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!

Sad but true. Haters gonna hate I guess. Some people should just stop playing MWO altogether and move on.

[Myke Pantera]

Cool! Thumbs up!

Way better than the Anniversary "misstep".

This is actually one of most profitable challanges so far.

If we get 45% like last time it's milions of cbills saved.

[ExoForce]

Of course, I have bought last night many weapon modules at full C-bills prices.
Thank You for asking, You are welcome!

Hopefully we will achive the 50% discount...

Then it will be time to get some weapons modules...

[TheDevilsIncarnate]

Sorry, saving up to gear my enforcers next patch, not going to spending money on these unfortunately. Oh well, I'll help others get the sale.

Glad this isn't an individual award event, because I have to work this weekend.

[DB123M]

Ok, so I have a plan. It doesn't matter who completes the primary objective (which team), as only one side can win at a time (so points will be rewarded win or loss), so make sure as a community, even if it's lame, complete Conquest and Assault using the PRIMARY objective, which means capping. Now that being said, It doesn't hurt to rack up kills and do damage in the process, so that you get enough c-bills for the modules, just stop yourself before you kill the whole enemy team in those game modes, and THEN complete the primary objective. This way, as long as it's not a fight to the death when you have no choice but to defend yourself, cause the other team doesn't use this method, we should as a whole community rack up much more points, as the "Primary" objective is constantly maxed, AND you will have the c-bills for modules. Skirmish is easy, only have to kill the enemy team for max points, and community warfare gives double the points but I heard matches take twice as long so it evens out, and those will always end up with max points (same as above, only one team can win, so even if you lose the max points still get added).

Just re-read, so community warfare is either 20 or 40 depending on who wins, so it is possible to get half points, if you are defending. That solves that.

Have fun!

Wonder why you even list 500 points and everything below 14000 because it's impossible to complete the tournament below such numbers... already 295 points after 15 mins.

[Rhialto]

Quick maths, 2000 points for 30 minutes so 4000 for 1 hour x 72 = 288000 = 45%
Even with peak hours I think it would be very hard to reach 450,000 points.

I don't see why "defenders" get the shaft in terms of the points.

Even 30 pts is double the average value that you should get from completing Skirmish matches.

It seems odd to do that in the first place.

PGI scoring?

I agree, it's very odd, but then I'm trying to recall a tourney that didn't have very odd scoring.

[Hellen Wheels]

The glaring flaw in all this is that it could encourage laying down arms the whole weekend just to get each match over with ASAP.

Or is that an exploit? Or a feature? I just don't get it. <shrug>

They should have thrown in some action on the side, e.g., MVP on each side still connected and alive to the end gets a +10% c-bill bonus as a cherry on top. Just an example. Or, get a head-shot and win a funny hat.

I already have all the modules, I'd rather have a funny hat or a MVP bonus.

Had to log out MM gave me 2 bad games in a row. Fair enough I'd had 35 wins to 2 losses.

But nope 2 in a row with terri bad matchmaking I mean clearly bad by scores.

I log out..............

Really? You just said you had 35 wins to 2 losses. You HAVE to lose sometimes or it IS bad matchmaking. Ideally you will be challenged with each match, and not have an easy stomp.

That is how the other event ended, with 310k. I predict a very similar result.

[Flaming oblivion]

Not the losing I draw objection with.

The horror show is where I draw objection, Halve the team got wiped in 2 minutes. I couldn't even beak 200 dmg I got focused that hard because of the mismatch pairing me with 6 lemmings. By the time I died we were outnumbered 10-2

The fight was just a joke , Over before it began

There you have it, the Horrow Show, the lemmings show up just to lay down.

This is a very poorly thought out "challenge" or whatever they call it.

[Blalok]

FYI for the non-number crunchers out there: at the present (3 hours in) we're on target to hit 430,000, just shy of 50% mark.

[Flaming oblivion]

I don't think they will keep this pace up.
