I like it that you can decide on your own target and just work towards it. I just aimed for at least a mech bays worth and I got it.

All the recent challenges provide at least one easy to attain goal with a substantial payout. Just x points for three days premium time. That's good enough for me. No need to aim for the victor or cat.

Together with the stocking challenge, I think the challenges have been more compelling and fun. As long as u know your own limit and not try for 50 matches at the expense of the family.

76 qualifications for 114 matches so far, almost exclusively in my BNC-3M, with an XL380. :D

That's a nice 2.0 success rate, so I'm fairly happy.

Games have been horrible again this afternoon. Been in a few where it felt like no one was wanting to kill anyone and deaths were accidental rather than meant. 30% overall rate, so I'm not getting anywhere near even 1k MC this event.

Don't get me wrong, free stuff is free stuff, but when it seems to be encouraging bad play it feels like a chore to play. I decided to go "ah, sod it" for my match before tea and just went for assists. 1 kill, 11 assists, 3 legged mechs. Lovely.

-.-

^ Agreed, I need more C-bills! I have going for the jugular in every match I play so to speak. I have not has a single high kill match where I did not qualify. If I am getting 4-5-6 kills a match, I do way more than enough damage to make up for it.

So playing to kill is WAY more beneficial. Means your team is more likely to win, and you make a ton more C-bills, and your chances to qualify are really good as well. Seems like a win/win/win to me.

Why are kills worth less than assists? What possible sense does that make?

It was made that way to promote teamwork... because before that the forumla put the need on kills... and so kill stealing and multiple kills so most didn't get their points. Thus Assist are easy to get, but it breeds the idea that it's great to tag then to kill...

I believe I got 63 wins out of who knows how many matches...probably less than half were actually winning ones...though I was leveling some Spiders I purchased with the winnings from the last challenge. Needless to say I am very happy with my effort and the opportunity to grind with the best of them!

It seems that scores for the tournament are no longer logged, even though it hasn't ended yet?

It seems that it ended at Midnight GMT by accident and not Midnight PST... at least that's a reasonable assumption as it would be an easy mistake to make.

The theory that the system trigger went off at midnight UTC/GMT makes a lot of sense. Just about the time the ticker stopped, the month three premium week showed up as redeemable in-game.
