Thing is, u are the one who brought up the 50x top-3 mission ( which sure it is the hardest one of the new special missions ), i was talking about these missions overall in the beginning before u said something.
 

OK - then we are talking at cross-purposes.

Yes - generally these particular missions are easier relative to previous events.

But with the Top-3 mission grouped in there, many players will not complete them all - in large part due to MatchMaker and the way it lumps players with significant rank-spreads into same battle.

 

Oh for crying out loud - you bring up KD?  You realize someone can get top score in battle without killing one tank - especially in CTF.

Okay, but they at least can do other missions and get free stuff either way which is better than no free stuff at all. That was my argument in the beginning.
Forgot that Dictator OD gives points for a second,but then they don't even have to be good to get top-3, just get out with dictator and isida ( and maybe Mechanic drone if they have batteries and the drone itself ), and its fairly alright, but yeah.. If it was top-3 30x, i think that would be fairly easy then for everyone.

If devs are at fault, i assume its its either 1) or 3) 
I play on HTML5 and i got everything counted, so either Flash is giving them headaches again, or they purposely made it so it does not count sometimes on Flash, so people move on HTML5 thinking it will count.

Besides when u see him say that top-3 mission is hard and he has under 1.00 KD, u can see why i though he was bad.

BTW With u saying that he has the balls for using underpowered turrets, then i have even bigger balls ( even thought i can't have them ) since i used wasp / rico ( and got 1st place xd ).

+ If u did the missions and if u think they are hard, then say it in a structured manner, and not just "Uh, ItS TrASh".

Um, we never claimed that the missions are hard. Wolverine said the mission weren't counting for him when he finished in the losing team.

 

I don't pay attention to the special missions, because I don't normally spend a whole lot of extra time on the game after I do all my daily missions. If I wanted to continue playing the game after that but just for fun, I'll go to whatever parkour battles I can find. Because, let's be honest, with what the devs been doing lately, who would rather spend their life on the game rather than do anything else?

 

The missions look pretty easy, but I'm just too lazy to do them.

Okay but u see my point of view, u get the option to do the mission and u get free stuff for doing it, ur choice if u wanna do it, no need to say its trash.

Anyways, imma go now and play some parkour, bye.

Great missions, it was nice to have containers as the rewards.

Remember that Matchmaker "balance" I mentioned in the other thread?

I'm seeing that all weekend so far.  So my General has a much, much harder time getting Top-3 when it's fighting that far above it's weight class.

Yeah, ranks are also a factor. And to be honest with you I only attempted the 50 kills with melee turret on a low ranked account because it was easier down there. I completed it. That was all I felt like doing in the special missions compartment.

I don't think it is counting the times I was on losing team - unless there is a bit of a lag for it to record.

It's counting the losses for me. I'm using Mobile so I don't know why it's not counting for you. 

[KillerDiesel 188]

Hmmm. Interesting discovery. On my VikingPrime account I have 36/50 kills on the shootout special mission.

Now here's where it gets weird, the only turret I've been using on that account for the past couple weeks is hammer with dragons breath alt. In fact I'm still only using it.

 

So I wonder if the burn damage kills is counting as kills for firebird or not.

I used Incendiary Band and killed enemies with the afterburn, and it contributed towards the mission. So yeah you're right.

Wait wut?  So I could have used smoky with the incendiary alteration instead of Isida?  What a loop-hole.

[Viking4s 10,791]

Yeah it looks like when after-burn is responsible for the death it count.

I stop with 4 missions completed, no need to force myself to do more CTF. They are just containers, I can get them with less trouble with weekly mission.

I played with client and top-3 losing team do not count.

Is that Incendiary band + Fire immunity?

How does Incendiary band kick in if you are not overheating?

I will take screenshot for you next time I see that.

Incendiary band does not make your enemies burn when you are on fire, it does when you are overshooting. If it was when you are on fire we should be able to apply fire burn to enemies when you are being attacked by stock firebird

From the WIKI... "Ignites only when self-heating"

Specifically says "self-heating" - nothing to do with "overshooting". 

If you have Fire Immunity you can't self-heat.  So the alteration should never kick in.

I agree with this. If the Vulcan itself can't overheat then the projectiles can't become incendiary. 

[DaringDeer 656]

I can verify that vulcan with incendiary and hull with fire immunity will still cause burn damage on oppenents.  It is very strong combo right now.

I knew what wiki says but, when playing with incendiary band, I have come to the conclusion that devs did a bad job when they wrote the software that implements this alteration. If you think, let's imagine this scenario, you are self-heating with this alteration and you stop shooting, then you re-start shooting before you cold down completly, so you are still self-burning and you should aplly fire burn to your enemie but you don't. That happens because bad software writting, the software for this alteration only keeps trap if you are overshooting, when your gauge bar is empty, so if you now have imunity you won't be burning and as long as your gauge bar is empty, you will be causing burn. It is extremely OP, I wish I had immunity.

I'll just spend crystals on upgrading my Defender drone.  Seems if you don't have one of those you can't compete.

Amen. Defender is way OP; as a Mk7 titan I'm constantly getting worn down by Mk6 medium hulls with defender.

[pardoes 4]

Do you know how many containers you can buy if you don't buy a drone? You are much better of buying containers. There is never a container in a drone but there can be a drone in a container you know.

I hope they will soon put a couple of containers in the ultra containers.
