like what is with all the whining, this tourney is perfectly fine and easy to complete.... and THREE FRICKEN DAYS FREE PREMIUM TIME!!!!!

[Brody319]

They are complaining because its too hard to get at least 1 assist, and 1 kill, survive, and win. They wanna be able to charge in, poke one guy, explode one other guy, then die and let their team win for them.

It is the terribad playing with the game full of griefers and cowards hoping the rest of the team will carry them to a winning while they hid to avoid death.
Of course this almost always leads to defeat and death for them but that doesn't dissuade them from doing the same thing over and over again.

When this type of play was confined to just 1 or 2 players on a team it was tolerable, but with the tournament this behavior has multiplied drastically.
The habit of PGI's MM to try and balance teams by throwing in one High Elo ranked player to equal out 2 horrible Elo rated pilots while matching them against three average or above average pilots means it really sucks for anyone who isn't in the Middle Elo ratings.

so ive played alot of matches,
ether survive with 8-11 Kill assists,
or die with 1-3 kills and 3-5 kill assists,

most matches when there where pushes they folded,
no one wants to die and miss their chance, its a bit annoying,
i dont like cowering, when i can give my life for the team,

ill keep playing but as of now,
still no victory for me,

[Chip Danger]

it's a crap mech and a whole 3 days time that starts the moment you win. not really worth doing in my book. But good luck to the ones trying

[Popper100]

It's amazing, I get Prem and I say to myself "dang, this game is fun when you stop worrying about grinding your face into the ground."

Then I realize that without VOIP, a decent MM, and a host of other things that this is the equivalent of smashing to action figures together and going "bang bang" and laughing about it. So I don't recommend the game to anybody.

Pardon?

It's more: Carry team, and still lose because of one other persons bad call. I captured three points, attempting to stop us from losing, and then got tied up by three heavies; the other light on my team, instead of breaking off and going to other caps like I asked, followed me like a lost puppy. Four kills, one assist, no death, and a loss.

Also, there are exactly 12 opposing players. There are 12 people on your team. So what if someone in a Huggin snags three kills from under you? Well, now 11 people need kills, but there's only 9 opponents left. What if the Dire gets two kills? 10 people need kills, 7 left. Ok, the stormcrow gets two? 9 people need kills, five to kill. Wow, four or less people ain't making it, even if they live.

Also? One of the assault players had seven kills and no assists on a win where he lived. No point. Kinda bullshit.

Hey when I play I try my hardest to get a kill, then I strip enemy mechs of their arms so my team can get some kills. Sometimes the enemy twists and dies. I am trying to help my team out but sometimes **** happens. I've just disengaged a armorless red CT direwolf with no arms because a locust was running in to get the kill. The Whale looked at me like "don't ignore me!" before he got a few small pulse lasers to the face and died.

Wonder what they would do if PGI randomly decided to inject 10million cbills into everyone's accounts...

PEOPLE ARE EXPRESSING THEIR OPINION ON HOW TERRIBLE THIS TOURNY IS FOR TEAMWORK AND THE GAME.

STOP BEING A ******* DOUCHE BAG THAT SUMS UP EVERYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR OWN OPINON AS "WHINING".

YOU'RE THE PROBLEM DUMB ASS.

KEEP CALM. MAYBE YOULL GET A FREE MECH.

"I have been playing since Closed Beta, I already have 200,000,000 cbills and nothing to spend them on. Also, why is this free????? You should have to complete some kind of challenge or something, to win something useful like a free 'mech!"

PS. For the record I understand the complaints it is frustrating to watch your whole team hide so they don't die while you try to win the match for them. . . if people would only realize that a lot of these challenges would be much easier to complete if everyone played their usual game without trying to over think it.

Maybe the problem is that people don't realize their greatest chance for getting kills, kill assists and especially surviving lies in teamwork ?

WHY DIDN'T YOU PEOPLE GIVE ME 20 MILLION! I DESERVE MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE! PGI YOU ARE A PILE OF DOG EXCREMENT!

That is what would happen if PGI gave everyone 10 million C-Bills

[Andi Nagasia]

personally im having the problem with the surviving aspect of the event,
i always do what i can for my team even when that means giving my life for my team,
and doing so in this event means i gain no points, and this bothers me,

i play mostly pug games and unfortunately ive noticed people cowering during a push,
and this is sadly happening much more often, been playing since the event started,
and sadly still no victory for me, ill keep playing and see if i can get anywhere,

PS. my K/D is like 0.2 so ya not getting much kills, ill keep trying though,

[Zeriniel]

The tourney/challenge isn't bothering me so much. I've had a VTR-9S since it came out, and the premium time is nice while I grind vindicators.
But watching half your team (or more) sitting back, in the open, launching stream after ineffective stream of LRMs at the enemy is maddening.


Edit: So no, I don't think PGI did anything malicious or anything with this. It's an interesting challenge.
The players' reaction to it, however, is mind boggling.

Equally maddening is when 5 mechs, all heavies and mediums scatter and cower behind a rock at a lone Hunchback rushing towards them. I think the challenge is a good one, but unfortunately in an environment of peekaboo and hiding behind a rock hoping the other members of the team will carry you, if it does nothing else it amplifies how the majority of people seem to want to play.
