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...

Note that you don't need to deal the killing blow. Attacking the target within 15s before it goes down also rewards the "saviour kill".

For reference, all reward payouts:

A huge Thank You! for lowering the score needed to get the Atlas! It'll be a welcome addition to the hangars of many of the more casual mechwarriors. ( Or ones who, like me, can't hit the broad side of a dropship. )

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

Understood, and Thank You again for the clarification & communication as it's extremely appreciated. Please continue to always keep in touch with your Forums users!

This should be very intriguing to complete when 'Phase 3' starts, particularly when everyone tries to deal maximum damage on a single target like a feeding frenzy. Either that, or they get wildly selfish about their targets and end up making a Match last much longer than usual, which would enable some longer-term strategies to play out. I will certainly be looking forward to this!


Before I forget, in regard to future Events and what they could contain, does the system have the ability to say "Do item X so many times OR instead do item Y so many times" in order to earn a single particular reward? If so, then there is an idea which I could post either here or to Event Suggestions later about some of that Support-type equipment. Please let me know if you would like to hear it, provided that kind of option is possible?


EDIT :: By the way, I see what you did there. Nice "007"-style touch!

Have you already received your "Seriously?!" Achievement and the "Bridesmaid" Title within? It looks like you're currently able to hit & kill the broadside of a Dropship to me, based on your previous Month of stats in the Leaderboards accessible here on MWO's site. Who knows, but I might even end up seeing you on the battlefields long enough to watch that happen again.

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

BAS-E with 2 LBX-20 and 4 SRM4s.

If you can't get 600 on that you're not even trying... :-)

[Mark Yore]

Is the start date for the Phase 2 event correct?

In Australia we're just about to click over to May 9 and it shows there will still be 1 day and 10 hours to go. So I'm assuming the May 8 event will start on May 9 in the US?

No event in honor of Victory Day? Think about it next year

And now let me ask a question: why does the MWO not celebrate the victory over Nazism?
I playing MWO for 7 years, now ask you a question: why have you never opposed Nazism?

Similar to a Marauder IIC Scorch build : Dual UAC/20 and 4x SRM6

I can't believe that there were soo many people concerned about hitting 500 Match Score because there were Events in the past where we had to do it 3 to 5 times AND STILL DID IT ANYWAY back then!

500 Match Score is EASY if you combine :
- Any good DAKKA mech.
- Have a decent team.
- Do your damn best to pump damage while taking as little damage as possible!

Good DAKKA mechs :
- KGC-000 with 6 x AC/2
- MCII-B with 2 x UAC5 and 2 x UAC10
- DWF-B or DWF-UV with a shitload of the above or the LB-X as an alternative
- MAL-MX90 with 6 x AC/5
- MAD-3R with 3 Rotaries ofcourse!
So 3 x RAC/2 and 4 x ML
- Less good Clan alternative : Marauder IIC with 3 x UAC/2 and 4 x ER ML
The armor is horrible however so watch out!

Some alternative options :
- ARC-2R or Tempest with 2 x MRM 20/30 and 6 x ML/MPL
- Any other mech you can build the same way!
- Orion IIC A variant with 4 x SRM6 and 1 x UAC/20
- KTO-18 with 6 x SRM6
- Shadow Hawk with 3 x AC/2 or RAC/2
Or the one we had for Free some time ago with 3 x MRM10 and 3 x Light PPC



That's what I can think of right now, but I think there are more options like for example some of the good Gauss builds like the Sleipnir and some others!



Really... it's not that hard!

Being in a good team is the hardest part these days...

Many thanks for your very detailed advice!

==>A number of seasoned players (including yours truly) voiced concern that since it is
MWO who wants to attract both new players & returning players back to MWO,
this entire May 2022 Event is geared towards this objective.
And then the End-May 2022 patch with Events come, and the fun begins!

==>As such, returning players (and especially new players) with unskilled mechs and non-optimal weapon/eqpt layout would struggle to to achieve even one (1) game of 500 Match Points within the 3-week Event window in Phase 3.

==>In fact, from my own experience as "new player" from two years ago, it was almost impossible to achieve 500 Match Points, and I was using Atlas Kraken. Pity new players making do with mere unskilled Champion mechs...

Hence our request to make it a CHALLENGE for new comers (and returning players), but still (barely) possible to achieve!

Aff, just had a match (like I experience many as of late) with a fourman premade sporting lights only (whilst being obviously as lousy in lights as I myself am) and failing mostly at the 200 damage mark per Mech. But hey, FUN! Premades should have a minimum drop tonnage (to soak up a little damage) to prevent such shafting of the team.

May-Hem Phase 2 - One for the Road: Earn one victory in conquest mode.
Is NOT registering the wins across many games by multiple BWC members.
What gives?!?

I was just coming here to see if anyone else had that problem. Just got a win on conquest, through points not kills, and no reward. Is this another "Sorry, we meant Assault" thing?

Same issue. Two victories on conquest, reward is still locked.

I always get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I come on here to report a bug and find that someone else is having the same problem. Don't worry guys, you're not alone.

Spoiler

And yet you are alone; so very alone.

I look forward to the PGI fixing the glitch and coming home from work tomorrow to find out what the fix is.

Mostly because May 9th is only celebrated as the end of WW2/"defeat of Nazism" for a single specific country; PGI is a Canadian company and as such May 9th doesn't really have any special significance. Then again, May 8th only has significance here in Australia as a meme, rather than anything actually significant so... eh?

Also yeah; more annoyed at the lack of Conquest win reward.

Confirmed win in conquest, no reward in game for it. Teammate same before i tried.

Confirmed not to be "we meant assault" this time.
