A lot of frustration was avoided recognising early that this challenge would be pretty demanding timewise .So i played normally and got only the 3 points .Last time took me a whole afternoon to get 24 kils .

[Nightshade24]

I love this.

I have seen more team work then ever before thanks to VOIP, I see people disarming, coring, etc mechs and go on the open comms and ask if anyone needs a kill and gives it to them. (sometimes it's a mini piranha (games)* swarm at first but as game progresses there is fewer people who need kills so it becomes more organised)

This has been the most ENJOYABLE part of MW: O in the past 3 years I have been playing and I support you PGI by getting the top tier Wave III pack, You guys deserve it. (Also I got my skin)

You're good. I have 18 points in 82 games ...

[Tiger Dad]

You need to change the clock countdown in the profile to reflect the new change.

[Kodyn]

Been 1 point away from the Raven a few hours, I'm sure eventually, one of these winning games I'll get a team that shares kills...

Thus far it's been a number of guys that ask who needs the kill, then go and take it on purpose while already sitting on 2-3 kills, then laugh and say i should have brought LRMs....

To be fair I've had a small handful of good games this weekend, with good teamwork, but this is what I get for playing at these hours, it's usually not the highest quality of player/human being.

I may get on PGI's case for odd/poor scoring metrics, but in this case, I have to accept there's just some ****** people who play this game :/

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Lucky streak. 1 game won from, the last 17. Matchmaker makes no sense atm.

Rather than extending the event to last for another day, a day which I'm sure many people that had problems playing this past weekend will not be available to play during due to life (ie work, school, etc.), why not just run the event again next weekend?

Running it on more than weekends still gives you some opportunities to gain points.

Agreed. With real life responsibilities, it was all I could do to hit 25. I was able to get 50 last time spread over 2 weekends.

Sometimes life responsibilities do not revolve around Monday - Friday 9-5.

Aren't you one of those guys who just loves to bring nothing but LRMs? If so, you should really blame yourself and not matchmaker.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Not realy. None of my mechs has nothing but LRM. But It was the correct idea to take my LRM boats...that worked thx.

I mainly used in Public games my Enforcers...and you are correct Sir..THEY are LRM boats..without LRM but LRM boats.

22 in 106 games

[mikerso]

So far I have 11 points from 42 matches I will play some when I get off in the morning. Then I might finish it with my night off tonight.

[Lazerblazer]

I got my 25 points. Some statistics:
64 games total
28 wins
89 kills
42 deaths
277 assists
Longest losing streak 8
Longest qualifyin streak 3
Time spent... ~10 hours?

Win rate during this challenge was 0,78 while my overall rate is 1,10. So the match quality really did seem worse than usual. This time however I played almost exclusively skirmish mode so that probably had some effect. Qualifying match ratio was quite constant. I approximated the required amount of qualifying matches a couple of times during the ordeal and it was always around 60-65.

I would appreciate if next time their scoring system would reward good matches better. Or a lower score requirement altogether.

Hi Alex,

is it correct that the profile page tracking the challenges completion level is not reflecting this added day?

Could you please be so kind as to assure the correct Ending-Time is as follows:
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24th 10:00:00 AM (PST)

TIA
eitsch

Thank you for the sneak-edit! The events-page now states:
Ends: MONDAY FEBRUARY 23rd 10:00:00 AM (PST)

EXTENDED 24 HOURS! ENDS FEB 24th 10:00:00 AM (PST)

[Mudhutwarrior]

Thank god, another weekend of this horror and I would uninstall.

That's interesting and good statistic. Congratz! Which mech did you played most?

[Zergling]

Whelp, I just made 25 points and got my Raven, at last!


Here's the stats for my performance that I recorded over three days of play:

Day 1: 20 battles (9 wins / 45.00% winrate), 327 damage/battle, 0.85 kills/battle, 0.94 kills/death, 6 points (3.33 battles/point)
Day 2: 16 battles (4 wins / 25.00% winrate), 497 damage/battle, 1.44 kills/battle, 1.77 kills/death, 4 points (5.00 battles/point)
Day 3: 38 battles (18 wins / 47.37% winrate), 362 damage/battle, 1.11 kills/battle, 1.50 kills/death, 15 points (2.53 battles/point)
Overall: 74 battles (31 wins / 41.89% winrate) 381 damage/battle, 1.11 kills/battle, 1.39 kills/death, 25 points (2.96 battles/point)


I'm far from the greatest player, but I still should have been winning more battles than I did. Hell, the time I played the best was when I was losing the most, which just doesn't make sense.

WVR-6R. It's quite deadly with dual AC5.

Was that because you were good...or because of the Friday Night bug that saw many players drop against totally (or largely) disconnected opposing teams?

I suspect the latter...easy to get 8 kills against 11 DCs
