Wondering why PGI doesn't limit this type of challenge to the player's first 20 matches or something, so it's not an entire weekend of non-role based play.

Because the point of the challenge is to get as many people playing as possible, for the whole weekend. They don't want to give you free stuff, they use that to get you to play their game so you maybe spent some money on it.

Also possible it's to raise the active player count to show their investors some nice, juicy numbers. Who knows... as long as it's fun, who cares?

Heya everyone,

Quick question. Never really paid attention to these tournaments much, being I'm prolly a below average pilot. So the question is when they say team damage, is that the damage you cause to your own team or the overall damage your team takes?

Your own, but even if it was team damage, you don't want to shoot your team as it would contribute.

Why in god's name did you guys make "damage done" a part of the equation again? All that does in promote the use of annoying raw damage meta-builds and LRM boating... What you did with the "Three Days of Challenges" was perfect and didn't make the game a dammed nightmare to play...

Raw damage is back? Guess I will have to bring out the Atlas and my laser Thunderbolt (both of which any good Lyran mechwarrior should have).

Think I will find some people who play groups this weekend.

[The Flying Gecko]

Both AMS Modules
ECM

LRM whores everywhere

I'm rockin' in my Kit Fox so hard

Good luck to my fellow locust pilots! While I'm a little sad I won't be able to participate beyond the first night, I hope you all have a blast trying to climb the leaderboards, and may you litter the ground with the broken bodies of many heavier mechs (including many Atlai and Dire Whales).

Be swift,
Be lethal,
Be a Locust!
(Oh, and try not to get oneshot! )

Now the locust leaderboard.. ..wow, have to get a tonne of kills to do alright there, not easy in such a fragile little bubba

[Kabum]

Any bet on which chassis will get the higher points?

[Motörhead]

Dire Wolf ofc

StrormCrow will likely have high score too, because anyone is using it since the c-bills release, and if a good pilot gets a streak of lucky matches...

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

what does (Wins x 20) mean?! is it the "you have won one roundx20 = 20 points?!

Pretty much. If you had a case of the "dropsies" (general DC issues), and manage to "win" those matches, you have a bare minimum score of 200 after 10 wins (minus friendly fire damage).

You can edit the "Notice: leaderboards are delayed by 15 minutes." to a more appropriate 45-60 minutes. Im on my ninth game and it wont update with the eight/ninth ive had, ive been waiting even since because i was keeping stats of everything to get an idea of how it all worked. Note that i have seen people change Rank indicating they update but not me.

Oh yeah the other players are updating. Well im gona play and see if the next game updates both games. I was watching for my uptade 8 when i finished my 9th game so that means 2 games have not yet updated.

I want to add that the stats for the mech i am using is updating just not the challenge.

ok it updated the eight, well anyways, i took all those stats to calculate myself and see how much team damage id did among other things(when i capped or if i improved) and even calculating my first match with 1 team damage i dont come up with as much as i got.
