As a new player, all I have to say is: Does match score even go up to 500?

It can, even though it is extremely hard & difficult to acquire. But, getting it on a regular basis instead of once a month or less takes effort well beyond what most players can ever manage to do.

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.

Keep plugging away and drop back to the inevitable lrm fest, very easy to get 500+ You know it's going to be so, same with any event . . .

I prefer direct fire and usually wrack up 2 or 3 matches with 500+ a session.

It's not about trying, but simply having fun doing.

Guess that's something D.V. Devnull may be forgetting as part of their habitual illeism?

Not achievable for new players with unskilled mechs: Phase 3: Achieve one 500+ Match Score game

New players would have major trouble achieving just one 100+ Match Score game.

==>Proposal: How about achieving five (5x) games of 100+ Match Score instead, for the sake of new MWO players?

As a newly returning MWO player in 2020, I was literally doing 10 Match Score game for quite a long time!
When I achieved my first 100+ Match Score game, I was jumping up and down in joy!

Please, for the sake of new MWO players, which MWO seems trying to attract, 500+ Match Score game is almost impossible for new MWO players, who are using Trial mechs!

No way anyone can have issues getting 100+ matchscore it requires to do... what 100-200 dmg? and scrape few assists?

rank 28926 out of 29530 total in jarls has average matchscore of 100

I'll also chime in that 500 score is a big ask for a lot of players (but maybe thats the point since it's an Atlas?)

[Steel Shanks]

Guess I'm in the Minority... Not a fan.
Another Urbie? After the free Urbie We just got? I have 5 of them! Lol.

Viper? Who gives a ***** about Clanner crap... not Me. Can I SELL these Mechs? Or are they the non-sell Mechs?

Contrary to popular opinion the Atlas is NOT everyone's favorite...

Guess I'm still salty about the stupid Crusader prices... Just not feeling it boyo's...

[An6ryMan69]

Wow! Great events and free stuff - love it! Thanks!

[PsionicMantis]

For anyone who doesnt have the viper-f, it was my first and only mech to get an ace of spades. Its feels like a flying piranha, but i dont like actual piranha. It is very much worth it to get all the mechs, but the viper-f is definitely my favorite out of the bunch.

[Nesutizale]

I just got an Urbanmech and now you want me to get another one? You know what?
Yah I will do it, **** half my light IS mechs will be Urbies if that continues

Also what the SubUrbie next?

[Edit]
I have to correct myself. 9/13 lights I have are allreay Urbies. I would have to buy more other lights to get them down to 50%

The requirements for receiving your FREE Atlas AS7-K3 this month have been reduced from a 500 match score once to a 250 match score once. Thanks Matt!

Not yet: GSP & MC goes on sale in Phase 4, which:
Starts: May 25th at 00:00 UTC
Ends: May 31st at 23:59 UTC

Not to worry, it would come soon!
(In the meanwhile, May 2022 Events x3 gifts you 2000+ MC, and some GSP also!)

Is the bonus GSP and MC on MC purchases live right now? When I go to purchase I don’t see any indication its working, just want to double check before buying some too early.

And also a big THANK YOU to you as well for reporting it, right along with the big THANK YOU to Matt for lowering it that far after my only suggesting (even if I really had no effect on the matter) a lesser change!!! You can both expect me to try operating as a wingman if I find you on my Team for a Match...


If you can answer it, I have only one question left on that Challenge in particular... The request for "20 KMDD" is allowing only KMDD or is it set up to allow Kills as well? I'm just curious if the text is accurate or not, and whether or not it may have been meant to be restrictive.

The use of KMDD is intentional.
The challenge level is meant to fall in between Kill+KMDD and Solo Kill.
Same for Savior Kill challenge It is a separate level of challenge from KIll+KMDD etc

[NiceDad]

Sorry for been a noob, after playing MWO for a year I still don't know how can a "Savior Kill" be achieved? Can anyone enlighten me?

To help save you time from Google for "MWO savior kill":

Savior Kills: Upon killing an enemy Mech. If that enemy had been attacking a teammate who has a critical component that is 50% health or lower...
