[Feedback] Adder giveaway this weekend

wtf, you can't sell the free adder prime? I knew you couldn't sell the clan package primes, but for some reason I thought you could sell the non-Invasion labeled ones. These are like the duplicate Loyalty/champion mechs.

Edit: Ah, you can sell it. I just didn't see it in my inventory list at first glance.

I wish they'd make folders for mechs so I could hide the shit like this. Maybe in ui2.5...

 

Dropping WIN from the condition has made solo queue into a mosh pit.

 

Contest that makes you hunt kills but dont have to care about winning, how could they think that would be a good idea? Sure it works (and creates a fun gameplay) for the type of big groups that we had this Friday share kills as much as we thought it possible, but you cant get that in pug drops.

 

The funny thing is, most of the players are after the free colour and not after the mech^^

 

Got the mech & bay, sold the mech, didn't need a duplicate and couldn't really be bothered going 10 more wins, it was getting on my nerves. Even with me not trying to get poitns friday or saturday, it was still a bit of grind to get the remaining pts today.

Moving on.

 

Having terrible desynch problems but within tasting distance of the 80....

 

112 battles for the 80 mark. Thats a horrible number I didn't manage to get a single kill in.

Some mechs I was levelling were easy others were like pulling teeth.

Did all the elites on my Panthers, did all the basics and elites on the Enforcers, mastered the ENF-5P and half way to the ENF-5D.

Wallet is healthier and allowed me to cover the ENF fitting plus earn an extra 13m on top.

Not sure it was worth all the grind.

 

You feel 112 battles to reach 80 matches with a single kill/assist is bad? Did you solo all of those or group it?

 

I did as many as I could in group - two thirds at a pure guess? But I was just saying it was a grind and I was surprised I didn't do better... but when I look at the stats and compare the mechs' I used the glaring differences were obvious. My ENF-5P with dual UAC5's did great. My ENF-4Rwith gauss and 3 MPL struggled to get the killing blow even when I hammered into stuff due to the cooldown on the gauss. I also died quite a bit more in the 4R where I was just being volleyed possibly from the gauss explosion damage (?) or the need to carefully line up shots so less movement.

Just another bit of evidence to back up something you say a lot - it comes down so much in these competitions to which mech you take.

Not so helpful when leveling new ones! @PyckenZot was levelling Gargoyles this weekend and you could almost hear his teeth grinding as he led every charge and missed out on almost every kill. At least for me the ENF's aren't bad and the 5P is a nice little mech until it runs out of ammo. Though my ghosts tell me I shouldn't double tap so much.

 

The event was very easy itself but I just couldn't get me to grind, too close to the Raven one, so I'm 11/13 and I'm not even going for 20.

 

I had real life this weekend and I loathe the ADR,... I had as such little hope and motivation to actually try this time. So I levelled some mechs.
As @Remarius stated, I have recited the dictionary of profanities multiple times as at times it felt as if the drops were plummeting my stats. In the end it was bad, but not as bad as it felt like,...

64 drops, 34 qualifying, 49 kills and 41 deaths ( ) ,...

On the other hand, to Rems' point the stats on the GARs are truly abominable,... not even sharing those,...

 

I made my mark of 50 points with about 5 hours to go. Took me 83 battles to do it. 98 kills. 51 deaths, 51 wins, 32 losses.

How will PGI try to piss us of next weekend? No more than 1 kill you have to lose?

 

To illustrate the weekend,...

Levelling my KGC-0000 proved to be the my best run of matches. I used a dedicated build,...



Please don't hate me (too) much,...

 

You did not have a good weekend, feel bad for you.

I really am grateful to my lancemates for their high spirits and robust psyche, it made the event possible to survive without too much toxins to bleed out post event. After some of the previous events I barely wanted to look at the game for days after. This time I might play some CW tonight.

 

@Lan The post of the KGC-0000 was more aimed at being a comical interlude. I would not have expected such a build to do anywhere as good as it did,... I was stealing kills all over the place

 

Phew...got it! Like before, here are my end counts:

80 wins over 118 total matches.
138 kills, 565 assists, 66 deaths
66 Wins, 52 losses, 0 ties
One very tired Durandal

 

I intended to just go for the Adder, but ended up doing all 80 points. Was fairly easy to get points as a light, especially with all the dumb LRM boats that come out for events.

Edit: Forgot that the camo is only unlocked for the Adder...

 

That`s the reason i stopped @60 points^^. And the adder was sold instantly, can`t tolerate a Clan mech in my IS bays

Conclusion of the weekend: Free Mechbay, free XL engine for Firestarter S (sale of Adder), 3 elited Firestartes, GXP and CBills for Modules of missing Firestarters and a free colour. Thats OK
