I'm likely going to get to ten qualifying matches all weekend. I simply can't camp the servers enough to get close to twenty.

The matches are mostly fun, except when there's no opponent but turrets, light rushed, stormcrow rushed, or otherwise cheated of the chance to actually play.

It's also way more fun to play IS vs IS.

10 battle so far, but I've only scored 3 points.

Problem is, when I get defense the Clan team just rushes and ends the battle before anyone can score 80 points. Then when I get offense, the team gets butchered by the Clan team and nobody on the offensive team makes 80 points.


EDIT:

...and I give up. I'm just endlessly waiting in queues, and whenever I finally do get a battle, I don't get 80 points.

CW is just so horribly broken; this even should not have been held yet.

CW is so buggy you should extend the time for this

I rather enjoyed it. Got the challenges, and never had a match against just the Turrets.

I went in solo most of time.

The MWO Challenges are usually pretty long, but there are different levels to complete, so people can get something out of it. And they wouldn't be challenges without some "challenge" to it. If it was easy to get all the way to the end, it'd be boring.

It was a bit of a mixed bag as far as the people in the game. Some nubes, some experts, some all PUGs, some 12 man premades. And having a 12 man didn't mean they were good. Was on a PUG group that wasted a 12 man...more than once. Okay..it was twice. But still....

Edit: I also got rolled more than once too. The teams of IS lights were the best for rushing the generators and winning fast. But we got creamed by mixed bag IS mechs too. It usually comes down to some luck and a lot of good coordination and understanding of what needs to be done.

Defense was still the best place to make XP and Cbills. As the only objective is to kill mechs.

But it's CW. And a big part of that is attacking planets. Unfortunately that is rarely a mech kill event, but mostly just a run to the objective.

This was an utter rubbish challenge. It was a chore to get to five matches. With a broken matchmaker and three games in a row that were complete lessons in fail including a match with no enemy. Results in 160 minutes give or take to get a match score of 80. What a joke.

Im begining to think the sulferous rift map is worse than mining collective for being a nightmare to use effectively.

Oh and only won 3/9 matches needed to qualify. Yeah working as intended.

Impossible to succeed in this challange. But not because of the 80 points. It's just impossible to find a match.

this evening I spent 4h to get 5 Matches and of those 5 Matches I had 3 whitout opponents.

I completed all Challanges successfully so far and there where a few tuff ones (at least if you run a RL beside Gaming or have to be in a 4 man or something like that).
And it would be no problem for me if I wouldn't complet this Challange because of to less score during the matches I played.
If I suck, I don't deserv the goodies. I totally understand that

But the fact: that I don't even have a chance to get enough matches together because of hanging in some queues for hours and then ending up in half of the matches without an Opponent really pisses me off.

At least so much, that I join in here and troll a forumpost.

[Logajam]

Between limited time to play this weekend, and not finding matches, I'm less then happy with the challenge.

[Serpentbane]

I have not found a single match yet. Not one. I'm not going to wait for ever in hope for someone to join. Am I able to see if there are any players waiting on the different system lobbies...

[Country Gravy]

How do you miss the fact that you need to see how many people are in the lobby for both sides? It seems so basic, how could a developer miss that? It's almost scary.

its been a whole day and my tier 2 reward hasnt redeemed

[Sky Hawk]

It's CW BETA.. If it don't crushing EVERY time.. it is working.. somehow!.. But, sure.. CW BETA ist far-far away... about April??..

NOW.. If you can play a CW match.. Be happy ! (a = one!..) It is not broken.. just inefficient.. very-very inefficient..

And, MM.. Ye.. looks like nobody said PGI before, that not just 12-Man Teams want to play CW.. Because.. it looks like, here are not many players, who can speak the canadian language.. BUT, they know it now.. they will sure make it playable for Solos too.. The question is, just... When..?

During the Waiting Times.. you have far enough time, to think about that WHEN.. Right?

[POWR]

Damnit, I thought it ended tonight and went and messed about in Elite instead ;( stupid me...

I have a request for the Smoked Jaguars to STOP defending Ghost Bear worlds, you need to go back to basic training and learn to play the game, EVERY loss I have had in CW can directly be attributed to them... PLEASE STOP "HELPING"

Please go lose your own worlds and stop costing us ours

Oh, it's you.

You somehow managed to die 5 minutes in (well, you didn't live long) after using up 4 mechs.

I'm not even sure what else to say.

It's not my problem anyways... since you guys weren't even the majority of the team. It's your planet to lose. Can't blame anyone else for that (the SJ players carried for the most part).

AFAIK it seems to be auto-redeemed/injected once you reach that point, and the game does't do the "redeem" message when it occurs.

My only gripe with the challenge is that the 20 pt reward is not the sum of the Tier 1 + Tier 2 rewards. At least, the 20 pt reward should be double the Tier 2 reward.

It never injected, ghost or otherwise, my account is sitting at the same number of cbills and my gxp has not increased more than a few points from playing.

[Der Kopfsammler]

Finding teams is hard... although getting +80 points is easy, but I wish they would have extended the period because most of us dont have the time to wait 1 hour for a team and 30 minutes to battle...

I'll have to actually check. It might actually be immediately injected once you win the proper tier at that very moment.

I kinda wish I could see my current C-bills and the new total after winning a match, so all the updates are in order.

after I got pissed off at the jaguars for running me over, stopping in the way, walking in front of friendly frie, and in overall grand fashion, stopping me and others from even moving out of fire or firing in return, STOP HELPING

It was injected... there is no prompt. I bothered to check to make sure this was going on.

PGI does a bad job of informing players of the injections of certain reward types (C-bills and GXP) and doesn't prompt you for that.

Somehow this was suddenly done 4 times, while you did less than triple digits in damage?

I'm very skeptical of that.

[Ssamout]

Just noticed, that there seems to be no other reward for shooting the gun generator, than winning the match.

That's ok, you win, and thats the point. But for example in this tournament, where the score to get is 80. I did not score a point, even though destroyed like 90% of the gun by my self, with an end score of 65. All other members of my team got scores over 100, just because while I was shooting the gun they hold back the enemy mechs.

Am I just a noob who doesn't know that you have to farm them clanners before actually trying to win?

Other matches where we are stomped by clanners I still get matchscores over 100 quite easily.. And by decimating them clanners you also get loyalty points(?),

.. but yeah, this isn't about no frikkin' matchscore anyways, and the tournaments end, so yeah, ..
