All three 'mechs are awesome. Do not miss this event if you can help it.

PGI, you have my Thanks for this "MechWarrior May-Hem" Event!


Just out of curiosity, was Phase 3's "Look All Around" Challenge supposed to require "only 20 KMDDs" specifically, or was it meant to be "20 Kill and/or KMDD" that happens to be wanted alongside the "20 Savior Kills and 500+ Match Score" in the objectives? Also, with AMS severely nerfed for Match Score since a couple patch loads ago, isn't "500+ Match Score" kind of a tad on the overly crazy side when Events & Challenges like this were intended to be tuned towards newer players? Perhaps only asking for 450+ would be more reasonable, being as it has been put in the 3rd Phase with the shortest of the time frames?

Freebie fest. Thx, PGI!

[martian]

Thanks for the 'Mechs.

[Miriage]

I take it the mech con skins was a mistake since they have already been removed.

[P H O T O N]

Let me just say one word.

Wow!

[Mad Neko]

Good luck getting the Atlas - K3 though, you need to get a 500 match score in one game within 20 days...

Going to be hell trying to get it.

You are the most generous developers in the world! Love you!

WAIT... You're telling me they were up for Sale again now in May 2022 and then suddenly disappeared?!?!? DANGIT!!! I've been wanting to pick some of those up for quite some time! I hope they fixed the glitches from when they were last On-Sale and available to check out, and that they'll put the Mech_Con Camos back up for Sale again at some point without swiping them from view again afterward.

I'm still sad that they're not always visible on the Camo Pattern listings even though they were promised years ago to be made that way. The player base could have helped iron out any issues with those Mech_Con Camos by now if they had been kept available to check out.

Low threshold to get the Mech reward; very nice thing to do, and multiple Mechs - Thank you

However, May the 4th should be Cuatro rather than Cinco?

For the ones in 'Phases 1&2' that is true, and PGI gets my total thumbs-up to go with it. But have you really looked at 'Phase 3' well enough? For the newer players which these Free Mech Events are supposed to be designed for, asking a "500+ Match Score" in order to get the "AS7-K3" is outlandish territory. I hope they fix that at least down to a "450+ Match Score" (although I'm sure someone is going to say it should only be 400+ required) as that then still requires a bit of effort, but without putting it essentially out of the hands of newer players given what happened to AMS Match Scoring previously around a couple of patch cycles back.

This part on the other hand is something which I basically agree with, because "Cinco" means "Five" in spanish-type languages. Although, wasn't it spelled "Quattro" instead for when you're saying "Four" in that language? *confused*

"Cinco de Mayo" and "May the 4th" are references to a Mexican celebration and Star Wars which are not related to each other.

REALLY low threshold for Phase 3, hardest part being 20 kmdd, but with 21 days to complete that, well, really easy . . .

(Mochyn understands is as able to read, points "D.V. Devnull" in the right direction for Phase 3 Mech requirement)

In that case, would you please explain to me and the rest of the masses how a "500+ Match Score" could be more easy than 20 KMDD to get?

I can not seem to get more than one per 30 Days elapsed, and I think mine already occurred recently. For most people, getting KMDDs is usually easier to acquire than getting a single "500+ Match Score" from normal gameplay.
