I counted it (correct me, if I made mistake..): from 24 player had 14 qualified for the 130 event poins in this game. With the changing the rules (Kills 15-->20 p) would be 15 (@Zergling the only player who would qualified himself too)..

Of course, 15 > 14.. But, everybody, know what would happen in an equal points system, almost everybody would be rush for the Kills... And that would be a pure nightmare..

The present system is not perfect, but many player become their MC, AND avoid the Killrush mentality in the same time too.. Yes, for higher skilled players (players with lot of Kills, and low damage = because, they could aim very effective) are this rule worse, but the majority of the player are not in this category..

Dear PGI, I feel with this high skilled players, but please don't dare to change the system to equal. They are just a minority (least I hope), and have sure the necessary skills to adopt himselfs to this rule very fast..

And just a sideinfo, from Math viewpoint:

- A full 12 player team, in a single match (not CW) can achieve a maximal of 12 Kills

- A full 12 player team, in a single match (not CW) can achieve a maximal of 11x12= 132 Assists!

I know, 132 happens never, but.. even then, what should we aim for.. 132 or 12?...

Umm, in a non CW match there are only 12 enemies that you can "kill assist" there is absolutely no way you can assist in the killing of 132 mechs if there are ONLY 12 to begin with... I believe you confuse spotting assists with kill assists

I'm done playing until this event blows over. Solo queue has always been rife with players wasting heavy tonnage slots with poorly-played LRM boats, but now that people have figured out the scoring formula trying to brawl is an exercice in frustration. No amount of MC could possibly be worth it.

If this event is to be ran again in the future, why not just have it reward straight wins? It's a simple metric that cannot be gamed barring MMR manipulation and doesn't favor any playstyle over another.

Hey man, we're not ALL in heavy, poorly played LRM boats

He's saying that if everybody on your team kills ONE person to ensure the win, and nabs 11 assists on the rest, TECHNICALLY there are 132 assists that can be SHARED by your 12 people.

This is one of your better events PGI. I really enjoy the events that place more value on team play than solo kills.

Thank you PGI for all the event love!

[Barkem Squirrel]

I love it when these events happen, all the LRM's and the targets that are firing them. I'm leveling the treb's right now and going toe to toe, well LRM to LRM against battlemaster 1S's and other LRM boats. Wonder why they die so fast, hum......

[Kaoba]

TIP: Use a raven 3l with er large lasers, you can get easy assist, still do some heavy damage and kills and plus you bring the ecm for the lrm rain.....
This one has worked for me, giving avg 500+ dmg per match and winning streaks of even 10.
Just a tip......

What am I missing? Just finished a conquest match we captured all the resource points killed all the enemy and got 88 points. I mean WTF?

[Flaming oblivion]

kill = 10 points assists= 20 points + (damage-team - damage) divided by 15

Its not match score

You need to hit 130 6 assists one kill for example but your oing to do dmg which puts your score up.

So it's not the team score? Just trying to figure this out...and I'm not that bright.

[Odins Fist]

Does it really matter..?? As soon as a "FREE STUFF" challenge is on...
It's kinda funny, people who never play are all of a sudden on and complaining about losing 24 matches in row.

I'm not kidding some guy said he lost 24 matches in a row.

Is that even possible in an eight hour time frame..??
Thanks for the free stuff PGI, nice gesture.

The quality of teammates goes right into the toilet during a "FREE STUFF" challenge.
That's a "FACT"

[Bloody]

as long as you get some enemy kills you still can get away with a 20 mc credit, otoh the last even it does not matter if you managed 11 kill and lost because no win = 0

[stalima]

i really dont understand why they went with this wierd formula... just a little example as to why it makes little sense:
318076719494437028 2 2 424 2 88 2015-01-29 02:24:15

317233574464569235 1 6 151 15 139 2015-01-29 05:06:30

so 2/2 on kill assist with 424 damage is not good but...

1 kill with 6 assists and 151 damage is better by alot?

this was in the same mech i believe

I dont know about you but this doesnt seem to encourage people to do well as opposed to just tapping as many targets as possible to get the assist... possibly losing in the process or worse, just rush your 7 taps and leave.

[Divine Retribution]

Can you tighten the Elo restrictions for the rest of the event? Right now I can wait 5+ minutes only to have half the team derp off. Maybe they can get a match after 20 second searches, making the bad choice losses no big deal, but I can't. I'd rather wait 10 minutes for decent teammates than 5 minutes for horrible teammates, or worse have to wait several hours for my regular teammates to logon. I'm still getting 130+ score games but game quality has been horrible. Wasn't as much of a problem yesterday.

Attempts to keep those MM release valves shut myself by stopping searches at 2 minutes and starting again is both tedious and it's really hard to tell if it makes any improvement in the match.

There, steam blown off... only 38 more qualifying games to go.

[Flaming oblivion]

^ been having the same problem to a point now I just give up if they get slaughtered the old saying goes.

"To conquer derp you must become derp"

[ChrisTop]

Would be good if this displayed on the >Profile >Challenges page in the usual % format so we could see at a glance how many matches qualified and how many were still to do

[Flaming oblivion]

^ I'm using pen and paper to keep track

[Nori Silverrage]

I wish kills were worth more. Like 15... I just had a match we lost where I got 5 kills 0 assists (because I got all but one kill) and 1080 damage and I won't be getting a point..

Not sure what kinda of match you are getting, but those match I had were good fight where winner often survive with a lance or half the company or more dead.
Match where I score 500 or more damage, I fought until out of ammo and down to a pair of medium laser.
