finally completed it, after years of grind i now feel hollow and wasted. its like a big fat "congratulations you wasted your life". i can think of easier ways to get 5000 gxp.

I had to log on since I could not remember what All Around Helper was

pretty big accomplishment considering the state of the game congrats!

now if I can only remember what GXP is for?

Congrats! But no time to waste, gotta get 1000 headshots!

And I agree that achievement is a bit ridiculous. You should get a heck of a lot more than 6 free skill nodes for 80K in assists.

Gratz on a difficult achievement. While they are no gauge of skill, I find the weight class achivements a prestigous guage of a players battlefield experience. Way better than things like Deathstar and Ace of Spades.

Respect bro.

those head shots. i think im up to 64 so far. i dont think the game will be around long enough to get that one. still dont have liquid metal, which is probably unobtanium with std engines so far down the power creep hole, something you had to get early on. ace is kind of one of those dumb luck cheevos. the match maker pretty much has to give you the perfect game, like where you are the only not-potato on both teams, then on top of that you have to have a spectacular match. i got to 7 kills about 3 times, usually in a ballistic mech (dual ac10 bushie, quad ac10 ani, and a bansh 3e with 3x ac5s and some lasers), and usually either running out of armor, ammo or time or some combination there of.

You have been playing the game for about 5 years, so about 1 head shot / month, you just need 936 months = 78 years more, don't worry life expectancy is going up! You can do it!!

i pretty much doubled it overnight thanks to solaris div 1. annis are easy to headshot especially with another ani with a 40 point ppfld complements of four ac10s. but solaris is a ghost town now.

There's a few of us who drop in leagues 5-7 on a fairly regular basis (11pm-1am GMT on weekdays). We tend to run novel builds and have a match or two, unfortunately the moment we get 3-4 players in the queue someone turns up playing the meta and we leave.

It's no fun playing casually against a try-hard.

The meta in divs 5-7 seem extremely variable though.

Div 5, I used a Crab CRB-27 with 5 MPL, didn't see any others like that. I think I went 19-6 with it, so not bad results.

Div 6, I used a Cicada CDA-2B with 5 MPL, don't think I saw any others like that. Went 15-10, which is pretty bad, but I was like 0-6 before I started running it because I was trying to use a commando, and that ended very poorly for me.

Div 7, I think I was closest to "meta", I ran a Uziel UZL-5P with 2 MRM30's, and went like 18-7. Losses were generally to other Uziels.

It's not like Div 1 where it's Annihlator or bust, there seemed to be a lot of variability in mechs.

The achievements system is great. The actual achievements are mostly bad. The prizes are ridiculously pathetic. I'm pretty sure "Death Star" is a secret way for them to look for cheaters along with "Guillotine" or whatever the 1000 headshots one is. Events sorta took over for achievements I suppose, but they're not persistent. Seems like a waste.

[C E Dwyer]

It's a bigger achievement than Death Star or Ace of Spades, due to the large number that were awarded during disconnect days, and then P.G.I had no way of removing the fake ones.

Grats. I have a thread on this too, you even posted in it! I also state how the reward is poor for taking so long to accomplish.
