Yeah, gonna skip Day 6 with the 30 components required...I've gotten 6 over 3 games, but at that rate, would have to play 12 games tonight to finish it, and I don't see squeezing in that many for the couple hours I might have to spend. I even used my best sandblaster for it...MCII-2 with 4 SRM6's and 2 LBX20's, and still a very low rate of return.

@Zephrym: Thank you. I went into completely different direction and have managed to get to 21 now.

@Bonfor: Sandblasting did not work. After Zephrym's advice I opted for precision laser surgery instead and it has been working significantly better.

@All: Well, I have my 30... but considering it took me roughly 40 games, I am just glad it is over, done and history. :/ HBK-4P(S) and lots of medium lasering finally got the job done.

Kinda makes you wonder if in PGIs quest to raise TTK that they buffed components like arms and torsos so much that most mechs are likely to die from a cored CT, which makes destroying components missions a lot harder.

@Bonfor: Difficult to say for sure... But in my experience, when no events are running or the event does not specifically ask for components, most people aim at or near the center of mass. Most of my heavier units die from a massive hole in the chest.

@D V Devnull: Day 7 completed, took less than 25 minutes including the time spent waiting. With a little bit more luck might have done it in one game, the second one would have been enough by itself (305 damage). This opposed to the about 15 hours for day 6... Uhhuh. I just want to forget yesterday.

[Bonfor]

Holy smokes ERescue! That's dedication that PGI should recognize a little more than they did in game!

@Bonfor: Naah, as you can see, I am not a good player. It would be silly to reward me for being bad at the game. Thank you for the compliment, though. *salutes*

Today's event rewards are bizarre and confusing...



Not that I'm complaining...

@Big Tin Man: I got the normal reward.

@All: 39 minutes to complete day 8, results: 4 assists while scoring ZERO damage , 10 assists and 1 assist in a lost game where only one hostile died, own losses zero Mechs. :D:D

Well... that is "work smarter, not harder" applied right there, good job ;-)

I think I i will start claiming the reward in game instead of on the website. On the website it stops at the number designated but in game it keeps adding up. It would appear it is calculating everything based on your final number at the time of the claim. The question though, are you actually receiving that amount or is it a display error?

This occurs if you leave an active game, quickly visit the website and redeem your reward. What you see is the base event reward plus the cbill and gxp reward for the previously active game.

I am loving this CB boost. @Matt, please consider making this permanent, it REALLY increases the value of buying hero mechs.

Anybody own Blackjack the Arrow? It has been intriguing me as possibly picking it up for half price.

Its a pretty fun mech, I run mine with a Large Pulse, 2 medium pulsies and 6 light machine guns. You have to hold back and wait for things to start opening up before you jump in, but the light engine I run on it, protects you when you eventually loose a shoulder. Would recommend getting.

@D V Devnull: Pretty much as expected day 9 finished in less than an hour, day 10 took less than 30 minutes (2 Kit Fox games in QP).

[DarkFhoenix]

Well I am starting to get tired of playing with my hero mechs most of the time .

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Lol, someone forces you into them?

[DarkFhoenix]

Yup . extra cbills forces me into them .

[James Argent]

You need more heroes, then.

Roger that. Mine ended up taking longer, but only because I made an error in how I went about doing it. At least we both haven't hit any more serious issues or annoyances in regard to the Event's design.

What was going on with 'Day 6' anyway, and the Components Destroyed during a Solaris Match failing to register if you couldn't kill the Enemy Mech?
