Incursion is harder to get than 500 match score or solo kills, lol....

So I meant to mention this months ago, but I think there should be a mech pinata hanging item that bursts upon a kill as a Cinco de Mayo themed cockpit item.....

I played more than 6 hours today to get 500 over match score..and failed.. none of games can't get more than 450.. even once I done 1100 damages.

Is there any special secret to get more match score than usual? I have been thinking that If I play well or wisely I could get better match score and today I failed.

What's so hard about that 500ms? Drop a few times in Invasion matches in the weekend and its done hell even the whole objective is done. If someone can't get 500ms out of 4 mechs for a match that person really does not deserve a free mech, not even this crappy one.


With invasions (FP) your match score is divided by all the mechs you've "used" in the match. So, say you've done 2000 damage in the match, but used all of your mechs, your match score would be divided by 4. (FYI: A mech is considered used as soon as a mech is lost and the next mech becomes an option. So, you could die right at the victory bell, and it will still count as an additional mech being used, if you still had a mech to select.)

So, no. FP will not make getting a Match Score of 500+ easy. It actually will be more difficult as well as take longer per match, as an average.

For those fretting about the unlikelihood of obtaining 500+ match score 5 times, don't...as Patsy aka Terry Gilliam would say, "It's only a La Malinche", one that I actually bought a while back and regretted. Eclectic mix of hardpoints, and generally low slung ones at that, missing the Meta bus by a mile. Outside of my own opinion, it has the distinction of being the lowest rated hero mech on denAirwalkerrr's list at (-4)...yes, that's a negative 4, where top-rated mechs like Sleipnir score a positive 5 points, related to difficulty, fun factor and farming ability. If there was ever a hero mech that PGI needed to buff, this is the one.

It's the thought that counts and is appreciated, but don't stress over not earning one as it'll likely collect dust in your garage.

24 Matches in and I have not seen a sigle Incursion! PGI - ??!

EDIT 3... 50 Matches in NOT SEEN ONE SINGLE INCURSION! Broken?!!!

Ok - this is getting ridiculous! Please let me know if something is broken.

Tesunie's right. To be honest (based on my own experience):

a) Don't have a potato computer. Really.
b] Gain a lot of flanking, ECM covering, ECM countering, UAV detection, Hit'n'Runs and so on.
c) 800 dmg it's just a good base. Point b] is still valid if you want to break that glass roof.
d) Seeing your own cockpit in the end of the match also is good.

PS: Since we're talking about the event, don't forget about what's most of it all about. Posted Image

500ms shouldn't be that hard to get.

however, luckily the La Manliche might be the worst hero in the game so you're not missing anything by missing it
