They didn't set the bar for themselves so who cares. 250 is indeed steep for newcomers especially--I wish it was 200 instead. I guess PGI really wants to distract us during this weekend.

As for me, my BLR-3S has not failed to get the required score in every match, so far.


I wonder how the MM would react to "everyone" using an ASSAULT Mech to assure their 250 point min. requirement? :)

I see that you failed to answer the question of the topic. It is indeed hard for newcomers and PGI employees to get 250 match score.


And I fail to see what the Score has to do with whether a PGI Artist can achieve it or not? If the OP had an actual point, then perhaps it could be better discussed.

The rewards of this event is a joke.

The only thing what worth is the Timberwolf.

The rest is terrible. Rewards suck and doesnt promote you to play.

It will be a sight to see, but not gonna happen. Not while Heavies exist. Heck even if Heavy+ Assault classes take 90% of the queue, I'll just hop onto my HBK-4J or WVR-6R, or my Crows and rake in the points just as easily.

There is nothing sucky about the rewards except the consumables and trick items. I'm sure most players, especially the newbies appreciate the MCs, mechbays, PTs, and C-Bills, and even the cockpit items. The required score is high, but that's another topic.

250 is perfect. Hard enough to be challenging. Easy enough to be obtainable.


Sweet, but you didnt answer the question ... how many PGI employees can finish the event?

Why are they still giving CW games equal rewards to standard ones? They take longer to queue for and complete.

CW games should really be worth 2 or 3 rewards each.

I think I will quite enjoy the 3 MechBays (+ other stuff) I have achieved thus far. If I get a MC(C) that will be gravy... :)

@OP, I do not think the forum community has the data to fully answer that question, considering devs also play alt accounts. But I'll throw a guess and say 3. Exactly 3.

But, putting your question into a rhetorical context, I feel it's irrelevent because being an artist or game programmer doesn't automatically make one an expert gamer. Writing your own game won't make you the best at it. For example when World of Warcraft gamers had already completed the first raid dungeon when the game released, the developers who wrote the mechanics of the dungeon hadn't even downed all the bosses yet and were utterly amazed at the skill level of their player base. Programmers write code, artists draw, gamers play games.

They're looking at the rewards from a cost perspective. How many rewards can they afford to give away without diminishing the value of the items too badly? Throw the players a bone and give them a chance to win something nice, but don't just give it away. They just finished giving away hero mechs in the form of L variants.

I dunno, I think a TBR champ is one of the best free prizes that a no-cash player can hope to win so I would hope the scoring requirements reflect that.

------------------------------
Edit - Just saw they lowered the requirement from 250 to 150. I take back the comment about giving away the TBR. They're giving them away now.

Not bad discussion, but the original premise has earned this a trip to Jett Comm
