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")

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

Haters gonna hate. That's the only thing the internet has taught me.

Here we go again. Another weekend of killing and slaughter!

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

Interesting, the devs seem to be leaving us to come up with our own answers for questions as they havent posted and answers here yet

I will play how I want to play.

[Kodyn]

I'm pretty positive tonight's gonna go ok, then the rest of the weekend will devolve into normal tourney mode, which is to say, Mech Hell. Not even gonna complain, since I'll likely get to earn some CBills at least, so it won't be a total loss.

I will still however suggest the same thing I have for each of the "Opt-In" events, separate the queues, as it's unfair to both those opted in, and those not involved, and generally ruins the weekend for many players.

The ridiculousness of the competition itself is mind boggling.100 games at 130 score is just brutally unrealistic, you'll be lucky to see 50. These competitions require you get get a large amount of assists or damage, well I can do a crapload of damage

Whenever they make a challenge, someone comes who doesn't understand the score formula. This time you are that guy.
Read it again and do the math.

It is NOT the ingame match score.

I'm still annoyed that becuase I'm in an IS merc unit, I can't use my clan mechs.

Would be really nice if i could get in a match...

Anyone else think the scoring for this tournament is currently bugged? A little more than 3 hours in, and we already have more than 100 players with over 2000 points. In order to get 200 points per game, you need something like this:

3 kills (30), 5 assists (100), 750 damage (50), win (20)

And this doesn't include the many people who have score over 2400.

I find it hard to believe that that many players have won 10 games and done that well in each of them in less than 4 hours. In past tournaments with the same scoring system it has taken days to get this high. Also, IIRC there was a similar scoring bug in a past tournament where the scores were inflated in the first day, until PGI fixed it. Am I missing something?

Edited to include a screenshot,and to fix previously broken math above.

I tried to keep an open mind, play with your rules and take this seriously but every time I let someone else take the killshot of an all red and legged enemy in front of me I facepalm little inside. There is no other FPS that punishes you from killing enemies.

I liked the usual leaderboard challenges but this one is a joke.

[warner2]

The formula for the worthy adversaries was: (Kills × 20) + (Kill Assist × 10) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)

This one swaps that 20 and 10 around so assists earn many points. You can earn an extra 100k CBills in a match just by getting 7 assists with zero kills and hardly any damage to really they are giving free CBills away if you are prepared to play the matches.

Ive noticed that my score keeps going up but the number of qualified games does not. The timestamps on the games is in no particular order. I have played more than ten games but only ten games show up on the list of games Ive played.

something is broken becaue even if I wait 20 minutes no new games are added to my list of games played.

Eh. Maybe.

I mean, I've only played one match so far, but it was worth 232 points, and it wasn't that hard to get.

1 kill
9 assists
330 dmg (well, 329 including a single point of friendly fire)

232 points just for tromping around in my 3L doing exactly what I normally do: ECM cover, TAG spotting and flanking shots on mechs already fighting the big boys.

It doesn't strike me as being all that difficult to get high point totals, because that was hardly an outstanding game. 10 of those matches and I'd be #3 on the Merc board, and at least top 5 anywhere else. Drop with a good group and stomp randoms in group queue, and you'll rack up games like that (and better) in no time.

I really dont get why you get double the points for assists as for kills. It is so annoying when you miss the 100k CB reward because you killed someone instead of getting the assist.
I am now trying to not finish enemy mechs off now, but that can not be the point of this game.

You used a bad example there. The people that get this many points dont do it because of kills, but assists. Its very easy to get like 10 assists and thus far more than 200 points with a mech wit long range lasers.

This whole challenge is kind of weird because of the scoring. Because the hotshots that carry games alone and get many kills only get few points. So if the best players want to be among the top scorers, they have to avoid getting kills. Its kinda stupid.

Ok so if we are a Merc unit before the whole "Merc-units-must-align-with-a-faction-information" was released, the site doesn't allow me to change factions, and I have notified the Admins of who we are aligning with a couple weeks ago, how does this work for us?

Another question, why would the deadline be so early in the day on a Friday when most people are at work?

Just noticed my avatar shows Clan Wolf... Interesting.

right spot 2 and 2587 within 4 hours. time for a nap and hope i wont drop all to far, as thats the most depressing sight ones you wake up after a nice set of games of near 12 or a few 12 assist matches.

[ManaValkyrie]

What I want to see is actual Faction Scores and Rankings, because some factions have a lot more players and therefore matches played, the current, most score ranking is pretty poor as it isn't representative at all.

Really should be Total Score/divided by total number of matches of each faction to provide rankings.

[Redoxin]

Just had an 8 assist game, so I should have more than 160 points. And I didnt get the 100k reward for it that you only need 130 points for.

[Pugnax]

So basically you lose points for getting kills... that is stupid as ****. Anyone can run around and get 12 assists by shooting everyone once.
