Like A Champion Challenge Feedback

Just figured I'd pass on some info from the Town Hall, Russ mentioned that there is going to be a competition that will give away a free CTF-3D(C) with a mech bay over the weekend.

Feel free to make a real news post and delete this one Looks like another one of "those" competitions though, 1 kill, 1 assist, and win. Looks like I'm pulling out my 3L for this one!

 

I suppose its doable. 1 kill and 1 assist is easy to get but a win? in PUG Land? That is more challenging LOL but ok we will see what we can see. They must be trying to pump up the numbers again.

 

Group or PUG eligble I believe? At least that's how I read it. Predict group queue will be complete rolls as teams will just go for all out quick wins, back to back.

30 wins is quite a bit, could be as much as 60 tries before simple averages help. I am going to see how aggravating the gameplay is this weekend before comitting.

 

The big thing that I thought about here (had to re-read and make sure I was right) is that this won't be quite the same as the last time they did the 1K/1A/Win result. The last time they did this, you also had to survive the match, so people were being cowards once they had a kill and assist, and that caused problems for a lot of people. Thanks to that last stipulation being gone, I will probably try to get my 30 in my Dragon instead, since it's almost guaranteed to get at least one kill and assist per game, and I've carried quite a few in that bad boy.

It might be annoying, especially in PUG land, but their lack of exclusion of group drops in the text makes me think it's all-inclusive. Hell, it may even count CW (though that would be a bad way to grind a tournament). So worst case scenario is PUG only, which means drop in your most lethal mech and go balls out to do as much damage to the team to try and guarantee a win. Best case allows for groups, and you team up with as many people as you can to wreak havoc

 

Yep. And since I've long since mastered my CTF-3D, hey, potential free mechbay & some cbills. No need for a second one.

 

Eh... It's the best of the CTFs, but if I had 2 of them I couldn't have an FS9-S, a JR7-F, and a RVN-3L. And without that my drop deck is gutted!

 

I have a 3D as well, but I figure I will just sell my normal one, and keep the (C) for the bonuses Rarely play it anyway, but it's still a fun mech.

 

Well amusingly things get easy this time as courtesy of CW I have about 8 pre-built/moduled mechs so I'll just churn them as soon as I die if it looks like we or they are being rolled. Will stay to give warnings/pss on information if its close.

Not sure I can be bothered though except I seem to remember the CTF-3D (c) has a good XL engine I could use elsewhere.

 

STD280 I'm afraid. Is one mechbay and 3m CB's worth the 30 wins? We'll see how gameplay is.

 

Fuck that then not wasting my time as already have the 3D and never particularly gelled with it.

 

Admittedly, the CB was a guesstimate on sales price of the regular 3D stripped of engine. Not sure what the sales price would be on 3D(c).

But yeah, feels a bit underwhelming unless gameplay is good.

 

Typical,... don't have much time this weekend,...

Still, preheating the BJ-1X!

 

I allready have this mech, but the mechbay is nice and I wanted to do some CBill Farming this WE anyway. 30 Wins with Kill shouldn`t be this difficult (Mathematical: 10 Points/Evening)

 

too many wins, I'd prefer older conditions maybe with less wins even tho with my spider 5D I'd not fear the old formula

 

Gonna give it a go. Real life tends to get in the way though! I will at least get the three premium days to not enjoy over the weekend! haha

 

I'm actually considering to get just 2 wins over Saturday and Sunday, get the last game monday and the log off before redeeming, so I will actually be able to use a bit of premium.

Now if only I had something I really wanted to level on sale...

 

Well I have loads of Premium but am tempted to just do 3 qualifying wins to get the +3 days added.....

 

I have a month of banked premium running atm and will get those 3 days extension. Trying to get 30 wins over the course of "this" weekend will probably result in a divorce, so I'll stay content with only the one CTF-3D.
