What a great Idea for a event and a even better idea for reward!

I buy MC, but in the Halloween and Holiday events the thing I as always jazzed to get was MC, and 20 mc with no cap? that's brilliant!

Thanks PGI, this year in MWO is off to a amazing start.

Cap is 2000 MC. Still better than any MC event PGI had done in the past due to ease of achieving it. Suspicious...

Still requires you to score OVER 130 in their formula for 100 games to get the cap. Its not a bad event and not a super great one either. I'm not looking forward to the drop in quality of matches though...

The requirements are pretty low and it doesn't require a win.

Nothing will need to change really, unless you're bad at farming assists.

Despite gameplay value and annoyance it is still free MC.

Really not complaining.

[Jonny Slam]

uh........great to see people ready to "support" free stuff.... yeah I guess it would be soooo much better if they just gave us the 2k, then we could spend more time on the forums complaining about free stuff and events instead of playing.

Seriously, what is the deal with people these days? things have improved dramatically of late, and even more dramatically if compared to this time last year. Yet instead of throwing the devs some thank yous and credit for turning this big-ass game around it's just btich, btich, btich.

Its a trick

Because you just know they'll release the Urbanmech for 2001 MC

[MauttyKoray]

I don't see where I was complaining about the event itself. Definitely the best event in terms of reward so far. The match quality, kill stealing, and lack of teamwork will be even more apparent than it was last event though.

Except kill stealing. You don't want the kill in this format, which causes completely different problems.

Sweet! Cuz I'll have 2004 (if I score all the available MC)!

And yeah, no matter what, people will complain. If they simply gave everyone 2k MC, there would be those that complained it wasn't 2.5k or 3k (or more). Some people are just never happy.

[HARDKOR]

If you aren't getting 20 MC off of 75% of your games during this tourney, you are a terrible player.

Also, only a stupid person would stop shooting mech because they were afraid too kill it. You get paid for damage, too, and you should be pulling 200+ points per match unless you are really really drunk.

Converting an assist to kills actually hurts your own score... unless you make that up with damage.

[Brody319]

you have to meet their requirement 100 times to reach the maximum MC. I imagine we will see a lot of Light heros.

[HARDKOR]

So, 200-220 games to get the max on both the clan and IS accounts... challenge accepted.

Yes, but making that up via damage requires an additional 150 damage. Not likely unless you cause an ammo explosion or get a long series of crits before destroying the Mech.

Of course, 7 assists is pretty trivial in a win. Getting to 130 points in a loss is trickier, and really depends on your team to at least do SOMETHING. No one's getting 130 points in a 0-12 stomp loss.

[terrycloth]

If your team wins, you'll probably get it, unless you died early. If your team lost you might get it if it was close and you did really well.

So, 33% of games should qualify for the average player I'd think.

(looks over the records from the Like a Champion) Looks like 36 out of those 121 would probably have qualified (it didn't record damage so I'm guessing). So, more like 25%.

[Lily from animove]

wait, no one screaming the end is neigh because they even start to pay us for playing their game xD

it's really a cool event. everyone will get soem stuff in small doses at leats to spend it for a one shot camo or or some nice minor things.

[wanderer]

Play in CW. Any decent game should end up with multiple people qualifying for the 20 MC per match on both sides, unless one side decides to be doofuses and light zergs.

Have fun,everyone wins.

The kill stealing promotes poor teamwork and gameplay. During the last event I saw way too many rolls occur during a team jumping on an injured opponent to get a kill for it, which would result in poor scores during this event with low damage and assists. Or this could be like the assist-apocalypse that occurred during a previous event where people would tap as many opponents as they could and then just go to town on as many components as possible without killing them, resulting in many avoidable negative results for the team.

As I said, I'm not complaining about the event, I'm complaining about the many players whose idiocy will surface due to it.

[StraferX]

Have not even had a chance to play this event since it went up but somehow I already have a game registered as a fail with all zeros and just 1 team damage ~ what?

What ever I am thankful for this event and will farm as much Mc as I can get.
