So, came up with formula. Since 100 matches = 2000 MC, that means 11+ hours... My eyes already hurt ;(

2000 MC is how much? 10$? 15$?

Think about it, you are working 11 hours for 10 bucks...lol

[Kjudoon]

And I just got 2.5 days off in the middle of this all.

Awwwwyeahhhhh.... goodbye any responsible duties I was going to do. Daddy's gone to grind some MC.

[Aresye]

I like the contest, but seriously, why are we doing the same formula? We've established before that Kills being worth more promotes bad gameplay. We've established before that Assists being worth more promotes bad gameplay.

We STILL have yet to try it with Kills and Assists being worth the same.

We STILL have yet to factor in Solo Kills and other parts of the new rewards system that would drastically improve these.

Guess I'll look forward to the next 4 1/2 days of being stuck on teams where players throw the entire game because nobody wants to get a kill.

So sick of these crap formulas, every freaking time.

You're not working,,this is fun...a game.

[KreepyKrawly]

Think about it, to get these assists, the enemy mechs must die... I don't need MC.... Dayam.. my KDR is gunna skyrocket this week...ß-Þ

[MostLikely2Suck]

This event is awesome, because it's very beneficial for free 2 play players who really want to unlock some camo patterns/colours or more mechbays which are all only available for MC, but it also benefits those of us who've put money into the game as well. I really enjoyed having the small MC awards for the stocking stuffer event and I'm very happy to see a longer event with great cumulative prizes for those who are willing to grind it out.

Well done PGI. One of the best reward options for an event like this! Hope this generates lots of action over the event!

Thanks

Awesome PGI, this make everyone feel better after last challenge. So glad I took a week off work this week

So i'll just state the one flaw here, notice how many people run lrm boats during events?
It's pathetic how many there are and how many times you end up as the only one on the front line while half the team is sitting behind you lurming away.
There is hardly any good matches right now when half your team dies to lrms cause they dont know how to use cover/are lrm boats themselves.

[Nick Drezary]

Can we get some kind of counter for qualified matches on tournament page?
100 matches is kind of hard to keep track of.

Sort of expecting this scrap.

Shame I don't have enough time for any meaningful amount

THIS ! Why are players still being punished for getting a kill instead of an assist ? I understand that a kill should not be worth more, since this is a teamplay based game, but it shouldn't be a penalty to get a kill ... and it is clearly showing in the way a lot of players behave. Some people go to extreme lenghts to not get a kill, sometimes allowing a badly damaged enemy mech to continue dealing damage because they don't wanna kill him and thereby hurting the team.

Ever since the release of the Maddog for Cbills and not only during events I noticed a sharp increase of Lrm Boats, especially the VERY annoying Lrm5 chainfire spam builds -.- and since I currently dropped a bit in elo due to leveling my new crabs there is no match without at least 1 of those annoying dogs and another 2 Lrm boats which makes playing anything slow a freakin pain in the a**.

I mean total amount of qualified matches, for example: 25/100, 14/100, 84/100 etc

[Odins Fist]

As with ALL challenges that give out free STUFF the quality of Teammates goes into the TOILET.
Thanks for the challenge though, was nice of you PGI.

Although you are right, I prefer to view it as one of 2 ways:

12 hours is 7 mech bays.

Its pay 2 play.

My goal is to buy my first clan mech with the grind too for there tournies; a Hellbringer. Want me my heavy ecm lrm machine and cash cow.

Don't you just have to do 130 damage, total (assuming no friendly damage, shame shame).

Even in a 12-0 stomping with no kills and no assists, if you manage to do 130 damage you will still get the MC reward.

Or maybe I'm reading the formula wrong.

Oops didn't see the / 15 there. So you would have to do 1950 damage with no kills or assists.

Hmm well not as easy as I thought, guess you really do have to be mercenary to get the freebies in this one!

Not so easy actually. Here is one Match that missed. That is a pretty decent Match...


For perspective, I just got out of a CW Match. We won a Defense, I lost only 1 Mech and hit 130 easy peazy.

2 x 10 + 7 x 20 + (855 / 15) = 217 EVENT points > 130 ??? How can this miss it?

[Kjudoon]

2x20
7x10
855 - team damage/15

All I can think is you did a lot of team damage.

Wasn't there, so Idunno.
