Loving this challenge so far, but dont think i will be able to get the warhorn (though it would be cool if i could), the hamster is where i am shooting for right now since i dont play much over weekends. Would love to see some challenges that run from Mon -Thur ocassionaly.....PGI??? Please!!!

11 points in 15 games, so to get 60 points would be about 85-90 games? Huh, I may not even get all the way to hammy...

I am really starting to hate these events. When there are none, I get matches quickly and win more often than lose.
When contests/events run, I wait forever and lose more than win. Ten matches just now and not a single double.

140 is NOT the match score you see on your end of rounds screen. It is a totally different formula.

What is the match score again?

This event is a huge pita to calculate tonnage as people come and go from the group. I think I'm already done doing this in a large group, and am just going to game the system so I don't see a red x on my challenges page.

It would help if when in a group, it displayed the teams tonnage so that you can actually see if you are over or under quickly

>Makes Tonnage limit tournament
>Doesn't display group tonnage in team social tab

It's 5 lines of code and a SQL database, come on PGI, really?

Tonnes of BULLSHIT queue challenge.

Ping gone from 280ms up to 330ms AGAIN... as per EVERY event.
Hitreg is trash.
Damage migration everywhere.

GG. GG low ping. GG HSR. You win.


Just another tourney for yanks to enjoy.

Will PGI be sharing the data with the playerbase so we can see what this weekends event helped prove/disprove?

To be honest i preferred the scoring concept from the Halloween event. And i think it would help alleviate some of the frustration and bitterness. Once or twice tonight i messed up and got myself killed through stupidity, but in a number of matches I managed 1-2 kills and 2 or so assists ~200-400dmg(raven 4x) and my team gets stomped 4-12. Leaves myself and others in the same situation with scores too low to qualify. Also once again the scoring matrix actively encourages LRM death matches. Ive nothing against the occasional LRM boat on a team but I cant help but think that your results are going to be skewed if this is a serious attempt at judging tonnage restricted drops to tweak CW.

TL:DR. Please consider using the same scoring as you did during Halloween event. Perhaps adjust upwards from 30 points to 40 or some such rewarding good play not simply who can narc/tag and lrm the other team to death.

So pretty much winning team gets the points only, unless its close. You want us to test a set of weights but you will only reward approx half the participants PGI? glad we got 4 days to do this...

Great challenge once again...let's rock now !

"....huge pita to calculate tonnage..."

Seriously? These aren't hard numbers fellas. My 9 year old can add this up in about 5 seconds. Just how lazy are your brains?

In other news.....after a night I can say that we had more good matches than bad....MUCH faster searches....and no one that I play with will get anywhere near 60 matches over 140 points. We have lives to live. The goal is too high, the rewards a little lackluster. But let's all keep in mind that they are FREE rewards. No one has to do anything they don't want to. So if you have all weekend to play, you might get something for free. How is it possible that people complain about the hard to get FREE stuff?

As for me, its strange to organaize team-bases tournaments when there is no way to gather team IN-GAME.... no chat there, except in match, and no voice... Make this work 1st and then start team-based challenges!..

Nope. Plenty of times my team has lost, but our scores have qualified. In fact, I only had one match in 17 that didn't qualify, and that was a complete 0-12 stomp.

[Dran Dragore]

*bump* still searching for some teammates for this challenge...

[Mordin Ashe]

Ok, I think I have to reealuave this challenge. It is not fun. If PGI wants people to change their Mech selection for 5 days, fine by me, but the rewards should reflect that. What we are offered is nothing compared to how much must be done to get it. Perhaps one or two more rewards, pretty please?

This is not a fun challenge. Worse than that, it's a long grind for items that aren't worth any level of headache, let alone a weekend's worth.
