Running a light mech is the easiest way to get the bonus C-Bills. 11 assists and a win will do it. Just make sure you tickle everything. Missile boats might also be a good way to rack up assists.

I'm having an issue, i know i made more than 130 pts in one match but it doesn't seem to count it... It's been 2hs since that match so it's not the refresh time... anyone with similar issues?

Is this correct because the formula for calculating ranking gives you 20pts for a win but the formula for getting 130 in a match for cbills does not include the winsx20 or I read it wrong.

SPECIAL AWARDS!
Players who opt in can earn 500,000 C-bills per victory when they score above 130 point. The maximum C-bills a player can earn for this event are 10,000,000.
Match points special formula:
(Kills × 20) + (Kill Assist × 10) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)
C-bills are injected to accounts after the event ends.

It is still viable because with 11 Assists you got yourself 110 Points. Now you only need to do 300 dmg which shouldn't be a problem. I am at 15 Wins and almost all of them where brought by my Jenner or my Raven.

topic: I don't like this challenge to be honest. It brings the worst out of people. Giving points for Narcs/Tag oder UAV assists wouldn't have hurt. The lights are dying out, those challenges are not helping. Nonetheless, the c-bills I get are great. I don't think I would have played this much this weekend if it wasn't for them. Having a goal helps a lot. Hope to see more of that in the future.

Unfortunate pro-tip: Use Arty/Airstrike in inflate your damage score.

Warning: Friendly Fire Damage does hurt your final score.

Yeah bonuses for spotting/narc/tag/uav would help lights out. I was hoping to level out my commandos and master my spider5k this weekend but 300pt rounds in those are a little hard to come by.

I will say I increased my back armor after the first few matches last night. Seriously. Usually only run 6-8 but I upped it to 10 all across.

You can guess why.

If you didn't need to also win the match, that'd be a great strategy.

Probably not a bad idea

Ok then it's definetly not working right, because as far as I understand the rules your score from losses should count for the leaderboard as well.

Just had posted it above yours, but here is the line from the top again:
- Only your best 10 matches that are victories in each Faction/Class over the course of the event will be counted

DevilCrayon, on 04 October 2014 - 12:00 PM, said:

I'm curious about what counts as a "valid match" also. I'm currently showing scores above 130 in all IS mech catagories, but it still only says 3 valid wins. I'm pretty sure there were other wins in there that below my current top scores, also.

Remember the formular for the leaderboard has 20 points per win.

• Score formula: (Kills × 20) + (Kill Assist × 10) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15) + (Wins × 20)

The formular for the bonus 500k does NOT include 20 points per win, but you still need to win the matches.

• Score formula: (Kills × 20) + (Kill Assist × 10) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)

[Almeras]

the win requirement is frustrating as hell in the solo queue because the win is determined by the rest of your team and 50/50 win loss doesn't exist for me my longest stretch was 16 games no wins with top scores I couldn't of carried harder..

[Sadist Cain]

Rank 37 and On 9 Million C-bills in bonuses so far couple more matches and I've hit the limit lol it's like the land of milk and honey back in closed beta

Did manage to scrap for 3rd at one point however the ladyfriend is back from uni... I'm torn between two loves here.

Ah! That explains it. The ones that didn't seem to be counted were in the 140-150 range.

[Ursus_Spiritus]

The "WIN" is the underlying caveat here as yeah... when you are on the losing team 8 of 10 matches...because people can't work together and are selfish as well as inconsiderate?

[CN9 ACE PILOT]

Been having a hard time with it. The amount of people shooting me on my back plate has been very high to the point of stressing.

I'll be at one spot shooting for a while and a teammate would walk up crit my back plate down to internal yellow, as if telling me "It's my spot now." shortening my life span to a ridiculous extent.

I used to be one of the first to run in when some one asked for a charge. But now i don't even bother; Half the bullets will hit the enemy and the other half straight on my back to get me out of the way to secure the kill.

[Sigilum Sanctum]

I just got out of a great qualifying match for the tournament. Too bad a Boom Jager managed to one shot me, when I had almost max armor, in my Misery. Wasn't a headshot either so I'm kind of confused as to what happened.

The perpetual look Stalkers have of their cockpits looking like they're sensing bullshit just got worse on my Misery.

[Triforceelf]

I hope ya'll bought Embers if you plan to run IS lights. Because any other mech is gonna be a rough run.

I am not running an Ember, and I think I am doing just fine...

Suppose the next event had us getting points based on how many of our team was still standing. I wonder if we'd see a behavioral shift then.

I do wish there was something...I took a break to cool off, tried again. 5ish Mins into the match an Enemy Summoner turns around and is ~200m from me, so i alpha into his torso, not a moment after that; a friendly(ornotsofriendly) DireWolf alphas straight into my back, blowing off my right arm and internals heavily damaged, combined with the Summoners retaliation i go down in flames, killed by enemy fire.

Guess i'll just sit this one out.
