    Hello,

    It seems we are going to get a new type of challenge this weekend.
    Every day is for one game mode.
    Wonder what are the prices for each step.

    Lol think I can avoid that unless the rewards are great as my c-bills are decent again and any xp is just stacking up on mastered chassis.

    I don't care about the prizes.... any challenge is welcome as long as it's not a board-challenge like last weekend.
    I kinda feel like a quinea pig with every challenge I play.

    Wheres the challenge though?

    A handful of these have been good the rest not really - 50 wins etc? Thats not a challenge thats a trial of patience and a judgement on whether you have a real life. ;)

    Sadly I have done almost all of them (I missed like the first ever challenge). :(

    That said I do normally deliberally run out mechs I'm doing the mastery slot on so at least the xp goes to a good cause - with no mechs to level and a steadily building c-bill war chest I struggle to see why i'd want to subject myself to one of the less interesting solo "tests". ;)

    Hm. They must want more data on gamemodes...I am still a little put off after last weekend so this'll have to be for mechsbays or MC (not likely ever). I won't bother for CBills this weekend.

    Sounds like a good excuse to finish mastering my Summoners. Wonder what's involved...

    Hopefully they'll gift us some mechbays for this challenge. I myself and pretty excited about the upcoming IS quirks that are about to drop. If they're good and interesting enough, I may end up buying some old mechs that I desperately wanted to love. SDR-5V, I'm looking at you!

    Sounds like fun! I enjoy different game types greatly, so this should mix things up a bit.

    Really easy to get 200 points, yet quite funny, I love spotting when half team is LRMs.

    Anyway for me it was not counting TAG, but only spottings.

    I love the typo on "challange" :rolleyes: <= purple emoticon! so awesome! :smug:

    The rewards are pretty cheap (even though premium time is always welcome) but in the other hand it's achieved quickly.
    One thing I like with this challenge is points are earned on both solo and group queue.

    Revised points system, I like it.

    Challenges should be easily doable by new players too, as they are the ones who need quick cbills the most.

    I had 2 friends try and quit because "it's a nice game and all, but after 3 days I play I can't even buy 1 mech I like, I'll never make it to 3 to master them".

    Btw: the premium time you earn is active from the moment you complete the challenge...

    yes, anyway there's a way you can delay it if you are like at 190, do last match (score 10 or more ofc) then log off, it will be redeemed and activated the next log in :)

    Totally forgot about the challenge today until like an hour or so ago, and haven't played last night.

    Have to say the points are easily doable, over 200 points now.

    I love events that does not require a lance. I can just drop in, do my shit, and get the stuff quick.
