Can we please not have "challenges" where direct damage need not be required from now on? I was in a match on HPG. I was legged, cherry-red CT and 3 ERMLs left. 4 Enemies were left, all damaged and probably no more than 2 shots from being crippled or killed and 3 people in my team weren't doing anything. I was calling out, "Kit Fox 1 shot CT" and I genuinely heard someone say, "I need assists". I'm pretty sure there are a few here who have had enough bad games where people weren't going for the killing blows and were simply waiting for others to get it.

My proposal is to not have any challenges that don't involve doing direct damage. I don't mind the grind but make sure that the quality of games isn't affected. So, can we the following?

1. Accumulate 2k KA, KMDD, KB total
2. Get 2 kills in a single match (can have 2 solo kills as an extension and also higher number of kills)
3. Accumulate 10k Match Score
4. Get 250 Match Score in a single match (followed by 350 and 500 with increasing rewards)
5. Destroy 500 components
6. Destroy 5 components in a single match
7. Accumulate 5k damage with Ballistic, Energy and Missile Weapons each
8. Get 2 kills with Ballistic, Energy and Missile weapons (each one in separate matches)
9. The usual requirements where you basically just need to show up (if required)

Add your challenges here and maybe we can get good quality games during these long events.

I don't get your point. Do you want direct damage or not?

[FRAGTAST1C]

The point is to involve direct damage and not exclude it. The one we had where we had to accumulate 750 KA means no killing allowed which became quite evident by some people's choice of not going for the killing blow.

[Nesutizale]

I see that behavior even outside of events. Simplest solution I could think of is include KMDD or kills into kill assist duties.

Report them for nonparticipation then. *shrug* I finished up the kill assists while playing normally. Which means I got kills, I got assists trying to get kills. You have people complaining about "not playing as a team while rushing to get kills" when you have KMDD/Kills/Solo kill/Component destruction achievements too.

No matter what the challenge, someone's going to "just go for that" and someone's going to complain about it. (Though I swear if we had "number of game crashes" I'd be finishing that in a day lately.)

The only real change that Lucky Charms Phase 2 needed was to count killing blows in addition to kill assists. Then it would've been waaaaaay better and people could just play normally.

The easiest event:weapons ho. Do 15 damage to an enemy for 500 mc obtainable twice only and with such a low damage requirement even a toddler using a trial mech can hit the alpha key once and get it.

[BrunoSSace]

Doesn't matter what pgi does, people will still complain. I want kills, wins, assist, damage, spotting or head shots.
Tho 700 kill assists was a decent grind.
Damage is probably the simplest to do. Imagine people complaining, if you had to get 100 wins?

[FRAGTAST1C]

We should have challenges that are easy to accomplish for everyone plus some challenges that are hard and can attract elites. That way, when someone like me manages to get some good games together then the elite challenges can be completed as well. Just making it a grind doesn't help.

[Aidan Crenshaw]

You can't fix stupid. If people were playing normally, they would average out on around 8 Kill Assists on a win. But they don't. They throw the match, most often resulting in a stomp and get what brain cells they invested. None and nothing.

the only thing i want from events is MOAR FP EVENTS.

XD That's a great saying.

That sounds more like the action of a sour grape than anything else.

those of us who play faction got the event done in basically a handful of games

I'm not talking about the number of games needed to complete the events but rather the quality of games.
