You need 500 dmg per trialmech. Don't be so overly dramatic.

You're not my real dad.

You're right though, I got through the trial mechs without too much difficulty.

So, now I have nothing to blame my PSR decline on besides my own lack of skill and poor decision making.

[Tywren]

cleared the event last night, did the heavies in EQ, then switched to QP for assaults. once the damage requirements were met, i just hopped into my cheetah and farmed out the components, which was honestly the hardest part. All in all, I say "Thank god that's over!" Trial mechs are trash, and too many of the FP ******* are dropping in event que, instead of sticking to Hell of Hour And A Half Wait Times that they so meticulously crafted with their own hands.

having to play trial mechs is just suffering, some of the mechs were ok like the summoner but having to get 500 damage in a srm cyclops means you'll have at least 2 unfun games. it was a huge relief when it was over.
playing against people in trial mechs is boring. i like it when my enemy can shoot back and doesn't die instantly. you can pretty much tell which team is going to win a match based on who has less people in trial mechs.

Yeah, I expect this one to be painful. I'll wait for HPG to play this mech, hopefully some fighting will happen on top and/or basement so I can deal my 500dmg.

The event is not turning out to be as hard as some people seem to be reading it in the announcement.

You only have to do 500 damage with the trial mechs to get that mech's associated reward; probably two drops for the average player.

The match score is all your match scores added throughout the event, no just trial mechs.

I played yesterday afternoon/evening and got my 500 damage in the Archer quite quickly switched to a new hero I just bought in the event sale, and started skill grinding that up, and had about 6000 match score by the time I was heading off to bed. If someone has a rainy Saturday where they're going to be lounging around the house anyway, I'm sure they could complete the whole event in a day.

On another note. I'm not seeing this event as catering to elites - you can literally own no mechs at all and run the whole thing with FTP trial mechs. The fact that there are lots of other players running trial mechs actually levels the playing field - guys aren't getting a head start over you by having expensive custom loadouts, or fully skilled mechs, or because they are great at building killer mechs in the mech lab, or because they have 2000 hours of gameplay experience with their custom build; that's all out the window when its trial mechs all over the place.

Archer-2R(S) is not counted as Archer-2R(C), is it?

Nah, I don't think so. I haven't tried though...

Attempted to try and join the event queue but seems not many people are playing it, endless waiting. Just doesn't seem to be much reason to play this event queue especially since you cannot even have a group of 2-3-4. Playing the trial mechs is a pretty chill event to achieve stuff, love that, but the event queue, not so well thought out just .02

Groups of 2 are active. Pay attention and quit whining about muh groups, you GOT it. And refrain from using a full deck of trials in the EQ, you'll just get farmed by the groups you begged for and then you'll get upset about THAT.

Actually today I just tried to do it when I was by myself, we only tried last night. My apologies for bitching, it's my middle name. Agreed with the trial, but playing Quick Play with them was actually fun and added something to the challenge which was cool, and slightly different. End of day I commend them for listening to the playerbase we have, these events more times than not have been pretty decent.

Why? The trial mechs are actually quite interesting to use, and so many of us ran them last night it made it a different experience than the normal builds we all run also.

Matt,
At the end of the event, could the trial mechs go on sale in the store? I actually found a couple I really enjoyed playing.

Ok...sigh...8vs8 with dropdeck stinks hard, it's just too slow, one spends most of the match walking around looking for 8 enemy players running in a map too large for 16 players.

[Steel Shanks]

PGI no matter how hard ye try and sell that Marik Paint Scheme... Either here for the Event, or MW5, or where ever ye show it... That's NOT Mariks Scheme! We of the FWL don't have that TERRIBLE Green in our schemes, unless yer from the Oriente Units... Either go Guards with just White and Marik Purple, or go Marik Militia with Marik Purple, Blue, and Red... That Green is feckin' terrible... That poor Champion Mech...
