Hard?

You cant be serious!

I just cant understand why people complain about FREE stuff.

Complaints are very valid as event´s such as this prove to promote **** gameplay over and over again ... a weekend of no fun in mwo, free stuff, yay.

PGI jumped the shark with the survival demand. It's turned most matches even more passive, since even if you're having a great match and wreak havoc with 5-6 kills and plenty of damage but happen to die close to the end, your match does not qualify. As usual they really need to consider what their rules for tournaments/challenges will do to change the player behaviors that actually want to do great at them.

Here's an alternative viewpoint ...

The rules are fine. On the other hand, the quality/attitude/morals/whatever of much of the player base leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Or even ...

Say hello to the diseased organism called the Human Race.

People will only do as much as they are required to do. That's the basic rule of management.

Forcing you to get a kill and survive...I'll be surprised if I can get a few points.

...so if the tournament was "kill teammates to get mechs", the rules would still be fine, yeah? It's the players who are the ******** that are actually killing teammates, after all.

This one will still be telling you everything is fine......

The rules for this weekend's challenge are just fine.

And so I don't know what crappy "tournament" you are referring to.

It seems both of you just can't read, have poor reading comprehension, or both.

Destroy the enemy, help your team, don't die, and win the fight? Sounds like my goal in every game. I don't know what the problem is.

[The Boz]

Is it on the "TOURNAMENTS" section? Oh look! It is.

OMG. It is almost as if <GASP> you're a MECHWARRIOR who has to survive.

OMG. I CAN'T JUST SHOOT **** FROM THE BASEMENT. I HAVE TO ACTUALLY **THINK** AND WORK TOGETHER AND SURVIVE. I CAN'T JUST PAD MY K/D RATIO!!! OMG!!! TEARS!!!!!

Instead of blasting away like just another shooter, you have to play MECHWARRIOR now.

Pathetic QQ. This challenge certainly separates the true MechWarriors from the wanna-bees.

You muppet.
The bitching here isn't of the "waah waah we don't get our free stuff" variety, but of the "damn, this type of stupidity is literally destroying the gameplay."

[WidowersGhost]

Guess im on the side of dislike with this one. i have little chance or time to complete this challage. i put in a few hours and managed a few points, but with the survival requirement i cant seam to get points. ( ya im one of the dunb ones fighting on after i get a kill, and i whole heartedly agree that the gameplay atm is a factor in why this challange really really bites )truth be told i think who ever said play on the weekdays has it right. frak the challange id rather do something... anything else this weekend.

Just because it is in the "tournaments" section it doesn't make it a tournament. Tournaments require competition, there isn't a leaderboard or any other type of ranking system so this weekends event is a "challenge" but not really a tournament.

While I agree that having to survive the match isn't a good requirement, I find it hard to believe people are actually complaining so much about this challenge. Is it hard for people to understand that winning is the best way to survive? Are there actually people trying to steal a kill and then hide?

For newbies and terribads, the answer is yes to both.

It's the actual difference between "having a clue" vs "having no balls".

While the group queue will still foster aggression, there will still be groups and various solo players that prefer to save their own arses.

What's worse is if someone TKs, intentionally or not, to get to a target in question. Remember, being TKed means you didn't survive.

[RazorbeastFXK3]

This tournament is reminding me of Gundam Waltz a little.. I get one kill and disable the rest. (I know that in Gundam Waltz they don't kill anyone in that one battle but still..)

[LordBraxton]

Everyone is hiding and running away and nobody will commit.

everyone has become cowards

2 weekend on a row a ******** tournament-events.
we had the 12 assit 1000+damage weekend, cut 2 arms and one leg and leave it be.
and now it
1 assist and 2 kills go powerdown hoping the added kill was enuf, it less frustration to live an lose that carry team, die and win.

[Aesis]

Should have just done win + survive + assist.

I disagree. It's the "survival" part that reveals people for who they really are.
