Ehh scoreboard stopped counting so I stopped playing, now they say thru twiter instead of making some announcement here on the site that it is all ok but only 3 hours and half left or smth and I have like 30 games to go to complete this, not cool.

Yeah it does piss me off that apparently Twitter is the "up-to-date" source for MWO news, not the facking MWO website.

[YUyahoo]

it seems games will count and be sorted out Monday per Russ/twitter

Russ-Sorry for any confusion -please play through until midnight PST as though they will qualify - and I will hope we can get it all straight Mon

They probably don't want to announce on the website when the chain of command is not available to review the wording.

[draiocht]

Bummer there's no sure way to know how many qualifying matches we have in this twilight of the tourny.

I agree, but to be fair it's a lot easier to send out a quick update via a phone app (twitter) instead of a website or even a forum. I like the constant updates from his twitter but I do agree that major news needing a lot of explanation needs to hit the site first.

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.

Yeah, if something ends up happening they'll just do another event I'd reckon. Everyone up in arms should consider that this is a new test and they are handing out free money. Since Tuesday.

[JC Daxion]

server down????????? total crap at the end of the event.... Please extend it... 2-3 days let those that follow, and play earn the MC!.... heck cut it in half if you go past the event... Or.. do what you did the last time.. extend it, and then add something cool.

Heck, give a title... those that do 200 matches.. gets titile.. You ROCK!, maybe unlock a color, or statue or something..

[Ridir Semii]

at the end? I am in PST and it's only 11:06 PM, should be near an hour left in the event

[Greenjulius]

Anyone complaining about not getting 100, you had since Tuesday. Understandable if you don't check in often, but all you had to do was space your qualifying matches out to make it easier. Just get 20 qualifying matches each day, 100 by tonight.

The other side of the coin is that you don't NEED to get all 100. It's an extreme grind that most players won't have time to do. But those that play 100% free accounts should be very happy, as nothing like this has ever been done, at least with this much MC.

[Havyek]

The only complaints I have are about the communication. Free stuff I'm always in favour of, even if it's not the most useful or large in quantity (which 2k MC is by no means either). Free is free.
I'm complaining about MWO (Russ) using Twitter to communicate server errors and the like (this isn't the first time he's used Twitter to pass along info) instead of the official MWO forums/website.

Creating a ticker or something that can be quickly updated in case of an error shouldn't be/isn't that hard, and it irks me to no end that after 2 years we're still relying on someone who has Russ on Twitter/Facebook to relay information than to have the words come from the horse's mouth.

[Tiger Dad]

Darn I stopped playing cause it stopped tracking. Time to restart for 30 mins.

[Kael Posavatz]

EDIT: They didn't give an exact time for the rewards to show up did they.

The reward MC will be injected into your account after the event ends.

Technically, it should've ended 15 mins ago... and nada.

I'll rest to provide more rage tomorrow.

[G SE7EN7]

MC is already delivered

[ERescue]

@Deathlike: As far as I can tell, the MC is trying to redeem after each match, but is not being added. I am sure they will look into that, too, once they return to office on Monday and figure out a fix. Let's just wait a day and rage on Tuesday or Wednesday, if things are still bugged...

EDIT: After exiting fully and restarting, my MC redeemed (and most likely correctly as I sadly think that all my non-logged games failed to qualify). Therefore, on my part thanks for 160 MC...

MATCHES NOT IN LOG DO NOT COUNT

I keep meticulous logs of games. From the MC rewarded I can tell that matches not represented in the tournament log DO NOT COUNT.

early cut off time means lots o lost matches

[Viges]

not cool
