' of any kind, and I'm way beyond disgusted and sick of the abuse that I'm taking because everyone else would rather fail, which traps me in their fate as well.

Frankly, the way the Event is set up, and the way that people have decided to play due to it, have all caused me to reach a point where I can NOT properly provide a Rating that would be useful. I'm just about to give up and quit on this Event, and leave MWO right along with it... Nobody who is already stressed out deserves this kind of abuse in a Multiplayer Online Game which Requires Teamwork in order to enjoy it!

see above.

Though I will say, and i started a thread to this effect a few weeks back... I've had more luck in games where i get people talking (even just bsing) at the beginning of a match. It's like having to hold a freaking icebreaker from the beginning of a corporate event every damn match, but the results have been that once teh communication damn is broken people do seem on average to act in a vaguely team based manner.

For what it's worth i finished the event yesterday and it wasn't super terrible considering the payoff.

[BrunoSSace]

So was between the wolverine and the Vindicator. Grabbed the vini, you know you play too much when you nearly have every mech on the list.
Oh and pgi I only have one mech bay left now.

Augh!!! I'm caught in a Heatwave where I live, and my Air Conditioning has broken down!!! I am physically unable to keep my computer running MWO safely, and am having to lose both Active Premium Time from the Previous Event, as well as Participation Time on This Event's Challenge! Can we get 24 Hours added on the other end of this Event to compensate for those caught out by the Extreme Hot Weather?!?!?

~Mr. D. V. "I'm totally broiled out of participating here!!!" Devnull

I don't have air conditioning - PC stopped twice last month. Bad News, but it is sort of the luck of the draw. Like getting a bad hand in a card game or not getting loot bag pulls by the time they go away.

I am pretty sure it does. I have a full mech bay and I still got my crab.

[D V Devnull]

UPDATE -- I've managed to get through the Match Count and other requisites. Got the items from the Tracker completion, too. Now to pick from a small list of 7 Mechs. That's the tough part, I think?

~D. V. "Now processing a hard choice..." Devnull
