There's absolutely zero coherent, objective reason why these two matches should have been this close in score.

Heck, once I really thought about the formula used, it was borderline abusive to simply tag as many mechs as possible and intentionally not kill any. It really wasn't representative of what "good" gameplay looks like.

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)


Yeah, I experienced that as well. I was kind of irked at the discrepancy.

i dont see top 50. see 15.


Top 50 scores are to determine winning alliance for Clan and IS...only the top 10 from each alliance receive an individual reward

Well that's an extreme disappointment. The contest should end at the designated time. Support ticket's already been sent in.

Well in follow up to my comments before this started and to highlight why a lot of people think this system of scoring is flawed I will use a match I had a little bit ago as an example.

I am in a slow Banshee-3E. On the far spawn from the rest of team. I play catch up to them for a bit. Team has already picked off a couple and engaged by the time I get there cause both sides pushed right at each other immediately. As soon as I get there I push into the fight. I end up 4 kills, 2 assist, and 673 dmg. Score was 125 by this scoring system, not qualified for the 100k bonus (not worried about tourney, burnt out on them this time).

Spider on our team (not in our group) did 113 dmg going leroy but got 7 assist... qualified match. Same for a raven with 9 assist and 154 dmg.


Overall I like the bonus money and whatnot that is possible this event. Just suggesting maybe another look at this scoring before the next event. It does not accurately reflect the work people are putting into a match.


904 damage 3 kills 3 assists 5 team damage, score was 150

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!


Even better, take out the win needed.

But even better then both, match score = tournie score.

I guess they meant "PGI specific time" not Pacific Standard Time when they said the contest will end at "11:59pm PST Sunday November 16"

Everything I wanted to say about my disappointment with the scoring system has already been said by others.

And that is coming from someone who DID come in the top 15 for their faction. It was not fun. It was not enjoyable. Getting a perfect game and then accidentally killing a 'mech was extremely disheartening as I knew that match would not be worth anything since I lost out on those 10 points.

What is worse is that I see players claim this prevents kill-stealing. This is complete nonsense.

When I complete a drop where I EARN 3 Kills, 6 assists, and deal out 934 damage and only score 212 points but then have a game where I only do 346 damage but get 12 assists and that is somehow worth 263 points, the scoring hurts my enjoyment of the gameplay.

Please do not keep this scoring system for future events. The in-game match score system works perfectly fine and would make an acceptable substitute for future tournaments of this nature.

So the event ended early, yet we didn't receive prizes...that makes sense. Make us waste time trying to grind out a few last games that won't mean anything. Glad i wasted brain cells on that, thanks PGI, real fun.

Went from reasonable and just feeling like the formula needed changing to being flat-out irritated and burnt out.

Cool event. Except for the times when I killed an enemy mech. I have never had to purposely avoid killing an enemy until today and that makes me sad.

Um....it...ended...early?

Don't really know how to make that more clear...they listed the end time, then stopped counting matches before the time they listed....thus someone doesn't know how to tell time, or how to proofread their own event announcement.

1 played match on the Weekend did qualify me for rank 1425 in the Lone Wolf ladder - that is more Players in that ladder than some People believe to play MWO ;)

2. When do we get the Hula girl and the -package ?

an extra 100k CBills for every win is nothing to sneeze at =)

I never go for the tournaments, due to spare time limitations, but i like the money ;)

One critique though: I don't get it why assists are rewarded more than kills. I don't say kills should be more than assists, but it makes totally no sense that my 5kill 6assists 1002dmg match was worth less points than my 1kill 10assists 400dmg match.

Everything should come at once. They did say it would be manually injected, which means probably not until they are in the office this morning.

Um....Did anyone else have a random monkey appear instead of a Hula Girl?

I'm not sexist or anything...but uh, I'd rather stare at a representation of a woman than a Wizard of Oz character any day.

Seriously though, didn't even see a "Redeem Items etc" notice, just happened to look in cockpit items, and presto, mystery monkey that I certainly never bought...curious.
