[Viges]

Somebody twitter to Russ IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gyr Falcon]

How about we all just play like we were going to thinking that it ends at 11:59PST or take a break and get some grub into us!

[PenguinMan98]

Logic says, if we don't have the MC, then the event isn't over yet.

[r4p70r]

I just need two more points for this event but it isnt updating, i really hope its a bug.

[Slow and Decrepit]

It isn't the season for bugs!

[PenguinMan98]

Being a web dev myself, I know how easy it is to screw up time zones. My bet is the problem is in the web page, not the game.

[Orbit Rain]

Really devs....really...

[Slow and Decrepit]

I wonder if we need to get a screenshot of our scores....

[Talos7]

Yea, sure seemed to be alot of confusion on the end time.
After i noticed it wasn't tracking the games any more, i asked in game.
All who replied it should be up till later tonight.
Seems everyone was under the impression it ended at 12PST.

oh well, got lots of free MC!!

[Ceefood]

It was made that way to promote teamwork... because before that the forumla put the need on kills... and so kill stealing and multiple kills so most didn't get their points. Thus Assist are easy to get, but it breeds the idea that it's great to tag then to kill...

So make them equal then! Why would you punish success with this formula? If you get 6 kills, no assists, and 900 damage, you get nothing as your score is only 120 points, resulting in an unqualifying match, while getting just 6 assists and 150 damage gets you MC.

Because that formula was also changed with additional points for narc/tag and spotting... they did it to force people to help in the battle instead of sitting back and cherry picking at the end of a game. All they did was drop the spot/tag/narc points from the formula, it's all coded and probably too much effort (server side adjustment) to change on a whim, considering they need to monitor the game, pull out the information, score it, then put it up on an individual server to be pulled up by the web browser for each individual.

I know how it feels... if I wasn't in CW I was in my Oxide... most of my games came down to 2 kills, 4-5 assist then praying I did 450+ damage to ensure the 130pt (and most matches ended up with King Crab I hunted just one shooting my CT from any angle). But then I avoid pug solo queue because of the stupid ELO brackets for all my weight classes and the MM.

Anyone having redeem mc problem after the event? Although I can see the redeem page show up after each time I login a few time, the refresh page fail to update the mc. Funny is that I got my early bird reward for Urban package , I can see the radar dev and sonic sensor in the inventory.

Just keep playing, the server should still be storing game logs and it is probably easy to extend the filters date.

If not then they will just hold another event tomorrow or something.
Been non stop events anyway, not like they are being tight with their digital freebies.

My last game tracked at 14:29:33, which is 11:29:33 PST. Did it end at noon and not at Midnight as it states?

[Eagle01]

I was just wondering... the post says the tournament ends at 11:59pm on Jan 31st PST. But it ain't 11:59pm PST yet, but it's no longer posting my games.

Absolute nonsense. The formula is different almost every time, so it should be an absolutely trivial matter to set up a different formula for a tournament event. If it isn't, then they've done a poor job of designing their system. Heck, for actual leaderboard events, the point values were always reversed. 20 points for kills and 10 points for assists.

I think the easy fix, would be to award 15 points for 'solo kill' and maybe an extra 5 points for 'Most damage done' in addition to the original formula.

Then, there would be more incentive to kill, and really lay into people. While not overly encouraging someone to sit back and kill-snipe people.
