He wasn't driving an LRM oxide by any chance was he? We had a run in with probably same bloke last night who got his friend to TK me for shooting my flamer at him. I saw him in the next game so proceeded to light him up with all 4 of my MG's.

It was a group of four one of which was an LRM oxide. The one I dealt with was running a crappy cataphract.

Parts of it don't look that bad. 500 match score is like 2-3 wins.

Depends on how lucky you get with teams sometimes, and that can take some time.

Theyre also doing the lootbag event again. No mechs as prizes but you can get CB, mc, etc for getting 80 match score (easy).

Participating on a loss will get you more than 100 easily, since match score is based on personal performance instead of win/loss.

6 flamer Locust. My game consisted of flaming our executioner till our marauder shot me with a gauss, then flaming him till he shot me again and i died.
Still no loss in skill rating.
Also, I got the cache.

You can't lose rating if your team wins the fight, at worst you'll go neutral.

You definitely can lose rating on a win; I think the game sets the bar for PSR increase at different levels depending on your weight class. I have losses in assaults where I do 600+ with multiple solo kills and don't go up; but 400 damage in a light feels like a guaranteed increase.

I came back to this game after months and just took part in a match where the last person left alive on my team was a 1 ER large sniping locust and he killed 2 other mechs and then brawled an LRM Night Gyr for 3 minutes and won.

Oh wow, what a great reward, a whole 250 MC, that will get me what, a 1/4th of a color? 1 decal? And all I have to do is to play every day for 10 days. As if I wasn't already bored from playing every single day for 17 days.

Pretty obvious the new "play ever day" challenges are there to inflate the active player numbers. And why do they create "get a kmdd on the new mech" challenges? Do they want to punish the people that actually spent money on their game?

Alternatively 250 MC buys you 3x one-shot paint jobs on whatever mechs you like. :eng101:

You should choose Fractal and clown colors of course. (I assume you have purple, green and red unlocked already)

The flames camo is the best, got it on most of my mechs already. The Warhammer looks really sweet using that skeleton camo too. At work so I can't show pics but you better believe my mechs look fabulous.

The actual c-bill payout of the Mektoberchallenge is less than 80k per match (possibly even lower than 50k for most players). And that's IF you want to do all challenges. If you're annoyed by "being forced" to play MW:O daily. Perhaps consider a break.

Yeah, though the new challenge has even lower requirements and is doable even with skipping a few days. Even though MW:O has Macrotransactions, their event rewards are okay. And they tend to do the KMDD vs. new Mech events on each new Mech.

I've read a couple of gaming threads about the Red Dead Redemption 2 teaser, and apparently there's a TON of gamers out there who bought GTA V twice, first on console and then on PC, because they couldn't wait three piddly months to play their tank hijacking/ hooker murdering simulator. Many bought it a third time just to have it in both last- and next-gen consoles.

So to sum it up, I'm feeling considerably less embarrassed than I did this morning about the eighty-five of my hard-earned spondulix that PGI holds.
