I made it to 10, somehow. Lord knows if there'd been manageable waits for a match <5 minutes, I'd have easily made 20 in the time I tried to play. But waiting 30 minutes, then getting a Defender-less CA, or 30, and getting a 12 man Rush where NO ONE on either team managed 80 points at the end. Literally, 0 players got 80, I'm not even sure anyone topped 70! But anyways, Those situations and all the other wait time could have netted me 20+ more matches i'd guess.

So yeah, this would have been a great challenge, a shame lots of us couldn't get enough matches to even have a shot. I doubt I had even 20 total matches, despite spending most of Friday night after work (until 2am), 2 hours on Saturday, and all day on Sunday trying. Plus last night after work until 9pm when I finally hit 10 and just said screw it, time to watch a movie. At least the Kill-Assist-Win challenge involved playing the game instead of waiting, and even that one took less total time (and involved, again, playing!)

Got 5 pts and enjoyed the games alot - waiting was a bit of pain but did other stuff whilst it was.

I'm enjoying CW itself immensely, but barely getting any qualifying matches.

The wins happened too quickly, plus most of mine came from 12-mans, so we were not getting huge individual damage, as we focus fire and whatnot, more about efficiency than personal score. The losses were to zerg rushes that ended too quickly to rack up points.

Would love to see the challenge extended or repeated next weekend, as I've pretty much had to write it off, but still, CW itself is solid. Just the wrong time to run this challenge.

Oh **** this! After not getting IS vs IS matches anymore, I go to a busy system (always <10min), more than an hour before the challenge ends. And suddenly the matchmaking doesn't find matches anymore. An hour without anything happening!

I constantly doubled, trippled and quadrupelt the necessaey points, my worst matches are at 140 points (nvm walkovers)! And now i can't get the tier 2 because the MM is failing.

This is infuriating QQ

It just ended when I was 1 point away from the 10 point challenge.

Sigh. I had just spent my 3 mil on a module, too.

[decman117]

Do matches count if they started before the challenge ended, but finished after? just came out of the last one for 20 points, but it ended at 5 mins past.

[Cellinor]

Had a great time in the challenge. I would have gotten the 10 (only got 8) but the que time was too long. My bud and I run solo but even in PUGS we still had success. The biggest thing was just learning the maps, how to properly assault for each map, how to properly defend for each map, and how to set up your drop order for attacking/defending/map.

But when it takes 10 to 20 minutes in que there is nothing I could do about that.

Overall, I like the challenge!

I am sad that I didn't have more time to participate though; too much to do for my last Final. I feel like I could've really done well otherwise.

It's nice to see a Challenge based on Match Score instead of a formula. I feel like the Match Score is already a fairly decent representation of your combat contribution.

[ERescue]

@Decman117: Unluckily for you, they do not.

My final results are:

15 attempts:

4 times no match was found.
2 additional times no enemy was found in game
1 additional time game crashed to desktop
1 additional time game ran over the allotted time
7 additional times not enough points were scored

End result: 0 successes. Time spent in queues... 540+ minutes = well over 9 hours. Not funny, not funny AT ALL!

[Vlad Striker]

Disappointed. Challenge was lauched but technical side was not cooked. Queue is slow and unpredictable so I can't take my reward in time.

[Averen]

All said, the challenge was cool and CW is a lot of fun.

PGI, as a little wish for chrismas, it would be awesome if you could extend it for the next weekend (like you did with the victors).

Was looking at my client, and i was under the impression that each challenge stacked, as in i got my 20 points, but only got 4mil cbills, and gxp. i was anticipating getting 9 mil for completing each challenge tier.

[Felix Jongleur]

I didn't get any of my cbills or GXP and I had 6 matches to qualify me for the 2 million cbills and 2k GXP.

I was curious if anyone else was having this issue.

I got the first and second tier awards approx 15 minutes after I achieved the goal. I was sitting at 17 of the 20 matches as of 8 am this morning. I spent 5 hours trying to get 3 matches but could only get two. What a crock of sh*t. Very disappointed. Due to the matchmaking not being the greatest I lost out. Freaking annoying.

The last hour I spent qeueing matches, waiting 5 minutes, cancelling. Repeated over and over for an hour. Never got a match at all. I hope to hell PGI does something about this. Extends the deadline or something.

[EXeCuToRPriME]

I dont think i got my tier 3 challenge prize? I never redeemed 4mill or hella gxp!???

[L A guns]
