This event would be based on Match Score:

Top 4 Players (Match score wise) in each Team get 1 chance to pull from Random objects - just like Summer Heat event.

CW should earn 2 Points per match

Player with the highest Matchscore gets one point on a table that might look like this:

5 points c-bills
10 Points Consumables
15 Points Camo
20 Points Cockpit Item MVP

CW should earn 2 Points per match

not sure on event duration - maybe make it a week.

Most damage in a match with the loss.
extra point if most damage including the other team.
extra points if the nearest teammate has only half the damage of you.

Most pts in a match with the loss.
extra point if you have more pts than any one on the other team.

Maybe the only one with kills or twice the number of kills than anyone on your team on the loosing side. that is dependent on the situation. I have solo killed off a lance while the 11 v 8 teammates were getting killed off. Turned around and noted it was 1 v 6. AUGH!


those are the carry harder talking points, dominate the match, but your team just dies while you are dishing it out. Just getting into a situation like these are hard to do and would be more of an achievement.

Great idea, only one drawback... there are players, especially new ones, that would never get to pull from the goodie hat.. simply cose they arent top-tier players.

And then again, some of the players that have played and kept playing since closed beta would be getting tons of stuff..

Classic case of rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.. Do not promote this.

[Windschreiter]

I see your point, but shouldn't a challenge be challenging?

Plus new players are playing in lower ELOs so they still have the chance of being among the top 4 in their team.

[TheArisen]

I like the overall idea but it's true, many players would have a real hard time even in a different elo.

[TheArisen]

Do you have any ideas on how to include more ppl? Maybe a "Roleplayer" side to the event? You get an item for every 30 pts game.

[Barkem Squirrel]

Carrying harder is more of an achievement type of task than a grab bag event. I do like this idea to recognize people carrying harder.

How to quantify the task to preform and be recognized for, is what we should look at. Top 4 or would it be under certain conditions. Dividing it up into certain conditions that automatically qualify you for the task and others that you need two or more conditions to qualify.


1. have the most damage on your team 100, 200 or more damage or half as much.
2. have 5, 6 or more kills
3. most damage of the 24 players.
4 most kills of the 24 players
5. Highest match score on the team by 20 or more pts.
6 highest match score of the 24 players.
7. 4, 5, 6 or more players failed to brake 200 damage on your team with the win.
8. Only person on the team to have 3 or more kills and lost.
9. Only person on the team to have a kill and win (note already an achievement)




Add more to this and see what PGI thinks.

[Windschreiter]

thanks for the input guys, I'll try to refine the proposal - just a bit short on time right now.

[Windschreiter]

Thought about this a while now:

First I think scoring should be kept simple - I don't like this whole formula thingy if there is already a way to rate your "value" in a fight.

I agree it's NOT suited to be a grab bag event.
I think performance should be weighted against the own team
To avoid balance issues maybe pure fluff prizes could be a solution

So the final event could look something like this:

Event would still be based on Match Score:

Top 4 Players (Match score wise) in each Team get 1 point
CW should earn 2 Points per match

5 points single color (I'd love gold, but that is restricted to the Gold Mechs)
10 Points Warhorn (some Fanfares - don't know if there is already a warhorn like that)
15 Points Camo Spec
20 Points Set of Colors
25 Points Cockpit Item MVP (to be designed)

event duration friday - tuesday


Again thanks to everyone who provided feedback!

While I see your point, there are enough events where a mediocre 30 match score qualifies you for whatever.

So I think it is in order when PGI promotes performance for a change instead of the olympic spirit.

I got a proper name for the event: LURMAGEDDON 3.0

Thank you, no. do not want.

Best part of the event would be "share the load" jokes from LOTR. Have a Terra Therma backdrop and a Stalker carrying a Commando... "I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!"
