Notes on Clan Event Challenges:

Players can join a Clan part way through an event in order to obtain these extra Event Challenges.

If you are removed from your Clan, or choose to Leave a Clan during the event, you will no longer be able to participate in the Clan Event Challenges. After the 24 hour cooldown you can then join a different Clan. This will give you access to any active Clan Event Challenges, and any Clan Group Challenges will be updated to the current total for your new Clan. If the Clan has already completed and claimed a Clan Group Challenge, the new member will not be able to claim that reward. Players will not gain double rewards by Clan hopping.

New Charlotte looks unique; nice to spice up the colour pallet.

Remove the arena challenges and it's an A+ event. With them (even without the horrible servers ) it's a solid C-.

Also fair warning to everyone else. I spent 3 Million gold in some of my few moments in game and none of it counted.

Them removing the Arena challenges is the same thing as you just not doing them...

Oh, wow. Cosmic Banshee! It's been a long time since you offered that. Very cool.

Not quite, them being removed also would bring in a different challenge type (maybe one that doesn't incentivize losing) and/or redistribute that event currency.

Players not doing a bad challenge doesn't make the challenge not bad.

Unfortunately there is only 12k currency available (if you do all the arena challenges as well as everything else) and Charlotte costs 10k (if you have to buy all the souls to get the frags).
The drop rate of getting her direct from a soul is only about 0.375% which is pretty poor.
Unless you are very lucky or buy extra currency, you probably won't have anything left to buy any Banshee Bespokes.

[Edit] Just noticed you get 10 souls directly from the clan challenges as well as getting currency drop. This means there is just enough currency to get the new Charlotte and 1 T3 Banshee Bespoke if you complete ALL the challenges (very unlikely)

I ran a Baphomet's Bar key with Hellraiser Eddie. I got the progress for that challenge but I got no progress on the challenge for winning any frontier dungeon battles

Can confirm. Ran 2 keys for the 25x challenge. No “any frontier dungeon” progress.

Yeah. That's disappointing. I've got a a fair number of banshee talis from a few years ago when the last offered them. I'm going to recommend to my clan that they go for the Banshee rather than Colorful Charlotte. Green banshee with a T3 and Ygg is a significant team protector. Colorful Charlotte will come back as a heroic or a sacrifice character eventually. Since I have the talis, though, I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do.

In my case, I ran 3 Baphomet's Bar Key. Only got progress in Baphomet challenge... until that challenge was achieved, then the counter started in "any frontier dungeon" challenge.
Very strange. Sending a ticket...

Does anyone understand how the Clan Night City challenge works? It's hard to be certain what's going on, because I could have clanmates doing the challenge at the same time I am. But I've got Infinite Dreams Eddie, Charlotte, and Wrathchild as the team (no backseat eaddies). I'd expect that to do 3 challenge points per round, since that's how these things normally work, but it doesn't seem to be. I've been running the rightmost room in the first part of the city (Siren Wails), which is a 3 step battle. So I expect it to be worth either 3 or 9, but I've definitely seen the score increase by _2_.

I also did the final boss battle, since it's just one step, but doing that, I've seen the score not increase at all.

I haven't experimented with fewer choppers on the team to see what that does, yet. Has anyone already done the legwork?

Now I just did some runs in Siren Wails with the 3 choppers, and got nothing. That suggests that my runs aren't counting and the ones where I saw increases, were someone else in the clan. I wonder if one of the characters breaks it.

OMG, it's not "Night city with people on Motorcycles (Choppers)" is it? It's those guys in leather jackets and beards. <embarrassed>

It was a known issue that is said to be fixed but I can't verify as I already wasted my ironite doing my baphs bar without it counting.

To build on this: it's drudgery enough to have to win 250 arena/gauntlet battles, especially when every battle you win means you have to face harder teams, making the challenge progressively more tedious to complete as you go, so that the only way to keep winning is to tank a bunch of battles as MuzakMaker points out. That's all a drag.

But also having a challenge to win 250 arena battles while using 3 power moves in each battle? That's atrocious. I've racked up about 100 arena victories so far this challenge, and I've used three power moves in exactly 6 of them. I could put together a separate arena team to churn out power moves for some of those battles (I usually use rocket dog for that) but it's just a boring pain in the ass, and 250 is way too many to expect.

I agree.

"Find the right balance in difficulty that you win, but you don't win TOO fast," is interesting for 10 or 15 times. 250 is outrageous.

That said, the real problem is that there's rare, good stuff to get as rewards and not enough currency to go around. Usually, there's one great thing to get and then random consumables to finish off the currency on. This time, there's a new character AND a significantly good Bespoke that hasn't been offered in well over a year. You folks should either spread the good rewards across multiple events, or give us an unlimited grind that we can do to afford both (as you do with the monthlies).

Of course, it would help immensely if we could actually get into the game reliably, or if the game didn't just stall with the spinning skull of death when you try to do anything remotely useful, like cosmos, arena, running keys, using the store, etc.
