I have used plenty of trial mechs for events such as this . They have good enough builds .

I scored my Johnny five award using a trial Victor .

Anything that allows me to NOT buy a Clan mech is good.

The amount of double-digit light mechs I've seen in the past 24hrs is nothing short of, phenominal.

4-6 lights per game on either side. At least 6 of them will do less than 99 damage.

I thought the last 9 days of 500 match score saw some bad play... All these lights getting insta-nuked cause they all stand still is just something even more unbelievable.

i played a few games in qp, the whining about how hard it is to get kills with lights was oddly amusing. of course about 6 games later i was done. would have been done sooner if i didnt get legged/have a runin with a streak boat. but it was still nothing. its good that we have events like this for all the people who think lights are op. there should be one every time a "lights are op" thread pops up. i thought about running a streak boat, but that would be cruel, and i would have to play more qp, and it just isnt that fun. the only light that is legit op is the urbanmech.

Been having a blast setting up streak boats to hunt them down with.

Hmmmm...from reading the posts might be a good night to level my PIR lazor vomit.

[Sergeant Destroy]

Hehe, the stock commando has more armor in the head than in the sides torsos, lets see how that works out....

[DarkFhoenix]

If you going to play with a mech thats fully skilled thats one thing . But people are not going to do that so not much difference between thier mechs and trial mechs .

[Asym]

Just another reason to avoid this event........ Played one match in a trial and went back to sea to have some fun..... Good grief.

Now, if the rewards were worth the insanity........maybe. But, not this event. GLHF.

You have perfectly summed up the majority of my last 100 or so matches. Which is why I have manged to do a whooping 2 matches between March 23rd and today.

[Helsbane]

Hell I at least went out of my way to buy and build a useful Commando for the event. Got my required kill in it and managed to assist a good portion of the team by back stabbing whenever I could to allow others to shoot at distracted targets. When I finally lost my leg (because I admittedly suck as a light pilot) I dropped an arty at the feet of the nearest group of reds before they took me out. Even if you know you suck in a weight category, TRY to go down swinging at the very least.

This event has made me remember how awesome CMD-2D is when you dump its ECM in a bottomless pit and put 3xSRM4s in it, it's similar to an Oxide but with the commando's resilience. It's a radical approach to CMD-2D but I promise if you try you will find it is actually very decent, at least Tier 2 mech, more in QP with regular opponents, good aim is still deadly to Commandos.

[Bowelhacker]

At the risk of being one of "those people" it took me five games to get the light challenge done, two of which were in trial mechs.

I have to admit I did this as well, needed to skill out a streak Bushie for CW on a free to play account and it was just too easy to pass up.

The trial Commando got to me. Clan account, so had no other option and even one game where I managed over 600 damage, I did not get a kill or kmdd. Wasn't fun for me so I went back to playing for funsies, but at the same time I can see how for some the challenge may be worth the frustration.

I went in with an open mind...... But, there was actually three distinct games going on in the same match ! There were light and trail mech "attempting to kill "something, anything"; there was some LRM'ing and that was like watching the Fourth of July as hundreds of LRM's went wooshing overhead;.....Ooooh, Aaaaah !.....and, I never saw those mechs ever. And, the third game as in the middle with about 3 mechs on each team playing the game itself and wondering what in the Pocking heck was going on >!?

It was comical.....and, just non-value added to go on.....

I got my kill in the trial Commando by sticking to a trial Jenner IIC and shooting him for half the match. It must have taken my 5 minutes to kill that guy.
