Well... after my earlier post...

Folks, I'm sorry to report, but the In-Game climate being shoved down my throat by the MatchMaker has gotten such that I will be physically unable to get much of anything from this Event... and I'm limited to the "MechWarrior Challenges" only. As I type this, I've just been mutilated way too many times due to being put with bad teams, and the chair I was sitting in has been dumped the wrong way on the floor. That's something I usually never do, and things have to get really horrid to make me irrational in that manner. Hell, it wasn't even LRMs that I got killed by, but Direct-Fire Weaponry that's become far too powerful by comparison, and I'm not even touching LRMs myself.
For the note, I think that it would take me a full extra 7-day week to have any chance at finishing this now. I've been broken by what's happened to me on my most recent session.
Good luck out there with the Event... I just don't know if I'll try any more... If you do see me on Your Team, please try to get the rest of the Team which we're with to actually pull their collective acts together. I am just so sick of deaf/dumb Teams that won't think and communicate with each other.

...things ended up turning around for me. My only guess is that a heaven-sent miracle (
or something like that) happened. At least, that's the only way I can explain it, seeing as I normally do not get lucky twice in a row for Event Completions like this. So, I have managed to finish the Event as of about 22:00 UTC yesterday.
However, I must agree with all those who are angry about that one Challenge after repeatedly falling short of the 500 MS (
Which means "Match Score", and NOT something else!) line. It should be tough, but NOT a near-impassable obstacle, particularly when linked with other weaker requirements. My future recommendation is that anything that would have asked for 500 MS be instead set to only ask for 475 MS, so that it does remain tough yet stays away from being hellish upon people. Events are supposed to be fun, instead of being murderous upon the mental health of the Player Base in general. I might have managed to get this one, but I had to allow for being driven insane over it, and that's just not right.
