And there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. But it is good to see PGI actually promoting the primary objectives of Assault and Conquest by doubling the point values for the upcoming Challenge. But I'm sure there will be plenty of players doing the usual "Capwarrior" QQing. And I shall enjoy the tears.

Hmm, I have 23 empty 'Mechs bays, little interest in Clanners and all the Shadow Hawks I need, curious if anything else will be on sale.

At least its a non-individual tournament rather than a challenge and is both solo and group queue, so fairly benign effect on play as opposed to LURM-time of the other recent challenges and tournaments.

What challenge are you talking about? If you're talking about last weekend's challenge... well...

As you play, each match adds points to the Primary Objective score total, using the following values:

• Assault
  
  • Primary Objective: Capture the enemy base - 20 points (per match).
    
  • Secondary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 10 points.
    
  • Draw - 5 points.
• Conquest
  
  • Primary Objective: Acquire the maximum resource points - 20 points.
    
  • Secondary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 10 points.
    
  • Draw - 5 points.
• Skirmish
  
  • Primary Objective: Destroy the enemy team - 15 points.
    
  • Draw - 5 points.

Looks good, though I didn't see an announcement or anything on the main page of the website. It's great if people actually link to stuff being referenced so it isn't a mystery to all.

It looks like it. I guess a massive grind for pricing is the goal. MUST GET IT HALF OFF!!!

Because the challanges always get injected one day ahead. So if you know where to look for them you can find them "early".
Announcment will come as soon as PGI is back in the office.
Its pretty early in the Morning there at the Moment, you know.

[Elizander]

Well it would only take 22,500 matches that win via objective or 45,000 matches that win via secondary objective.

Seems like it's a shoo-in unless our numbers are really, really low.

I'd extend it up exponentially to 75% past 50% for the extra effort.

Because compared to pretty much ANY other mode of communication it is ineffective in reaching people. Sorry to say but it is the hard truth.

I could ofc flip that question and ask why YOU do not use any more efficient mode of communication then this here fourm. =P

No interest in this other than honing my Light Mech's Capping skillz.

How is a secondary source (twitter) better at disseminating MW:O info than the OFFICIAL site? Secondary sites should NEVER be the go-to for getting "the scoop". Ever!

5 less points a match, that's why. Skirmish matches will not be able to keep up with base rushing assault games for points vs time.

Edit: Assuming anyone cares enough to pick gamemodes in this challenge.

But a skirmish match is over in 4 minutes, while it takes forever to finish the other two modes.

It is a tournament.

No link required since all tournaments are visible via the same URL (which has already been posted).
