Will the Treats include little green health boxes that get dropped every time you kill an enemy?

Oh boy, I'm actually really excited for this. It sounds less competitive and more "play the game for fun" oriented.

PGI, you continue to surprise me with the variety of these events!

What's the main difference for players who achieve a qualifying score and those who didn't?

From the text, I assume those who qualify WILL get a prize while those who don't depends very much on their luck in getting a prize.

I'm curious what qualifies a player as well, but I'm assuming we will only learn the details Friday. If it's like the 500k rewards from a few weeks back, that may be "outstanding" rounds totaling a certain number of points. Those aren't hard for some players to achieve, (I got all 20 last time) but new players will find them way out of reach. I hope it's fair for all players, as I want to see casual and new players get some love from these challenges.

kewl, aaay

[IllCaesar]

From the sounds of it, it is qualify in a match to get a "treat", and each "treat" is "a chance to win a prize". Sooo...

Qualify in a match for a raffle ticket > win with raffle ticket to get a goodie.

Thats how it sounds right now, but I freely addmit that I could be misinterpretting it.

I'm hoping that its more along the lines of a scale, unlike the 500k for 130 point matches from a few weeks ago, so that even with scores that aren't outstanding like that, you still can get some goodies - just not as many as somebody who is playing much better than them.

The whole qualifying and stuff sounds like another unhealthy event like last week.!
I just want to have fun. Not going through the tension of get X amount of scores in a single match.!

Couldn't agree with you more. There were several players I know who missed out on the 10 million, as they couldn't get the required score. We will have to wait for the details tomorrow.

Yeah, I know, but like... hide the layer and save a second version for the forums today.

Take some pride in the work that you do. That should be the only reason you need, but if it isn't, consider that people will see your sloppy work and believe that you are sloppy.They might even suspect your employer may be sloppy, or at least doesn't set high standards.

Doing brilliant work when it counts isn't good enough. It always counts.

Please forgive my huff; it comes from the Marine Corps.

[Darrious Quinn]

Just as long the "Qualifying score" is reasonable enough for our novice and moderate players to actually hit score and benefit from this. The last event that dangled a prize in front players who hit a "qualifying score", it only served to frustrate and ostracize many of our newer and less skilled players because the required score was too high for them to achieve. Between equipment constraints and the full force of community participation focused on individual scores, it was impossible for rookies to hit the mark and be included in the event.

Keep that in mind when you establish a Qualifying Score parameter for a holiday event, everyone should have fairly easy time of it. Reaching a match score of 130 (the required score of the last event if memory serves) may be trivial to a veteran, but it would be a ground breaking career best for a rookie that wouldn't be duplicated easily, let along consistently.

[Hayato1983]

Good, hope it is easy for all players. Noting complicated .
