Catching up with HttR after Mini-Challenges #1 & #2 have happened...
(and possibly missing a few things which I would have spoken about in the process)

2 Day Challenge Number 2 is up!

Thank you for making Mini-Challenge #2 a gentle one... And extra thanks for extending it, as I really severely needed it.

Due to the universe deciding to sabotage me, it literally took me right up until the last minute to properly finish it. Without the extension, there's no question that I would have failed.

I don't know if you had it planned or not, but I look forward to a Mini-Challenge that asks for TAG usage. Something along the lines of successful implementation of "TAG-assisted Damage" should be appropriate, right?

Also, would it be possible to have future Mini-Challenges run for 3-Day cycles? I think it would help for managing to get around a lot of problems (including the kind where someone ends up conflicting with their family on weekends, like what happened to me with Mini-Challenge #1... or future hardware issues like what just happened recently) before they can happen.

995/1000 dmg on the Boars Head

You still have time, and the Damage amount is a Cumulative Total to put together. Keep punching, okay?

done with phase 2!

Heh... I'm still working on my 'Phase 2' Mech items. That crazy Corsair "Broadside" 'COR-BR' Mech is not an easy thing to pilot and/or earn with, particularly when your Team would rather sabotage you with Zero Communications whatsoever combined with that abhorrent nascar tactic. I just don't get why people think it's such a great idea to do something so bad when they have slow Assault Mechs in their own Team that should never be left behind. Can't even take aim to shoot if you're having to run all the damned time, which means you die without being able to really do anything either. Sadly, COR-BR is not allowed to mount a large-enough Engine to move at least as fast as a Kodiak on the battlefields, which leaves it horribly short-changed in the long run. *facedesk*

Damn, I'll be short 150mc counting the 3x 2 day challanges to get my sleipnir before the timer expires.


Matt, I'm hoping you'll do another hero discount next month too.

I'll be online tomorrow (7 SEP) between about 7a-3p Eastern Time (11a-7p GMT) and still need to get the Solaris 2v2 stuff done on my Alt Account. (SkymasterC337). I'll try to track you down (if I can) and drum up some opposition.

Damn it’s salty in here. If you’re complaining you don’t have enough hero’s to compete in the event, then you’re the problem. You’ve been freeloading for too long. Get your hand in your pocket and support the development of the game you are so passionate about!

I have a surprising amount of heros... about 18. Surprised me when I actually checked in the leadup to this event because I only 'bought' one, an Osiris Sekhmet, when it was on sale years ago. I bought the $6.95 MC pack for mechbays back before events were common, and splashed out on a hero. All of the other 17 have been from events/rewards, or purchased with event MC.

In the time I have been playing... there has been no development to support. So I am comfortable with my financial contribution. But thanks.

Will 2 Day Challenge Number 3 pop with phase 3?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

I hope sooner! They had Labour Day over in CA, so they probably closed shop for the holiday. Maybe today we'll see the next challenge.

Ghillie Reward should have be 20,000
Reward has been changed now but If you already got the reward then please contact support.

If you see any other mechs Challenges with incorrect rewards please let me know!

Have the same issues on the following:

Salty? The last couple of page people have just been chatting about the event, what they have completed and offered help for those who were still lacking MC. You are kinda late with your comment.

In my defence, I had just read the whole thread in one sitting, and that was how I felt about the comments as a generalisation. You by your own admission acknowledge it has been salty in this thread, so.....

This is a business. If you want more content, someone has to create it. Gaining 17 hero’s without spending is a decent haul and I’m sure you’re happy with that, but if you want the game long term, then PGI needs to survive as a business, which over the bigger picture, you haven’t really contributed much to. I get that in a F2P game there will always be varying levels of spending, but even as the game sits now, it has to be worth more than a solitary $6.99 spend.
For comparison, I have acquired 82 hero or special variants over several years of events and monetary means. My main issue is people that constantly moan that things need fixing, but aren’t willing to even pay for a solitary persons hourly wage. Would you go into work regularly for free, just to be moaned at that you did a bad job?

[Beorning]

I spent $80 for a game I couldn't play after launch, nor for 7 years so I am going to piss and moan every chance I get, but truth be told, the beta was worth $80 entertainment to me. I will piss and moan after I spend another $80 on hero mechs and hope the servers stay on at least untill 2021. I will still piss and moan about BS any chance I get. I will piss and moan even as I recommend the game to people. I will even piss and moan about BT purists, elitists snobs and clan role players. I will probably even buy MWO:2 even after all this and guess what.. I will piss and moan about it.

Any which way, guys, let's hope that any future Mini-Challenges are run for 3 Days each. I personally had problems happen during both of the earlier ones, and if it hadn't been for some understanding by others whom I live with on the first, and then the extended time to compensate on the second, it would have ended up that I never made it. I am very much EXTREMELY THANKFUL for the extra time on the second one, which is why I would like to see the rest done as 3 Days of time, because it would avoid a lot of critical problems for everyone.
