I couldn't find the opt-in page on Wednesday, and didn't make it online on Thursday. Oh well, looks like I've missed my chance.

Good hunting everyone.

The only thing that would make this more interesting. If we were forced to pilot only mechs of the faction.

They should have a "Hardcore" tournament version that uses only stock configurations from each faction.

I'm not a fan of the scoring format. They really should have split the scoring into separate weight classes, so you're not forced into playing Assaults to actually get a chance.

They really ought to have made it best 3 rounds of each class. So it takes your best 3 rounds as a light, medium, heavy, and assault, and adds those together for your score. Have it show your top scores for each weight class on the tourney page so you can see where you need improvement.

:rolleyes:

But seriously, i'm used to it. The only difference is that this is the rare tourney that I'm in no rush to participate in (already opted in).

Yawn..

More cockpit bling for more grind. Nope not today PGI.

Tell me when oh when will the "Loyalty Bonus" points be effective from FACTION medallions and or Phoenix Mechs be available in game.. You know the things you sold us half a year ago.

Don't call this a faction competition it is nothing of the sort.

Oof, I got hit by the "opt in cutoff" as well. Why wouldn't you want people who log on before the tournament ends to be able to opt in and at least participate?

Also, what the hell happened to the rewards? I got 5000 MC from the first Heavy vs. The World tournament a year ago. Why is PGI being so stingy these days?

Less than a 40 hour window to opt in from the time it was first announced. Is this intended only for players who live and breathe this game?
Unhappy about how this was done.

You weren't noticing this before? They intentionally "split" the pool of MC you are getting. Instead of just having a "fixed number" as mechs/options increase, they have "been generous" to give MC for 2nd place through 5th place (runner ups). "Generous" is being "too nice" a world to express it.

I dunno felt like there was far more brawling in the last tourny.
Probably due non restriction to weight class.

Probably because they encouraged people to play mediums and LRMs hadn't been improved yet.
