you explained it perfectly. Wish you were my math teacher. Thanks!

Just like when you're trying to figure out to say a word, you can sound out the math problem and, for a lot of people, it makes it a lot easier.

This is possibly the single, most accurate and most useful information or reply i have witnessed on this forum since the beginning of beta.

TL;DR. thanks, you're awesome.

You really should have checked on two things before starting play today. One is what a timezone is, and the other is the time the event starts...

I've been getting 80-130 points a game, still haven't gotten anything.

That is my question... where are these treat buttons?

Haha, 5 MC, not sure if that's a trick or a treat?

I'd think any amount of MC would be a treat. Can't beat what amounts to free real world cash even if it is just a nickel.

Score formula: (kills) + (kill_assists × 2) + (spot_assist × 2) + ((damage - friendlyfire_damage) ÷ 15) + (cbills_earned ÷ 10000) + (xp_earned ÷ 100)

easy questions ...
Is the cbills and xp used the end of match totals? or subtotals?
Is the rounding always up? or up for >.5 and down for <.5? or up for cbills/xp and down for ff?

Thanks!

Confirming it's match totals. I screencapped my results from the end of my third match this morning, which included a mech bonus for a Clan Prime variant and a first-victory-of-the-day XP bonus. When I arithmatic'd it into the score formula (with the friendly fire penalty an unknown amount, and left out), I got a result of 70. When that match showed up on the tournament page, it was listed as 69, so my math must have been pretty okay.

So dust off those hero and champ mechs you haven't played today and earn their first victory of the day, 'cause it'll pay off!

This was on a match score of 96, so anyone who is trying to data mine if a higher score = greater value prizes can use that as a stat.

This sounds like a dumb question, but it's not...

It this based on the C-bills and XP gains BEFORE factoring in premium time and chassis bonuses (hero/champion)?

It is relatively important to know this...

It is based on cbills and xp after premium and hero/champ bonuses.
So you can cry about Pay to Win a Treat a bit...

Or not, because 30 points is very, very easy.

1 kill, 2 assists, 79 dmg (sic!), 180 000 cbills, 920 xp = 37 points - that what i got in challenge page.

same without bonuses (minus 80 000 cbills ans 310 gxp) = 26 points.

Haven't got to play yet because I'm at work. But I'm loving what I'm hearing from my friends who are playing right now.

PGI... Can you guys please keep doing events like this? A Christmas event like this would be awesome! Maybe even super special "Santa sized" Bag prizes? You know a rare but possible free mech . Or at least paint or single mech camos?

[Eternal Hunter]

Great event!

But would be nice to know what min and max values we can get from the bag, in reference to cbills, gxp and mc....

Generally not a good idea to stare at anything in a dragon, but yeah, direwolves especially.
