But where are the corgi's? I don't see them in my cockpit items list, and I didn't see hem being injected.
Where are them doggies at?

*Edit, Found the corgies!
I liked the event!

I can't find the Corgies. Where did you find them?

I've actually been playing for 2 days to get the assault objective.
About 16 times it's been in our grasp and no-matter how much I've tried ... someone has shown why team objectives are a bad idea.
I'm disappointed in the event. Not from event side but rather the players.

Just do not give up.

Or you can take some 'Mech with capture accelerator, wait until both team are busy fighting .. and then cap the enemy base yourself.

Found them - you have to restart MWO and they'll pop up after that.

1. Go to the Event page: Foolish Things To Do In Mwo This Weekend

2. Check if the progress bar is full and click the "Redeem" button. Repeat three times for three different Corgis.



3. Go to your 'Mechlab and check the Cockpit items tab.


4. That's it! You have three Corgis:

Standard



Special



Hero

A couple of stories for your amusement:

Playing Bog, Assault and had killed 11 enemy. We were capping out but a friendly was trying to kill last enemy . . . Team kill!

Playing mining, assault and was down to last surviving friendly. Enemy would not kill last friendly and friendly was camping on base . . . Friendly farmed huge damage with single small laser (for great amusement) and gave up the base before timeout.

im glad you changed this, it is amusing and foolish to see players walking about just shooting their weapons at nothing but 5000 times was a bit extreme. its been years since players were doing the assault objective and it is really fun to either attack or defend your base. maybe you guys can figure a way to make this mode more playable by making the base's closer together so when your fighting in the middle of the map your not 2 or 3 minutes away from your base, like in polar

Jägermech with quad AC/2 - 1000 ballistic shots done in a single game.
Vulcan Bloodlust with a single flamer - 1000 energy shots done in two games.
9 days left. Why all the fuzz? Chill....
Cool event, thanks for it!

Seems shooting SRMs counts as Ballistics too.
Nevermind, I believe it is AMS counting as Ballistics

[OmgKllL]

for the ballistic obj use mg
very easy to achieve also with 5000 shots

Figuring out which mech gets each Corgi is gonna be tough. But yeah, thanks for this.

Here is some context for the Corgi rewards for those who were not here for the original event (April fools 2018)
This year we recycled some previous rewards as we didn't have new April Fools joke or rewards as we have been supper busy with the feature planning roadmap and Crusader.

Ah, the sight of six mechs all parked in the enemy base refusing the shoot the single remaining bad guy in there with them was heart warming...

Its been frustrating to get the team to actually do the assault objective for the event, just like incursion or conquest. It does change up the tactics, and thus spices it up, and i think if there was a way to reward players for actually doing the objective instead of PSR for damage, it would help the game. Scouting, collecting resources, for big PSR bonuses etc would help, that way those peeps can do lights and fast mediums to change the game up and still have a decent PSR go up. Granted, sometimes no damage done and or very little shooting when whole teams just farm the base. But i think that plus this type of event on a regular basis would flavor it up.

hmm i GUESS i am to blame for the camping, i have been teaching it, and it works, but beside the fact that only 15% of folks KNOW it, your out of luck, its has helped so many pilots.
YOU need to work on building a strike team, like a plan one day, there very thing that started NASCAR, no slow mechs out standing mechs shooting 35 to 50 point hit with alpha and just run the other team over, lot for you to learn.

This Assault item is breeding a lot of toxic player chat in game... specially when most of the team already have achieved it and don't want to help the others... I myself try and ask beginning of an Assault match, who needs it, and if there are responses, I try to help them... but then you get those who don't pipe up and then when the game is won by defeating the enemy... the toxic banter enters the chat... and man o man they can get salty...

Easier fix, make the Assault only winnable by capping, not defeating the players...

[soylentgreenfood]

you should give the players who completed the challenge while it said conquest the reward since you lied to them. ignorance is no excuse. But i wouldnt expect such a thing from PGI.

Soo many griefer nuggets for this event, yay.

Hey Matt the Get Lucky sale ended over 24 hours early, are you able to rerun this Hero sale after this event? Quite a few of us missed out on buying half price mechs.

Thanks.

any update on this?

[ambosen]

One of my favorite things about this event is the fact that because of it, I am literally now seeing people upset the enemy team *isn't* killing them. There's just something hilarious about watching a guy on your team ragequit over an enemy assault flat out ignoring their light mech to trade shots at absolute maximum range of the medium laser with another mech on your team.

Well that, and the game I played recently where I somehow ended up with six mech kills by myself while it was clear a lot of people on both teams were trying to figure out how to lose the game without being obvious they were trying to lose the game. We need more fun, silly events like this.

oh i dont know, maybe assault matches ending with 2-3 kills total, people on both sides rushing base without thinking, people with 14 tags, other people sitting in corners chainfiring weapons?
