We all know that trying to get the PS is like putting your nuts through a meat grinder, and we've all come dangerously close with 3 consoles etc.

I think that 3 consoles is what it should be lowered to, just like the Gold Titan destructor badge.

I'm sure everyone has their opinions so poll away.

No - I got 3 or 4 of these pins its not the hardest pin to get (Recon/Engineer and a team mate to resupply you)

I've only got 3 problem solvers, that's the least of all pins I have, next is Clear Skies, only got 7 of those.

Why not lets say, destroy only 1 console? Yeah i know its hard and lots of team mates want the kill.

I would actually find it more logical that the one who does the most damage to the enemy Titan gets the Pin.
For example; you blow up 2 consoles + core, someone else blows up 2 consoles, you get the pin.
No?

How about "IAR: Look at one console"

See unless you destroy all 4 you are not solving any problems. What problems are you solving when you only destroy 3 consoles? It is a circumstantial pin.

btw. I have one.

I have 2 problem solver pins and can't see the problem with it as is. Pins are easy enough to come by, there's more than enough points in the game already. Don't need more.

they should make the pin worth 500 points or something.. It´s pure luck to get it as it is now since you need to resupply, sure you can have a buddy to do that but there are more guys on your team than you and your buddy so lets face it you need some wortless opponents or rather no enemies defending at all + no teammates that wants to destroy consoles as well.. You could teamkill your friends trying to do so but thats probably not how it was made to be.

Anyway it´s only a pin it doesn´t matter if you need 4 or 3 or 1.

It is very had to get, i've only managed it once so far, with a team of guys helping me, but ended up with a crappy score because of all the teamkills/damage because the noobs dont know when to move when they can see i have RDX placed and the button in my hand!!.

I agree with what jsnipy says, your only solving a problem if you take out the core and aload of consoles, so i voted NO.

i have managed to get this pin about 7 times, but yesterday i was playing on a half empty server and we got there titan down, so i went and waited to jump on there titan and a transport ship came along and landed on there titan, i was shouting for a lift but he ignored me(HE WAS IN MY SQUAD), after i got killed i re-spawned on my titan and flew a gun ship over to theres, went to console 3 and started placing my rdx, then i was KNIFED in the back by my own team mate, i saw him steal my kit and continue to blow my rdx, he had allready destroyed 1,2.. think he wanted the PS badge, but it made me smile when the game ended b4 he could blow no4

Ah yeahs well, I won't lose any sleep over it.. :-)
As everyone says; the Problem Solver Pin is mostly just pure dumb luck. And everybody 's bound to have some luck sometime if they play long enough.. Right? lol..
No seriously; I tried to get it, but everytime there's some Teammate who blows up 1 of the consoles. So it really isn't just YOU who has to work to get it, the others have to stay away as well..

I voted no, I got it twice today when going for my Gold Titan Destruction badge. Just go to a 16 man server with a buddy, as soon as the shields go down, hop on the titan, him Support, you Recon with RDX, and move fast.

Really now, it's just one pin. Definitely the toughest to get (next to the Air Transport medal, ever since they fixed it...fuck off all you stat padders) and I think it should remain that way. Consider it a sign of l33tness, a lucky charm, a horseshoe over your doorway, I dunno. I'm just making up random shit as I go along.

Since I have like the Expert Recon Combat Badge and Expert Explosive Badge for like a month now (or more, since I got them after about 55hours of play). It was the first class I unlocked and those were the first 2 Golden Badges I received. Yes, I think I know what RDX and an RDX-detonater are. But that doesn't change the fact that while you're destroying the one console, someone else in your team is busy destroying the other(s).

Let's make the pin IAR: 1 second of playtime!

Geez, some badges and pins require luck and skill. Period.

for the moment, until I get my new pc, I'll stay out of the titan..... It's just a big slideshow up there.... Besides, I hate titan mode... Somehow conquest seems more action-packed...

I like Titan Mode, but for some reason my lag has become worser and worser with every patch..
Might be my PC that's getting worn out.. (Poor boy served well for 2 years now)
