[BattleBunny]

so I opted in, then wanted to change faction, since it states that I can (Its still 3 hours before deadline)

its not changing my faction despite saying:

"Your faction selection was successfully changed."


it only changed my forum logo (when posting) , not the one on my profile

So, if I happen to not have enough money for a clan-mech I have the chance to win a banner for a IS-faction I don't like? Nicely done...

There are 4 clan trial mechs.

Not which they are, but they exist just for this purpose.

I love how many people can't read, but can still rant pretty well...

It's just a giant IS vs Clan weekend, where there's some chance you can win some free stuff. Nothing more, nothing less. Treat it as thus, be less frustrated.

Yes, the try-hards will be out, yes, the games will likely be miserable this weekend, as during most events, but at least there's some CBills in this one, and they're attainable.

At least we know what metrics they're looking for this time, and it's data we very much want them to have right before CW, this may be the last chance to adjust clans vs IS balance before launch.

Is "lone wolf" a house? Or do I have to switch to one?

I would like to stay a "lone wolf"

You can stay a lone wolf.

Same here - I suspect it is because we are members of a unit?

Ahh Crap, time to buy the Arrow...

[NotXanderpeach]

So, now it's obvious for me that PGI does not read feedback for tournaments.
Because everytime You forcing lrm usage in challenges like this. New formula is just ridiculous. Bravo.
Lrmboats and lights now have a serious advantage in this challenge.

So many complainers lol!

If you aren't dropping in a group don't complain because you easily can like anyone else. Not to mention you can join a unit if you really want to like most do. Plus if you have such memory loss as in to forget there has been two individual leaderboard events in the past two months you may want to see if you have Alzheimer's.

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.

Yup. This is so going to happen. The sad thing is, it'll be rock paper scissor in competitive groups to see who gets to have the "deathstar" this time so everyone else can farm damage and get 12 assists.

Strip them, leg them, leave them for the clean-up Jenner/Firestarter.

This would be less of an issue if they put a cap on group size you could drop with in the challenge (say no more than 4-5) for dropping in group queue.

The other issue of making the assists worth more is it will encourage people to have that 1 ER large laser just for sweeping across the entire enemy team to farm assists. I touched everyone? OK, time to "disable" some mechs.

Need I say more?

Group matches don't count. Go back and read the rules.

I'm an idiot.

Yea I'm really only in this for the Hula girl. With the raging herds of ROFLPUG-Fails in the solo queue, I'm not even getting my hopes up for cash bonuses this time. Turn on a day of Premo... run around shooting blindly at anything red and then run around in circles after I run out of ammo to dazzle and confuse my enemy as I get raked by a spam-shower of CU/AC5 slugs.....

oh yea... gonna be a hoot... especially once the whisky kicks in

It's the Steiner way! I'm all over this tactic!

I suggest you go back and read them. The only matches that don't count are of the private variety.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I guess I did mis-read it.

[Jody Von Jedi]

It's sad that before every Tournament, almost every post is pointing out how the system can be gamed.

I have opted in and I will play normally. If I get 10 Mil C-bills, great. If not, I'm already "Richer than Blake", so it really doesn't matter.

[mad kat]

I learn't my lesson from the last one.

Note to self only take my best mechs out this weekend and stop dicking about trying to 'level up' my lesser mechs against try hards.

Hope your all ready for a Srm punch to the face!

[Skyraxx]

selecting your factions seems bugged to me. On my profile page it shows me still as a merc, even after I click a new faction. On the forum it shows jade falcon....

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

[Kamies]

Why!? Why the assists bring more points than kills? Why solo challenge can be played with a group? What next? Lance challenge that is about TAGing people in solo queue?

edit. On the other note I'm not one bit concerned about people sync dropping to get good results for couple players. That is the most easily spotted abuse of all time. Devs or moderators or whatever just have to stalk one player and 20+ gets banned for cheating. There can't be groups dumb enough to try it.
