Fun compo. The Shadow Hawk is a tough tier. After my first 10 games i'm placed 253 with a score of 1499

Less than $100 in total prizes is a little weak though Piranha. I think prizes ranging from 300 MC to 5000 MC for the top ten players would be within reason.

I think future compo's would benefit from a rule change. A players FIRST 10 games only. This could promote players trying out loads of different mechs instead of doing 200 matches in 1 mech. Doing the compo's monthly would be cool.

At this point if I dont score at least 900 damage in a match with multiple kills, a win, and almost all the assists it wont add to my score. Tomorrow I'll take a real shot at getting 10. Shady is a TOUGH bracket.

Yea, I am right on your heels as well. I think I'll be happy to finish in the top 20 though. SDH bracket is just brutal. Only the Assault bracket is tougher (but with more firepower to get there)

I've seen some of the top guys in Assault (running ACs and PPC), but it depends on what your build is for. I run my SDH has a light hunter, so I am running mostly conquest (SSRMS, MGs and LL).

I like the Tournament, its brought out a lot of players and that's a good thing. I am getting stomped sometimes, but also doing some stomping sometimes. ELO and matchmaker seems to work much better when it has a larger pool of players to work with (which should be obvious).

I hope that the next tournament that PGI does encourages team-play. I think that might encourage some players to work better as a team and I think that would be a good thing too. I am hoping that PGI will notice that many people are not playing in groups much because the game currently favours individual play over group drops. That's not to say that teamwork works very well in matches, but the individual rewards should be increased for any kind of action that benefits the group over and individual. I know there are some rewards put in, but more, or an increase of c-bills and XP for teamwork would help a great deal.

Anyway, nice tourney. Have fun all.

So far today I'm averaging 500 damage and around 5-6 combined kills/assists per match... with Dual AC/2 and dual ML. No consumable strikes.

When we win, I get 10-12 combined kills/assists... when we lose, I get a kill or assist for every dead enemy Mech. Like I said, I don't know how, but I am mopping up today with the AC/2x2.

Hmmmm ... must have missed you on the Leader Boards, PP. What mech are you running?

MVP award goes to you in this one Bushrat.


Talk about close call... Muahahahaha....

[kesuga7]

tourney rules are a bit odd considering medium mechs


Capping /Objectives is discouraged because damaging enemies is what matters most

Destroying as few components as possible is also penalized due to spreading damage giving you more damage and destroyed componets - more score

the grind D:

It was a super close call, BUT.... you are too modest. I did not have a good match really, just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Cheers,

Current rank 140 with brand new cents...guess that's it for me. Don't think i'll do a lot better with my mastered shds, not that great a pilot.

Competition has highlighted balance issues with air strikes - i.e. when you are seeing them constantly every game something is not right.

[Roburn Bliss]

Can anyone in the top 20 let me know how many matches you have done?

Oh yeah, MC prizes are way down. Weird.

Thanks for reposting that link. It had my old score from when I did one drop in my Cicada to see how many people were in it.

With 34 points, I was 545 place. This time around, I check after my second drop and was 600 something place with 200 some odd points.

At least in the cicada department, more people are participating then last time.
