Running at 7 out of 11 right now . First 7 was a streak, but then I hit hard times.

Welcome to the Elo yoyo.

I have during the entire series of the all those assits > kills events not have seen this behavior. because when people don't kill there will also be no assist, and you probably even die. So no idea where you pilots constantly meet these weird unlogically behaving individuals.

Good time to level up a few mechs and pad your stats then isn't it? That's I've been doing.

[Maxxximal]

In theory the highest score for a match in this event is over 1100. What will be the highest score? I am expecting scores approaching 1000.

My personal best so far is 698 (10 kills, 24 assists, 1789 damage less 14 team damage).

What about you?

12Kills 24Assist 2600dmg 33team damage 771 score. My best.

At first I thought you were talking about pug queue. 24 assists! Madness! CW makes it possible obviously.

I have hit the solo queue fairly hard and currently have 77/100. I started with a hybrid LRM30+A and TAG, 5xSPL boat because I needed to farm 39 million c-bills for all 3 dire wolves, and it looked good at first. 2nd match of the event gave me 640k c-bills, my record for a solo game.

Then the MM decided the good tines were over and started giving me ROFLstomps. 0-12 far too often. You can't really insta-kill anyone with a hybrid build, so I fell back on laser vomit. 2xLPL, 5xERSL for 51 point alphas.

It's too easy. I qualify even on losses because I often make 3-4 kills all on my own. The c-bill earnings aren't as extreme, but I no longer have the extreme lows of under 100k. (Even with c-bill boosted mech and premium time) my average is rising however, going back over 230k per match.

Should have all 3 dires tonight, as well as the last 23 matches. Not a bad event.

Why is the tournament page down?

[Havyek]

For those who run CW, do you get 4 points (1 for each wave) when you qualify or just 1 point (since it's technically only 1 match)?

only 1 point

[Divine Retribution]

There, it's done. And the page keeps counting after 100 even though we won't get rewards for extras. Currently at 101 out of 157 for a 64% qualification rate.

[Jeffrey Wilder]

It's a 20% qualification rate for me. That means dropping 500 times for 2K mc over 3 days.

Guess ELO hates me.

[TripleEhBeef]

Well, with the Stocking Stuffer and this I'll have banked 750 MC. Didn't play for most of the challenge duration, so that's a bit of a bummer compared to what some of you other guys racked up. Deciding to log off for the night and watch some TV.

But hey, when mechbays go half off, that's another 5 for me. Can't gripe.

[Flaming oblivion]

Got my 2k some hours ago and started working on mastering the mad dog.

[Sixpack]

To me the formula that has been posted seems to be wrong.

Target: 130 points

Formula:
Match Points = (Kills × 10) + (Kill Assist × 20) + ((Damage Done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)

Let's take this failed match: 1 1 324 0 52

That would be

(10) + (20) + ((324 - 0) +15) = 369 points

Obviously it did not qualify when checking.

So I would like to know how the formula for calculating the points actually looks like. Because what they show in the event news is not the correct one.

Thanks in advance. (Or do they mean "get a match score of above 130 and ignore this formula?)

Umm it's damage / 15, not damage +15
Need glasses, or maybe another sixpack

Maybe, but simply using / is far more visible than the ÷ sign, looks like a plus to me

Though I'll blame it on being past 5 am here ^.^

[Greenjulius]

152 games, finally qualified for all 100. Picked up all three Direwhales too. Quite a grind for 40 million, but I guess I save ~$55 (No Invasion variant obviously) and got $10 worth of MC.

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"

well i had 4 wins in last 30 or so games,almost all qualified for the challenge gladly

[G SE7EN7]

WOW just counted up my matches. 92/184 qualify, Holy sheet!! Didn't even realize Id played so many
