Can I teach the groundhog to drive my mechs..?

I guess would be a better player than me

To those who decide upon taking part in the "Groundhog Solaris EQ" stuff, I salute you. May you have fun, and plenty of earnings to go with it.

You could try, but I would not recommend it. Last that I knew, the particular Groundhog in question was rather scared of moving faster than its' own body could scoot. So it would likely be a worse player than you are.

Well... Hours later, I finally decided to try it just once, and I won't be trying again. Getting put with someone who doesn't use communications, running into some opponent duo immediately (with what appeared to be a possible aimbot cheat which I can not be 100% certain of, but their timing was way too perfect for human hands) that insta-wiped me out, and finding the queue considerably toxic is enough to drive me away once again. It simply is never fun when there was no chance to even reasonably try.

Does this apply towards the Steam Solaris achievements? Please tell me it does. My OCD completionism needs it.

If it does, you'll see things change and update with your work. But if it fails to, which I fear will be the case, then please avoid being upset by stuff not counting. Solaris Mode within the MWO environment has been unavailable for some time. Certain main items in the Achievements listing for Quick Play will also become impossible to complete, should those in PGI's MWO Staff decide that Team sizes are being reduced to 8v8 because of lacking player count. Those would be rather sad days for many people, seeing as it seems like certain Achievements will never be opened to earning within Faction-based environment systems.

Since it seems this is your first post, I might as well note... Welcome to the MWO Forums and all the madness within...

Solaris EQ does not count towards Solaris achievements on Steam. Those are specifically for the Solaris queue so EQ does not trigger it. They are unachievable.

Thanks for the info, 'BlueDevilspawn'... This is sad news to hear. I wonder what Steam's Policies are on Achievements which have been created but then put beyond reach? I hope this doesn't put PGI in some kind of hot water we're unaware there is...

wondering if there is a public standings/results list from this event?

There is no leaderboard for Event Queue

THAT was a great event.
Finally some change from the quick plays.
THANK YOU!
