140 points with this scoring system is not that hard if you aren't getting ROFLstomped regularly.

Minimum of 60 matches to get the top prize? And the prizes are only cockpit items? And it has to be in group queue?

I agree. What a lame weekend challenge, especially follow up that absolutely amazing challenge we had last weekend. What is worse is that I am a solo player so what about me? what is my SOLO challenge for the weekend? I have invested over $500 in this game so I would kind of, sort of like to be able to participate and earn a Warhorn this weekend as well....without having to make friends.

"We want to see the effect of tonnage limits VS Weight Class limits has on player behavior and match balance."


That is not a sentence. I'm not even sure what it is trying to say, and I correct bad writing for a living.

Match Score is the thing on the post-Morten page, right?

I'd rather go deaf first. Mute all warhorns! :P


That gives me an idea. I want a module that doubles warhorn sound intensity, and another module that quadruples it's range. :lol:

PGI, get on it. I am willing to pay good cash for such modules.

And of course grinding for a TimberGod.


Over 3 days, and nearly every win should get you the 140 points, it should go by fairly easily. I wouldn't do that in a single sitting, though.

That would be a little extreme.

Hell NO.

I'll keep working in my personal goldmine for c-billz. (farming puggies is fun)

Why isn't there an opt in / out button in page. Opt in automatically groups you until you opt out.

It amounts to a "community event", but it's really a challenge.

The match score is not that high, given the scoring system.

You need 7 assists to collect the point... or 6 assists, 300 damage. It's even easier if you spot, with TAG or not. For every spotting bonus, you need 1 less assist. If anything, this shouldn't be hard outside of major roflstomps. Unfortunately, 2 kills = 1 assist, but if you are doing spotting bonuses, this is irrelevant.


I dont get that high a match score when I get games over 1k

I'll be playing even if there was no tournament, and free stuff of any kind is cool.

Needing a 140 match score to even get a single point (of 60 for the top item) pretty much means I can ignore this because I won't be getting anything anyway.

What was wrong with the previous event only needing a score of 30?


timberwolf time, and those matches come easily.
which adds the question, why is a group of 2 able to take 200tons, this will msotlikely cause people to use grps of 2 or 3. the 2grp limit should be like 145t.

Group Size: 2
Tonnage Limit: 200

WAT??

6 groups of 2 people = 1200 tons?

How does that work?
