[Angels Bane]

pgi might want to consider making these types of tournys weight, and or chassis specific. gonna be long wait times when everyone tries to bring an assault to the tourny.

I opted in thursday, but the progress bar hasn't shown up yet? It is working for others?

Please change the score formula to be more about damage than kills... i got tired of getting 700 dmg and 1 kill and seeing people getting 3 kills and half my damage on my same drop and topping the charts, last challenge it was really all about killstealing.

A 3 kill, 9 assist game might be a Top 15 finisher's #10 best game. Most of them are going to be 4 kills, 8 assists, 700+dmg or better.

Win it good for me!

The tourney has begun

[Thrudvangar]

go PGI just **** yourself with this ****!
everybody playing meta loadouts, especially those cataphract noobs are way to overpowered.

Matchmaker also sucks.. playing against 6 lights and all of them having arty and airstrike... now twice in a row against those ********.

this game tends more and more into one of those first person shooter i hate and all the wanna be
gangster childs wanna play.

Nerf meta loadouts! Allow only 2 of AC/PPC/LLasers per mech. Fix your damn matchmaker! Bring 3-3-3-3 and maybe then those tournament rankings will show who can play or not and who deserves the prices!

Also dont go for kills... you've implemented and archivement for it..... remember? its called "SERIOUSLY?"

so??

I'm so done, it's not even worth it for the stupid cockpit item. Faction tournament could basically be solved by a headcount of the 5 most popular builds in people's hangars. This isn't even fun anymore and I'm sorry I came back for your tournament, so people could compare E-Peen in identical highlander builds or one shot anything < 55 tons with their PPC/AC Alpha.

Or you can just bring a light and be one-shot at 800 meters, through your ECM, over and over again. Or, even get close, in a big assaults rear flank, where any of the other 5 metassaults on his team can just one shot you in crossfire.

Congrats on bringing more HGN's to the fight, house Steiner. I know you might even mix it up with a DDC or two, and possibly a Banshee that can barely walk under it's weight in AC/PPC.

[Flyby215]

I can't believe there's another Faction challenge without a serious AC/PPC nerf. I thought the number of #1-3 players from each faction running AC/PPC Dragonslayers/Highlanders/Cataphracts should have been proof enough that it was in need of some sort of nerf.

I mean, some people placed reasonably well with missile boats, not even #1 spots, just reasonably well, and missiles were nerfed...

A Cataphract pilot whined about the 140 or so combined missiles on our team, mostly 20 packs on non-meta Shadowhawks, after killing 4 people with Dual Gauss. The Entitlement of the meta players is sickening.

you're right. i made, once again made the mistake to opt in in this ****. if you dont play meta and dont play one of the few mechs that are OP with those loadouts, you're screwed.

[KingCobra]

Where is a Admin when you need one? I opted into this challenge before the deadline and it says sorry you have not opted in here is some advise PGI just make it where if players show up between the start and Finnish times of a challenge there automatically =(OPTED) in to said tournament. Well i guess I will bag game play for the weekend and go do the WarThunder Tanks challenge it is a automatic opt in and no BULLSHITT like MWO'S.

[Lan]

On a different note, the challenge is late in starting? As far as I can understand it, it should have been started a few hours ago but nothing is showing on the challenge page.

[Malleus011]

Say we've opted in and played a number of matches.

How do we know if we've finished the ten to get a hula girl? I don't see an indicator of the number of matches I've played since noon, an no accomplishment triggered after ten or so.
