The event was so far nice to me. Only Incursion is escaping me the two times I have see n it so far, one was down-voted and the other time my team lost.

As a side note overall match score of the team would be a good target for an event.

Damn that 500 mark, I hit 498, 479, 487

I got 500 2 times on a lose, weirdly.
One 500 i got on a ppc 3xams nova, even more weirdly (last one alive, could exploit some open components).

... will never play with it or they already have one.

And then there are the collectors, who have (and play) almost everything (or, as in my case, almost every IS mech), but don't have the LM (yet), because compared to the other heroes it was a low priority and high price.

So for me the LM would have been a better gift than many other heroes, because it is one I don't already own.

But I'm stuck at 1/5, the first one was easy (a 1000+ dmg match within the first 4-5 matches I played on Friday), but everything after that was 498, 497, 480 or lower. I don't want to play a Clan mech for this. I don't want to farm damage by not destroying an enemy mech in the most efficient way. I don't want to play 12 vs 12 matches where 7 vs 7 are assault mechs, competing for the damage.
Or if I play such a match, I'd like to be rewarded for playing the only light mech on my team in a conquest match against two lights on the other team, winning the match by uncapping their last cap point at 736, and providing scouting and dual AMS before. OK, the match was fun, and that should be reward enough, but ... it would be nice.
Increasing the match score for shooting down enemy missiles is a good start, and while running a Corsair with 4 AMS is fun for some time, I'd like some variety.

Yes, I tried getting the LM for "free", but stopped trying at some point because I expected to be either at just 4/5 of the required number of 500+ games, or to lose my sanity and/or sleep.

Thanks for the event (the other prizes were much easier to obtain), even if it collides with the FP PTS or exhibits an imbalance in the score calculation.

Keep the mech if you want it but this multi requirements suck. Whats the point of working toward all the others if the 500 match score is 0/5 at the end and we get nothing? it just works against mwo itself.
400 is a much more fair MS for 5!
I did more than 20 games in this event, many with 600 and 800 damage, I have yet zero 500MS, great success.

[G2SC]

Nice event. Got my 500 matchscores using: 3RAC2 Shadowhawk, Direwolf B and Night Gyr D over 3.5 days. Liking the free mech as a reward, many thanks!

[Rhaezor]

I just had another hilarious game. 750 damage, 3 kills, 440 match score ahah

Any good shopping tips? I have 4k MC burning a hole in my pocket

On the subject of Incursion:

After what must be close to 24 hours game play, I haven't even seen it as an option.

I was wondering if the addition of the classic maps has caused this perceived rarity. If the RNG selects four maps, and one of those maps is a non-incursion viable map, the following RNG of game modes can't include Incursion as an option.

it's only 100 MC but it would be nice to have a greater opportunity of completion if my theory is anywhere close to the mark.

Good hunting!

So basically you don't want the mech, gotcha

Complaining that you aren't getting rewarded for YOUR particular playstyle, when matchscore is an overall indicator of being useful to the team, is kind of silly.

I'd pay faction play to get the score but it's even more empty than PGI's in game experience.

[Buenaventura]

Had to use my LRM boat to try for those 500+ MS games. Got it done now.
I'll keep the hero, but even the Siren seems to be better.

[Karl Carver]

Found the other one lol

[Coffeen]

Did most of the 500 games with the good old 4 lbx 10 anni.

[ColonelProctor]

Is there going to be a C-Bill/MC Sale for the Clan Mechs from the game?

[Laser Kiwi]

Used the Sleipnir + 4 lb10x to get it got 7 kills in one of the battles, one night of graft and i was in. Now I have it what do i do with it, i used a good mech to win a below average mech, i'm not even sure i want to skill it up, so far i'm running 3 lpl + ac10 and thats sort of alright. But a free hero is a free hero so thanks anyway.

Mine was recycled as a tea coaster for a while, discarded many moons ago.

[Goodbye to you]

TODAY was the first chance i got to play this event, been on near 6 hours, and Hibernal Rift has yet to come up for a vote, guess i'll try on the last day

[el piromaniaco]

BTW. pack an AMS (or more), makes it easier to get a high MS.

[TH3_SCHW4RTZ]

I just completed the Cinco De Mayo Epico challenge tonight. It pushed my limits hard and I had a blast doing it. Good job, PGI.
