Was very not interested in last weeks event, reward for time was not good i say.

This event rewards for time, very good. I say no reductions ! event was good without change !

People want things for free, things are not supposed to be free good things should require good time commitment to get!

If you no have time to play, you dont get the rewards it is simple ! the rewards are to get us to play the game more so people get matches quicker !

I also like that events make us play differently. Difference makes new, makes interesting. 2 headshots and 500 match score are fine ! remake them requirement !

If I give last event 1 / 10 i give this event 9 / 10

Also Solaris 1v1 would be good place for people to do the headshots should make it 5 headshots so ppl play solaris ! =)

This particular challenge is clearly aimed at the best players (hence the name "Super Star Challenge") and is therefore not required to get the full 'pick-your-price' stuff. If you don't think: "No problem", then the challenge is just not meant for you.

Well, sure it's aimed at the best. And, I don't mind there being a really hard Challenge. I just thought it would be worth the slight adjustment on Match Score to allow just slightly lesser players having a chance at being able to acquire Rewards and resources that would permit them catching up to those that are the best. Why let the pool of those that are the best become stagnant, eh? They should have new blood incoming to keep them on their toes.

Also as far as i know, you wont get a headshot from AFK mechs.

Not 100% True, interestingly enough. If you can find where the Head Hitbox went to, you can still get one. You might feel horrible enough after to not want to Report them, though.

Uhm... Unless that one was a totally separate Challenge, then I would have to disagree. No reason to make a Super-Unrealistic Challenge, frankly.

Uh... shouldn't there be a 4th sale on this sale?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the updated sale prices on the web pages. Am I missing something?

Use a Tag to Assist in 500 Damage

What counts as a tag assist? I was tagging stuff left and right in my last match, including shooting the target with lasers, but I only got 2 tag damage in the end. Do they have to be shot with lurms to count?

Pretty sure yes (SSRMs might count too). Can't be your own either.

[Lord Vain McPayne]

How does the tag damage challenge work? I can't seem to do more than 7 tag damage each map despite holding targets for a bunch of missiles hitting target? It feels like I am only getting credit for the number of times I tag a target, and not the resulting damage that is being done.

Can you move all the weight class victory challenges into one challenge so you don't kill the FP queue? People in FP can just skip that one to complete the event.

Apparently you can win in FP Invasion and have it count towards weight class win for EACH mech you drop in. Please fix misleading text in announcement.

While i agree that an additional, less hard challenge would not hurt anyone, i'm pretty sure that the 200mc and 2mil cbills will not help anyone becoming better at the game.

Yeah. I just can't remember that i ever guessed right where the hitbox could have went.

BTW, i usually don't report AFK mechs unless they announced going AFK in chat/voip or did something similar obvious. I usually assume that the player had a disconnect and that it's not his/her fault, and therefore no reason to report.

Tournament Supports get just bonus C-Bills?

Mech Packs at the online store are not showing the discounted pricing, just so you know.

Okay, everyone... Here's some Quick Tips regarding the "Tag Damage" Action during a Match...

• You must hold the TAG on the Target while the Damage is being done, preferably for as long as safely possible.
  
• ANY Lock-On Missile Weapon works. You may use any mix of 'Streak SRM'/ATM/LRM that you wish.
  
• MRM and Non-Locking SRMs do NOT count, and therefore can not help with this item.
  
• Ballistics & Energy Weaponry also do NOT count, as far as I know. You won't find their Damage being part of that total either.
  
• AMS will KILL your Lock-On Missiles, causing it to be really hard to get your "Tag Damage" total completed.

...and now I'll wish you all luck while people bring out their AMS barrage to block all your nice Missile Weaponry.

Eh, you DO present an idea though. Maybe our friendly Matt Newman could squeeze in a 13th Challenge which asks for "350 Match Score in just 1 Match" and "a Solo Kill" for good frosting, and then slap a happy chunk of Rewards onto it?

It's the cockpit...???

Like, it's hard to find because hitboxes, and hard to hit because MWO hitboxes, but I've always had the head still be on the cockpit.

In general, yes. But as far as i know disconnected mechs seem to have their hitboxes displaced, the cockpit hitbox then is no longer where it is supposed to be.

Headshot requirement reduced to 1

If I still preform 2 head shots can I get double the rewards?
Cause I'm all for hard challenges. I don't need anyone holding my hand.

I mean, the Hunchback did used to have an invisible hitbox floating in the air to the right of its right arm that counted as left torso, so I can believe it.

While I generally don't complain about event difficultly (which I tend to find a bit on the easy side).... 2 head shots? Seriously?

dropped to one but it only took 4 games in solaris div 1 with a quad ac10 anni.
