Well, I do need a bunch of cooldown and range modules for all types of LRMs, the IS LPL (Not sure why I don't already have it) and a few IS ACs.

I like it. Low stress, but still incentive to grind a bunch of matches.

Unfortunately, this event will almost certainly turn out like the last Primary Event where having all three game modes checked as I do means 90% of games are skirmish- that way everyone just gets to kill mindlessly as usual, while still racking up plenty of global objective points.

Sad but true.

[Flaming oblivion]

^ I personally don't see this as a bad thing assault and skirmish are fun in my opinion.

However in conquest I tend to get allies who think splitting capping getting wiped by the enemy murder ball is the way to go.

No amount of telling them move as a grp and cap will stop them.

I detest conquest but unchecking it means I fall victim to the games low player base and run the risk of more mismatched games so cant risk it.

BTW koniving saw you in a game in the mercenary tournament you left after you died. You were the first to die under 200 dmg . Not saying anything just you shoulda stayed we won I personally had a epic 1k 4 kill game

So you finally noticed how the grinding for modules slows down the mech sales?
Because new Mech = lots of grind for the accompaning modules.
Because power creep.

Great.

Now tell me what House Marik gets out of this. Or what it has to do with it in the first place.

Misread that part.

Right lads. Let's all cooperatively shoot each other in the face!

And I mean that with as little sarcasm possible.

Are you referring to the title?

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE MARK II EVENT


That's a "Mark." Not Marik.

[Molossian Dog]

Oops.

Same here... I did a double take thinking it would be another Marik sale.

[Deathlike]

While I could use cheaper weapon modules, the overall goal isn't very interesting and thus doesn't affect my desire to play.

[Flaming oblivion]

^ I tend to agree. I mean its okay not great but okay no real incentive for me to play...... Get the discount either way and don't really need it on wep modules.

Now the more expensive modules I would of been a lot more inclined , ATD,Radar derp and such.

But then again as said before with the like a champ x 2 and the mc event this is a welcome change of pace.

[El Bandito]

I pressed like when I thought it was about all modules. Took my like back when I realized it was only about weapon modules.

[Ductus Hase]

Weapon Modules are great - nice event!

[Michael Costanza]

Doesn't this kind of discourage CW because the matches take longer than the normal skirmish etc modes?

[EvGaS]

20x200 WIN matches = 4000 points.
(200 x 2 wins and losses) x 10 minutes = 4000 minutes of gameplay / 60 = 66 and 2/3 hours of gameplay.

3500 points 15%
Top of event 50% is impossible more for 90% of players
Most of gamers will do only 1 or 2 steps from 10 ) ( 5 or 10 %)

By simple aryhpmetics - it will be better if i will kill ewerything what moves trying to do match task along 400 battles and earn millions and millions c-Bills for modules and 5% discount for randomly earned points.

This is sad, but thanx for that little discount and lots of mindless running targets. =)

[Dino Might]

It's a community pool of points. Everyone's points go into the same pot. No 'different tiers for individual contributions.'

Thanx, 1 miss that.

4000 x 10 (active players) = 40000 points
That 30% discount exept wery big units

[Dino Might]

I might be reading you wrong, but it's not unit by unit. It's the whole MWO community at large - every single player is putting points into a common pool. Points you score go into the same pool as the points I score. The total in that pool at the end determines the tier.

Anyone have the numbers from the last version of this? I think we got 40% or 45% tier for the last community challenge, netting a really nice discount on Stormcrows and Shadowhawks.

Edited by Dino Might, 05 February 2015 - 08:55 PM.

[Greenjulius]

The Shadowhawk/Stormcrow sale reached 45%. This is indeed a community wide sale. Just play lots of games and we should reach 45 or 50%.

I know I'll be leveling my new Cicada, Whales and Battlemasters from the sales.

The average per day was calculated at 100k per day, which very little variance. One theory was that matches were throttled, and could only serve so many at a time.

Result of previous Primary Objective were ~310k. As long as people play this weekend, I expect us to reach something close to that.

Yeah ... I don't care if you made Conquest a 1,000 point win. I still wouldn't play it.

You know, first I thought there was something wrong with conquest. After reading your signature, I know that you need to check the meaning of community.

Let's play! For the greater good discount!
