Need to do administrative tasks for my Unit (Clan) have no clan mechs because PGI restricts mechs based on who throws endless amounts of money at them. Not based upon people who have already paid more than enough for this game.

So thanks for bending me over once again PGI. F you very much.
EDIT:
You're honestly going to tell me this doesn't count Short sighted, ignorant stupidity. Well done again PGI

You could always use the clan trial mechs if you don't have enough cbills for the clan mechs yet. Most of the initial wave are available now.......

did you killed them or just finished them?


My damage was 580 so some luck (or bad luck given the event) in geting the last shot but nothing too strange either.

It was a dual gauss JGR-DD, that explains it I guess.

Great... another even that screws over anyone who joined a unit based off who was in it, not which side had the optimized metabuilds that makes this event even worth trying.

Guys is it ok:
12 kills 0 assists 1600 dmg = 226 pts
0 kills 12 assists 600 dmg = 280pts

RLY?! It mean that its better to hit all enemy for some instead **** whole enemy team alone!!!!

280 pts = 12 kills 0 assists 3900 (!!!) dmg.... come on ....

P.S. a lot of events are great, top10 matches system is great but still - not every weekend plz :P

Lots of matches ... only 2 Broke the 130 point score so far. PGI your scoring system is wayyyyyy too unbalanced.

That explains.

10 suicides work. No wonder I see so many doing just that.

The formula to determine points is ********. One of the worst they've ever done. It actively punishes you for being an effective player and putting down enemies quickly.

I literally only opted in so I can get the free Cbill bonuses from playing. The "challenge" itself is a waste of time, and will only be won by people gaming the system just getting assists on 12 mechs and doing as much pointless damage as they can from afar without killing a mech.

Most stupid score formula for a ladder challenge... everything suggested here is better than this.

Don't you guys at PGI think about the incentives from such formula and the consequences for the game given that many/most people do everything to achive high scores???

If I use only certain mechs and stick to certain tactics I can reliably get the points, as long as we don't get whipped out.

CDA-3M with ER-LL. Get to a high point with much overview and sniper away.

Damage based tournament is boring and makes gameplay worse, for the number of campy games folds at least three times. The number of LRM is thrice as many too. Please change the tournament rules or I'd rather having none of these at all.

100k per match that qualified. 10m maximum earnings.

So that's a 100 matches for C Bills, as opposed to 60 for the warhorn last go.

Seems a bit out of scale.


The difference being the warhorn was a item you have to pay real money to buy normally and C-Bills are just in game currency for mechs, weapons and modules.

I read:

Should it read:

???

I guess you need to get qualifying WINS to get the cbills. Apparently it is can as seen here:

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...

Not the reason for the TOURNAMENT, as an added bonus, if you do well, you get some extra cbills, that is a gift not a grind... again the grind to the top spot is for the TOURNAMENT, remember folks this is an active tournament, with all competitive natures going full boat

If it bothers you that much, perhaps you shouldn't play the modes with bases on them.

I asked for no responses because that was me venting, so, in order, thanks Bilbo, I know that,m at least you weren't a ^$^%#
Mitsuragi... too true... which brings us to: MechWarrior Buddah... you do that dude, you do that, but don't expect any assistance in game from me or mine as we now consider you an enemy and I work against mine enemies at all costs...

So, next time I ask that my post not be responded to, please do not respond to it, as it most likely has no need for a response... Bilbo, Mitsuragi, I appreciate the honesty and not abusive attitude
