hey do ties count as a win or a lose? or do you multiply by 15?

I believe you're simply screwed out of the points.

I'm a bit confused. The tournament isn't over yet is it?

Also on the tournament page first it says
"FRIDAY FEB 28 10:00:00 AM (PDT)
SUNDAY MAR 2 11:59:59 PM (PDT)"

and then "From Friday February 28 at 10:00am PST until Sunday March 2 at 11:59pm PST" and now I read from this topic it ended 23:59 GMT

edit. fixed mess

Four hours of grinding and I was able to get up to 36th place in my Cent for a while. Wish I'd had a little more time, but I'm glad to have gotten that close for only playing four hours.

Now to wait for another Heavies tournament. I wanna take a swing at the Cataphract board.

[Deathlike]

There's 7 more hours to go, so... good luck.

[xMintaka]

I wonder, is there going to be anywhere we can see how many people in each category competed (and completed ten matches).

The answer will probably be no, but it's worth a shot. Coming in the top 200 would make be awesome, but if only 300 people took part and only 200 of those completed 10 matches, it's a bit less so.

I mean, I dropped once in a Trebuchet and I'm 336th. Guess they're really unpopular...

[kesuga7]

im not sure if such grind of time and my eyes hurting/computer overheating/Low FPS all day is worth 1.50$

but damed ******* shit deathlike im gonna give those 7 hours a try ( or maybe i can't read lol)

even if it does require you to play a certain playstyle/loadout to have a higher chance of success

Stupid servers completely screwed up my last match, when I was completely owning the other team almost single handedly. That is absolutely positively infuriating.

They are. You simply have to be lucky and work harder. I need to crack 2k points to have a chance...

I dropped twice with assault last night and I'm at 2,198, they're more popular My wild guess is that of those 2198 players 1500 or more completed 10 matches.

6 more hours too go it was a great tournament.
Had to stop the grind since I had work in the morning in my timezone.

Too bad there is something dubious happening in the lights leader board.
There is a certain ranker that I strangely have not come across in any of my matches and I played... A lot of matches. (another ranker also gave me the same feedback)

I wasn't trying to go for Treb's, not really. My focus has been my Cicada's with SHD's secondary.

Goes to show how many are in the SHD leaderboard. I have something like 1500 in those and I'm near 500th.

Edit: 1437 in SHD's (I consider that okay, had three great games and the rest were average) which puts me at 426.

1535 puts me at 169 in Cicada's.


Rubbish, you say? Good for me, I say.

The fact that the top Light, Heavy and SHD scores are only 100 less than Assault goes to show a lot. I'd guess most of those lights are in Jenners or Firestarters, while the Assaults are obviously in MetaLanders or Victors. That leaves Heavies... CTF-3D for days?

Yeah, have around 1850 Points (somewhere n the top 200 ranking) with several matches with 4 to 5 Kills, 5 to 6 Assists and 400 to 500 damage in my SHD(P).
Had some good fun matches and increased my C-.Bills to 80 millions so far so nice.

I feel i saw some damage exploiting and a few times "bounty hunting" of contestants also but that will obviously happen bcs the possible will allways happen...

Thats the difference between Winners and Champions - Champs do it the real way.

Have Fun and be Champs Guys!



PS: TESO is not really great, maybe they improve, maybe they continue suck, but imho its the weaknesses of Skyrim merged with the weaknesses of a MMORPG that has nothing but the TES Background to impress.

TES:O was always going to suck for fans of the single-player games. They butchered the lore with an almost obscene disregard for the long time fanbase.

Hell, I've been with the series since Daggerfall and the couple of hours I played of the beta put me off it entirely. No way in Coldharbour will I pay to play the game. If it was F2P, then maybe. But now? Nope, nope and more nope.


To make this post on topic:

Well, if I can stay in the top 150 for Cicada's, I'll be happy. Just broke into it, and still playing for a few hours yet.

[Mainhunter]

I see more assaults playing than meds.... whats the point? I wonder what the intention is behind: "Hey, there is a med vs world tournament - lets piss the party off and spawn cheese build assaults".

The point is to provide an incentive for people to perhaps purchase a medium chassis for the competition, so they can attempt to climb multiple ladders. It's harmless, clever fun.

I hoped to break into 2000 Points as i have done in the past with weaker matches but i have played the matches i wanted to play and achieved my C-Bill goal (completing 80 Million C-Bills).

And now, after TESO does not catch me, i am back to EU IV (Ironman Mode) trying to make East Frisia at least once in history a World Dominating Power (But EU IV combat sucks way - its a ******* Action Game now instead of Grand Strategy in that regard in a sadly bad way) and my savegame broke so i have to restart.
