2 scoring matches out of i don't know how many. PUG line is full of losses. I wish i had my headset back so I could play teams... but sadly, i don't.

[Lhaim]

I lost 3 out of 27 drops in the solo queue so far. Just play to win.

You should be able to accidentally do that.

well don't you mean 7? 6 would only get you 120 and then those mechs do have to die also.

So the average person even at a 50% win ratio isn't going to get a scoring match on every win so thats easy over 240 matches for some people and at 8 mins a match

thats 32 hours of playing.

thats almost an average person's working week.

too long, for too little


let me also say i'm not concerned how the good players do i'm concerned how the average joe does as without them the game will die

so what have all your 24 wins been scoring matches also?

only another 76 more games to go if they have, which is just ludicrous

Yes they were. Why would i need to play 76 other games? I get 100k extra for every win even if i do not complete the 10,000,000 its still a free premium time weekend + a Hula Girl.

well your just Mr. Awesome then i guess, the rest of us are mear morals

As for 76 more games, well duh, some people want to get everyone event done i personally don't but i know others who do.

or perhaps you didn't play at the last event where 20 scoring matches on a winning team got you 10 mill,

thats 500k per match and now it's 100k, thats a big difference between 20 and 100 games m8.

does 100k even buy you a medium laser these days?

i know my whales cost just over 44 million each to fit out

All I'm hearing is whining about free stuff. Sheesh. PGI gives away free stuff, and get the QQ that its not ENOUGH free stuff. <sigh>

100k per win on top of your match earnings?
Complain more, doesn't make your point valid.

100 games this event compared to 20 games last time,

some people could take over 32 hours of playing to score 100 scoring games.

thats is a legitmate concern.

PGI want to do some data mining and want to giuve us an incentive to play as much as we can for them, sorry but 100k a match which such a craptastic scoring formula that encoruages people to farm and avoid killing is just dumb

past events where 500k a match, why be such a cheapskate now?

Can you also accidentally win, so that your 1 point of damage counts?

No, I didn't think so.

Yup. scratching the bad guys only helps when someone kills them. And when everyone wants to just scratch them, it's a problem.

[kesmai]

i just play and get an additional 100000 cbills in 3/4 of my matches.
Do i have to earn the 10 mil?
nope.
so what´s the problem?

[Cricket504]

Not sure what the gripe is. Opt in and just play. If you get some extra earning, great, if not.. what are you out? I'm just working on a new RVN-H and leveling it and I'm getting scores about 1/3rd of the time that count in just the solo queue.

No but then your missing the whole point some of us try when we do things to reach these goals and this 10 mill goal at 100 games when last time it was 20 games is the point.

do you understand now?

so 1.3 the time, good nice to see you can offer something useful.

so thats 300 games played to get the magic 100 games to earn 10 mill

and how long would 300 games take?

point is thats just way to excess and this carrot PGI is dnalging in front of people say you can win up to 10 mill is a joke for the average pilot.

If they want me time to play to use for data as there in game testing and such can't do this so they need the community help to achiev this and i'd like to think 32+ hours of gaming to get these 100 scoring matches is too much time for such a small reward

ok. lets see.
YOU get a chance to earn more. it´s capped. YOUR goal is to go for the cap they made on the sum, but it takes too long for YOU.
i am too dumb to understand the logical base of you argumentation and mentioning the rewards FORMER challenges gave you does not even help the smallest bit.
see there´s a rule. to earn the full money you have to play 100 qualifying games. you don´t have to, there´s none at your back forcing you.
bitching about the rules free stuff is based upon is not very clever.

So we have the lastest event on and it's a rather laughable joke.

10 million c-bills bonus up for grabs they say?

I laugh and say your dreaming, the scoring method is crazy, a lossing side will hardly never reach this 130 mark and to top it off if you do you get 100k?

that's 100 scoring match's to get your 10 mill. Last time cash was up for grabs it was 500k per scoring match, not 100k, this is being a cheapskate.

I know for last event i just made my 60 matches with a few hours to spare and had to put in a 8 hour stretch on the final day to get there.

the previous c-bill bonus event i got 8 million and that was once again a whole weekend deal.

Personally at 100k a scoring match with such a ****** formula, i'll pass and take my hula girl so i can have 1 in each variants of my mechs for a total of 3 now and not bother with the c-bill chase as it's just crazy amount of matches even if you score every match.

i got 400k from 15 matches, sure i was playing with a bunch of drunk mates on a friday night but it's just not worth the hassle for the pay out.

PGI stop being cheapskates and at least make it 250k per scoring match or else it's not worht the effort.

Dude, it's FREE C-Bills. C'mon man, you're complaining about free?

You don't need a headset to be in a group. I generally don't, but we succeed just fine.


You do need a keyboard to whine, though.

[Hades Trooper]

Look it's simple,

500k per match was fine

but 100k poer match is 100 games compared to 20, that's quite a difference in expectations and if someone says something about it's a whinge?

glad to see the fanboys still have there heads up there butts and still say but it's so sunny up here in there own butt.

[Angel of Annihilation]

Seriously why are people complaining about getting free C-bills? Oh noes it isn't as easy to hit 10 million as it was a few weeks ago...so the hell what, it is still free C-bills.

Currently I have made 1.9 million BONUS C-bills just through my normal weekend play. This is 1.9 million more than I would have had if they weren't giving them away free to anyone who can score over 130 points in a match. This is roughly what I can make in two hours of play, so how is this a bad thing again?

Seriously you complainers really need to zip it up, about this at least. FREE, BONUS, EXTRA...get these words through your head and shut the hell up about it already.
