Rats. I won one of them.

My lone wolves are being left behind by the Merc Corps. Big guys, big drops.

Ah, well. Good thing I'm not Liao or Smoke Jaguar.

why is it no longer updating?

===DISREGARD===

Okay so I noticed the scoring system was doing something funky. I investigated and I am most certainly confused. Any thoughts?

All my qualifying games:

But my leaderboard score:
http://cdn.anook.com...66ecdda2277.jpg

Where did I get those extra 173 points?

Formula used for "true" score was (Kills × 10) + (Kill Assist × 20) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)
If you include the wins part of the total score (20 x # of wins) it can still not possibly be 173 as that is not a multiple of 20.

The c-bill bonus doesn't factor in points for a win (a.k.a. 20 points).
The tournament total only counts scores from winning matches.

I think you meant to quote a different post as your post makes no sense in reference to what I posted.

if you factor in your 11th highest score, that gets you closer to your listed score...?

Okay so going back over the rules for this, appears that the qualifying matches (over 130 match score) do not require you to win for them to count while the actual leaderboard score does.

So I checked back over and remembered that the 1 kill, 1097dmg, 5assist, 15tdmg with a score of 182 was actually a loss. With this score removed and the next one listed added instead (the duplicate 155) the score comes out to 1873 which when added to the 200 for 10 wins gives me the 2073 I have on the leaderboard.

Yay math!

Score formula: (Kills × 10) + (Kill Assist × 20) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15) + (Wins × 20)

[Morpheousz]

ah, wins (max of 10) x 20, that's where things were off...

[AntleredCormorant]

Not sure why they don't use the shiny new scoring system instead, but hey.. Gift horse & all.

[RalphVargr]

Depressed. I moved up to #450. I was hoping to drop at least 100 places...

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

I literally don't get it. You have a whole NEW REWARDS SYSTEM that has the ability to reward players for actually being good players, and yet for the tournament formula you continue to use the same broken formula.

Wait, I take that back. The formula this time is different. It's even more moronic than scoring kills higher.

Groups of players just rushing the enemy team, doing as much damage, getting killed in the process, and leaving it to the 4-5 mechs left to get all the kills.

You may as well make the tournament solely about damage done, because that's exactly what this formula is. Everybody will get 12 assists 10 times for their top 10 matches. You can already see this in the scores. 2800-2900 is all 12 assists and about 800-1000 damage for all 10 matches. Meaning, once you get 12 assists for all 10 games, the competition turns to who can do the most damage.

It's inspiring a whole new era of bad play tactics, that, to be quite honest, are all worse than kill stealing.

I sure love having teams throw the match expecting me to carry them so I get a s***** score, and they reap the rewards of that effort.

"Don't kill" challenge
If you already shot a target, don't kill it or you'll "lose" 10 points (reward for a kill 10 pts, for an assist 20).

A quick and long range mech is the better option.
Or take a light and shot everything, then run back to your time and support, but DON'T KILLLLLLL
It's supposed to be "sharp" ? An Atlas who got 4 kills, 600 dmg, 2 assists made a nice game, but don't score any challenge point.

Congrats to winners of this thing. They got nice team, well organised, which make them hurting a lot (so, leg, then right arm, left...) every foe, but never kill them. MWO is a wounding game as you know. PR thing...


Next challenge: "0 shot and win".


PS: every time i kill a mech: "s****!!". That's MWO^^

10 games or 10 wins for Hula Girl?

[Lily from animove]

interesting is we see scores as high as in o other challange, still same formula, thats now definately because poeple stop killing and prefer ripping others apart, I think as faction challange this isn't working. as chassis challange its ok.

But doesn't cares a lot of kill c-bills to ern on the battlefield

Total screw up for us in the UK. Not enough warning, couldn't change factions submitted a support ticket they changed the faction but it was too late they didn't change the faction for the event. So spent a lot of money on Clan mechs we cannot use.
Very disappointed in MWO

I misread the rules in my enthusiasm, I thought it was 130damage for 100k cbill bonus but it's actually 130 score
So this is not something that's meant for the majority of players but instead for the pro folks, ah well.

the 130 score is not coming from the score formula the game screen board shows its just the one at the tournament page, and this is rather easy to get, 7 assists and you get 140 score already.

I killed 6 mechs in one match and it barely counted lol. That formula surely is crazy.
