And done!

A slog. Last games didn't want to drop. Like the free mech-bay

Nothing but massive kill whoring. I've had multiple games where my own team has killed me so I couldn't get kills they wanted. It's completely out of control. Getting to 30 is going to be almost impossible in this environment. I played 16 games today and between bad teams and teams killing me to horde the kills I have only 3 so far that qualify.

Thats not too bad, I expect to play at least 60 to pull this off, probs more.

Really wish people would learn what a confirmation bias is.

Just a suggestion, as I know this is a rough one for some, but group queue is the way to go. Even if you can only get 1 person with you, that's enough, then you can hook up with some hopefully 8-10 mans on your team, get some better teamwork and wins.

It's been hit-or miss for me, but in the first night, up to 14 games counted, most of that thanks to a small team in the group queue. We fluctuated between 3-6 guys all night, had some losses, had some wins, got to roll the Devs, and had great fun, along with the fact that due to the premium, have made nearly 5 mil thus far.

As with any of these events, the gameplay will worsen a bit as the weekend drags on, so best bet is to get as much done as early as possible. Sundays are the worst days to try and finish challenges, people are burnt out, desperate, and I have a theory that all the Europeans are drunk .

Just grab a friend, or if you have none, find someone from the forums, or in a match, and have some fun. Yeah, be sure to get your one kill, but beyond that, play as normal, and the wins will start to stack up. When you get frustrated and try too hard, you'll both feel like you're making less progress, and probably in reality be making less. When you just have fun for a few hours, check back, find out you're halfway done, then hell, even if you don't finish, you had a good night, and made some CBills.

Just my thoughts, as someone who used to get really frustrated by these events, who has learned ways to make the best of them.

@ Cyborg dragon

I have my reasons

Your point?

I was going to type a long response , But today I'm just not feeling feeding your forum warrior appetite as amusing as it is . Especially when you and the same people think I care about your opinion. I want the game right for the majority not the vocal minority.

Nuff said but please carry on trying to tear every post that isn't in agreement with yours to pieces. See how it works out for you.

I like how the person who claims to be for the majority not the vocal minority has 1,018 posts compared to the 200-somethings of the people he claims are tearing him up.

BTW this will be my first post ever so I guess that makes me the vocal minority, but yes why are you still here if you uninstalled permanently?

11 points after 36 games... hmm a bit behind schedule.

[draiocht]

btw, I again have to say that I really do like the tournament page list of match stats!

...even if it is mostly long runs of red boxes.

[Moonraven83]

30 points is to much, dont have time for grind.
Good challange-idea to promote game (Challange conditions and prizes).
bad challange to please to masses (amount of points needed).
Conclusion: its a fail.

Got 18 points now. It's not too hard to earn a kill even on a light mech.
My W\L is near 1:4, KD growing up

Yeah, 15 games for the first 3 qualified matches for me. Now 28 games and only 8 points. Almost all non-qualified matches were a loss.

[G SE7EN7]

I just got 6 points in 8 matches. Its not 'Too Hard'

Come over Ive got some spare concrete.

[PFC Carsten]

This is actually harder than it first seemed due to many people just trying to secure their kill/assist and forgetting that the TEAM has to win actually.

[Mighty Spike]

lol-this tournament should be named "watch thebrainless runnin or shutdown around" and become something for that Holy...........

Team??? what isTHAt?? something to eat??? ooooh look " a damaged mech GOOOO " half team of mechs with 60 kmH runs after a 100+ light.....across the whole map

The Problem with this challenges is always that they are all or nothing, you're always dependant on your Team, even if you do good and play well, if your Team sucks you get nothing, this leads to all this anger, frustration and hostile behavior!

If everything you do would give you Points, like Kill = 1 Point, Assist = 1 Point, Win = 2 Points and for Rewards you would have to reach Point Value X, you would see a progression even if you loose a game and this would be way more fun!

I really have to agree with this.

[That Dawg]

Wheeee, Not so bad, I retract my pissant thoughts earlier, actually the over aggressive types have made the last night GREAT!
The battle is half over within 5-6 minutes, the last 5-6 on both sides are really cagey, playing great. I can tell they are good players, they twist, they flank, they never quit even if they're down to one weapon.
End of game lots of sincere 'nice match' 'well played' etc vs. the CRAP in chat I've seen in CW
I've had MORE outstanding, truly GG battles in the last 24 hours than the last TWENTY FOUR WEEKS!
Had quite a few that went down to the last man, so good, that you could see MOST were hanging out spectating!
I think only a couple rollstomps WE win, rollstomps THEY win


I got..I think about 11..maybe 12 points towards the 30 so far, and I got my 3 days of Freemium®
I am NOT regretting buying the timberwuff pack a couple of weeks ago. Really having the fun in game I'd hoped for last year (2013 actually)

PLAY FOR FUN, THE REST WILL COME

Respectfully, welcome to The Art of War 101


Lemme add, if you can get enough to get the 3 days, just farm baby, farm!!
Really dont look at it like you dont get a mediocre mech, but you get 30% ADDED on top of what ever you do.
p.s. I've bought, and sold that mech TWICE in the last couple of years..its "ok" but overshadowed by lots others- both IS and clan in the same price bracket

This even isnt much better.
Every1 is just waiting to last-hit the mech u damage
So most of the game I end up with dmg around 500, 8 assists and 0 kills.


events like this promote very cancerous play.
I once evenr got TKed by my teams Atlas right at the spawn - to not steal his kills.
Terrible event condition - for 4 of play I managed to get whole TWO (yes, two points)

Agree with this as well.
