Without Flaming or naming.. eaters win... :-(

Thank you.

I think it is more a hit registration issue, hits not hitting, I watched a guy just get roasted, over and over again, point blank fire, mech after mech, and he would not, could not, go down. [edit: and not a spider, it was a orion or something like that...]

The bunny hoppers are out, too, taking advantage of the borked HSR. [edit: although there was one guy doing some excellent DFA'ing, pretty impressive DFA too...but

Ah *HATES* rabbits.

Competition is a lot more fierce this time around. I'm having games that easily would have won me the tournament for Cicadas last time (instead of placing 3rd or 4th or whatever, I don't remember), but this time around they're not even close to being enough. Now, I can't even place in the top 10, there are just that many good Cicadas out there.

I dunno if being constantly curbed stomped by heavies and assaults has really honed people's Cicada skills but man, I'm VERY impressed by some of the scores I'm seeing put out by the little bugs.

Make us proud, whoever wins this!

How to check my score in this tournament?

[Wojtek76]

Yeah I agree with you, yesterday loss all my ammo one one mech and stand still. Looks like problem with hit box it's realated to server communication error. In this game was lot of lost connection?

Thanks, but I can see only the best players scores.
I want to how bad I'm how much I need to get to the top players.

[Wojtek76]

I just need to know how far away I'm from top pleyers.

what a rip,,took my wolverine to the tourney and it is not listed,,im out,,again ripped off,,bought the locust for its speed,,what they do,,give locust speed to thier fav mechs,,spider and jenner,,ripped off,,bought the wolverine to replace my raven,,what they do,,make the wolverine dependant on missiles with no ecm,,ripped off..and with a coupla shots the arms come off..my level of cheee and happiness had dimished

Jenner doesnt go 170. Not even close. And iirc the engine buff came slightly before PP hit

Wolverine matches cannon variants and has always been missile heavy. They do great when you don't load it full of Kraft macaroni and cheese auto aim magic missiles...but since thats what you're crying about wouldnt you rather have BAP than ECM?

You should see your own ranking at the bottom if the relevant list.

Bro, at the top log in and it will show an orange band at the bottom of each class you are competing in

Looks like this:



And yeah, shameless self promotion opportunity I dropped to 22nd while I slept but we'll have to see what I can do about that later

[Wojtek76]

Thanks

I don't get this part of the scoring:

+ (Damage Done - Team Damage) /15

e.g. + (396 - 3752) /15 = -224 (MINUS 224 points!)

That can't be right?

[Ironwithin]

Team damage = friendly fire = damage you did to your own team

[Pjwned]

Hopefully this highlights how much of a shaft most medium mechs (and variants) get when it comes to things like top speed and ridiculous proportions (read: trebuchets being as big as an atlas practically) and they get some attention because of it.

[Appogee]

I'm finding it's more of a ''Artillery and Air Strikes vs the World'' Tournament.

(Last match my team copped 8 Strikes within the first 4 and half minutes, and as a result, were all dead by the 5th minute.)

I guess 600+ points of damage from spending up on consumables inflates one's ranking considerably.

The bug, or hacking, that people are complaining about seems to combine with excessive amounts of armor allowed on light Mechs to make them virtually indestructible. Don't get me wrong, we all know they can be killed, but as a medium driver, good enough to hover in the teens and low 20's in the tourney ranks, I should be able to take out a Firestarter without the excessive firepower and time it takes now. I have turned with them and had them overheat in front of me, at which time I unload on their face with 2-3 ML, ERLL, 3-4 SSRM-2's and they power up and walk away. Meanwhile I am turning orange from their minor raking with their ML's or SL's. I have often hit with 4-5 volleys of 4xSSRM-2's, plus multiple ML/ERLL raking attacks and multiple full on ML/ERLL hits, to watch the little (censored) bounce away. Meanwhile I do the same with another medium or heavy, and even assaults and I would kill them in half the time. What gives? (Forgive me) I'm a little exasperated. They light Mechs, especially the Firestarter, are noticeably over powered and over armored. Atlases and Highlanders shouldn't have to be trying to run away from one or two light Mechs, which is often the case now, IMO.

[Corvus Antaka]

lots of jumpsniping, arty & air strikes. less TAG farming than expected

So far I'm at 82 for assaults just playing about 15-20 matches in a highlander since friday.

Meta is still king by a long shot.

Funny on the scoring fubar. wonder whats going on.

This is so fixed, gameplay matchups are always messed up, one sided matches, tonnage and firepower is not balanced, nevermind all the disconnects people are having due to gameplay issues. Suggest you put the time in to make the game more stable for everyone, that way there is an even playing field for everyone.

The ironic part is that if everybody does that, they get some pretty good points... but generally not the absolutely great points needed for the top 5. Har har!

It should be about this time that most players can statistically evaluate whether to continue trying (or at least, whether to switch to strategies that'd get some Duncan Fisher side-eye.)

[Sudden Reversal]

I opted OUT tyvm and will never participate in these waste of time challenges.

If this is to be a tournament of skill and luck, make it best of everyone's first 10 games.

It has the added benefit of training players in how to organise PUG's on the fly and create decent commanders, something this game is sorely lacking.

Think it through PGI.

arti damage is nice to have but it really comes down to kills and assists if you seriously want to get to the top 10.
If you want to top 2300 you basically discard every match where you made less than 4 kills and at least 5 assists. So yea, the more time you spend on playing the better chances you have on getting those games.

I would like to see my top 10 matches during the tournament. Seems like if those scores are being recorded that it wouldnt hurt if I was able to see them as well.
