Ugh, all the LRM spam!

It'd be nice if there was a tourney where you had to use specific weapon types. Let's say PGI had a tourney and called it "Laser Tag!" and only matches where you used lasers would count.

...it'd sure be a nice change of pace from all these LRM-dominated tournaments.

Yet again. House Davion is the redheaded step child of the MWO world.

[lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]

Regardless this is the most I've ever seen one legged, armless, zombie mechs limping around like it's "Mech War Z" and no one wants to finish off the enemies because it'll screw their score.

I mean seriously, this is the first time I've ever played where I thought, "DAMMIT, I ACCIDENTALLY KILLED AN ENEMY!"

How. Screwed. Up. Is. That?

The C-bills are nice and very appreciated, and it's also appreciated that the threshold for some cockpit items are set to top 50 pilots per faction.

But with all due respect, I think that kills and assists should have been set the same, and then level the playing field somehow between the classes of mechs so that each class gets a fair shake at rewards by doing what they're supposed to be doing.

I want to see FLAMER FUN FRIDAY. You get points for how long you shut enemy mechs down by flamers, and you get points taken away for how long YOU are shut down for overheating.

There you go, PGI. Endorsed by THE Double-Aught-Oh-D-Struct! Top 100 of each faction get a free Unique "Molten" pattern (scarred and molten look). Top 25 get a Klaxon Warhorn. Top 10 get a Radioactive Decal or a Glowing Radioactive cockpit item for their mech. Top 3 get a personal verbal thanks from me, 00ohDstruct, for being the best at making others lives a burning hell.

As much as LRM's are part of the load out and do have a supporting role... getting real tired of every time PGI has one of the events it is nothing but LRM SPAM the entire duration of the event.

It is horrible you can't move out of cover without getting nailed by 4 different LRM boats.

Would be interesting to see a tourney or challenge where you cannot use LRM's or where LRM's give a penalty.

[Colonel Fubar]

Fantastic Challenge!

[Sky Hawk]

Not bad Challenge... But, the pointsystem...

Ye.. Has anybody saw before this Challenge, that a good-shape Hunchy and an empty TAG-Pult, just stays for the last Red kamikaze(!) Zombie-Atlas .. And try to find out, who has the unluck, and must do the last kill?

Ye... since TAG is not strong enogh to kill... the Hunchy lost...

The worst problem with this event is that it encourages NOT killing enemy mechs since kills and assists are mutually exclusive. That seems very broken. At least make kills and assists be equal weight.

[Lunatic_Asylum]

The challenge was perfect, and it felt as if PGI hit the golden middle for such events! The income is a bit high, but tolerable; the incentive to play is good!

[Aresye]

SCORE = (KILLS X 10) + (ASSISTS X 10) + (SOLO KILLS X 5) + (KILLS MOST DAMAGE DONE X 5) + ([DAMAGE DEALT - TEAM DAMAGE] / 15) + (WIN X 10)

There! All problems solved!

Devs, are you listening?

[The Boneshaman]

fun challenge. but I have had some REALLY bad luck have done over 37 matches to get my best of 10 qualifying. wish had weekend off to do more during these

[YUyahoo]

After playing dozens of games and having countless really bad teams (I am a solo player) I have noticed that what the tournament has brought out in play is teams that just snipe the enemy, try to tag as many as possible. Once this is done most people just find a quiet spot to hide and hope the rest of the team finishes the job <--- IS THIS REALLY THE DATA YOU WANT PGI BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, NO ONE WANTS TO KILL OR TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY THEY JUST FARM ASSISTS

I should add as well many games I should have scored but didn't because I accidentally killed the targets I was fighting...as so many have said KILLS SHOULD EQUAL ASSISTS

[bluepiglet]

No more tournament till LRM spam is addressed.

[LordLosh]

I like the incentives to play. I like the small change on lower 130 score. Thank you! I enjoy the concept of a faction challenge. I HATE THE FORMULA! if I scratch some one with a small laser I should not get the same amount of points for some one else that deals most damage and ends up killing them for me!
LRMS are here to stay not going to ***** about it but when you do assist points like this why wouldn't you use LRMS????????????????? I saw many Atlas DDC's trying to LRM boat with tags. I will cry myself to sleep knowing someone built a horrible ugly build and would do that to a poor atlas.

[Lunatic_Asylum]

What is wrong with an Atlas with LRMs and a tag?

[RomeoMustDie]

i dont see top 50. see 15.

Quote

All players who have opted-in and are members of the winning Faction (calculated by the combined score of the top 50 players in each Faction) will receive their House or Clan Banner or dog tags as a cockpit item!

[Mattiator]

It didn't register like five matches of mine, so it's not giving me a Hula Girl. Marvelous.

[YUyahoo]

As if the bad formula wasn't enough, it seems the contest ended early. All my games after 10:00pm PST (but before 11:59pm PST) don't appear to be showing up in the contest summary! PGI UPDATE YOUR SEVER TIMES FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (or whatever the fall equivalent is called)
