I like these events and will participate for the cbills. Glad PGI does events like these. I am still going to continue suggesting an improvement in scoring though.

As I said before, in the long term I think they should migrate to a match score with a bonus for the win, but in the meantime they could make a simple adjustment to have a more equal scoring system.

Kills are less than assist to take people that just bum rush and not use any sort of strategy out of the game. Or would you like people mech blocking you for every shot attempt? It's hard enough to deal with crap pugs every match.

Again since you must have missed it.

Kill securing was only an issue when kills where worth more than assist. If they made them equal it would not cause any more problem than in a normal game since there would no incentive to kill vs assist. Both rewarded with scoring equally does not overly score/ encourage one over the other.

Speaking of bum rushing. Assist scoring like this leads to people going Leroy to splash all the enemy with lasers then die miserably. Rushing without a strategy is hardly exclusive to the previous scoring when kills where scored higher than assist.

Are you in a unit? I don't think you get a choice in that case. You are what your leader is.

I am, I didn't know that took effect yet. I thought that was for CW?

There will be again a lot of traffic this weekend...

Don't know if it's taken effect yet or not, but it's the only reason I can think of that you aren't able to change it.

I am a leader of a unit and cant change it as well, so... (I mean here on forum it is changed, but in my profile its not. Perhaps it will change when the tourney starts?)

If your finding you cant change your faction write support a note with what faction you want it changed to, I did just that 2 days ago around 6pm Pacific and at 6:05 I got a email saying it was done.

If my unit is Merc but my profile is Jade Falcon I will be scored where?

[Sandro742]

probably Merc

[mp00]

One thing I do like is the addition again of scores listed and that TEAM DAMAGE is actually showed! While there is no tourney event or challenge that will appease everyone the little things added each time really improve the experience.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Man, only in an event like this am I disappointed in a 4 kill, 5 assist match. I just don't have it in me to stop shooting to avoid getting kills. Feels so wrong, so I keep wrecking faces, "robbing" myself of 40 points.

I really hope Russ and co. rethink the formula for next time. Make kills and assists 20 points each.

edit; it is nice to see matches where I only dealt 1 point of team damage. That feels good.

I read:

Players who opt in can earn 100,000 C-bills per match when they score above 130 points.

Should it read:

Players who opt in will earn 100,000 C-bills per match when they score above 130 points.

???

My scoring seems to have stopped working.


Anyone else has that issue?

Edit: Only IS games count, dooh!

Quit running clan mechs and you will start scoring again.

[lurknmerc14]

Wow can anyone explain why I'm ghost Bear have ghost bear next to my name and in game yet you're system put me in merc core and I can't get anything now unless I play IS mechs which I don't own...... go figure another event I can't take part in.

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

Only victories count again,only thing this promotes is utter frustration/bad blood/horrible language in the chat and will cost some active players during the weekend,maybe even permanently.
MAKE SOMETHING LIKE +30 POINTS FOR WIN FOR THE NEXT TOURNEY AND MAKE THE LOSSES COUNT TOO

[Mercer Skye]

So, yet another event that while I'm grateful they even run events, is just not promoting a healthy level of play.

100 matches, that haveto qualify as well in order to make the max cbill payout, let alone what is needed if someone intends to grind the top spot for their chosen faction/affiliation.

Like I said, I'm grateful that they even run events, but I think they need to step back and take a harder look on just how much time they're looking to make people spend playing. You start pushing for too much grind, especially with the grind that CW is likely to bring, you're looking to burn a lot of people out on the game, really quickly.

[Verkhne]

hooray! I am in the event. I guess playing IS mechs though. PGI needs to work out a few bugs for these events







(green budgie has no effect....)

Nice job,PGI.
I bet it was hard to make the worst event formula this far, but you succeeded. My congradulations.

I am curious about that as well.

Seriously now, even if you aren't in the tournament, its likely that most of your team is... do not ruin our chances because you don't care... (yes, I lost a qualifying match because some guy convinced a few others to cap base, because and I will almost quote him, "F the tournament")
