Also... 5+12+10+72 = 99%

I guess Paul is the 1% in MWO after all!

That is a rounding difference! There are more values after the period.
e.g. 5,2+12,2+10,2+72,4=100%

In the Leaderboard event conditions - if I understand correctly - it says that only your 10 best matches are going to count for the event.
Than there are two additional conditions:

• 1st Tie-Breaker: Number of Matches Played (Fewer is better)
  
• 2nd Tie-Breaker: Team Damage (Less is better)

The Team damage is in the score formula, but I do not understand the other: the less I play the better it is for the event?

So it's better not using the Kodiak for the personal challenge after doing 10 "good" matches?

Thank you in advance,
D.

they are not additional conditions, they are tie breakers, as in the first ^{(lowest number of games played)} only comes into play if 2 players have identical scores, the second ^{(least team damage)} only comes into play if 2 players have identical score and identical number of drops in that varient.

for the leaderboard if I played 500 games in the weekend ^{(I have no intension of doing so, I may play 20-30 games during the event but I doubt I will play much more)} I could probably get 10 games with 1k+ damage and 5+ kills, but it would take me literally hundreds of games to get those amazing high score games, there are some people who can do that in 50 games, and there may even be some who could do it in 15 games.
Who is the better pilot the person who makes it to the top of the leader board by playing non-stop through the event or someone who gets to the top of the leader board before completing the personal challenge?

If I get even 1 more point by playing 500 games for the 10 exceptional games than the person who played 15 games for 10 exceptional games I still win, but if we both end up with identical scores the person with fewer games wins, this makes a lot more sense to me than how the first few leader board events were structured where as the tie breaker was who played more games won.

[Darky101]

So only the top 75 people actualy get a reward?

[Kelev Ra]

Please fix Kidiak's TC!!! It's impossible to play.

Thanks for the explanation!

Would be a good week to remove weight limit from group queue.
Let group fill up with epic 12 v 12 bear picnics.
Group players would mostly enjoy it, unlike PUG.

[Bolter01]

Where's a Camo reward for bears?
Did we not have these for the unseen mechs?

Group Que should not be involved as it leads to exploitation but :PGI:

It has always been like this. At least they are consistent.

Besides group queue is no gaurantee of success b/c often the level of play is better and there are few units that want carry that one guy for a whole weekend just so HE gets the glory...

You know.. the Personal Challenge would be funnier, when you had boosted it with some "Bear Hunting" stuff.. like.. +100.000 CB extra (or whatever), for every "Killed" Bear..

Mmm, I was expecting some "steal 50 picnic baskets" challenges with this event. Very disappointed .

Are you kidding? With my Kodiak I get a drop inside of 5-10 seconds every time, even with the queue. Matchmaker doesn't work like it used to dood.

No I am not kidding. Every drop I am in Bravo lance and not charlie and the waits are crazy long. Everyone in T2-3 seems to say the waits are fine. They are crazy long for me. Only 2 matches out like 30 I have been in charlie.

[Stahlherz]

At this point I'd like to point out that PGi moved the warhorn reward from the KMDD to the match score requirement. That is a nice move actually. The holo globe is still a nice thing to have, but I think players are more keen on warhorns.

Oh, is that the magic? Well I apologize then. I didn't realize that tiers would affect this. Is that because the majority of players are tier 2/3?

Uhm, 'Tier 4' here, and the few matches I have played an Assault since the Kodiak release have all come relatively fast. So there's no special magic, just a matchmaker that sometimes is a pain to be in the same universe as.

+1 for the idea of "big game hunter" and the picnic baskets. I would love to see this as an additional challenge.

[Podex]

I don't pilot a KDK, but let me go ahead and start it up for you:

OMG, I CAN'T REK 12 MANS WITH A CT THAT DOESN'T TAKE 5000DMG!!! I WANT TO BE KING OF ALL AND YOU'RE HOLDING ME BACK, PGI!!!

NERF EVERYONE BUT MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[Wrathful Scythe]

So dropping in a Kodiak stays impossible.... at least if you're not willing to wait 20 minutes per match.

Welp, Dark Souls 3 it is then.

[Desintegrator]

Nice event !

Time to play 100 hours again, to be on the top of the list !

Don't eat, don't drink, don't sleep, just press that Quick Play button...

Grinding forever...

Luckily I haven't bought the Kodiak, so I have some time to play DOOM this weekend and to sleep and relax during nighttime.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Whats happening to the game stability?

I just started a game in Frozen city, got disconnected. Was allowed to rejoin with the same mech on HPG uplink ?!?!?!

Nice event! Reasonable rewards for non-kodiak owners, and they are added to the leaderboard rewards for diehards that keep the server populated all weekend.

No complaining from me :-). Just look at the rewards you can get for bearhunting all weekend...
