new mechbay challenge

It's doable, but it's still a lot.
Assuming a 50/50 win/loss ratio it would take 100 games, so 25 per day, and at 10 minutes per game it's 4 hours a day for 4 days.

 

I have about 100k c-bills per match (never used premium time) so playing 100 matches would already generate 10 millions, tho a 65% bonus is nice it's like having premium time more or less.

I think I will get the mechbay for sure, then eventually the premium time (7 days is very interesting, especially when after the event the nova will be released for cbills).

 

Hm. For me it's gonna be tough again as I'm not at home again this weekend. I think i will only have some hours on Sunday and Monday. But my primary goal is the MechBay. At least I can skill my new Cicadas while doing the challenge.

 

Been doing the challenge, 11/3 w/l and going strong. Only using this mech and no silly base rush tactics.

While grinding out wins with my clan primes and IS heroes, I easily made 200k a match. I used this to buy two shiny new Victors that I will outfit with my 50 wins CBill bonus. Also elites the rest of my timbys and summoners

 

That C-Bill bonus will be nice, if I can net the 50. I've been wanting to start mastering Ravens, and that would buy me the 3L. Or I could save it for 2 more weapon modules when the patch comes...

 

Im at 20 of 50, so just a lot of play time to get my goal now: 50 for the bonus, some cbills with premium, and 2 new 35% off Orions, and if im lucky enough, the third

 

I'm enjoying seeing all these clowns overheat themselves to death when a loss becomes all but certain.

 

I'm having bad luck so far heh...only 1 win, the rest have been just awful rounds where I get 700+ damage, rest of the team barely hits 200...

 

It's weird everyone is commenting on losses. I've been seeing the same thing. My win rate is WAY down yesterday. I'd like to believe it's just because the avg/good players are leveling subpar mechs with all these cbill mech sales and can't carry, but SO MANY people are saying the same thing about losing way more than usual. Of course, POOTY said in a match he got his 50 wins in 60ish games, so I guess absurd win rates are happening for people, too.

 

Thanks Aylek. No point for me to get 20 then. I am on vacation this week so it would sit idle. Its going to irk me to see the incomplete challenges in my profile, but I don't go there often.

 

I've been winning more then loosing. To be fair, have been playing builds that I know are way effective. 25 games, 17 wins, 8 losses.

Edit: 21 wins, 9 losses. About 2-1 win loss.

 

The good thing with 12v12 games is there are as many winners than losers. Plus if it's true good players are piloting subpar mechs, there is no reason not to be the same thing on the other team.
I also heard a lot that some are soooo incredibly good with such a 1337 Elo rank they only can be grouped with noobs to balance their awesomely high skill and that's why they lose... they're flattering themselves if you want my opinion.

 

Curiously, decided to take account of defeats too for the first time ever. 20 victories and 14 defeats in 3 different mechs, none of them elited. I dont feel it different from usual for me, so much be my aprox number lately.

My guess is that many ppl its too much used to group drops. U need to be more flexible and tactically wise in solo drops. U follow no plan, instead u follow the possible exploits. Ur playstyle is more important that any possible practice u had. Also u can rely in ur group only till some point, and chat can be as good as an enemy if the stupid is the one giving orders. "Just use ur brain and everything will be fine" is my advice when i see a constant chat spam, or ppl going to places that cant be held without a LOT of teamplay.

BTW, with so many ppl taking that games seriously, best epics moments too Its a game, man, just a game, and we play for fun

They are blafing and/or lieing. U dont know the ELO of anyone, nor yours

 

Remarius is having the worst luck right now with 5 straight losses

On a good note, I just got my 7 days of premium time hear:

 

Actually, it activates when you hit "redeem." I am not sure if I can handle 100 games of MWO in a weekend anymore so I hit my 20 wins an logged out before the system delivered my prize. Next time I log in I will have my 7 days of PT to play off of.

 

Takes 15mins approx to activate

 

Yeah, but it still doesn't activate itself unless you play.
