First statement is damage done by you, second one would obviously be damage done by your team and not damage done TO your team. How would anybody know that ? And since when is Friendly Fire called Team Damage ?

And if they meant Friendly Fire Damage they gotta call it that.
Thats like going around and calling cars bananas. Holy crap on a *******, thats just sad. Somebody should get hospitalised in a psychiatric facility for that.

You're preaching to the choir with me, but the rest of the people around here made it seem like it was my problem I could interpret "team damage" as "total damage done by the team".

All the QQ in this thread makes it sound like people think this will be any different from any other weekend in Assault Warrior: Online.

You're not too far from the truth:

Okay, now this is getting to be rediculous...

Where is the support for lights and the representation for light mechs? There is NONE. No special tournament for light mechs and pilots, no "Light VS the World" No special sale for light mechs AT ALL. Im sorry PGI/IGP but im not sorry. You want a balanced game, then please take a look at what your doing to lights in the game. No one wants to play lights because 1) they dont get enough damage to matter in tournys/pugs/ect. 2) we dont get any sort of bonus for capping in conquest OR capturing the base in assault. 3)look at the number of lights that drop per match in PuG's. 1 maybe 2 if your lucky. In my personal experience,(so im not speaking for all light pilots) 75% of the time im the ONLY lifght mech in the group...

This needs to change. Im asking you guys to look at whats been coming out lately. Assault/Heavy mechs in the last 4 months. We got the spider late last year early this year? That shouldnt happen. Yes, its cool that these great battlemechs are coming out and its all fun, but when you take a vast magority of players out of the game I.E. the light mechs and their pilots, you get an unbalanced "lets see what kind of stupid alpha build we can make" game.

Please PGI, do light pilots a favor and show some love. We play just as hard as the other guys, all we want is the recognition for it.

Because it is all about the money and nothing else with the way the pricing is heavier the mech the better the profits will be.

The phoenix pachage demonstrates this well, only the most expensive package gets you the largest mech.

The MC pricing scale for hero mechs is 75MC per ton of a mech so the flea hero would be 1500MC while a hero atlas would be 7500MC thats 5 times more.

No real surprise why there is
1 hero light
2 hero mediums
4 hero heavies
4 hero assaults

Even if they sell hero light mechs in bundles of 2 or 3 like they did with the fang/flame it is still a worse sale than a single illy or firebrand. Same goes with MC sales on normal mechs.

Hopefully we will get our day when the speedcap is sorted out.

Well I was on the top for a while in mediums, but I have actual things to do this weekend.

[Ryvucz]

Not opting in, I'd rather stab my eye out with a spoon, thanks.

And to show my dedication, it will be one of those ornamental spoons that are 3 feet long (Almost 1 meter for you non-US types).

since the first tourney I have said: solo que for solo opt ins.

That actually makes me a little ill. I'm off to play skyrim until the tourney is over.

Seriously, bring class/chassis restrictions ASAP. Plenty of other team games restrict classes in order to manage the total output of a team, and it keeps you from having to come down on assaults with the nerfbat with strange math problems and hardpoint spreads. We won't be killmurdered by highlander/stalker squads if they can only bring 2/3 to a fight at all.

Im having more fun playing with some mates in a group and effing up all the guys that are in the challenge, cos you know... easily discernible by wielding cheese
And no, ladies, I dont need some whine, my bottles are well filled and my time better spent doing funnier stuff than this "challenge".

half day spent for nothing. I did not know that to participate in the tournament i must to register in it

[mrcrazymonkey]

I find it really funny how people are complaining about the tourney. You really got nothing to lose from opting in, except maybe some dignity once you realize how ****** you are. If you play with a group, you have a lot more solo and disorganized teams to stomp. Yay?

You've got nothing to lose except all of your sleep/eyesight and once rigimortis sets in you can't move!!

If you wanna be in the top 5 in this tourney prepare for a LONG session. You need to grind out 10 perfect matches.

Tournaments need a max amount of games to pull stats from. Best 10 out of 50 or so, not an entire weekend.

Greeeeat, another weekend of nothing but Assaults running around. PGI puts a good patch out, there was actual variety on the battlefield for once....now this tourney ***** it all up again. Head up *** is PGI on their best day it seems.

It´s gone just like *snip*, and in the light of the ongoing Tourney and the X-Mas sale going on I will just say this :

Oh and if you Mods are told to take this post down as well, dont, I´ve copied it and WILL paste it over and over this forum if you force me to ...

[The Zookk]

I like how this tournament is a pretense to finding out which mechs are doing the most damage and require nerfing im just too smart for you PGI, sorry. Not gonna let you nerf my mechs this time.

[Marchant Consadine]

ELO is a fundamental problem with this tournament. If your ELO is high it's much more difficult to get the perfect matches. Looking at the scoreboard I see you need 2000 score to be near top. That's 200 per game which means for example: win (20), survive(20), 4 kills (80), 4 assists (40) and 600 damage (40). If your own team is even remotely as competent as you are, you simply can't do that 10 times in a weekend. Top scorer overal has nearly 2300 now, which is 230 points on average. That would mean 6 kills, 2 assists and 750 damage. Not impossible, but for 10 games in one weekend against your own level players? Easy solution is to create an alt and play with noobs where you'll just own everyone (not saying this is necessarily what the leaders have done, maybe you guys just have upped your game lately a lot and the ELO hasn't kept up; still it's an ELO problem).

Suggestion for the future tournaments. Up the ELO of everyone who opts in to maximum for the duration of the tournament. This way the participants would be playing against the best (and each other) which would make this much more balanced.

[bruyeria]

I am not sure what is happening, but I opted in yesterday, no problems. but today my score is not updating at all....... and i have had some pretty good games.
