So far 3 points and gameplay doesn't seem to be any different from usual solo queue.

[Mark Brandhauber]

so far this challenge seems to inspire incredible cowardice in teams, great concept pgi.

RIP Servers.

Also, it took me until only my second match to see people trying to survive the matchand ducking out of the fight so that they can get their points towards the Victor. The 1 Kill 1 Assist requirement? Makes things a bit kill-stealy, but otherwise I'm fine with that. The win requirement? I'm fine with that. The survive requirement? **** that. You're invalidating brawler and even some skirmisher playstyles for the challenge by requiring that. You're encouraging players to not give it their all. That ain't right.

How do you guys keep coming with scoring systems with some fatal flaw to it, over and over and over? I don't understand, its really not that hard. Hell, couldn't you even just retract or change the formula some time into the event, even if its not retroactive?

PGI must have hired some former CoD staff, which is now running the weekly event!!

The "survive" requirement wasn't exactly the best idea. People play more defensively which leads to boring games. Maybe remove it and increase the points required to 25-30?

[Tom Sawyer]

Still at work but peeking at the forums every now and zen

Seems the "survive" clause is showing the stripes of those who will stab their own mothers to get that cred.

A few games tonight and I will see if its worth even trying.

The all or nothing events in my opinion are just rage inducing. Let me gain some kind of progress as I play. The 5+ battles in a row that accomplished nothing but anger and frustration only makes my choice of games to play for weekend events easier.

[NovaFury]

Bah, 7 kills, 0 assists.

Friggin dire wolf...

I don't go into these kinds of events with the sole intent of achieving what ever arbitrary goal they've set for me. I play as I always play, have fun, and just see where I'm at when I'm done. Keeps me sane.

Not again the lurm whores.......

Not only that! I have improved my arty and air strikes!!!
And I am expensive !!!

This is terrible. There's just no way. The event may as well be to survive 1 match and get 1 point. I've been at it for over an hour and I don't even have 1 point, heck I don't even have a win yet.

This is the correct answer.

At least you didn't run and hide after the first kill. I applaud you for that.

Disappointed with a 7 kill game, weekend event as normal

[Revis Volek]

What if you already own a VTR-9S (C)?


I guess I can sell it....would rather have had a choice. Just sucks I paid REAL money for this thing pre-nerfs and now it's being given away for free. Any chance us with them in our inventory can just get a Variant we dont own?

I'm really debating on never buying mechs with real money every again....every time I do you bite me in the ass for it. I know i have bad luck but come on....at least I get an engine outta the deal i guess. Still not really worth my time to even participate.

Maybe see everyone next event...

100% agree, it's the only way to survive the weekends these days.

[tripsangel]

..... dislike the Kill and survive.... if it was kill or assist and survive.. i would be happier....

Welcome to the Thinking Man's Shooter....FINALLY.

Get a kill and an assist and hide? Your team will lose, no points.

Play smart and work as a team? Your team has a chance to get points.

This event separates the Thinking Men from the Basement Boys.

Well done, PGI. Well done.

[ZenFool]

Worst event idea ever. Is this a social experiment or something? Cowardice is the name of the game for this event, resulting in horrific matches over and over again. There are other things that I'll probably be spending my time on this weekend.

Maybe that's the case in a group drop, but pugs aren't going to play like that. Its like river city every map, where people cower behind cover until some poor sob pushes. He dies but his team rolls over the other team.

And we all know what's coming this weekend.....



I dare not to take a loud breath now just in case PGI hears me and brings out something more innovative next week....

there is yet not much lrm spam at all

[Saobh]

hehe yeah people are playing a bit too much scardy cat ...

People at least are less charging on blindly and dying the first minute. But its funny to see Atals and such hugging walls for their dear lives. Got some very bad matches but at the same time got some absolute horible matches yesterday so blaming the week end event seems a bit easy.

I'm at 3 points so can't complain but its a bit harder then I expected as people aren't pushing when they should to roll red team when an opening comes. At least it brings the normal cowardly actions from basic troops in contrast to well trained squads who with small numbers should be capable of beating superior lesser trained numbers.

Community warfare is really going to hurt ^^
